Best way to clean a Dyson V15

[mieles5380leo]

Hi everyone,

I have always cleaned out my bagless vacuum cleaners with the air compressor after use. I recently purchased a Dyson V15 in April, and I use it almost daily. I have read and seen videos where these newer Dyson cordless machines can easily end up with a load of dust in the motor (for example, if you switch on the unit by accident during emptying). I am concerned about whether it is a bad idea for me to use the air compressor to clean out the cyclones. I was considering doing it, but leaving the filter installed and then blowing it off separately afterwards; therefore, if I blow any debris up into the motor unit while blowing out the cyclones, the filter should shield the motor.
So, my question is, would anyone recommend me blowing out the cyclones in it? Should I avoid doing that and just continue to clean it off with another vacuum periodically and wiping it down, or is there a good method to blow the cyclones out? Let me know your thoughts if you have any experience. Thank you!

Empty the bin and rinse the filters (see manual), as outlined here. If the bin is visually filthy for some reason, wipe with a dry or damp cloth, avoiding wetting the seals. Almost anything else is completely unnecessary and myths/propaganda from sources that often don't understand how cyclones work or the airpath of the machine.
