Super helpful and appreciate all the models being included. Solved my V8 issue thanks to your video. I can return the Dyson back filter I ordered for $30 thinking it could be that… thanks to you saved $30, kicking myself for not finding your video sooner, would have saved myself the hassle of the filter return! Thanks for the informational video!

I watched a ton of videos. Nothing was helping the orange clogging light go away as it pulsated. Your video cured it. Thanks for explanations and taking the time to help random people fix their Dysons!

Spot on! Our V6 was pulsing and I just thought it was dying. A good cleanout and it's running good as new. Many thanks!

Thanks, I bought a new battery for my V6 pulsing, it did help but still pulsed on max lol My other V6 pulses too, I thought the filter looked clean but washed it anyway. The amount of dirt that came out, il surprised it didn’t block my sink! We need more YT channels like this, it saves us cash and frustration when things you don’t expect are explained clearly. 👍

A very useful video. Spot on! Our V7 was pulsing and I just thought it was dying. I followed your instructions and it's running good as new. Many thanks!

The best little vacuum I ever had! I have two cats and the amount of cat hair the Dyson picks is amazing I’m really amazed. The best investment I’ve done!!

I had an issue with my V10 and the instructions in this video helped. Thank you.

Thank you so much, fixed my V8! The very last thing you mentioned was the issue - there was some dust collected around the bottom seal of the container. Cleaned it and now works like new :)

My Dyson was doing just this, pulsing and not sucking and after cleaning the filter it was still not working so I had a hunt through KZfaq and came upon your channel - thank you so much for your clear instructions on how to remove the relevant parts, clean and them put them all back and I am most certainly not a DIYer! It didn't take long and I kept my fingers crossed as I started using the machine again - bingo, its like a new machine, I can't thank you enough. I've even ordered 2 new filters from your recommendations so I never have to wait 24 hours for the filter to dry. I feel so happy that I've managed to do this myself because I really thought the machine was finished!! I'll also be recommending your site to friends - if I can do it then anyone can. Top Man !!

OMG you have saved me hundreds if not more $! I was ready to buy a new traditional vacuum cleaner tomorrow because I've had MONTHS of my Dyson V8 pulsing and it's so blood frustrating. Although I didn't find any blockages, just taking it apart did the trick in that now it's just running and not pulsing! I probably do need to clean the filters and undo the floor accessories, but the weather is crappy and so I'll wait til the sun comes out and in the meantime order more so I don't have to wait to use it. Thank you so much, really awesome video.

Cleaning the filter fixed it for me. Thank you very much! ❤

I hadn’t thought of the seal (i’ve tried everything else!) - I hope it works!!! Thanks so much 😁

Thanks for your video on how to solve the pulsing. My Dyson now works perfectly again!

Thank you so much for this - literally just did that and so thankful it worked just like new. Super helpful and clear and to the point.

Thanks heaps!!! it turns out it the seal wasn't clean soon as we cleaned it all works perfectly .. you're a legend 😊

Very Helpful video. I have a V7 and a V8. The V7 has been having the pulsing problem for nearly 2 years. I always take the filter out and clean it and it works again without pulsing for 10 minutes then back to pulsing. The filter is always packed with dust. I typically tap it the sink and get lots of dry dust out. Every so often I also wash it. But the pulsing issue returns shortly thereafter. I finally took one extra step: I took the sealed cyclone unit off and washed it under running water through all the internal (invisible) paths both through the holes around the top and through the bottom. The amount of dirt that came out was incredible including big chunks of mud. Black water came out for at least 15 minutes and the water wasn't clear until I had washed it for at least 30 minutes. Apparently there was so much build-up inside the cyclones that they stopped working efficiently and the dust went straight through and into the filter causing it to clog very fast. After this "super-cleaning" it works like when it was new!

Excellent! Especially the end of the video regarding the bottom lid closure. Once I cleaned the bottom flap around the rubber seal it was working again. Thank you!!

It really solved the pulsing issue on my long slender cone after clearing the dirts on the sucking end! Thank you!

Thankyou young man. My dyson is working now, thanks to you. Washed the filter which hadn't been washed for 6 year. So so pleased. You deserve a medal.xxx

Just purchased a v8 and after a short go, we had this issue. Thanks to this video, I was able to find the blockage and clear it. Cheers!

My Dyson cordless vacuum was pulsating. I had never taken it apart before. All I had done was empty the canister. I didn’t even know the filters were removable! With your clear instructions I was able to clean it thoroughly and it has stopped pulsating! Thank you! You just saved me several hundred dollars that I would have spent on another Dyson! I love how light and maneuverable this little vacuum is! ❤️

Thank goodness you had this video. I borrowed my sisters vacuum, which she absolutely loves, and it starting pulsing! I panicked because there’s no way I could afford to replace or repair it. You saved me so much grief. Thank you so much.

It helped! Thankfully it’s a hot dry day and it’s now drying in a delicate bag on the line!

Hello and THANK YOU for saving me a lot of trouble and time. Well done video and very helpful information.

This video was so helpful! Didn't know how to get to the top of the tub on my v10 cyclone animal and once I saw how to pull down the bin to expose the opening I saw a lot of lint buildup stuck in there. Thank you!

I just love your voice! You have such a calm, sweet way of speaking 💙

I was able to clear the clog in my v10 due to this video, thanks much.

Thank you very much for the valuable information. I can tell you are a very detailed person when I saw at the end of the video you mentioned to make sure the bottom flap is closed properly after emptying the dust. This was exactly happened to me. You have to make sure you hear the click when you close it.

Thank you! This was perfect. Had my V6 for a few years... Found a lot of build up in the spinning head part at the bottom. All fixed 😀

I have a Dyson DC44 Animal cordless since 2013. I use it for steps, bathrooms and quick pickups. I make sure I empty after every use. It works fine. I also had a purple upright. Can’t remember model, that was a tank. It picked up and never a problem. Wife dropped it down stairs. She rarely vacuums and dropped it. Jeez. Thought I’d get a Shark Apex. It is a great machine with loads of attachments, but it never cleaned like my Dyson. Now I got a v15. It is amazing. It’s picking up pet hair that my Shark never could, and only in two passes. I love it. Learn your Dyson. Keep it clean and filter clean. It will serve you well.

Thank you!!! I really appreciate the thorough easy to understand instructions. I learned so much! I really appreciate the specific instructions for each model. For me I tried everything and nothing worked (but so happy to know all the ways to troubleshoot for future). Then I bought a new filter and it worked! Woo hoo 🎉. THANK YOU!!

Great video! It helped me to maintain my V15. Thanks a lot.

Great, thanks! I'll keep an eye out for that symptom, and will be sure to dry the filters before reassembling.

Thanks so much. We have a V10 Animal and a V11 Animal (and three animals! 🙂). This was super helpful, and the detailed videos for each model were also great.

Wow, thanks! I just got the V10 and on the second day started pulsing. I played around with it for awhile and then started watching KZfaq videos. I followed your instructions and found a small piece of tile along with some soft plastic completely blocking just above the vacuum head. Cleared it all out and my vacuum is working again. Learned far more from this video that from the instruction papers that came with the machine. Thank you so much!

I have a v8 and watched several videos on how to service the unit. This video was by far the best and easiest to follow! Mine was pulsating and I did everything to correct it-turns out mine needed the very last item mentioned in the video. So grateful!!!

Wow! Excellent presentation on that regular Dyson issue!

Luxusní vysavač, velká spokojenostv 👍👍👍

Thank you so much for this video - I had given up on my V8 with a pulsing problem and was distraught when the same thing happened with my replacement V10 - but was able to get both of them working again by following this advice!

Thanks so much for you time and help!!! I was about to sell mine and spend more money on another dyson. No need for anymore. Very helpful video!

Will get straight onto it. Thanks for a clear and constructive video 😊

Great video! Very informative and fixed the problem with our Dyson V8 which was pulsing with lesser and lesser suction than normal. The problem was a bunched up Home Depot receipt and accumulated dust and hair in the intake pipe; something you addressed in the video. We were ready to buy a new unit, but now it works like a charm. Thank you very much.

Thank you. My V10 is working better than it has for years. I didn't know about the extra drum release button that means you can clean it properly.

You are a natural. Thanks for tips.

This is a great video. I followed your instructions and was able to fix my issue with pulsing on my V7 model. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much we thought our old Dyson was ready for the bin but now it's like new ! It was pulsing and had lost its suck. So thanks again for saving us a lot of money, cheers 👍

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My Dyson had this problem so has been left plugged in, in the cupboard for I don’t know how long. Whilst I’ve cleaned it on several occasions, I’ve just followed your instructions and found a lot more fine dust which I’ve now been able to remove. It now works like a charm 😊

Thanks so much! I was able to fix the blockage problem, reassemble, and now my Dyson works great!

Just saved me a lot of money over the tiniest bit of fluff caught in the wrong place! Thank you 🙌🏼

Excellent video, very helpful. I think Dyson is an excellent product - we have two, one cordless and the other has a cord, both very powerful. I maintain them and they don't let us down. Thank you.

This helped! Still balking somewhat, will try recleaning the bin seal, thanks so much!

very good trouble shoots points to consider. I appreciate all your suggestions.

Thank you so much. Watching your video solved my problem and saved me ordering a new battery.

Great tip about buying a second filter. Thx.

Awesome video. Much better than their customer service. My son gave me one for Christmas. It was refurbished and had no serial Number. You were awesome!!! I could listen to you all day!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent. Well that's given me a few things to look at on my V10 but ultimately I either need to let the filter dry for a bit longer or buy a new one.

I could not get my Dyson work work for several days. After seeing his video and following his instructions, it worked! My problem was that there was dirt at the bottom of canister (in the gasket). He was right on the $$. THANK YOU!!

I have the Dyson V 11 animal, and this vacuum has changed my life. I don’t hate vacuuming anymore, I love the cordless and how well it picks up every single thing. Then it stopped sucking although I could hear it was running it was a second. Now I have cleaned it and I will see what happens. There was nothing blocking it but there was a lot of dirt where the bin hooks to the rest of the vacuum. I don’t know what your people are talking about when you say you hate it. This is a fantastic vacuum.

Thank you- that has helped a lot. Have ordered a spare filter. Wish I had never bought the beastly V10 in the first place though. Had to get a Hetty ad well- soooo much better!

Thank you, I really like my Dyson. I’m happy to learn I can take the canister off to clean it. I have tried cleaning thru the end, while cover is open.

Massive thanks for the video. There was an accumulation of hard particles lodged in the flap which was preventing correct operation. Cleared these & unit works as normal. Very helpful👏👏👏

Thank you - you saved me from ditching a perfectly fine Dyson -just had a clog in the floor attachment

Hell from France.Thank you very much. I've repaired my Dyson after watching your vidéo. Thanks to you.

Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful and informative on how to get my Dyson unclogged

Very useful and I did buy the additional filter for my V15 as you suggested.

Thanks! The fix was so easy when I found a blockage in the long pipe!

I find his voice and presentation very calming

Super helpful! Your first suggestion of the blockage in tube was my answer for the pulsating problem.. Thank you!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! 15 minutes before midnight here in Chicago and now I can finish vacuuming the dinning room with my v6 and go to bed. (Liked and Following) Have a great day.

Howdy from Texas! Ours had a blockage at the joint of the floor head. Thank you for the video!

Very helpful. My vacuum needed serious cleaning. Works like new now.

This was FANTASTIC! I had *thought* that I emptied it all, I had no idea that I was able to take the cannister off! Game changer. I didn't know about the flap - mine (in my V7) was stuck down with a mat of dirt. Once I managed to unstick it with my finger, some dishsoap, and a lot of time, it flapped back and it works again! Thank you!!!

Thank you. I'm an hour from the fix center, so very much appreciated!

I had vacuumed some wet dirt/dust and I had left a coating that partially blocked the intake-initially it appeared to be open for air flow-NOT! Thank you for your videos. We’re good to go -

Great Video! Clear, concise, and you get straight to the point! Many Thanks.

Thank you for all of your advise. I had tried everything including buying a new battery and filters and it turned out the floor suction area was clogged and I had not seen it. I appreciate this tutorial

Omg thanks 🙏 I was going crazy and cleaned the filter twice but it was a section that had a whole heap of lint stuck and now it’s working again.

Yay yay yay! A good thorough cleaning solved this problem (honestly I had NEVER cleaned my filters in over 4 years - YIKES!) Many thanks!!

Thanks very much for the information. I had taken my V7 apart and cleaned everything but not the filter. I had a couple of spare filters to hand a dropped one in. Worked a treat and the vacuum is much quieter now as well.

Great video, I look forward to use the knowledge from this video to solve the problem of my Dyson.

Thank you so much for all the info. I have brought 2 different batteries to solve the pulsing issue thinking it was my battery. Turns out it was just a clog where the flap is flipped over. Thank you for saving mire time & stress you are my hero

Thanks a lot… love you man… my dyson got a new life..

Thank you for this video! Helped me looked the Superman I am fixing everything.

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you

Great simple and helpful! Thank you! Informative

What a brilliant video. Thank you so much. Very valuable.

Thanks for that. Thought I was gonna need a new filter. Sorted within minutes thanks to your clear briefing.

You are brilliant! I went through numerous videos trying to figure out why my Dyson v8 was pulsing and stopping. Did everything that you and others suggested. Cleaned filters and put back on in 24 hours after dry. Pulled vacuum apart and cleaned every nook and cranny. Still no luck. So per your suggestion I ordered new replacement filters. Coming in 2 days. But just at the end of your video you mentioned the problem could be the the seal of the cannister door flap. I cleaned the rubber gasket even more. Plus I realized that sometimes when I slap the door closed, it is not perfectly flat and sealed to the cannister. Just off the tiniest bit. So when I closed the door more carefully.... guess what? No more pulsing or stopping. That little detail that you mentioned solved my problem. Thank you so much!!!!!

This video is really useful and I will take more care of the cleaning of my Dyson v10 animal. With four cat's it is used a lot.

Thank you for posting a useful video, helped me solve the issue with my handheld!

You’re amazing. It worked. Have the older model you showed. Thanks so much

Thank you for your help. I loved the way you showed us how to take my Dyson v7 apart. Great demonstration video.

OMG you made it so easy!!!!! thank goodness I found this video! Problem solved no more pulsing. (water bottle cap was stuck in my wand) but i learned how to take it all apart and cleaned my flap, it needed it.

Watching this with my fingers crossed. We’ve come to rely on this tool for short bursts of use throughout the day to tame cat hair etc. I’ve taken it apart piece by piece and cleaned it thoroughly (no blockages etc). I’m not financially in a position to replace it so I am so hopeful that there is a handy remedy. 🤞

You fixed my vacuum! I was about to buy a new one!!!!! Thanks! :)

I’ve had the V11 for several years and I love it. I have never over filled the canister and have never had this air flow problem.

legend, great video, all clean now waiting for it to dry and get wife back to work !

Thank you for such an informative video. I was having issues with my V7 after I had washed my filters. Turns out there was a blockage and removing the bin and clearing the dirt sorted it all out.

Thank you so much of the info, I thought I was going to have to replace my Dyson but instead found a bread tag was stuck in the little flap. I removed it and its running as good as new.

Great info. I cleaned my Dyson just like you did. Got rid of all those "dribs and drabs!" Thanks
