Everything great that can be said about this video has already been said many times over. I’d just end it with saying this videos is indeed heaven sent and you have saved your viewers a ton of $$$. If you were my neighbour, I’d take you out for a beer. Or two. Or a few. 😀thanks buddy.
Me too,brother.
I'd buy a round for him too!!! Best video ever and saved me and others lots of money!
@@cgraff1337 he’s really awesome man. I’ve book marked that video. Watch it every once or twice a year when a deep cleaning is overdue. 😀
Hear! Hear! 🍻
All my suction is coming out of the top hose. Nothing from the bottom. Any suggestions?
The most informative on Dyson servicing without lousy background music. Thank you
One thing to add. You need to remove the brush rollers and clean the hair that gets in deep at the gears that drives them. There are a total of 4 Philips head screws, two at each side. The rollers can be removed to expose the drive gears. The drive gears can be removed using a torx head driver. If you have pets or any one with long hair this is a place for that hair to get stuck. Clear all hair and reinstall. This will save you from having to buy a new brush head assembly, like I did!
Your a treasure a gift i think you may have saved a 91 year old from spending a lot of money as i can now try all your tips out instead of taking it to a shop or buying him a new one the environment thanks you too
Wonderful! Thank you!
I’m so glad I found this video. I just bought one of these used for 20 bucks. I want to give it a thorough cleaning before I even bring in my house. Thank you so much for posting this!
You are so welcome!
What a score. A Dyson for 20 bucks! Worth learning to service it. I paid full price for mine. It's the best vac I ever had! I have had mine for several years now and love it! I'm an old lady (62), but I service mine. It's worth it!
That's a steal!
Best Dyson Instructional Video, ever! Thank you for being clear and concise with great views of what you were doing. Also, thank you for confirming that Amazon doesn't carry parts that actually fit this machine. I ordered a few accessories from them, and none of it fit. Dyson should hire you to do all their instructional videos.😊
Glad it was helpful!
I am a senior citizen and was able to follow the instructions , it was simple and informative. I was able to tap the mesh vacuum and there were dust that came out from the cylinder. There was a lot of thread in the roller and was able to remove it easily.Thank you
**ADDITIONAL TIP** I fixed a HUGE blockage that I had which wasn't mentioned in the video. The cylinder filter that you can squeeze when washing. There was a TON of pet hair inside the filter on the bottom of it. I had to pull it inside out and then fish it out with my fingers and it fixed all the suction I had lost.
I never comment on the thousands of youtube videos I watch, but this was 10/10. Super informative - didn't waste my time. Good videography. Thanks awesome sir!
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you so much! My first time ever taking a vacuum apart and your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Your white backdrop helped me see exactly what I needed to do from beginning to end. I had a terrible smell and there was a toy that was stuck in the tubes causing a blockage. Works like new now and you saved me a ton of $$$$ I thought I had to go buy a new one! Thanks again!
Thanks for demonstrating how to trouble shoot my Dyson. While using my vacuum it lost suction then the motor cut out. I checked the filters and various places where I thought I might see a blockage. Couldn't see anything. I found the problem by watching your video and learning how to disassemble the extension tube from the accessory hose. No light was coming through, it was plugged tight. From the various debris I removed, it may have been building up over time. I really appreciate you sharing this demonstration. You saved me a trip to the vacuum repair shop. I can now give my machine a full service on my own.🙂
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
I don't think I've ever left a CZcams comment before but this video was so detailed, easy to follow, and best of all I fixed that annoying high pitch death shriek my vacuum was making. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you! First time taking my dyson all apart! Really thought it was a goner. I feel very accomplished!
You've saved me so much trouble. I vacuumed something sticky and when I realized what had happened it was too late and I needed a way to wash the hose, thanks so much.
Thank you! I had checked every crevice - or so I'd thought. You showed me two that I'd missed and that was where I found a broken popsicle stick, preventing flow from the floor unit. It now works again. Simple instructions and advice on how to clean this pricey machine!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for posting this!! You just saved me a small fortune in either repair bills or a new vacuum!! We love this machine but it hasn't had the suction lately. The tube was completely clogged with popcorn and pet hair. Thanks again!!
You saved my vacuum's life! I have cleaned the filters on my Dyson Animal 2 several times and could NOT figure out why it wasn't cleaning very well. This morning it started making a horrible noise and stopped sucking completely. I thought it needed replacing. I watched this video and realized I had never taken the head off. Well, it was so clogged with dirt, hair and other nasty things, I needed needle nose plyers to pry it out! I have had this vacuum for 5 years and have never done this! I thought I needed to have my new carpet professionally cleaned because it looked so bad.
Well, needless to say, I was ecstatic. It was a bit tricky getting it back together since I had no leverage but finally got it. I have never been so excited to vacuum my floors. The carpet was filthy and the canister filled up with grossness! Now my carpet looks like new again! Thank you so much! : )
Hooray! Thanks!
A seam ripper (a sewing tool) is a good way to remove hair from the brushes
Best tool ever for cleaning vacuum brush!
Incredible tip. Thank you for this!
LOL, I use that too! It's a lady thing. Hee Hee!
Found a dyson ball animal+ left behind by tenant as "not working". After watching here removed the hose attachment and tiny screw to access the internal horizontal (4" ?) hose. Completely clogged and packed with carpet fibers, a bottle cap and small plastic square. Used a hemostat (or needle nose pliers) to pull the gunk out and Voila! works fine now. Filters were like new. Many thanks!
Well done!!!
Thanks this saved me a trip to Dyson. Now my vacuum is a s good as new.
I cannot believe it, I did it!!!! Thank you for your patience with explaining the process and showing us each step. I feel so proud of myself!!
Great job!
Excellent walkthrough on the deep cleaning. THANK YOU!!!
Oh, my Lord, thank you! My friend with a different Dyson and I tried and tried last night to figure this out and couldn't. So right to CZcams and best video just popped up! I'm going home from work and trying this all out. I try to keep everything cleaned out but the "manual" leaves a lot to be desired and I'm afraid to just pull and twist without knowing anything. All the clicky noises on my first Dyson are scary because I don't know if it's supposed to click or if I'm cracking the plastic LOL
Comprehensive and very clear. The best of all the Dyson service guides.
Great video! It's very clear and informative on how to clean the vacuum. You also don't waste any of the viewer's time with long intros or unnecessary chit chat. I really appreciate that.
He doesn't tell you how to clean the dirt out of the mesh area on the cyclone?
FANTASTIC! It’s working again!
Great video thank you. Straight to the point about what needed to be done to tear it down and troubleshoot. Once torn down it was clear what the problem was. Fixed in 20 minutes. Keep the videos coming...
Suddenly, my vacuum was hardly suctioning well. After watching your video,, I pulled out a bent, plastic tweezer and a big piece of sandpaper. Excellent video! Now the suction is so strong I can barely push my vacuum. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial to clean my Dyson. Did all the steps. So much cleaner now. Thank you for such a clear, step by step tutorial.
This is a great tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video. Got my clog out all on my own! Love this vacuum by the way too.
Honestly the most useful video I’ve ever watched in my life. Thank you SO much!
Thank You, that was extremely helpful
Dyson truly changed the game. All vacuums used to be very similar. Not only does that cyclone tech actually work, but his machines are also very serviceable. I still have my dc-07 that I have had for over 20 years. Great machine. I will let ya know when I need a new one.
You sir are a Godsend!!! I was just about to pay Dyson to service my 2 year old vacuum or trash it due to no suction in the hose. It now vacuums like new! Thank you 😊
Glad I could help
This man is doing God's work.
Thanks for the tutorial.fixed my Dyson thanks to your video .God bless your knowledge
This was really helpful, thank you. This is my second Dyson and the design here is so much less intuitive when it comes to cleaning. This video helped me solve my problem!
I am so glad I found this video. My floor nozzle stopped working. The brush would rotate but nothing would get sucked up. I realized after watching this video that the hose from the floor nozzle to the back stalk area was disconnected. I was getting worried when it stopped sucking with the floor nozzle that I was going to have to try find someone in my area to work on it. Reconnected it and it works fine. Thank you for the work you put into this video.
Amanda Lee Thank you for this comment, turns out this is exactly what was wrong with ours. Apparently someone had sucked up a pen and it was preventing the hose from reattaching to the floor nozzle.
Excellent! This vacuum is brilliantly engineered! Simple stupid easy to maintain. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you so much. Fixed the blockage in the lower part of my Dyson. Your presentation was so simple and understandable
This was incredibly helpful! Just cleaned out all the spaces and got my machine working again. Thank you!
My Dyson Ball (not sure the model but several years old) had lost most of it's suction and would not lock in the upright position. I decided to search for some help and came across this video first thing. He CLEARLY explains all the possible reasons there could be section loss and one of the solutions was right on (taking the tiny screw from the small hose section underneath the dyson). The hose was significantly clogged up with large pieces of dirt/plastic. Once I cleaned out this hose...which does lead to an opening that goes through to the other side of the Dyson so make sure you can see to the other side when you straighten out that tiny hose....which extends a bit......the sweeper works GREAT with full suction! I'd also recommend cleaning the hair from the roller too! That will burn out your motor. GREAT Video!!!
Thanks!!! My Dyson is picking up better then ever!! Can’t believe the guff that was stuck in there. I never would of been able to take that apart and I LOVE how you showed how to take it apart AND how to put it back together. U saved me a trip to the vacuum repair store.
Fantastic video; thanks for making it! I not only found a big blockage (near the end of the video where you take the tiny screw out), but my machine is now nice and clean! Great instructions and demonstration!
Great detailed video on how to take apart the Dyson Ball! I had no idea there was a filter in the ball part. I have always washed my previous Dyson's, both the Dyson bin and cyclones (not any other parts). The cyclones I have washed in my slop sink, waited until it is semi-filled with warm water, held my hand over both openings, shook it back and forth, then let it empty. The amount of dirt that comes out will make you choke. Rinse and repeat until the water is clear. Then place the bin and cyclones over a floor register for 24-36hrs to ensure it is dry. While it is drying, I will also shake and make windmills while holding the cyclones to be confident the water is completely out. If you wanted to get your vacuum super OCD clean, a toothbrush is the best way to get at the tight areas that have hair or dust trapped. If the bush head has dust/dander stuck, grab a can of compressed air that has a straw attached. It will blast out every little bit. Just finished cleaning my Dyson Ball Animal since the cleaners were here yesterday, which gives me a week for everything to dry out. Cheers and happy cleaning
I have also cleaned out the cyclon, you will be amazed at the dust that comes out. I used a hair dryer and canned air combo to make sure it was completely dry.
I know dyson will tell you to only use water on the filters but I have soaked them in oxiclean/ dawn and they are all still fine, but I also have 2 so I can rotate them and insure they fully dry. I am currently searching for a solution to clean my hose, as it looks nasty- might need a day outside in sunlight and fully stretched to ensure it fully dries. If anyone comes up with a solution for the hose- let me know!!
I have done the same thing and I used a floor blower fan to dry the cyclone. It’s great to see that others have done this too!
Omgosh! Thank you so much! This video made my life simpler! I was about to cry when it all of sudden stopped working. This video really helped me.
Could you please show how to remove the entire brush roller? Thanks in advance.
My Dyson was making the high pitched noise that indicated the canister needed to be emptied, but once emptied the plugged noise remained. Upon closer inspection, I could see the mesh area was caked with dust and needed a good cleaning. I didn't know how to remove the clear bin from the cyclone, but within moments of watching this video I was taught how to remove it, and was able to clean the dust from the mesh. All fixed now. Thanks so much for your help!!
THANK YOU! My Dyson went kaput a couple months ago. I thought I’d be forking out a few hundred for another😬 It lost suction suddenly and it’s almost (if not already) 10yo. I decided to find a video on troubleshooting (since we have tons of time stuck in the house) and I found you! Thank you! A massive clog of hair! Now she works perfectly!
Excellent and succinct video. I literally had blockage in every place but the filters. Night and day difference once I cleaned it. Thank you for your video!!!
Thank you---Thank you---Everything all in one place---you are a peach---pat your back!!!
Thank you ever so much! My vacuum suddenly stopped working. I knew it was clogged but had no idea how to clear it. I followed the video step by step. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. Greatly appreciated!!
Great to hear!
Great video, very helpful. In my case the lack of suction was caused by a nickel that was wedged very tightly into the wand and was it ever hard to get out! Finally managed to push it out with a long piece of wooden dowling.
Awesome detailed no wasting time explanation. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much, great video! Found my problem, my Dyson is back to normal.
Love u for posting this; the bottom was fully clogged and no suction; now works as new!!!! Thanks!!!
I cleaned my Dyson for the first time as I am not good with my hands. Your step by step guide was easy to follow. Thank you so much for your help.
Glad it helped!
Excellent video! I was able to find the clog and learned how to clean my Dyson Animal 2! Thank you! You saved us $$$ to have it cleaned. 👍
Thank you so very much for this. I fought for over an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my animal 2 vacuum . I deep cleaned the whole thing still was not working properly. After watching this I found it was the hose with the tiny screw that was clogged I didn't even realise that was there. It is working like new again thanks to you.thank you so much for your help!!
Thank you so much for this excellent video that helped me figure out why my Dyson Ball Animal 2 was not sucking up debris. More importantly, thank you for the very detailed video showing me how to take better care of my vacuum in the future. I followed your instructions and they were great. I did have one heck of a time trying to get the cleaner head back on, and you made it look so easy (though it is pretty clear you have a lot more experience than I do)! Thanks again.
That is great to hear! Thank you!
THANK YOU! I had sucked up a pencil and was afraid I might damage the hose. Thanks to the You Tube video, I was easily able to remove the object and the hose was saved. YAY!
Thank you so much! Your tips on putting it back together really helped.
Thank you for being straight to the point. Saved my sanity....
I just bought one of these secondhand & needed a general tutorial. And I need to clean it! This was so helpful. Thanks so much!
So glad! Enjoy it!
Thank you so much. I got so much cleaning done on my Dyson. So many parts I couldnt open without this tutorial. Im a visual person so this helped so much! Thank you thank you. After the filters are dry tomorrow mt vacuum shall suck again!!! Yay!!😊
I am so glad I found your video. Yesterday I used my vacuum so much and today when I went to plug it in it wouldn't go on and I was frantic thinking now I have to buy a new one so as soon as I can I will be cleaning it and I'm sure it will work once it's all nice and clean especially the filters. Thank you so much for your very thorough video.
Excellent tutorial. Very thorough. Thank you!
I really appreciate you making this video - I panicked after accidentally sucking up a thin piece of cloth into our vacuum and I knew where it was but didn’t know to access it. You video showed me in three easy steps! No more panicking, just CZcams it 💪🏽
Fantastic - thank you. Mine was whistling like a jet engine but this hack worked.
Excellent video and super helpful. Thank you.
Life changing! Thank you for such a great video!
Thank you for such a no nonsense easy to follow thorough vid!
I see I left a comment on here 3 years ago and I’m still using this video to help me clean my Dyson the right way. Thank you for ur helpful video and I Definately mean HELPFUL!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for coming back!
Thank you so much for this tutorial it helped big time
Thank you! Perfect instructions and easy to follow.
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I have used this page in the past to fix my Dyson and here I am again. FIXED....
Hooray!
Thanks 🙏 great walk thru - I use the clean out brushes for cleaning lint traps in a dryer for cleaning the hoses - works super well!!! Cheers - Stay Inspired - K
Good idea! Thanks!
Thank you for this great tutorial! My wife thought that the vacuum was dead but after going through your steps, I identified the blocked hose (removed with that tiny screw) which was packed with dog hair. After reinstalling everything, the vacuum works just as new! Thanks a million!
Thanks for letting me know!! So good to hear that!
So far I've tried everything but that step. Don't have the proper size screwdriver. My Basset Hound sheds a lot and I had to manually remove some of his hair from the bin with my hand. So here's hoping once I get the screw off I find a bunch of dog hair.
OMG me too! I cleaned everything and did not know about removing the tiny screw. There was about 6-7 years worth of dog hair, dirt and even a piece of flat plastic about the size of a quarter. It's brand new now!
Such a helpful video! My vacuum hasn’t worked properly in a long time and I thought I had checked every hose and filter but when I unscrewed he back there was a pin that got stuck parallel causing a big backup and blockage. Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial!
Maybe blow compressed air from a can into it? That's what I'm going to try. Or hair dryer on cool?
Thank you VERY MUCH!! You explained with such detail! This video helped me a lot!!
much appreciated, thx for putting your time and effort into this
This was the best video on YT on cleaning this machine. Thank you so much!!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you very much for doing this video. I sucked up a bunch of guinea pig bedding and clogged it up and finding this video was a great thing! All better and cleaned out!!
Thanks so much. I couldn’t get the hose to pop out but that’s okay. My issue got fixed. The Dyson people sent it to me during a trouble shooting call.
Just had mine stop on me. Followed these simple steps and it's back to working like when I bought it! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome!
Wow, thank you for the detail explanation, it really helped me finding the blockage inside the small hose inside the rotating ball; we were going crazy with my husband bc we couldn’t find any problems in all the other obvious parts of the vacuum 👍🏼
Glad it helped!
Thx again - just referred back to this handy video because was having trouble getting my Animal to lock back in upright position. Weird. Thought let's start with cleaning and re-seating everything before taking to repair. Found an emery board stuck in section behind hose at bottom. Amazed it made it that far in one piece, but the Animal is an animal! Great suction, great motor. So relieved this didn't cost me, plus now taking him all apart and doing a total clean now. Just wanted to let you know this video is the gift that keeps on giving! 😍
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful.
A dyson vacuum I acquired recently the wheel was loose and I need to tighten it and this video helped thank you.
Thank you VERY MUCH!! I was actually just trying to learn how to get the hose / detached from the handle / machine so I could use it as the extension! Now I know how to clean it and change the filters
You are welcome!
I was about to go out of my mind. I sensed there was a blockage; however, I couldn't see how to take the hose off at the base (thank you thank you) and also that weird little doomadad rounded thingamabob that you open by twisting it up at a weird ankle to reveal blockage. I am so incredibly relieved, now, as I couldn't seat the handle onto the spine (of the machine) as it stuck up and simply wouldn't fit down into all the grooves and such. Phew!!! I am indebted to you! Again many thanks!!!
Great info. Easy to follow and execute. Thanks a bunch.
You're very welcome!
Excellent, no nonsense video, thank you sir!
Very helpful on how to deep clean and learned my filter was super nasty. In case anyone else is a newbie like me, don’t forget to check the tube you remove from the see through stretchy one. Found a tissue and toy .
This was absolutely perfect. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks! This vacuum has sat in the garage for the last 6 months and I could not figure out what was wrong with it. I found your video, followed the steps and now it's working.
Thank you! You helped me fix it.
Awesome video. Thank you! My vacuum has never been this clean!
Thank you so much for this video! Helps get to the point real fast and also no background music is a plus so I can hear you and the vacuum parts.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you! This is a fantastic video and invaluable in keeping the Dyson running well.
Glad it was helpful!
This is a fantastic video. This is the only video I found that explains how to totally dismantle the animal 2. My blockage was in the hose and in the cyclone assembly. As said, when you take the cyclone assembly apart, tap the purple assembly lightly against something and you may get tons of dust drop out of the assembly. I probably had half a cup of dust fall out of the cyclone. Runs like a top now and 2 sets of new filters on the way.
