wheels breaking - Dyson V15 and Gen 5

Hi Dyson,

 

First things first, the quality of your heads on V15 and Gen 5 are top class. However, particularly on thicker carpets that you see less of, the wheels fall off. Unlike other Dyson variants you cannot change the wheels. Dyson have been exceptional in dealing and replacing heads under warranty and just outside of but I still have bought an additional one for rainy days, which has a year warranty. But in short, while I understand you can't return to the days of turbo head wheels built like tanks from your cordless machines, can you not create a sturdier wheel, a replaceable wheel or a head dedicated to thicker carpets with a bigger design eg an outsize style head with better or replaceable wheels? The biggest issue I find with Dyson's is this and if availablity is limited, it can be bad news for the customer.

Hi ​@NatureClean7,

Welcome to the Dyson community and sharing your feedback!

We're sorry to hear you're having trouble using your Dyson vacuum on thicker carpets. This could be because of the suction settings. To help, I recommend using "Eco Mode," which lowers suction and makes the vacuum easier to move on thick carpets. Also, the "Digital Motorbar Cleaner Head" works well for all floor types and cleans efficiently without too much resistance.

We can reassure you the cleaner head is tested just as rigorously as any Dyson part, and in normal use we'd expect it to last for the 2-year guarantee period, and beyond.

Additionally, some parts and accessories may sell out quickly when restocked due to high demand. To stay updated, you can use the "Notify Me" feature on Dyson.com under the “Support” section. We'll send you an email when stock is available.

Hope this helps!
