Anyone know what want I need for my Dyson? (Picture Included)

Hi!, so I have a Dyson V6 fluffy+, recently the clip on the dirt chamber broke so my partner bought a new one. He did not buy from Dyson direct, all it says is Dyson V6 DC59, DC72 vacuum cleaner bin assembly as description.Now, it works and fits the battery perfectly but no attachments fit this cleaner bin, including the wand, I think it’s because the end (attachment part) is slightly different. Therefore I want to buy a new wand to fit the new chamber but because I can’t see the attachment part on any pictures I don’t know exactly what one it is.Any chance anyone can help? The new attachment part is attached, I just need the model/make of the wand to fit this.

Getting a static shock - Suggestions?

I have a v7 Origin. While vacuuming a small area rug, on tile, I’m getting shocked by what I’m guessing is a build up of static electricity. I wear tennis shoes so I thought I was grounded. Any remedies to stop/prevent this?

Crevice tool light-pipe - Not working.

Hello Everyone,I have a Dyson V8 plus supplied without any type of “Crevice tool” although there is a vacant slot to accommodate this accessory as it hangs on the wall. Post sale I decided to purchase a Crevice tool with the illuminating feature however the two “sent-out” did not function properly with only the briefest blink of light and then only as the machine was initially triggered. Trying to have the problem solved has not bought my way any joy: The benefit versus anxiety measurement told me to walk away, modern methods we see in customer-support can wear you down and one must realise when “they” are impacting your mental health. Did I mention the multiple trips back and forward to the Post Office, phone calls going nowhere and the over-friendly conversations with Robots?As a last resort, I now put forward with blind faith, the hope of a sensible answer.Thank you.

Can you plug a cordless DC59 vacuum into mains power?

I want to plug a cordless DC59 powerhead into mains power to run off electricity rather than run off the battery as I will be using it frequently but at odd times, so I want it to be charged when I need it and not have to change out the battery every time. Is there an adaptor or extension lead that will do this? Thanks.

Dyson V8 wall-mounted docking station not securing vacuum - Help!

When mounted upright (accessory holder on top) the docking station will not secure the vacuum, I had to invert the holder (accessory holder down) for the vacuum to secure vacuum. I suspect the spring-loaded portion of docking station isn't strong enough to push the vacuum up into clip. Please advise.

V10 Animal - brand new battery is HOT! Ideas?

So I received my V10 for Christmas in 2022. Just needed to replace the battery - but it’s HOT! The handle is hot! The base of the battery is hot! Just about 10 minutes of use on the freshly charged, and impeccably clean unit. Filters have been awaiting the new battery delivery.Was a little shocked so I grabbed my meat thermometer and it’s a great thermometer and the external temp was over 120 degrees. anyone else have this happen?

Help - Can someone identify the part I need please? (picture Included)

This “hair/velcro grip strip” fell off fairly early when i was using the hoover. I want to get some replacements as I think it did pick up hairs fairly well. Can someone advise what part, where, i’m looking to get these. The “plush strips” seem to bring up so many different version, variety, materials and I can’t seem to find the exact thing i’m looking for.

Soft Roller Head - V8 compatible. Help please...

I want to buy a Soft Roller Head to fit my existing V8 Animal.I can find at least three models listed 966489-01, 966489-04, 966489-15 which all look the same, but are sold at different prices. Do they all fit a V8, or if not which one do I need please? I find the ‘compatability’ information on the website site very confusing !

How to set up V15 Detect (Built-in dusting and cervice tool)

Hopefully a very simple query but I am having issues setting up my new V15 hoover. The wand doesn’t seem to attach to the machine because of a clear but of plastic. Dyson told me there was a part missing so send out a new hoover. This is exactly the same. Getting a response from the Dyson email or WhatsApp is terrible so trying here. Am I missing something? Any help appreciated.

Digital Motorbar Head (carpet head) Keeps Stopping?

I have a V15 Absolute and despite all efforts, on anything other than Eco mode, the digital motorbar head (carpet head) keeps tripping and stopping. Dyson have replaced it and the new head lasts a bit longer before giving up, but I would expect the head to be keep running on any pile of carpet (have also tried changing between - 0 and +) which makes no difference. Can anyone shed any light on what the issue may be? My experience of customer service wasn't the best, and I fear they'll just keep changing the head without getting to the bottom of the matter.

Gen5detect - Issues with Fluffy Optic Head and Digital Motorbar Head

Hi. I have just bought my first Dyson, the Gen5 Detect. I am having a couple of issues with two of the heads.Firstly, when using the fluffy optic head, the beam of light keeps going off sporadically and the head stops spinning at the same point. Sometimes it will run fine for a few minutes, other times a few seconds. I have to turn the machine off and on again for it to work again and then it may just stop shining the light and the head stop spinning a few seconds later.Secondly, a similar issue with the Motorbar head. When vacuuming carpet the head sporadically stops spinning. Again, it may work fine for a few minutes or a few seconds and also needs turning on and off again to work properly again.I have read that hair may be tangled in the heads to make them stop spinning but this has happened since I pulled the machine out of the box 2 days ago. On the very first clean the fluffy head stopped spinning and the light went off after 10 seconds so it isn’t an issue with anything being ta
