To periodically service your Dyson vacuum cleaner, you need to disassemble it. Despite the high tightness of the device, there is a possibility of dust getting into the interior of the structure. You can disassemble a Dyson vacuum cleaner yourself; no special tools or skills are required. The inside of the device can be cleaned with soft cloths and special substances.
How to disassemble and clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner
To clean the Dyson vacuum cleaner, you need to make sure that the device is not energized. All Dyson devices have elements that require cleaning:
- removable container for collecting garbage;
- several types of nozzles;
- cyclone;
Additionally, some models are equipped with:
- corrugated hoses;
- telescopic or solid tubes;
- filters before and/or after the engine.
How to clean hair and fur from attachments
In order to clean the vacuum cleaner brush, it is disassembled and the roller (or rollers) of the nozzle are released. Use scissors and tweezers to remove long hair and fur. All other debris from the roller and nozzle is swept away with a brush, then the parts are wiped with a napkin.
Using the TangleFree mini turbo brush allows you to efficiently remove animal hair and hair, while the cleaning process of the nozzle does not require the use of scissors. Debris is easily swept away with a brush. For high-quality and quick cleaning of the mini turbo brush, you can use the crevice nozzle.
Cleaning the filter
If you need to clean a vacuum cleaner with a cyclone mechanism, you need to determine which filter it is equipped with. The package may include:
- washable pre-engine filters;
- washable microfilter located after the engine;
- HEPA fine filters.
Washable filters, after removal, are cleaned under running cold water, with gentle tapping to speed up the cleaning process. After washing, the filter should be carefully squeezed out and left to dry completely for 1-2 days.
When washing and drying filters, the following must not be used:
- hot water;
- any chemical dishwashing detergents;
- dishwashers;
- washing machines;
- hair dryers;
- microwave ovens.
Exposure to high temperatures and aggressive substances can compromise the integrity of the structure and lead to premature failure of parts.
Hepa filters are maintenance-free, cannot be cleaned, and must be replaced at the end of their service life. The design of these filters allows you to retain microparticles that go through all the preliminary stages of purification.
With proper use and regular cleaning of washable filters, the service life of HEPA filters is approximately 7 years.
General information
Dyson does not produce washable vacuum cleaners, focusing all its attention on the production of dry cleaning devices, creating both battery-powered and mains-powered models. Their common feature is the absence of a garbage bag, which replaces a cyclone filter with a dust collection container. The filtration system includes several cones that suck in dusty air at high speed.
The laws of physics cause dust to settle on the walls of the bowl. The motor is protected by a washable filter. In addition to convenient disposal of the container, the advantage of such a system is that the power of the vacuum cleaner does not depend on the amount of debris it absorbs. Dyson vacuum cleaners are not so widely known in Russia, since they do not have aggressive advertising in this market. However, Dyson vacuum cleaners belong to the innovative premium segment.
The Dyson range consists of 16 vacuum cleaners. More precisely, these devices bear little resemblance to conventional vacuum cleaners. All of them are very compact in size and weigh less than 2 kg. They are also combined with a lithium-ion battery and a charging station, which allows you to clean the waste container with one button without disconnecting the attachments. The rotating anti-static brush is not unique to Dyson, but is present in all of their models.
How to increase the efficiency level of a home appliance
A device selected taking into account operating conditions will work effectively. Dyson produces 2 types of devices:
Cordless vacuum cleaners can be selected to clean home spaces of any size. A set of accessories allows you to vacuum any type of coating:
- hard;
- carpet;
- delicate, including parquet;
- carpet
This device is suitable for pet owners, especially long-haired ones. The quality of purification of the air entering the cyclone allows people suffering from allergies to lead a normal life.
Compact dimensions allow you to use the device in a car.
Cylindrical ones are not intended for cleaning delicate surfaces, and they are inconvenient for vacuuming cars.
In order for a household device to work efficiently, a number of rules must be followed:
- Choose the right vacuum cleaner from the proposed model range, taking into account all the tasks that need to be solved with the help of the device.
- Use recommended attachments to clean the surface.
- If there is a suction power switching system, adjust it depending on the type of cleaning to be done.
- If you need to provide clean air for a child or a person suffering from allergies, then with low suction power, Hepa filters are more effective.
- Do not allow moisture to get inside the device. Dry all washable parts thoroughly.
- Do not allow household appliances to be near an open fire or heating device.
- To ensure safety, do not use a vacuum cleaner on wet surfaces.
How often can you wash a household appliance?
Cleaning a Dyson vacuum cleaner depends on the frequency of use of the device and the type of debris being removed. After treating surfaces where flour or other small debris has been spilled, the filters must be washed immediately.
The waste container is emptied when it is filled to the Max level. But it should be borne in mind that the remains of wool and household waste are a favorable environment for the proliferation of microorganisms. If the vacuum cleaner will not be used for a long time, it should be washed thoroughly.
Recommendations for proper cleaning of the vacuum cleaner
A person washing a Dyson vacuum cleaner should follow the following algorithm:
- De-energize the device by disconnecting it from the power source.
- Remove the nozzle and, having disconnected the roller, clean the brush from the vacuum cleaner. Then wipe it with a damp cloth.
- Inspect and wipe the hose or tube, remove blockages.
- Empty the contents of the cylinder into a trash bag.
- Remove the container of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, rinse with cold running water and, after wiping with a napkin, leave to dry.
- Remove the filters and, after washing them under running cold water, place them to dry.
- Inspect the gaskets and carefully rinse the cyclone with running water without immersing it in water.
- Dry the parts for 48 hours. The occurrence of an unpleasant odor can be directly related to increased humidity of filters and internal parts.
- After inspecting all components for damage, reassemble the device in proper order.
Sometimes the question arises why the Dyson vacuum cleaner does not suck up debris. The cause may be a blockage in the cyclone; this is most often accompanied by heating of the device and its shutdown.
In this case, you should carry out extraordinary cleaning of the device. The Dyson mechanism is different in that the suction power does not depend on the level of debris in the container and is constant throughout the cleaning process.
If your Dyson vacuum cleaner runs jerkily, the reason may be that debris has gotten into the restrictor valve hinge. Simply disconnect the hose and manually remove the blockage.
When to use the services of specialists
If the problems are related to the motor, it is better not to disassemble the device yourself, but to take it to a service center. Engine repair is a complex process that is best left to a professional. Wrong actions can easily break the “internals” completely, after which you will have to change everything completely.
Dyson vacuum cleaners are highly durable, but they still need to be cleaned regularly. This will require partial disassembly of the equipment: removing the waste container, filter and a small check of the parts. It is better to leave the repair of the motor to the service center.
How often can you clean a household appliance?
The device is equipped with a dust container, which should be emptied every three cleanings, even if it is not yet full. If, after using the device once, a lot of debris has accumulated in the dust collector, be sure to shake it out.
Wired and wireless models are equipped with two preliminary and final cleaning filters: the first product must be washed at least 1-2 times a month.
Fine filters, depending on the material they are made of, can be:
- Reusable - made of fluoroplastic fibers filled with activated carbon. Such devices can be washed as they become dusty.
- Disposable - made of paper, fiberglass with antimicrobial impregnation. You cannot blow air or place the filter in water to remove dirt - the product will be deformed and lose its properties. If dust accumulates in the device, it should be replaced with a new one.
IMPORTANT! Disassemble the device and remove dust from its internal surfaces at least once every six months. If you often use a vacuum cleaner, carry out this procedure once every three months.
DESIGN FEATURES
● Ball™ technology
Due to the fact that the body has the shape of a ball and a low center of gravity, the vacuum cleaner moves obediently and quickly, turns around on the spot, deftly avoids corners and various obstacles, does not cling to folds of carpets and maneuvers between furniture.
● Push-button dust bin cleaning system
The dust container is emptied with just one press of a button. The dust collector is easily detached from the body and installed in place, and its transparency allows you to see the degree of filling.
● Movable nozzle for hard floors
In addition to the turbo brush, the kit also includes this nozzle with a movable mount and a narrow base, which gives it extraordinary maneuverability and the ability to reach those places that are often left unreached when cleaning: the spaces around the legs of furniture, between and under furniture.

How to wash the outside and inside after cleaning?
The algorithm for cleaning cyclone devices is similar to cleaning other vacuum cleaners:
- disconnect the device from the power supply;
- disassemble the vacuum cleaner after studying its operating instructions;
- wash all removable elements;
- remove the rear engine cover, remove dust from the engine;
- assemble the device, turn it on and check its operation.
IMPORTANT! It is strictly unacceptable to wash the parts of the vacuum cleaner with hot water and hard sponges. It is also prohibited to use preparations containing acids or alkalis to remove contaminants. Abrasive products can damage plastic components of household appliances.
Cleaning the attachments from hair and fur
The brushes of the vacuum cleaner can work due to the force of the sucked air (the quality of cleaning with the nozzle in this case depends on the power of the cyclone device) or from an electric drive that rotates the roller in autonomous mode.
Recommendations
The internal surfaces of a household appliance are also susceptible to contamination over time, so clean them every six months using a dry soft cloth or a disinfectant wipe.
In case of significant accumulations of dust in the device, wash the surfaces with a neutral detergent (soap solution), then wipe the treated areas dry and leave the device to dry disassembled for two days.
Also regularly wipe the outer sides of the case and the handle with a dry cloth , and wash it with a mild detergent every six months or a year (depending on the intensity of the formation of dirt).
ATTENTION! Before the cleaning procedure, soak a cloth in the product and wring it out so that a large amount of moisture does not get into the device, which can lead to oxidation of the conductive contacts and damage to the device.
How to increase the efficiency level of the device?
- If the suction properties of the vacuum cleaner deteriorate, check how full the dust container is and remove debris from it. Also, the need to clean the container is indicated by a change in the noise emitted by the device during operation.
- During the cleaning process, take short breaks in the operation of the device to prevent possible overheating of the engine (the equipment should operate continuously for no more than 2 hours).
- Do not put pressure on the tube and the brush attachment, pressing it to the floor: this will limit the access of air into the vacuum cleaner and the motor may overheat.
When using a vacuum cleaner, strictly follow the operating rules of the device specified by the manufacturer in the instructions.
If your device is not equipped with a dynamic load sensor system that automatically adjusts the engine speed, set the required power mode to clean different types of surfaces (smooth floors, carpets, rugs).
Assembly and subsequent installation
When assembling, all parts of the turbo brush must be firmly fixed. The rotating element is the main component of the nozzle. If it is not securely fastened, it may fly off during operation. To do this, after removal, the element must be clearly placed in the landing recess. After this, check its performance by rotating the unit with your fingers. If nothing interferes with the rotation, then close the plug and secure the lid. Then install the turbo brush in place.
Vacuum cleaner manufacturers recommend cleaning the turbo brush after every second cleaning in a room where there are pets. If there are no pets, then you need to clean it after the fourth cleaning. If you follow these simple rules, the nozzle will last for many years. The bristles will remain clean, and the power of the vacuum cleaner and its motor will not be affected.
Useful video
This video will show you how to disassemble and clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner:
Any instrument requires care to remain functional. When using a Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean your home, you should know how to clean the device from the collected dirt. The internal labyrinths and cavities are gradually clogged with a thin suspension, and the suction power decreases. Systematic care of the device will extend its service life.
Cleaning a Dyson vacuum cleaner
In the process of collecting garbage and separating it from the air at high speed, solid particles are electrified by friction. Dust settles on internal surfaces and is difficult to remove. How to clean the inside of a Dyson vacuum cleaner after cleaning? When routinely removing accumulated debris from the bowl, the manufacturer advises leaving a thin layer of adhered dust until general cleaning. No housewife will tolerate her instrument having sticky hairs or being covered with a layer of gray dust on the outside. That's right, wipe the tool after each use.
conclusions
I admit that this is not my first experience using a cordless vacuum cleaner. However, with Dyson I realized that before that I had a toy vacuum cleaner. The absence of a wire is super convenient.
The powerful engine is another plus. The first test with the V11 Absolute Pro was straight out of the box. We have a carpet, two cats and a dog in our house. Usually you had to spend about fifteen minutes just on the carpet, and it was not a fact that it became clean. With the Dyson it took about three minutes to clean.
Cleaning has become easier, and less time is spent on cleaning. Another plus is the simple and contactless emptying of the dust container. No need to fuss with bags, no need to clean up after cleaning.
But, as I noted above, there are also disadvantages. This is quite a noticeable weight, which interferes with long-term cleaning, and the need for a place to store the vacuum cleaner and accessories.
Well, probably the most serious disadvantage is the price. You will have to pay almost 50 thousand rubles for a home assistant. Is it a lot or a little? It depends on how you evaluate it. Perhaps this is not an investment where you can invest money, but on the other hand, you are paying for technology, quality, reliability and cleanliness. It is worth noting that there are other models in the V11 line, they are simpler and cheaper.
