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!

"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.

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.

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.

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?

Matching parts for my vac. - Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute (Copper)

I have the accessories (& wall mount) for a “Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute (Copper)”. I know this is the model because it also had the manual, with the sticker giving the Serial Number, and when I registered it this was the model that was identified.However, when we got all these parts, the main body and charger were missing. Now I’m on a hunt to replace these. I’m finding various body units that appear similar but different labels are used with them. Some say “V10 Animal” - others say “V10 (Model SV12)”.Will any of the “large canister” bodies that are identified as “V10” work with my parts??

Collection failure

Reported a problem with my Dyson Motörhead for which they collected a repair fee and arranged a collection- no time specified- it was ‘all day’. Nobody turned up on the specified day and when I called they said the courier would ‘try again’. There is no video footage of anyone trying in the first place. Collection rearranged for the next day nd same thing happens. Dyson now say they have escalated it and I will get a call urgently- absolutely no surprise that no call happens.I guess the only options now are to write off the money as a bad experience or take them to court. End of the day my experience with Dyson has been ‘good tech’ , ‘poor reliability and failure prone’ and absolutely the WORST customer service experience ever.

V8 Main Body

I need a new Main Body for a V8 SV10. A web search on the Dyson spares pages yields only Part No 967812-01, but with the caveat that it is ONLY for serial Nos starting YM8. The Serial No on my machine start RA5. So what Part No do I need please? Tried the online chat, but got nowhere :-(

Question about Fluffy Optic head

G’day I’m looking into buying the Dyson Gen5detect, but I’ve seen in some reviews that the Fluffy Optic head cannot be turned off like it can be with the V15. I would prefer the option to switch this off, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to purchase the Gen5detect with the head that can be turned off. Thanks in advance for any info!

Dire customer service- How did you resolve it?

This is what’s advertised but not met.I ordered my hoover on the Thursday morning at 9:30. When it didn’t arrive on Good Friday I thought it was because it was a bank holiday and therefore it’d be delivered on the Saturday. When my tracking information was showing it was still in the depot lunch time Saturday I phoned Dyson customer service. I was told it was due for delivery that day and to be patient. It never arrived.I could have ordered from elsewhere and paid £50 less but I wanted the next day delivery as I was going away on the Tuesday. Tuesday, I ring Dyson again and ask to cancel my order as it still hadn’t arrived as per the 35 day money back guarantee.Advised as it was with the courier they couldn’t do that and I’d have to wait until I received the machine and phone again to arrange collection.I phoned after finally receiving it on my return from holiday and asked for price match. Told they couldn’t do it. So I said I wanted my machine collected and I’d order the same Hoover

Introducing the Dyson CleanTrace™News

The new Dyson CleanTrace™ consists of two parts: software enabled through the MyDyson™ app lets you visualise your cleaning path in real-time with AR (augmented reality) technology. And hardware in the form of a phone clamp, which attaches to the wand of your Dyson Gen5detect™ vacuum - so your phone’s camera can see the clean path from an optimised position.Dyson CleanTrace™Visualising your cleaning paths in real-time with AR gives proof of a thorough clean, so you can spot missed areas more easily. It’s a really satisfying experience, which takes inspiration from the methodical way the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot navigates. And when you’re done, you can remove your phone from the clamp and scan your whole room to check it over - proof of a job well done!Our research showed significant variability in thoroughness from one person to another when vacuuming. On one hand, areas are often missed; on the other, they’re cleaned over and over, lacking efficiency. Dyson engineers wanted to add th

My Negative Customer Service Experience with Dyson - Wall Dock Installation Issue

Hello everyone on the forum,I would like to share my recent experiences with Dyson's customer service, which unfortunately turned out to be very dissatisfying. Since December, I have been trying to solve the problem with installing the wall dock for my Dyson Gen5 vacuum cleaner, but unfortunately without success.After the initial installation, I encountered a serious problem that prevented me from using the device freely. Despite multiple requests for help, I was ignored by the company. It is a known problem described here on the forum and is due to the fact that the manufacturer did not anticipate that the location of the docking station would change. However, this was not indicated in the instructions, which I find unacceptable.I've been told I have to wait for parts, and it's been over five months and no one can say how much longer I'll have to wait for a simple plastic part.What's worse, I learned that other docking stations are available, and offered as addition to Dyson Gen5 for

Dyson V10 Cyclone Not Working -- weird boink noise

HelloMy Dyson V10 Cyclone Motorhead has been working smoothly for last few years until yesterday. I cleaned my carpet and it had clogged debris, so I cleaned the tubes and areas where it gets clogged. And all of sudden, it makes this kind of noise and not working. I couldn’t find out what this noise is for. It’s certainly not for the filter as filter light is not on. Does anyone have any advice on what the error could be and how to fix? Thank you!
