2-months of Dyson not fixing my machine - HELP!

Is it normal for Dyson to not help at all with a cordless vacuum that hasn’t worked for nearly 2 monthsHave been sent several replacement parts that haven’t resolved the issue. Have had a collection booked in for the machine to be ‘fixed’ that just didn’t happen. (Partner took a day off work) Where is best to contact them as they keep fobbing me off on the phone, the classic ‘someone will be in contact soon’  ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED Thank You

Dyson Repair - Issue | Next Steps?

Among the MANY Dyson products at our house, we have a new *IN WARRANTY* $1028.36 Dyson Outsize battery powered vacuum purchased 9/4/2022, that started acting like the battery was going bad.   I know this because I noticed the same symptoms on an older model of ours.  BTW, I am an engineer.When the trigger was pulled, the motor would run for a short time, then stop.   (SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINAL POST)When my wife brought it in for repair to the Dyson Dallas Service Center, the receptionist told her it looked like water damage BEFORE ANY TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT IT.   My wife of course objected -- we know not to expose electronics to water.  The receptionist told her to take it home, wash the filter, let it sit for 24 hours, then if it had the same problem, bring it back.    She did.When she brought it back, we received a notice that, “of course”, there was water damage and it would cost $350 to replace the seized motor assembly.   Remember, the motor worked when we brought

Very poor customer service Dyson Germany - Lost/Missing Package

Hello, I bought more than 3 weeks ago a Dyson v15 on the official Dyson Germany website. However, the delivery company (DHL) says that this package is now lost and I should contact your customer service to get a refund.I have contacted Dyson Germany several times (10 times!) via whats app and their phone number but I still have no news regarding the product or the refund. They still don't know where my package is and now they don’t reply to me anymore.I expected Dyson customer service to be much more proactive due to the price of their products (that vacuum cleaner costs more than 700 euros!), but the only thing they tell me since 3 weeks is that the investigation with DHL is still ongoing. I am really disappointed and frustrated by this of lack of professionalism.Do I also need to escalate this issue legally? I just want to get a refund and never deal with them again.

Introducing the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuumROBOT VACUUM

From Tokyo, Japan, James Dyson unveiled the next generation of intelligent robotic vacuum cleaners - the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robotic vacuum. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robot vacuum has sensors that detect the edges of a room, and redirect suction through a side-actuator for precision edge cleaning – solving one of the biggest challenges for any robot – edge cleaning. Its high-level processor thinks and adapts, capable of pinpointing its position to within 71mm.Dyson cordless vacuum technology uses acoustic piezo sensors to count and categorise dust particles, informing owners via LCD screen when to move on, or continue cleaning. These readings also determine the suction power required for the task, automatically adjusting power levels.  To learn more about the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robotic vacuum, the unique Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology, including dust detection, obstacle avoidance and wall detection, visit the Future of clean article. Be among the first to hear when

UK Helpline Unavailable 8/8/23 - Anyone know why?

This is more of a question to the Mod/CM rather than everyone else. I’ve tried calling the helpline a few times over the last 24 hours, to be met with a technical error and an automated messaging showing it is down.@Stuart any ideas when this will be back up and running? I much prefer talking to someone than using websites.

Positive shout out to Dyson - Shopping experience

This is just a shout out to Dyson! 😁  It is so helpful for us (customers) that you- (Dyson) register our new tool once it is shipped. While I would register it myself- many customers might not or just forget as they are excited to start using their purchase; it is one less step that I need to do. In addition, it is helpful that you place our purchases under My Dyson so we can find all the data (SS number purchase date_ warranty expiration date) is one easy to find location. I like to enter my hair tools in our house inventory list (SSN is important) since they are an investment. Good to have all items cataloged in home inventory list. so….. thank you!!!🙌

Dyson Cordless vacuums: Maintenance PollCOMMUNITY POLL

With the second of our owners polls rolling out, we’re focusing on maintenance. More specifically, the maintenance of the filter(s) in our Cordless vacuum cleaners. Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners are designed to capture microscopic particles. Over time these particles can build up and reduce performance. By washing the filter(s) at least once a month, it helps to maintain optimal performance, the suction power of the vacuum and should prolong the filter life.With this in mind, we’d love to hear how often you truly maintain your filter(s) or even give the entire vacuum cleaner a thorough once over.I’ve included an ‘Other’ option and left the comments open - if you have anything outside of these options. please leave us a reply.

Dyson Cordless - Cleaning dust bin / container. Is there an easier way?

We have a kennel of Siberian Huskies and though we have several Dyson corded vacuum cleaners many times for a quick clean it’s easier to get a cordless version. I had my eye on the V12 but the static electricity makes the dog hairs cling to the canister requiring me to be able disassemble the pod from the main body and use a compressor to clean it out. Can you entirely and easily separate the waste container from the main body to clean it? Thanks for your replies siberian (Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Title Updated)

Issus with getting my Dyson collected for a refund - Suggests on next steps?

I bought an airwrap on 26th May, requested return on 28th May.  It is now 10th July and I have received boxes to pack it in that have never been collected.  I have been promised Freepost labels that have never been sent.  I am at a loss and can only assume that Dyson is facing  bankruptcy and holding onto my funds.  I’ve emailed the directors and received no response.  The boxes I’ve received to return the Airwrap are large enough for me to sit in holding the small Airwrap.  This is a nightmare - what do you advise?

Item lost in Shipping - Never buying Dyson ever again. Customer Service is no help

Last Sunday (July 9th) I purchased a Dyson V15 Absolute direct from the dyson.com website.  I thought I was getting a pretty good deal despite spending so much on a vacuum cleaner.  Anyway, I received my UPS tracking number that showed delivery on the 14th, but then it was moved to July 13th.  This usually happens since I live in a large city and we get deliveries from the major hub areas relatively quickly.  In fact, the shipment made it to Houston on the 12th fully ready to make it my way the next day.  But that’s the last movement its seen.  It missed the delivery day (Thursday), it missed the original delivery target (Friday), and it’s gone through the weekend with zero movement.  So yesterday I call Dyson asking for assistance.  They tell me they can’t contact the shipper (UPS), and that I would have to.  Doesn’t make sense since when I called UPS they said that the shipper has this locked so no changes can be made.  Whatever, at this point I would rather get a reorder started.  S

New product suggestion - Lighted Head Piece

Dyson says it is relentlessly engineered so i would like them to have an upgrade spare part that would either attach to  or replace the head of the vac that had a light on it. My Kirby vacs always had a light on them that would really show the floor when it was in shadow from overhead or window lighting, even my old Hoover had a lilght. I challenge the engineers at Dyson to come up with an affordable, durable , upgrade or option to take away this defect in optimal performance to an otherwise exceptional product.

Dyson reveals the most neglected spots during a deep cleanTIPS - CLEANING

Did you know that 44% of people in the UK don't clean their mattresses? And there are other places many of us forget too - skirting boards anyone? Following the publication of Dyson's first Global Dust Study, we reveal the most neglected household cleaning spots along with some top tips for a deep clean by Dennis Mathews, Dyson Research Scientist in Microbiology.Dyson’s first Global Dust Study reveals that one in three people clean only when they spot visible dust on their floors. However, fine dust is invisible to the naked eye and collects in most places in the home - areas we don’t even think about cleaning. While dust is seemingly innocuous, in reality, it's a complex matrix of organic matter, that includes dead skin cells, hair, dust mites, dust mite faeces, bacteria, mould, small insects and other fibres and particles. Many of these components can trigger allergies and impact our well-being. In this article we highlight the 10 top places most people forget to clean around the hom
