    Best way to clean a Dyson V15

    Well you see, when Vacuum Facts starts talking, it’s like that irritating wasp, that is so annoying, not wanted, but just buzzes away anyway! So that’s really all I got to say about you and what you come up with. Perhaps you may like to consult your colleagues at Dyson and tell them to...

    Dyson V15 wheel snapped off

    I’m very disappointed to see that Dyson has not sorted out the problem with the weak design of the wheel housing. After only 1 year of ownership the wheel has snapped off my V15 Absolute!!!! I’m pretty annoyed as I don’t have a warranty on it either as it was swapped by Dyson due to an issue...

    Best way to clean a Dyson V15

    Vacuum Facts - Your use of the word propaganda is so excessive and a bit annoying to be honest. Most of us know you are a Dyson fan boy, possibly work for them. So calm it with your defensiveness. You are actually INCORRECT about not needing to do anything else with a Dyson for...

    What happened to the UK members?

    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...

    My reasons why Johnnyl8 (VacuumFacts) Sucks

    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...

    Dyson V8 Bin Issue

    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...

    Dyson V8 Bin Issue

    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'...

    Dyson V6 Absolute UK Spec Cyclone Question

    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...

    Dyson V15, Omni Glide and their “new” strategy

    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...

    I really like the new Dyson'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...

    Dyson V6 Absolute UK Spec Cyclone Question

    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...

    Bissell Customer Service FAIL

    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...

    Dyson v8

    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...

    Dyson V6 Car + Boat - Motor cutting out

    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...
