Difference between 966981-01 and 949852-05 | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

I am looking for a new motorhead for my V6. Dyson’s website displays 2 possible motorheads: models 966981-01 and 949852-05. They look identical in the pictures. I tried calling customer service and got a recorded message saying no one can speak to me. For the record it is 4.40pm on Monday 7 August 2023. 


Would anyone know what the difference is between the two motorhead models?

Hello @Yogi1 

Thanks for posting a question to the wider community. Sorry to learn about your experience.

Both are compatible for your Dyson V6.
Part  966981-01 is a Motorhead with a dimension of 211mm

Hi @Bob

Thanks for highlighting this.

I have an answer for you, but to keep it in one place, I’ll post it against your question.
