  • It's been a long time since I was asked by a normal person to have a look at a Dyson DC15, but it happened! Let's see what's causing this old girl to not work too well, and see if we can't clean some life back into it.
    Fancy donating to the channel? I’m always in need of parts for projects, so have a look at my Amazon wishlist, and let me know who you are in the note so I can read it out on camera! - www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

    My daughter found an animal DC15 in the street about 5 years ago and all I did to it was clean it up (as you have shown) and it is still going strong to this day. It's a brilliant workhorse and she loves it. Great video again Sam.

    This was my first big purchase as a functioning adult! And it lasted almost 15 years before my stepson dropped it down the stairs and cracked all the chassis. 😭😭😭 It was such a good vacuum cleaner! 👍

      I’ve had mine 15 years and its still going. I looked up this video to clean it before I sell it because I’m finally going cordless. I hope
      I don’t regret it.

    One of the more interesting older dyson models that they did.can honestly say I think I’ve only ever had one and it was for parts (yellow base model)and was totally cream crackered!

    still have one of these as a daily driver, works pretty damn good still. Was a bin find and only needed a new brush roll motor after the old one died from rust.

    I have a dc15 regular vacuum, I’ve ordered new filter arriving today… will need a good clean like you’ve done, but other than that still serves its purpose for now🤞thanks for the video👍🏻

    Great video. The vacuum at my office, insurance agency, with three people is that same machine but it's the one with the clear brush roll cover. Might need to do a little more than just cleaning the bin as I have been doing.

    I just picked one of these up, it's missing the short brush bar and end cap, currently the brush bar isn't spinning. I'm not sure if it's missing anything else.
    Is it worth spending money on parts for it?

    • @beko1987
      @beko1987  Před rokem

      Could be borderline unless you want one anyway! The brushroll not spinning could be a broken loom wire, I'd try and get that going first before splashing out on new brushrolls...

    • @beko1987
      @beko1987  Před 2 lety +1

      I've only ever had a few apart and it's quite involved... The yolk is quite tricky! I don't see many nowadays though, part of the reason I did a video on this one! A bulletproof reliable Dyson from the era when that was normal!

    Absolutely junk vacuum (electrical problems). Nice cleanup though. I think the newer ones are better but having some issues still.

    Disappointing video. I have a d15, you just flew past key points like disconnecting the little side hose, even after I paused and replayed, doesn't clearly show how it comes off. All you did was clean out the inside. Wow

      @@vacuum_collector26 I KNOW how it works. I found other videos that properly showed the process. Sit tf down, your comment has NOTHING to do with my comment. I will say it again since you didn't comprehend the first time around. THIS VIDEO IS CALLED SERVICING AND CLEANING UP ON AN OLD DYSON DC15.
      He FLEW BY THE WHOLE PROCESS. I FOUND ANOTHER VIDEO THAT SHOWED HOW TO PROPERLY SHOW THE PROCESS. NOWHERE IN THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION DID I SAY "DUH, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS"! 🤡🤡🤡💀💀💀💀🖕🖕
