v15 canister will not come off stick easily | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

I have had my V15 for about 10 months. I love everything about it but getting the canister off to empty the contents of the bin. I have small hands so pushing the button and lifting the canister off is like fighting a snake. It does not slide smoothly off the stick, like the videos I have watched. I thought it would get better the more I used it, but it hasn’t changed since day one. Is there something I can put on it, to make it slide easier or is mine defective? 

Hi @jennLKN.

Thanks for posting.

Here a suggestion for how to resolve it. Try removing the bin fully from the machine, then washing the bin itself in warm soapy water - this can sometimes loosen stiff plastic parts. Make sure that the bin is 100 percent dry to the touch before placing it back on the machine.

If you’re still struggling, I’d suggest visiting our ‘Support’ page and contacting Dyson should you need. Get started by clicking here - Visit Dyson.com.
