I love how polite and kind this man is but also love that he wears a buttoned dress shirt the entire time to clean out a dirty vacuum cleaner. Just something about that makes me smile

When you clean your vacuum cleaner, you become the vacuum cleaner. Thanks for the tips by the way!

I can’t thank you enough for this video. The hair and dust accumulation at the top of the bin was driving me crazy. No amount of shaking would dislodge it. Being able to completely remove the bin is great, even if I don’t wash it, just wipe it out. Now, if Dyson would just change the trigger method of turning on the machine so I don’t accidentally turn it on and don’t have to hold the trigger while vacuuming…

When screwing a metal screw into plastic screw hole, carefully and gently go counter-clockwise until you feeling a little bump to find where the thread starts in the plastic screw hole, then turn clockwise to be sure the metal threads find the plastic threads correctly. If you put in the meal screw and just start screwing the screw into the hole to tighten, you may ruin the plastic threads and mess it up.

Incredible video. I’ve owned my Dyson 11 Torque for about two years and never cleaned it this thoroughly. I appreciate you putting out this video. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I had a large plastic object trapped in the upper half of the dust bin. Came here to find out how to remove the bin and ended up giving my V11 a clean up. Thanks again for informative video.

Revisited this very informative video after having our V11 nearly 2 years. The beginning reminded me that I had not cleaned the brush head for a long time. The far end of the head on mine (that you can see with the brush roller removed), had a groove full of compacted fluff, which I removed with tweezers and a cable tie shaped to push the back of it to the front of the groove, to remove the rest of it with the tweezers. This groove seems to be a dust/fluff trap!

Thanks for this clear instruction on how to clean. I kept getting a filter/obstruction fault and followed Dyson instruction to no avail. After following your video I now have a fully functional cleaner. Many thanks.

Brilliant video, thank you! Didn’t realise how easy it is to clean the filter, many thanks.

This is the best dyson v11 cleaning video, my v11 is making a loud squeaking noise coming from inside the machine i think its a choclate wrapper stuck inside somewhere i was going to open it since youve made excellent detailed video but my dad reminded me it has a warranty so i wont void it 😂 i searched all over the internet ur video is the best mate keep it up

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was apprehensive taking apart my V11 and whilst I didn’t take it fully to pieces with screwdrivers, I did rather confidently give it a good clean. Thank you.

Watching vaccum videos on youtube This my life now 😆🤣😂

Thank you so much! This helps a lot! My first time to get a Dyson, and I believe proper maintenance and use is the key to keeping the machine in tip-top shape for longer.

Thank you so much. I never would have figured out that key part of removing the bin (10 mins into video) for getting my hair out it!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to put together this video. Just got my Dyson today, and the manual was not helpful at all. I was panicking when I saw all the dust stuck to the canister after emptying. Luckily, I found your video. Now I know it can be removed and cleaned properly.

Thank you so much for this video! I love my dyson V11 and know I need to keep it clean, but every time I begin to take it apart, even the provided directions on the outer case become confusing. Your video was very detailed and gave me the confidence to take the vac apart and put it back together again. Thanx for your help; you're GREAT!

Thanks for this. My filter thing was flashing and so I searched how to do this, good vid.

Thank You. I’ve now managed to actually give my vacuum a proper clean. I used a dry, old, toothbrush to get to the really fiddly parts. I was nervous, as this was a £600 vacuum. But thanks to you, it now has a better chance to last longer.

Nice video, Ive had my v11 for quite a few years and never realised some of these parts you cleaned were so easily accessible. Thanks very much.

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="555">9:15</a> this is exactly what I did when I bought this. excellent idea. I had to order direct from Dyson so as to make sure the part was genuine.

Thanks for the video. It certainly added to my knowledge of the V11. I usually use a leaf blower and blow out the whole unit. It’s very messy and you need an open area but it saves waiting for filters to dry and seems to do a good job of cleaning the unit. I will add your method to my cleaning routine. Thanks

Thanks from Texas. I was unsure how to remove the canister without damaging it. Very helpful!

So very informative. You were so precise about all aspects of cleaning my V11 Absolute. I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner. Dyson should include your site for all new sales. Thank you so much.

This was one of the most pleasant how to videos I ever watched! Outstanding job.

Thank you very much. Your video helped a lot figuring out how to open all the different parts without breaking them.

Great video. Clear and concise instructions. I can't believe people actually complained about the dust left on the paper while you were working! On second thoughts maybe I can.

Thank you SO much for this video! So clear and thorough and it made my vacuum work so much better. You did an amazing job and made my life so much easier. :)

Thanks, I’ve been wondering how to break it down for cleaning. Well done.

Cleaning videos for stuff (cars, motorcycles, vacuums etc.) thats already clean are really annoying. With that said this one was still helpful since it showed how to take stuff apart and helped me clean my vacuum. Thanks.

Loved the way you explained it step by step. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Thank you so much for this video!! Extremely helpful and straight to the point!

Great video!! Thank you for sharing. The construction crew we had here for 6 weeks used my Dyson to clean up some of the drywall dust. I wasn't thrilled. I'll need to take the whole thing apart. Very fine powder-like dust caking the whole thing.

Really nice tutorial. All things explained calm and shown. Nice work!

Thanks for sharing all these details. Appreciate the effort

Before I found this video I took off the front metal screen section and just used high-powered compressed air to blow out all of the built-up dust and debris inside. It made quite a mess out in the driveway but afterwards the vacuum was quite clean inside! Next time I need to clean it I'll know I can take off the cyclone chamber and how to do so so I can properly clean it in warm water! Thanks for the video!!

Thank you! Awesome job! Mine’s new from last month so I won’t do all that you did, but perhaps in the future! Dyson did send me really good well done videos on how to clean however, unable to find them now! Thank you!

Good job, my man. Very detailed. I see there’s no place dirt can’t find to hide. No cleaning instructions came with mine. Thx for posting.

Thank you so very much! I have been searching for a video to properly get into the motorhead for two days and a friend came upon your video and sent it to me. I have a clog that apparently I cannot find and so my Dyson just keeps pulsating. Since this isn’t covered by Dyson I had to get it figured out. Your video is excellent and I really appreciate it!

great explanation of how to open and clean the 'inner' parts of the V11

Wonderful. Thanks a lot !!... You seem to be nervous but you don't have to, you are really good and your video is as clean as your Dyson 👍👏

This is really helpful, thank you so much!

This was such a good informative video thank you very much

I just want to say thank you so much for this video, you make my life easier.

Thanks a lot for your clear explanation of this perfect tool I have just bought it recently and I learned now how I maintain it

Brilliant video first time I’ve cleaned my Dyson since I bought it - thank you 🙏

Best video ever thank you so much I took so much dirt out my vacuum thank you for sharing with us this amazing videos

This was a great video. Thank you for not telling your life story during the introduction like every other vid.

Looking at the name of the poster and after seeing this amazing video I concluded that he must be the Lord of the ring of Vacuum cleaners :-D. I could not even open the canister without this video. I will not be doing much of deep cleaning for quite a while.

So appreciate your step-by-step instructional video. I’ve avoided the cleaning task but now that I’ve seen your video, I will have more confidence…. Many thanks…and much aloha from Hawaii…

Such a thorough explanation of how to clean each part. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

THANK YOU. Perfect. I mean... really thank you. Saved a lot of time.

Awesome video, I didn't know the bin could come off and was going to use long screwdrivers to try and clean a blockage, this video has actually made me like the Hoover even more, knowing how easy it is to strip down makes it a much better product for me, I thought cleaning would be a nightmare with how compact everything is, but it's much easier knowing how to remove parts to gain access to others 👍😀

Thank you. This was more than I needed, but it served me damn well

Thank-you worked so well with your clear and patient instructions

Loved watching and listening. You are so calm. I'll probably have video running while I'm working on this. Every time is an adventure. Amazing calm and patients you have!!

it's funny how the market around world functions. So in Croatia, in our field you get Dyson's from V10 to V12 with removable battery. You don't have to unscrew it, it is manufactured like that to be easily removed. And then, I have my family who lives in Germany and their market is the same as yours : No removable battery. But it's a lovely thing to know that evrything is different in the world.

Thank you so so much! I always come back to this video when I need to clean my Dyson. So informative :)

Good video but 2 things: 1) before taking the vacuum mechanical parts apart, always remove the power source (the battery) until the work is done to reduce your chance of getting shocked. 2) cleaning it this thoroughly would also void the warranty, but If you’ve had it longer than the warranty covers then go ahead I just ordered the v11 and I will save this video for when it’s time to deep clean, thanks!

So helpful, despite not having a correct screwdriver ! Well demonstrated …

Thank you so much for a great tutorial. My vac is clean and back together. Wouldn’t have happened without you!

Thanks for the video, it is one of the best explanatory video I have ever seen.

Thank you for showing this video which is very very useful for first timer (like me) to clean dyson vaccum cleaner.

Great video, very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks.

Thanks! It seems like cleaning procedures for V12 model is quite similar. Very useful video.

Hell of good tip video, thx for this lad really appreciate it

thanks for informative video, want to keep my Dyson working great!

Thank you so much. This video helped out a lot

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1577">26:17</a> first let me say thank you for being nice and slow on explanations, second although I love my Dyson after watching this i miss my V8 and V6 because it had a lot less screws and much simpler to clean, also because these are not normal screws and you have to get these torque/butterfly (what I call these😊) screws. Yes this is my third Dyson broom, and also have the canister that was the first purchase about 20 yrs ago and still working which now days only used for bigger jobs. Wondering why on my third? I’ve had 3 dogs at all times for last 25 yrs. So that should explain it😅. The V6 lasted exactly 5 yrs. Just as the warranty expired, the V8 not as long, when the battery went out I just replaced, the motor went out, I replaced it myself, then it gave out in abt. A month later ordered a new one and didn’t work, called Dyson in the area and was told it would be about 99.00 to look at it, 😮seriously. So I said screw it for another 200 I got it at Costco , I asked for the V11 for Christmas from my husband, I know a vacuum, yes I did. I bought all the other stuff I wanted myself it just felt better that way,😂. So all in all I love My Dysons of course I wish they were a little less expensive, however still not happy about all the screws on this one as with 3 dogs I have to clean more often. Do not tell me to get rid of my dogs, not happening for those of you ready to comment on that😅. I’m not lazy just very impatient. Happy cleaning to all.

Fabulous, thank you! I learned a lot 😊

The brush-heads (the rolling cylinder) you can take out and clean in water with soap! It even says so in the instructional manual! For the wastebucket: It says to clean it with water. For the vacumpistol: On the side you have a «big hole» thats the hole that dumps your dirt in the wastebucket. You can clean with holding it under your tap while pointing it downwards. You can even clean the metal mashing with holding it under the tap. Otherwise good video if you want to go full vacum mechanic as this guy 👍

Thanks for the informative video... appreciated!

Thank you got mine cleaned with your explicit, clear and well understood explanation 👌🏾

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! IT JUST HELP ME TO FIXED THE SUCTION PROBLEM. LOVE YOUR SHIRTS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH...

great video easy to follow instructions. One clean Dyson!!

Just the information I needed. Thanks.

Excellent video. Very knowledgeable and descriptive. Pleasant voice and easy to understand. Well done. Thanks. Love this vacuum.

Great information. Thank you!!

Love this vacuum. I vacuum more, not sure why, maybe seeing the dirt in the canister is motivation. Thanks for the great video, tips were great. I cleaned my vacuum in the kitchen, so what. I can clean up after myself, after all people also clean up after preparing chicken and other foods that necessitate a good cleaning.

Hi pal - the dyson vid states cleaning filter with cold water . Great vid👍

Thank you so much for this great video . It helped me a lot

This was wonderful! I didn't unscrew anything but I got my vacuum nice and clean for the most part. I keep getting an error message saying there's a clog and the filter needs to be checked. Everything is drying now and I'm excited if it works like it did before! THANK YOU.

Thank you for all your tips, very useful.

Great video. Helps when you are cleaning your machine.

I wash my used Swiffer cloths and use them to clean the Dyson. Works really well and doesn't put dust in the air I wipe down all the parts this way.

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for

Great video. I just scored a second hand V11 and this really helped me give it a thorough refresh

thank you so much, very good instructions. really appreciate how meticulous you are

Great video! Thank you very much for this video! Very helpful!

I love how he is emptying out the dust indoors. After you are done with the clean up, you are going to vacuum this countertop, only to suck in all the dust back into the bin!

Excellent ! wish I had of found this video before I attempted to clean mine !!

My plastic bin came flying off and needed to learn how to put it back on lol thank you

So polite and well spoken. Thank you so much

My screws are semi-stripped. The canned air idea worked great! I ended up with a face full of dust - haha.

This was very helpful thank you 😊

Very helpful in many respects...great presentation... What a nice man .....

Gosh all cleaning videos should be this pleasant Thanks

Oh my goodness people have nothing better to do then comment on where your cleaning the vacuum? Love your video so helpful thank you

So helpful! Thank you!

Thanks so much, just fixed my vacuum with this guide 🙂
