A light service on a Rare Dyson DC18 Slim!

This came my way recently because 'it didn't work very well'. It seems to be in fine fettle so let's give this rare old Dyson a clean up and service so it can live for many more years!

The HEPA filter is most likely needing replacement. The release mechanism is hidden behind the lower cord catch 😉

I bought this DC18 slim back in 2010. In 2016 I took it for service. It sounded fine, the hose had suction but the head, while it seemed to be working, wasn't picking up. Besides that and a few filter replacements, its been a great vacuum.

Is the changeover valve broken? It won't divert the suction to the head if so

The dc18 is indeed a nice dyson - good performance and quite well behaved on the longevity of the components and plastics used - my own one went to a fellow collector in the end when my dyson fetishism came to an end Sam

Just bought myself one of these after a long time away from one and I'd forgotten how nice they were!

My grandfather bought one of these dc18s and it was a great vacuum for years but I have been tearing through it fixing clogs and wondering why suction is diminished ugh Iv removed and cleaned everything but the bottom filter that you could not remove either. Ty for the video
