Thank you for this educational video. I'm glad Dyson had the forethought to make the assembly serviceable. It would be far cheaper for them to just glue it all together. I love our Dyson vacuum.

Thank you for this video, I had no idea I could do this. My dyson is 6 years old, so out of warranty. I had no qualms about pulling it apart. It was very easy. I even did it with my toddler "helping". It didn't look as bad as this vacuum but it was gunky and was definitely the source of the funky pet store smell! Also, for the naysayers here... I clean my cannister regularly and it does still get gross.

Thank you i didnt know where to put one of the gaskets this man is a life saver

thank you for taking the time out. This is why I love KZfaq.

Excellent video. Thank you so much for taking the time to post

Works! I dissambled it and cleaned only with brushes and a damp cloth. That was enough to kill the smell.

If worse comes to worse and the smell does not come out, disassemble everything. Separate the gaskets screws from the plastic components. Fill a 5 gallon plastic pail close to full of cold water. Add some vinegar to the water solution. Immerse the plastic parts in the solution and let sit submersed in the water for at least a week. Remove it from the solution. Fan dry the components in a garage on the rack making sure its fresh air, and the smell should be gone

Thanks for showing this. It is exactly what I was looking for as I just purchased the same machine and only used it six times. I cleaned it after each use and never came close to filling the canister to the max line. I noticed a lot of dust was able to be tapped out of the machine and wondered just how much more was in there. This clearly shows what is getting past those fine metal screens as they get clogged very quickly when using the machine. This does not make me feel very confident in Dyson's design. Fist of all it's made of plastic. Any air rushing over plastic will create static electricity to which dust will stick. What bothers me is just how much gets by the filter screens! I believe that taking this apart after several uses to clean will eventually end up in something breaking or getting damaged to end up in costly repairs. I will never buy another Dyson or any plastic bagless vacuum again.

Very complete, thank you very much. No more airing the house out after vacuuming!

Thank you for this video! I took the thing apart and couldn't for the life of me remember how the seals went back on 😂 you saved me some trial and error!

Did this to a "refurbished, like new" upright from Dyson eBay. Totally removed the smell!

Great Video, the reason why they get into this state is when water is taken by the machine. 👍🏾

Hope this can help someone: clean them with water before total disassembly first. I have the corded uprights. I take the filters out of them (I have had 3 different models over 16 years (1 new and others thrift shopping) and the filter placement on them differs). Anyway, remove the filters-(look at a diagram if you have to and then double check again) and then take the clear bin off (there is a lever on most all of them to take the bin off once it has been emptied and left open). Next, take it on the porch and hose it out or take it in the shower, invert it and basically fill it with water and swish it around. Empty the water out and do it 2-3 more times until the water runs out clean. Works great for me (even with sheetrock dust). I have never had one smell after doing this occasionally once or twice a year. It will bring out all that gunk you see in the video without disassembling it entirely. I leave it out to dry in the sun if its a nice day or near the heat in some way to let it dry and periodically shake and rotate it to make sure there are no errant water drops collecting because of the way I have it positioned while it dries. The only time I had an issue is when I didn't realize there was a filter in the 14 on the top of the unit instead of on the bottom like my other one. Once it dried, it smelled horrible-i removed it immediately once I realized what I did and tried everything I could think of to get the smell out. No luck, I did have to get a new filter in that case, but that fixed the smell and I never made that mistake again!!! My 10 year old animal 07 fell over a few years ago and broke the main upright piece that holds the hose, while the vac shop was waiting for the parts to come in, they disassembled it and were amazed at how clean it was inside, so I took that to mean it was a good maintenance routine). I would be interested to see if 850Red would try that for a period of time and disassemble it to see how well it did with his canister. The cordless ones are a different story b/c the motor is hooked to the top, and I am assuming you cannot invert them without getting the motor wet...too chicken to try it with my in laws cleaner b/c I don't want to be buying them a new one-LOL. I still wash them by turning them on their side and making sure the water runs out the bottom away from the motor and that has been fine so far..

Thank you for the time great video it's a bad filter location finally clean and smells good now

I took apart the canister too and I would have liked to see where the parts go. I was afraid some pieces migh be left out. Thank you anyway for this video! I had no clue this can be taken apart so much.

thanks. this video made cleaning my vacuum easy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> And of course open the canister outside your home. I use water pressure ,leave sunken in water with a drops of clorox (for bacterias) for about, leave in the sun all the rest of the day, need to be completely dry before assembly.

Thanks for posting the video it really helped me. 😀👍🏼

Maybe I’ll buy a second vacuum, to vacuum my first vacuum….

Great job - thanks for the details.

I did it after watching this! Thank you!

Thank you sooo much for that video 😃 it is very helpful ! 🙌

Thanks for the video i want to buy one of this but wanted to make sure that its serviceable i love the cyclone technology i own the dust deputy use at work with my ridged shop vacuum I hate cleaning filters

Thank you, my dear Friend! Thanks to you, I cleaned my monster!

Thanks a lot. Had to do it because someone vacuum dog vomit! Again thank you !!

Looks like to much work for such an expensive vacuum, thanks for the video

Thank you for the Video Help me a Lot

Thank you that was really helpful!

The best video ever keep it up don’t worry for the idiots talking bad

Okay, I gave that whole compartment, a good Almighty clean

If you checked the rubber gaskets that they are still good and you need to push Everything in place the rubber gaskets are still good. it will not lose ( much ) suction. But it's always better to replace them. Bu

Thank you

I did everything the same way you did. But when I have build all together the right way and brought it back in starting the power there is a sound like air is coming from somewhere and it’s sounds like whistling. What could be the reason for that.

Thank you so much

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1120">18:40</a> It's strange that there isn't any gasket between the top part and the filter part.

Love those snap on ratchet screw drivers

senden allah razı olsun kral.

I use to love dyson but now after Shark nope. Shrak can just take the bin off wash it all dry it put back on. Least they make one that you can clean. All that dust builds up and at some point make it stop working way ot should. Dyson biggest down fall is not making it so you can clean it .

Cheers for that

Does this work on the V7 as well?

Hi, What model number is your vacuum? Thanks

I wonder if there is a rubber gasket there?

Нужно обязательно просушить все части, а только потом делать сборку пылесоса! Нельзя мокрый пылесос собирать, иначе капли превратятся в глину, когда вы начнёте пылесосить. Поверьте моему опыту!

I need help with my DC22

Does the dyson contain any rubber gaskets?

You never blow out this vacuum cyclone system with compressed air?

It’s like a jigsaw puzzle 😲

This is a bit much to go through for cleaning your vacuum so maybe consider a different type of canister vacuum that doesn't need as much effort to take apart but I do believe that all canister vacuums need to be cleaned regularly. No bag doesn't mean they don't need cleaning.

Is this is the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Pro 2 model?

Hi there! I cleaned it according to your video. But after I put it back together, it’s making a very high pitched honking sound!! What’s going on?!

I have done this as shown , my hoover is now whistling ..any ideas ?

This is an excellent video. I got that you have to be careful about the inside gasket. You really didn’t need to say that 4 times for people to get that.

Bad engineering, that is answer. They should work more on 'bad smell' from their vacuums.

Thx for thia video. I will never ever buy these "no need to clean " machines..

Nice video. But I think that if I did this, after re-assembly I would have many spare parts and it would never work again and I would have to buy a new Dyson afterwards. AND I would be killed by the wife.

👍👍👍👍💝💝💝

Oi! I'll just get a new vaccuum. :/

The infamous Dyson Cinetic system of my vacuum got completely clogged in just three times of use and as I've been researching this issue is common on this Brand. Trying to fix it is totally impractical because as you see in this video its design does not allow to disassemble the unit at all. It is a better idea not to buy this item and if you already did it return it before use.

why would anybody buy this vacuum cleaner if it needs this kind of work done on it?

you have broken the last part -.- there are morre screws....the filter bottle and last blackt part ins "ONE THING" <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="770">12:50</a>!!!!!!

You should be able to get it cleaned with water easily after each use not after a year!!!. Its just too complicated for the people to that and it takes too much time. Rubbish. Just bought not animal one to find out that round mesh screen is not washable at all which means it will smell

That even makes it lose suction

dyson is a terrible design. I have had so many issues with mine and it never worked well. I wish I could have saved my self wasting $900 plus Aud. I could have used that money on a Sebo or miele and had a well made high performing vacuum instead of a big lump of grey plastic!

I don't bother with this ,Just put the whole canister into a sink of laundry detergent and warm water for about two hours flush and then put the whole canister back into a full sink of water with some vinegar and then I blow dry with a Leaf blower and then in the hot water cupboard to dry for a couple of days and that's It like new again.

Shit I missed the gasket

I would not recommend dismantling the cyclone unless for experimental purposes. As you open up and close the cyclone after, you might not have done it properly so the air will leak and suction will drop. Workers at Dyson factory are trained to do this but not for laymen. This cyclone should not be caked in dust like this. The bin's gotta be emptied after every use and should never pass the MAX line. Improper care??

Dyson is to spend $3.67 billion on "new technologies" they might want to spend some on their old technologies first.

Don't do it it's a scam

I'll never buy this piece of shit
