V10 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - Filter light still showing

I have a V10 stick vac which keeps showing filter light. I have replaced filter with additional clean filter while the other dries after washing. Still the filter light remains on. I have checked for blockage and ensured filter is properly attached. What could be the issue? (Edited by moderator – Moved to new Topic, Tags added)

Purchasing Advice - V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) vs V15 Detect Extra

Hi everyone. Wondering if the community can help me out here please?I am looking to upgrade my current cordless dyson to a V15 and for the price, really wanting to get the best machine. I know with care these machines do the job well and can last many years (I have a V6!). I am wondering if I am missing a key machine feature when compairing the V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) with the V15 Detect Extra? Both are on the Dyson website and exclusive to Dyson direct. As far as I can see, I think both have the upgraded HEPA filter to 0.1 micron, both have the built in tool, same motor, same bin size, suction the same and cleaner heads seem to be the same and its just accessories that are different? Price for both is £659.99. I am looking for best performace, so colours don’t matter. Can a pro help a rookie out? - Thanks in advance.  (Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Title Updated)

V8 red light specifically flashes 4 times

What is the problem if the red light flashes 4 times only, not 12. I’ve looked it up & only one place I’ve found specifically states it will be a problem with the motor, not the battery. (As it would flash 12 times if it’s the battery) Every where else, including Dyson customer services just say, ‘if a red light flashes, it’ll be the battery.’It’s been working fine for 4 years. I’ve had no reduced power over recent use. Yesterday went to use it & no power, the power light just flashes red 4 times when triger pulled or put back on docking station.Any help would be much appreciatedChris(Moderation Edit - Tags Added)

Cordless V11 - Clear bin ejector sticking or broken - Help!

I have a V11 cordless vacuum and all of a sudden, the ejection mechanism (red lever and internal stick that pushes lid) is sticking and not opening the bin.  I now have to pry the lid open.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Nothing looks cracked or broken and it closes fine. Would rather try to fix than buy a new bin (plus they’re out of stock) (Edited by moderator – Tags added & Title amended)

What is the "latest technology" difference between the V15 Detect Absolute and the V15 Detect+ "first generation"

The V15 Detect+ “first-generation” says “Save $50 on first generation Dyson V15 Detect+ compared to latest technology.”The features between this and the V15 Detect Absolute seem to be the same. What technology has changed? V15 Detect+ “first-generation”https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-plus/goldV15 Detect Absolutehttps://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect/absolute-gold

Cordless V10 Absolute - Power cutting in/out - Any ideas?

Dyson V10 Absolute cutting out after approx 10 secs, the machine stops then can re pull the trigger,it starts and then stops again after approx 10 secs again, the bin has been cleaned out and the filter has been cleaned even though there are no filter or blockage lights on, there are 3 blue lights on indicating full charge. I have been on the troubleshooting guide as recommended which is going to order me a replacement battery, I don’t think this is the issue but will see when it arrives. Anyone out there have any ideas. (Moderation Edit - Tags Added)

V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) vs V15 Detect Extra - Purchasing Advice

Hi There, I am looking to purchase my first cordless Dyson vacuum and I do not know which from the V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) or the V15 Detect Extra I should purchase. I want to make the right choice considering the expensive cost of these vacuums. I just want to get the best machine. Both look very similar in terms of technology, features and price and so I am wondering if I am missing a key feature when comparing the V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) with the V15 Detect Extra? They are both Dyson website exclusives to Dyson direct; both have the upgraded HEPA filter to 0.1 micron, the built in tool, same motor, same bin size, same suction, same cleaner heads and relatively same price; just the accessories seem different as the V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold) seems to have 10 accessories and the V15 Detect Extra has 8 albeit different accessories? The colours do not matter to me because I am looking for best machine in terms of performance. Thanks in advance for your professional advice. V

Dyson v15 different models vs price - Is there a difference?

Is there a difference, except for the colour, between Dyson V15 Detect Absolute Yellow/Nickel and Dyson V15 Absolute Detect??  I’m asking because they have a remarkable difference in the price here in Greece.

Dyson V7 - Shuts off after 5 seconds in MAX mode

My Dyson V7 Animal shuts off after running for just 5 seconds in MAX mode.  If I run it in STANDARD mode it will run perfectly fine for about 20 min.  As soon as I switch to MAX it cuts off after 5 seconds.  It does not pulse, it stops completely.I’ve replaced the battery, the charger and both filters, and I have done a complete teardown cleaning. What else could be causing this issue?

Is there a way to get the V15 to run without having to hold the trigger?

Hello, I purchased the V-15 because I had read somewhere that it was the only model which ran without having to hold the trigger the entire time your cleaning your house. Upon receiving my unit, I realized I do in fact need to hold the trigger the entire time and haven't found a way to clean without a constant trigger press. Am I missing something?

My Cordless is cutting out (Not Pulsing) - What can I do?

My v7 is fully charged. After about 5 seconds it stops, I plug it back it and it indicates it is fully charged and it will go again. This happens 3 to 4 times and then finally works fine until the charge is gone.It’s not pulsing just stopping this happens on boost as well as normal. Very annoying.  (Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Title Updated)

Is there an Adapter for sealing vacuum bags?

We recently bought the latest Dyson (V15 detect). Yesterday we had to bag up a double duvet (after Christmas visitors etc) in a vacuum seal bag and discovered there none of the attachments that came with it were any use to sucking the air out of the vacuum bag.  We tried using just the hand held bit (the only thing that seemed to work), but on several occasions we got an error message saying something like blocking airways (not quite sure exact message now) so we stopped and were afraid to continue in case we damaged the machine.Is there an adapter/hose we can buy and or another way we can use the Dyson to suck the air out of vacuum bags? (Edited by Moderator - Tags added/Moved Category)

V7 intermittently only runs for 5-10 seconds

My V7 purchased September 2020 has an issue where it regularly (maybe every third use) cuts out after 5-10 seconds. It does this on both low and max. There is no pulsating, it just cuts out. I don’t believe it to be a battery issue. I discovered a way to get it working, and once I’ve done that it will run for the full time even on max so it can’t be battery related? It clearly still has capacity.I did a full clean down so the filters are all completely cleaned. I rinsed out the filter and then left it to dry on the radiator for 3 days.The only way I can get it working is: put it back on charge, turn the charger off and on again, then hold the trigger while it’s docked for 20 seconds. Once 20 seconds is up I release the trigger and use the Dyson as normal and it runs fine.What could be causing this cut out and what is it about holding the trigger that clears the issue?  (Moderation Edit - Tags Added)

Cordless V10 clogging - Help

I always have problems with my V10 blocking as shown in the photo. I have a spare filter and regularly clean the machine. This blocks like in the photo every couple of uses and I end up having to blow the dust ect back through the machine to clear which is unhygienic. Dyson support online is non-existent with 24hr replies which tell me to use the troubleshoot guides which don’t cover this problem. Please help! (Moderation Edit - Moved Category, Updated Tags)
