Can you buy the uv attachment head for any of the cordless vacuums ?

Best answer by Jack

Hi @Kaseyhamlin123,

Thanks for this further clarification!

This is the Dyson Fluffy Optic™ soft roller cleaner head - the illumination is angled to clearly show hidden dust and debris on hard floor surfaces: 

 

The light helps ensure you can easily see where you still need to clean without missing areas. It’s not a UV light, and doesn’t aim to sanitise the floor surface.

Just to check, do you currently own a Dyson cordless vacuum? If so, are you able to confirm exactly which model you own so we can see if there’s a compatible cleaner head with the illumination feature?

Hi @Kaseyhamlin123,

Welcome to the Dyson Community!

At this time, we don’t produce any kind of vacuum cleaner accessory which includes UV lighting. We’ve found from testing that a quick pass back and forth with a vacuum over a specific area (for example, the surface of a mattress) doesn’t provide a long enough period of direct exposure for a UV light to effectively kill bacteria or dust mites.

Is there a particular floor surface or upholstery type you’re looking to clean?

Yes, hardwood. I seen the detect one have some kind of green light on it to see the hair and dust on the floor. I just didn’t know if you could just buy that attachment for any of the Dyson

I don’t have one yet. I was seeing if I bought any model if I could just buy that attachment for it.

Hi @Kaseyhamlin123,

Thank you for confirming this!

Variants of the Dyson V12™, V15™ and Gen5detect™ vacuums will either include the Fluffy Optic­™ soft roller head in the box, or will be compatible with it if you decide to order one at a later point. So you may want to start by looking at these machines to see which variant is right for your needs.

Hope this helps!
