I would absolutely NOT recommend doing this to your V10. Its royal pain and almost impossible without risking breaking your vacuum. If you want a machine with washable cyclones get the he LG A9 or Samsung Jet.
I am about to embark on this, thank you for the video.
I disagree with Matthews comments, "That's how cyclones cleans themselves they get built with dirt and then it gets heavy and falls" these things are *not* self cleaning past a certain point. 3 years ago we bought a v10. works great when it's working but after 18months it started to clog in ways that regular cleaning wouldn't fix. Using a PC cleaning air blower I got it going again, huge amount of dust came out of areas you can't clean too.
Now, another year+ later, it's clogged again but this time the PC air spray isn't fixing it (although it did get a lot of gunk out).
My choices are:
- Do something extreme like this video.
or
- Chuck it
I figure that if I'm going to chuck it I might as well try the extreme cleaning first and if I break it I'm not worse off.
If extreme cleaning it works well, I *might* consider buying another dyson in the future but the "self cleaning" sales pitch is BS.
This is my third dyson but these days, there are other similar designs that look easier to maintain. I don't want to buy one every three years.
I would honestly recommend a leaf blower or air compressor to clean the cyclone
@@VacMaster1991 My v10 is fixed ! Thank you
Actually I didn't need to open it all the way up but I did need to get part the part where you used the knife thingy and I couldn't work that out by myself.
There was a lot of crap in there and my PC blower was able to get to the gunk further inside from there too.
I think I'm good to clean it when needed now till the battery eventually dies or whatever happens.
Thanks
I think that next time I'll buy something that's easier to clean though
IMHO Dyson has a problem with small particles collecting throughout their vacuums. As soon as you start to disassemble the V10 you can see clumps of fine particles everywhere. Then you get to the clogged cyclones which can render the whole thing worthless and as you mention it's almost impossible to disassemble and clean without breaking it. What other vacuums have this issue? I've owned several Dyson vacs over the years and I'm done with them. There are better options with less maintenance at or below that price point.
The LG A9 and Samsung Jet both have washable cyclones
Makes a mess with a vacuum; cleans it up with a vacuum. Good job !
Thanks
thank you bro, I just disassembled mine with your help and as you said, holy sh** it was hard but it was the only way to make the vacuum stop smelling like literal fungi every time i wanted to clean the floor xd
I broke mine in the reassembly process. I would never recommend doing this. It's not meant to be taken apart
@@VacMaster1991yup that’s why they sell ALL these parts separately because they anticipate their vacuum smelling like ass and you can’t do anything about it besides buying a new filter area…
Hey dude - great job!!! I would not have been able to do mine without your vid. Well done!
Thanks. Removing the cyclone and using compressed air or a leaf blower is the best option
To be honest, I take the 4 cross-head screw out from the filter, then the screw near the rubber seal, and then put the whole thing in the dishwasher at a lower temperature. Bring it up amazingly well, saves you from prying off the plastic pieces. If you use dishwasher salt, its basically deionised water anyway. Ive been servicing them for a while now (not for anyone paying) and never had any issues with electrical contacts or anything, but that's just me
I would honestly recommend a leaf blower or air compressor. This cyclone is impossible to safely take apart
Thanks for showing, saved me frm 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks fixed my V10 by taking the back section that the filter fits into and cleaning the dust from there.
Glad I could help
Air compressor is what I’m going to try on mine. After watching this. That is fine dust. An air compressor maybe able to get rid of it.
Yep, us air. Don't ever take it apart.
What type of shop vacuum is that? Sounds like it has some serious balls to it.
It's a eureka upright vacuum.
Hi. We own a V10 and the red rubber seal and another grey plastic piece fell off inside the dust canister. Can you help? Thx
Did the rubber come from the top or bottom of the bin? What is does the piece of grey plastic look like?
Thanks for your help. Called dyson. We need new part.
Good job
Thanks
I did this sime time ago. They really should make their vacuums easier to disassemble. It was a real pain.
I wouldn't do this. Instead use an air compressor or leaf blower to clean it instead
@@VacMaster1991 I used ours to vacuum drywall dust. Disassembly was the only option.
Yea. Bad idea. Use a shop vac. They say in the instructions to avoid fine particles
@@VacMaster1991 I learned that the hard way!
I would not recommend taking it apart. Mine broke from this. I would replace the cyclone
Hello, can you please let me know which size & head screwdriver you used to open this up. My vac has broken recently and I have lost my tools bag during shifting to new home. Thanks
A torx t8 I believe. A long one at least 3 inches. A set like this should do. www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Torx-Precision-Screwdriver-Set-6-Piece-48-22-2610/205398193
Thx for ur video....very good instructions to take it a part. May I ask u where did u buy the "IFIXIT" tool case...looks like every tech should have that. Many thanks and appreciate ur detail instructions. Keep up the good work to save money in repairing by others..
You can get the I fix it on there website
Who was waiting for the vac tech to suck up a few screws when vacuuming the dust off the floor. 🤣
I made sure not too.
I have a Dyson V10 that I have only used a dozen times. It is fully charged and a little light on it indicates the Filter needs to be cleaned and the vacuum keeps stalling when I try to us it. But after watching this video I think my Dyson will end up in my trash barrel and I'll go back to my old vac with a cord that was quick and easy to clean out!!! I will never buy another Dyson Vac!!!
Did you check the hose port for clogs.
Aside from the pain of dismantling your dyson, would you say when all is clean and re connected it’s worth it? Also Any changes in performance or did the smells go away? I can’t afford a brand new one, I got one off OfferUp, and they did say it was used for their dog, which has an odor and do see dog hair coming from inside the filter area/motor, so it’s really bothering me what’s inside and how much build is really in there before using it for my home.
Honestly it's not worth it. Just take the cyclone off and use compressed air, air duster or a leaf blower.
This seems like waaaaay too much work for a 'simple' cleaning to get dust and clumpage out and back to working order. We took ours apart right up to the point where screws need to be replaced. I won't be doing this. We just ordered a couple new filters and I hope that returns this monster to day-one condition.
Yea agreed.
@@VacMaster1991 Actually, wifey (the McGyver in this house) did all the cleaning stuff according to some online help, and now it works like day one. It pays to "marry right". Ha.
@@MrTommy001 sounds good
This is the number one reason I do not like bagless vacuum
I have no problem with them. I shouldn't have bothered doing this and just used a leaf blower or compressed air
I really want to buy the Dyson V11 Torque Drive to replace my V7 with but this seems like a royal pain in the butt to clean out. I really want all the tools and automatic suction but now I’m like maybe I should keep my V7.
The LG A9 or Samsung Jet are both really good upgrades from the V7. I'm pretty sure the v11 is even harder to clean out than the v10
@@VacMaster1991 Can you do V7 vs V11 and Samsung Jet? I might get the Samsung but I really liked my V7 and the Dyson comes with the best customer service. The Lg doesn’t have the best attachments like it’s missing the really nice dusting brush and it only comes with a vibrating carpet nozzle.
@@ajf2005 the Samsung will probably win
@@ajf2005 , Yea then go for the V11,
@@VacMaster1991 I will buy it for myself for Christmas.
What do you use to clean your bin it looks brand new and the head
I use glass cleaner. Then I use plastic polish and a foam buffer on a drill
Honestly at this point i just remove the battery and motor and dust bin from the vacuum and just wash the entire thing under a tap and let it dry for about a week when I do deep cleaning now
I just don't bother taking apart mine anymore. It doesn't need to be. And it's a huge pain
👏👏👏
I vacuumed some wet stuff and ever since it smells like mold
I would recommend replacing the cyclone pack. Since disassembly is extremely difficult
Aligning these sections can be a real pain. I made a registration mark with a Sharpie on each piece to help me remember how to realign for reassembly.
That is one of the many reasons I never recommended taking apart a Dyson.
The irony of needing a vacuum to clean your vacuum.
Lol yea.
Did you have are kirby vacuum Cleaner to
I do, it's in very poor shape. Needs lots of repairs
The wire connector block to the wand are easy to take out. However a hammer pliers and screw driver is not a good idea. I use a plastic knife as a wedge. A block of wood that's the size of the connector. And lightly push the wand in with connector so that the connector slowly pushes out. The video I am showing is another person doing it the wrong way. Go to 17.28 of the video. The connector comes apart easy. Takes me a few seconds to do it my way.

Honestly not worth doing. It takes so much time. Just remove the cyclone from the body and use compressed air or a leaf blower to clean it.
@VacMaster1991 yup such is the drawback of Dyson putting the wiring into the canister assembly. From the V10 right down to the gen 5, however the gen 5 and the detects have a sensor in one of the cyclones to detect particle size upstream the outer edge of the cyclone
The cables couldn't go anywhere else so they had no choice
Your instructions are no good. The job is tougher than it looks. I followed the video the best I could and took everything apart. Since I don't have another vacuum cleaner, I used pressure washer to spray away all the dirt/dust and put it back together. But vacuum won't turn on any more. Sending it back for warranty repair.
Honestly I wouldn't recommend doing this. Use a leaf blower or compressed air
Keep it in camera would help
No screen on the camera. Can't see. I do have one now
definitely need to take off the battery first
Probably should have. Lol
So don't buy a V10 then! Bad enough that every screw has a different head, but that bit from 5:00 would be impossible to find.
The V10 is fine. If you need to clean the cyclones then use a leaf blower or compressed air.
They spent so much time and effort engineering thest things and charging you quadruple the price, and then they have a vacuum that doesn't pick up powder, without self-clogging. What a travesty.
It picks up powder just fine. Using a leaf blower is better. This clean out was a total waste and didn't improve the vacuum at all. It just smelled that's why I took it apart
@@VacMaster1991did it fix the smell? Mine smells like dog no matter how many clean filters I put in
What a wally
?
Prob be a 10min video if the guy used a drill not a screw driver lmao
Yea. Its easy to break a vacuum using a drill
The reason why Dyson makes it so difficult because they don't want you in there which I completely understand. Cyclones cleans themselves and every once in a while you could help it by taking your other vacuum and clean it out without taking it apart. Taking it apart will AVOID YOUR WARRANTY!
But, the area around the cyclones get caked with dirt. They stink after a while. Dyson needs to think of that and make the cyclone easy to clean. Both LG and Samsung cordless vac's, there cyclones can be washed along with the bin and both filters. The inability to clean the cyclone has been something I have always not liked about Dyson's vacuums. They still haven't fixed that issue. Dyson is the only brand I am aware of that makes user serviceability incredibly difficult. And also this was just for a video. I would NEVER recommend doing this. It's easer to use compressed air or a leaf blower.
@@VacMaster1991 Definitely not a air compressor or a leaf blower because you could crack it. Washing your cyclones? Wouldn't recommend that because it could make the smell worse. That's how cyclones cleans themselves they get built with dirt and then it gets heavy and falls. (Just like water up in the clouds). Then next time you empty the bin it falls out.
@@Matthew-jp4sn , A leaf blower defiantly wont crack it unless you use some crazy industrial one. Compressed air as in cans of air. or gentle air compressor. Washing the cyclones won't make them smell if they dry correctly
@@VacMaster1991 Yeah can air would definitely work without taking it apart. But be prepared to have your vacuum with you. 😂
@@Matthew-jp4sn LOL. Yea. again. This was for fun and a video, (though it wasn't very fun). I would never recommend taking the cyclones apart to anyone ever. If your Dyson smells, suck up a little arm and hammer carpet deodorizer.
