That is a great instruction video. No music,no BS, straight to the point. Thank you

This video is a game changer for the performance and life of your vacuum. Thank you for making this informative and simple to follow video. I really appreciated the added insights on tips, tricks, and things you might run into and most importantly that you took the time to show the reassembly step by step -instead of saying something like “now put it back together in the reverse order you took it apart” which sounds fine at the time, but I have found *more than once unfortunately* it can be easier said than done. My vacuum is a few years old and runs like it’s brand new so thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much for this, you have saved a Dyson from going to landfill (neighbor was throwing it out) simple maintainence like this saves so much waste and protects the planet. Again, thank you

Thank you so much for such an informative, step-by-step video! Hands down, the best how to for Dyson out there!

Thank you Russell - I swear this is the most high maintenance vacuum I've ever encountered :)

It feels so good to be know my vacuum is thoroughly cleaned after watching this! I’ve never seen anyone show how to get the cyclone apart. Thanks!

Thank you! This was explained very well… my Dyson has been pulsing on and off for a couple of weeks.. I had no idea how to pull it apart.. it’s now cleaned and drying.. hoping that sorts it out. Great video. Thank you!!

Thank you for such a thorough walkthrough of each step! I'll definitely be saving this video for the next time my Dyson needs a deep cleaning 😊

GREAT, GREAT EXPLANATION. That was so well done. It is rare for a device such as that to be broken down, cleaned and reassembled with clarity. The accent didn't hurt.

THANK you very much Russell, I could not have done the thorough cleaning of the cyclone assembly without your detailed instructions. A TORX T9 dedicated (not multi-bits) screw driver 6" long from handle end to tip will make this work easy and well worth acquiring one before starting the work. My gratitude also extends to KZfaq for their publications.

I’ll pile on here with the rest of the grateful viewers, and, like the previous commenter, really appreciated the reassembly instructions. You saved the day by enabling me to restore my vacuum. “‘‘Twas a brave man who disassembled the Dyson vacuum and then put it all back together. It won the war.” Author unknown

Mate you are a champion. I never knew how to pull the filter apart. You just saved me a trip to Dyson. 6 years of dust build up in the filter gone. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thanks Russel for your knowledge -- Of all the videos yours was the best demo out there -- We learned a lot from you -- Brian

Genius! Thanks man, I was this close to throwing my Dyson away. Now it works perfect!

Thanks for this gem of a video Russell. I will attempt this soon as I get through the others chores always awaiting attention. This was truly a great example of cause and effect. Remedied by a radical clean.

Thank you Russell!!! This was incredibly helpful and clearly explained! Your video was so easy and understandable and QUICK! Fixed my Dyson in just a few minutes - cheers!!!

Excellent step by step instructions, the best I've watched. Waiting now for the filter to dry...Thank you.

Excellent video for a tricky disassembly - the clear instructions made all the difference. I found that a no.8 Torx handled (75mm) driver did the trick on the deeply embedded fasteners. Nice one. Thank you Russell!

Hi Russell. Thank you so much for showing and explaining “everything” at a steady and easy pace. This will help me immensely. Thanks Again. Your a star.

Thanks for taking the time - the first thorough and complete maintenance video after looking A LOT! Brilliant.

Thanks!! This was very helpful- my dyson is up and running again!

Thank you so much. I never knew the top came off the filter I had been just rinsing it off. There was SO MUCH gunk inside and packed tight. I had to use a tool to get the stuff packed in a the bottom. Now it's like a new vacuum!

Thank you so much sir. Serviced my mums. She was about to buy a new one. Faith in the internet has been restored! All the best.

This tutorial was excellent. I gave our Dyson a deep clean. It almost looks brand new. Thanks mate.

Thank you so much for the detailed video! Got mine sorted thanks to you!

You are a Rock Star!🙌 Thank you so much for sharing! I gotta get me that screwdriver!!

I have a different model but these steps were almost word for word what I did. Great job, thank you!

THANKS !! Russell - thanks for the great demo video. My Dyson was getting a little slow - I'll bet this gets it all lined up after I get the security Torx drivers. Dyson should hire you to do these instructional videos - you are just the right guy for it.

Thank you Russell for the great advice!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely the best video for fixing and cleaning the Dyson! So easy to follow Russell, taking apart the Dyson, cleaning and putting it all back together again. Thank you Russell. Only by watching your video I have now been able to stop my Dyson from pulsating on and off. Not sure I would attempt the servicing myself though even though you made it look easy. 👍😀 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Exactly what i needed. My Dyson was pulsing like crazy. This fixed it all, like new. Thank you.

Thank you for a fantastic video. I have just completed a full clean of our Dyson and it's never worked better.

Thanks! You can’t take it apart any more than that! I stopped before I had to unscrew anything :) It works!

Thanks, this video saved me from having to take my vacuum in for someone else to repair. Very well done!

You just saved my v6! Didn't know the filter opens up, couldn't believe the amount of gunk in there. Thanks a lot!!

Superb video. Have followed it tonight with both my handhelds. Just the last step I couldn’t do as my screwdriver thing wasn’t long enough. You explain & demonstrate so well. Thank you so much 😊

Dyson needs a vacuum to clean their vacuums. I have the same drill. I’ll try this out

I wish you were my neighbor! Thanks for the tutorial, especially showing how to put it back together. I think my Dyson is clogged because it's acting up after I vacuumed up some drywall dust. Ironically, after I did that it expelled alot of the dust into the air, so I honestly don't think the filtration is great.

Wouah!! The perfect and unmatched video about cleaning a Dyson ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Can't thank you enough my vacuum has been doing this for long time. Looked up so many things on KZfaq and nothing worked till I found you and yesterday my husband took out the screen and it was unbelievably clogged and we cleaned the whole thing and it's working perfect, like new.

And I now have a new sweeper Thank You!!

Fantastic video. This is one of the best disassemble/reassemble videos I've seen. I could follow it exactly on my own Dyson. Brilliant - Thanks

This dude is the real deal. Great video. Got my Dyson working like new.

Thank you so much i have had my Dyson for almost 4 years. This video you created helped me clean it out thoroughly. Well done from NZ

A very good video! The disassembly and replace was very clearly done. We've had the V07 and I need to do this thorough cleaning! Best video I've watched on this Dyson machine

You sound so much like Ned Stark. I feel like I’m getting instructions from Winterfell.

Thanks a lot Russel ! You make my day !!! I was not able to put together the cyclone . Now, I have a brand new DYSON 6. Very clear !!!!

Thank you so much for this demo...and for showing off that amazing screwdriver!

Great instruction video. However it just demonstrate what a lousy design this product is. You need 2 university degrees to maintain it. I've given up using it.

Thanks Russell. I’m about to pull mine apart and follow your steps and hope that solves the problem, so thanks for the super clear tutorial, much appreciated.

Thank you ! I was at my wits end trying to figure this out!

Thanks a lot for puttin this together, it's exactly what I needed, straight to the point 👏 - I managed to deep clean my v6 :)

Wow, thank you so much. We have always checked the pipe, heads and main unit and we were having problems. I complained that popcorn kernels were too strong to be vacuumed up. Then I saw your video, wow. It was completely the filter. I cleaned it and almost could t move the vacuum over the carpet afterwards. Thank you so much - this was a game changer!

Many thanks from Paris! You saved mine!!! Thanks to YOU!!!!! Especially last part while I was wondering how to open the cyclone part!!!

Thank you so much for this video. Has truly brought my Dyson back to its former glory! Feels great knowing I’ve got a spanking clean vacuum.

THANK YOU sir!! Mine was pulsating but charging fine and Dyson wanted me to get a new battery. Going to take mine apart, since now I see a lot of dirt gets caught in parts we cannot generally access. You just saved me 80 Euros, plus helping with the maintenance of the other Dysons in the family!

Have this dyson and it wasn't working properly. Just before I put it in the bin I came across your video. Great job on the step by step instructions. Dyson working great now. Thank you.

I nearly bought a new one today. But just did half these tips and it works. Thank you so much. LEGEND 🎉

Super video, this literally avoided me having to buy a new Dyson and get my old one fixed, massive thanks !

Thank you for this, finally able to get rid of all the dirt trapped!

This is the best, most comprehensive video I've seen on this subject. Many, many thanks, Russel!

Thanks Russell sorted out a 5yo Vacuum which has just been used to clean a dusty house post decorating (plastering) and I mullered it completely. Thanks to your great video it's happily cleaning away again. Cheers Dan

I was almost going to buy a new vacuum cleaner! So much fine dust inside the top filter, cleaned it out and it’s back on full power and no more stuttering. I never knew you can access the inside of the filter, thanks so much!

This is fantastic, I learned so much - and I didn't strip any screws, since you pointed out what size they were. I have a couple dysons I got for free from people who'd clogged them horribly and already have one working good as new. :)

Awesome full demo of a DC59 teardown and reassembly Russell. I highly recommend this video!

Thank you so much for this! Best in-depth so easy to follow tutorial out there! 👏🏼 Well done! 🏆

Russell, thank you so much for taking the time to make and upload this video. It is so clear and precise.

First rate .... presentation was logical, brillantly sequential, and no nonsense .... Thank you for your time and insights ....

Thank you Russell!! You saved two sisters without a lot of experience fixing things from buying a new vacuum!

I’ll go ahead and get started on this. The issue your video described, the stopping etc. is exactly my issue. Thank you for this video

After stripping down and cleaning my v6 up to the cyclone assembly, I was not brave enough to tackle that without instructions. After watching your brilliant video, I'm now ready to dive in and strip it down to it's skeleton parts! Hopefully this will solve my problem, as after cleaning all the other parts, it still sucks up little more than the carpet fibres! I can't wait to come back and let you know just how well you solved it for me 🤞🤞🤞 (otherwise, it means taking out a mortgage for a new one!). I've had my v6 for at least 5 years, so if this is all it takes to renew it, then you deserve a gold medal, sir! 🥰 I'll be back...

Good job! Easily understood and very informative. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I just bought a used one of these at Goodwill for 20 bucks and it was doing that pulsing on/off cleaned the purple filter and it's working fine, I am going to give mine a good clean like you are doing so I appreciate you posting this tutorial video.

I love the fact you also showed how to put the head back togeth er. Really helpful and good video.

Thank you Russell. Your a born teacher!

Brilliant, thank you. I’ve never stripped mine down beyond taking the purple mesh bit off. Once I get that far I then whack the the rest of the housing a good few times to get the dirt out. This normally fixes the pulse problem.

Very helpful video makes cleaning easy and extends the life of the vacuum considerably!

fantastic, so clear to understand, first class mate. I was so excited to get my hands on my unit to clean it.

very detailed and clear explanation. great close up visuals. thanks for sharing.

Great stuff Russell. Serviced mine and it is now running like new.

Extremely through. I have a 5 year d6 and after watching this amount of work I'm telling my GF to get us a new one. :)

Thanks Russell; my Dyson was pulsing as well - turned out the battery was faulty so got a new one: but only worked that out by stripping it down and then trying to charge it with just the motor unit. When there's no cyclone attached, and you just have the motor body with battery, you know it's the battery that's at fault! Did the full deep clean and with the new battery it's working like new. Thanks again.

Dude, you're a wizard!!it worked! 😮I've Googled countless times and the fixes never did. If you lived in Nevada, I'd find you to give the biggest hug ever! Now, to find a video for "new" one I bought!

WOW! This is a great guide to converting your old Dyson, to practically new! Tear down and re-assembly was helpful. Cheers!

Brilliant, helped me fix my Dyson when I thought it was dead. 😃

many thanks ive taken my dyson apart loads of times but never knew you should take the filter apart cheers mate

YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!!! The cyclone thingy was so dirty and whenever we used it the thingy was smelled so bad!!! I thought it was the filter but that didn’t do anything to stop the smell when we cleaned it. Just cleaned the cyclone assembly and it’s already working so much better!!

my pulsing issue was fixed by the 3:28 step. thank you for this straight forward tutorial

Thank you so much, Russell, my husband and I really enjoyed watching this video and look forward to exploring our Dyson. It looks brand new, we have subscribed to see what other gems of knowledge you have shared Chel and Jeff

Great demonstration, thank you! I was able to clean out tons of dust from my vacuum.

Thank you for this. I have the DC7 and was able to do most of the steps of this video. I could not get the bit in the bin off the machine but used a tiny bottle brush to get out loads of fine dust.

EXCELLENT video Russell! Had that problem, called Dyson and they walked me through steps to fix this. The Agent walked me through several trouble shooting steps and in the end she couldn't solve the problem. So asked her what next-she told me she couldn't help further. Called back months later to discuss again and the agent listened to the scenario of the first call. So I asked what next. She said I could call back later and she would go through the trouble shooting steps with me. Needless to say I haven't called back. I will try using your video to remedy this.

Thank you for such an informative, step-by-step video!

You’re like the dad I never had. 😂 thank you! I’m gonna fix my vacuum in the morning.

Thank you for the help I could not have cleaned it so well. I could not get it apart until I saw this video about the white snap ring with the needle nose pliers.

Got my “broken” Dyson on marketplace for $60 thanks for this video what a huge help!!

This is one of the best 'How to..' videos I've ever seen on KZfaq (or anywhere else). Great stuff!

I enjoyed the video. Thanks to you, I disassembled it well, and I washed everything with water and dried it and assembled it. thank you.

Thank you so much for making this video. Behind the purple filter was just crammed with dust, which didn't seen right at all that it couldn't be cleaned out it's been driving me mad how to get in there. All sorted & drying now 👍 x

Your a legend... Decent video 👍 No rabbit like a lot of American tutorials. Straight to the point and nice and clear and easy to understand...champion
