UK Members The reason why I stopped posting and visiting is because I cannot stand the attitude of some on here and the opinionated nature of some. This should be a place where people get together to talk about our wonderful interest in amazing vacuum cleaners across the board. I've seen...

I agree with ajr2993 I cannot stand johnnyl8. One of the most patronising, know-it-alls I have ever come across! He cannot accept that Dyson have their pitfalls and are not excellent. He reminds me very much of a Dyson employee who I work with sometimes in a department store who defends the...

Oliveoiltinfoil Thank you so much for the advice! Its interesting you say about the seal drying out as the bin is only bin in use for 8 months as the previous one cracked off after accidently bashing the cleaner into a sofa leg a few times. I've not cleaned the seals before as I just empty...

Hi All, I have a slightly unusual post regarding my Dyson V8 and it is activating my OCD unfortunately. I've noticed when I go to pull up on the red lever to empty the product, the lid of the bin does not shoot open like it shows on the Dyson videos. The lid appears to need to be 'teased'...

Hello Oliveoiltinfoilm Thanx so much for coming back to me, really appreciate that. In the end, I bought a secondhand V6 Absolute main body from Ebay for £29 and obtained the cyclone that way. Though I also admit, I replaced the battery on this machine as it was sold as faulty, with a red...

It looks impressive. I do like the look of the V11 Micro model. I have a Dyson V8 Absolute and it has been pretty good, not the most durable for me as I use it daily on top of my SEBO but it certainly has changed the way I clean. I guess batteries are the way forward from now on. It's...

Each to their own. I want quality and that is where I would go for a SEBO Felix, not a fragile Dyson. I completely disagree about your comment on the handle being fragile on the Felix, it is not fragile at all. Stand on a Felix and then on the Dyson and see which one will crack first!! It...

Good Morning, I am looking to obtain a new cyclone for a Dyson V6 Absolute body as I have everything, but the Cyclone and the Filters, top and back ones. Question is, do I need to specifically get a cyclone for the V6 Absolute, or would any V6 cyclone assembly fit this model? I am only...

niclonnic I think you are overreacting!! Firstly, as you mention, there is a Covid 19 pandemic!! So this means that Bissell like many other businesses are operating at reduced staff levels, possibly having to make redundancies and people are losing their jobs right left and centre. Do...

Battery The battery lasting only 2 years is typical really. Especially when used in Max mode. Vacuumdevil: With regards to Made In Malaysia or China. There's nothing wrong with stuff made in those countries!! After all where are Iphones made? I think that's a very pig ignorant attitude...

I doubt very much that its an electronic problem. My V8 has done this numerous times, even after taking out the filter and washing it, letting it dry and put it back it. Take the filter off at the top of the cyclone and run the machine again to see if it is still doing this. You might need to...

It is 04. Iron Swivel Lock DY-913826-01 on the diagram. Does anyone know if this part is easy to replace?

Hi All, I have managed to break to the Swivel Lock on my Dyson DC24 when I was vacuuming 2 years ago and managed to break the piece of plastic on the front that keeps the machine stable when it is standing upright. Now when I use the machine, the whole machine keeps on tipping side to side...

Run Times I think the new V10 looks good. I have a V8 Absolute and its fine. Though I wish that Dyson would not mislead customers with the '60 minutes' claim. The 60 minutes does not apply to when the machine is used as a vacuum cleaner on carpets with the motorhead attached. Its 6...

Umm a Dyson Light Ball gets a 'C' rating for carpet. Shouldn't you be asking why a Dyson doesn't get an 'A' for the claims they make about their 'wonderful technology'? Also, the X7 has a different programming sequence and adjust itself with different logic. It does not work in the same way as...
