Why does Dyson sell different product and accessories in neighboring countries

Hello. I'm currently residing in Indonesia. There's a product I wanted to buy but it seems like only available in SG. V12 detect slim absolute HEPA. I'm just wondering why some countries don't get a full line of product and also, accessories are very much limited. Thanks.

Detail cleaning kit (SKU: 972203-01) supply issues?

Since purchasing a gen5detect from Dyson Australia’s web site in July 2023, I’ve been keen to buy the Detail cleaning kit (SKU: 972203-01) to get the extension hose and the nice scratch-free dusting brush. I have revisited the site a number of times and it has always been out of stock - I’ve clicked on “Notify me”, of course, but have also contacted Dyson by Facebook Messenger to ask when they’re coming back into stock and the response has been to wait. On Friday this week (yesterday) I got an email saying that the Detail cleaning kit was back in stock! I opened the email a few hours after it was sent and clicked the link to go to the store … and it’s out of stock again! All sold out very quickly? What’s happening? Are there really serious issues with supply? What are other people doing? Should I try ordering from Dyson in another country? Or just give up and buy third-party accessories online? Plenty of those to choose from, at least…

recycling my dyson vacuum for £100 cash back.

I contacted support to find out if I need to return all the components of my old v11 vacuum. He told me that I just needed to return my machine. So my question is can I keep the wand tube and other parts?what exactly do I need to return. The machine could mean just the motor and battery unit as I understand it.

Dyson Gen5 to pick drill dust - Durability

Initial Impressions:After purchasing the Gen5 Detect, which is my first Dyson by the way, I was very pleased with how well it works from my initial tests. But, it gives me a sense that it's fragile, especially after a family relative told me that it can easily break with very fine particles. One example they gave was drill dust.Usage Context:I need to drill holes in walls 1-3 times a year, not for a full renovation, but for tasks like mounting the Dyson dock or hanging a couple of pictures or shelves. Additionally, I plan to use it occasionally for cleaning the interior of my car.Concerns and Questions:Is it okay to vacuum up the dust while drilling? Are there specific things that this vacuum can't handle? I don’t expect it to manage large chunks of rocks, glass, or liquids, but I would like it to perform similarly to the cheap corded vacuum I had before.

Pulsating vacuum v7 and no response from customer service

I have completed all of the troubleshooting steps to my v7 vacuum pulsating, and have been trying to get a hold of customer support via chat and phone and have not been connected to anyone via chat in over an hour, and the phone line is useless because it only gives me the option to send me a text with troubleshooting tips which I have already done then drops the call. This is a very expensive vacuum to be buying additional/replacement parts for it is not necessary which is why I am looking to speak to someone. This is ridiculous!

V10 animal motorhead not working

Hello, I have a V10 Cyclone Motorhead. Just after 2 years, the vacuum cleaner has stopped working, and when pressing the trigger it tries to start and then stop (known as boing sound due to the magnets). Similar experiences have been shared by: or I did all the cleaning, and saw a video online with exactly the same problem and a solution: It is upsetting that the product broke, just over 2 years after the purchase. As a previous research engineer at Dyson UK, I know the life tests carried out in NPD and I am sure customer care will be able to support. Cheers,Antonio

"New" Dyson V15?

I just bought a Dyson V15 today, April 21, from Costco. I came home and unboxed everything. Everything seemed new but when I plugged it in and turned it on to make sure it worked, the particle counter already showed quite high numbers. How is it new then? I feel scammed!

SV12 cordless vacuum dead, battery shows 3 solid blue lights

Hi folks, our own Dyson vac is behaving but my mother-in-law’s V10 / SV12 has died. No sound at all from it but the battery shows 3 blue lights when the trigger is pulled. Trigger feels normal. I’m not scared of disassembling it. Any suggestions as to what the fault might be, or how to diagnose it further? Cheers.

Dyson V11 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner power button doesn't work

I've had my Dyson for 3.5 years now and the power button stopped working. The trigger is not responsive. I checked with Dyson repair services and to fix the trigger they ask for $130. Dyson itself is so expensive (I bought mine for $500), they use defective parts and to top that to repair it is an additional $130... I know there are so many videos how to fix that but any tips and tricks would be great.

V7 Cordless brush bar - part number query

Hello,I have a Dyson V7 cordless and want to replace the brush bar for my direct drive cleaner, however I am encountering what seems to be the common issue of the 3-prong vs 4-prong.The motor that I have is a 3-prong one, and I can’t seem to find a replacement brush bar for it. I spoke with support however they only told me to buy a new Direct drive cleaner head, which is currently out of stock. Does anybody know if this part is a 3-prong one? https://www.dyson.co.uk/support/journey/spare-details.967157-02.344721-01

V8 Absolute power button problem

When I am holding down on the power button of my V8 absolute and vacuuming it will cut off then on. It acts as though the power button has a short in it or not making contact with the area in the button that makes it run. On the Absolute you have to hold down the power button with your finger for it to run.

V12 filter always needs cleaning even after new replacement....

I’m getting slightly frustrated we have a V12 about 2 yrs old. I recently replaced the filter as it kept telling me it needed to be cleaned. Even with a new filter it still tells me it needs to be cleaned. Is this a common issue with V12 after a certain amount of time so you have to buy a new one…

v10 animal no power

The vacuum cleaner was cutting out. We still tried to use it and caused damage.When we push the trigger button, only lights go on, no sound etc.Both website troubleshooting and call center agent recommended to replace main body and cyclone. (£105)I thought the problem might be about electronic part only (main body) and bought just that piece. (£49)it works now! Saved £56! Dyson should update the troubleshooting page or people should try replacing main body first before trying to replace whole cyclone and main body.

Faulty battery/charger

I just bought a new Dyson V15 Detect and I check it when it arrived, and it worked fine. Put back everything on the box. Few days later, when I was going to put it to charge, found that it stopped working. I am an electronics tech and it verified that charger was working correctly and verified the battery terminals. All good. Follow all Dyson instructions about resetting the system and nothing. Finished sending it back for a full refund. I will think again if I am going to buy again from Dyson.

Shelf life of V8 Absolute - Battery capacity

I bought our V8 Absolute in October 2017. It has poor run time and I can just replace the battery. However I don’t want to replace the battery and find that I need to replace the machine as they donlt last that long. It gets average use and is not mistreated or mishandled!

Product and Service disaster

I live in Cyprus and bought a Dyson V8 in the summer of 2022. One week after my purchase, it broke. I took it to my local provider and they fixed it within two weeks under the warranty. However, a year and a half later, it broke again. This time, the battery lasted only 30 seconds on high mode. The service technicians tried to convince me that it was normal, but it clearly wasn't. They agreed to "research" the issue, and later confirmed that there were indeed issues with the battery that needed replacement. That was one and a half months ago. I attached a photo as proof. Since then, I have received no calls from them. Yesterday, I called, and they promised to return my call but didn't. Today, I called again only to hear that they still don’t have the battery. It’s been a month and a half. Now, my only option is to share this story here and hope that Dyson will take notice. Wil you Dyson?
