Hello. Please take a look at this list: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/... - Jak na to + styl
Thank you so much, you just talked me through my machine and I found the blockage. More amazingly I actually could put it back together. I'm really chuffed. You're a great help. Have a good day.
Hi there, you’re absolutely welcome, as a bit of a novice and learning new things all the time, so I’m very happy it helped and thank you for your message 🤗
Few things as someone who owns one. I HAD been cleaning it like you just did for a long time. Then I discovered (because I had to replace the brush head entirely) you should be removing a lot more than you just did. The brush motor needs to be disassembled and re-greased at the gears. Spray contact cleaner on the brush motor to clean out the fine and remove the carbon. The boot over the large 30mm bearing on the brush assembly should be removed and lightly oiled. There is also a 16mm bearing at the opposite end of the brush motor just before the roll pin (Lightly oil). Dont worry about the bearing at the end of the plastic brush tube as the bristles usually wear out before you need to worry about it (also it's a pain to access). Dont overdue the oil as it will spin off inside the tube and promotes dust adhesion. The cyclone itself absolutely has to be disassembled. Trust me when I say that an air compressor and thorough soaking/faucet sprayer doesn't work like it appears to. The dirt ends up setting at the bottom of the first or second row of cyclone cylinders and continues to build up and cause problems. You absolutely need a solid torx screwdriver set to disassemble it as the clearance inside will not take most muti bit screwdrivers. To separate the screen, use a set of plastic vehicle interior tools. The plastic that makes up the outer screen is super soft and the body tools will help mitigate dents and scratches. The 4 gaskets in the cyclone assembly are extremely fragile -- be careful. The filters should be washed monthly (as instructed) and replaced every other year (in my experience). The little hose at the bottom from brush to motor always ends up plugged; check the brush head, then the little hose for blockages. 98% of the time that's the problem. The rest of what you did looked good.
I will keep that in mind if I have to do another. I really appreciate your help and advice my friend. Thank you 🙏🏻
@Cameron, you should get rid of that plastic Vacuum and get a used Kirby Sentria. You can drop it off a 5 story building and it will never break. Simple design, easy to fix, well engineered.
Thanks for the video. You've saved me getting a new Dyson!
I D Umoren Hi there, you’re absolutely welcome and I’m chuffed the video helped you. Thanks for your kind words. You’ve made my day 🤗
Thanks so much for this video, I was about to replace the Dyson as it is years of age and was not picking anything up either in the hose or the floor, the problem for me was behind the mesh, I never knew about this!. Dyson now is as good as new - thanks so much! Enjoy the gift, you have earned it!
Awww Ed, thank you. I’m just glad you saw the video and gave it a go. I’m learning more all the time on how to repair these machines and make them work like new again, I’m surprised at how much anyone without much vac knowledge, me! 🤣, can do. So I’m absolutely chuffed! my work is done 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh Ed, thank you soooooo much for your really generous gift. Thank you so much you’ve made my day 🤗
Brilliant vid, thought my machine was for the bin, working so much better now thanks!
Oh wow, that’s wonderful, I’m so glad you enjoyed and the video helped. 🤗, stay safe my friend.
Many, many thanks for the effort. Very useful!
elizabeth green you’re absolutely welcome and I’m very pleased you found it useful. 🤗🤗
Great Fun - thanks so much. I have small flat with very limitied storage so I've bought an old DC49 - their smallest canister model - and this once, the DC50, their smallest upright. They both work great so it's really helpful to see exactly how to keep them in tip-top knick. Brilliant !!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your video! It helped me repair mine!
Hi Rachel, thank you, I’m so glad it helped you. Once you know how to maintain them it makes all the difference for keeping it working perfect. Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe.
Thank you! This was amazingly helpful. I have the same model passed onto me by a friend and the red clip that holds the hose in place had snapped off, but I didn't know what ought to be there and it's not an area shown very much so it took me ages to realise something was wrong and then that something was probably missing - I was watching parts of your video in the early part on .25 to get a good look at that end that attaches to the bottom - then at the end of the video you had a nice few seconds fiddling about to get it to click onto the machine and for the first time I realised what was missing and got out a magnifying glass and had a look and there it was -the damage where the plastic has snapped off. Now I see what's what! A replacement is needed. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise it was very much appreciated. Also I'm so surprised at how much of the machine can be washed - I had no idea the flower bit up the top and the hose and almost everything could go into the sink to get a scrub - that's going to be satisfying to do 😊
Awww, that’s really sweet, thank you, I’m glad it was helpful for you. Once you have it all clean it will be very satisfying. Good luck with it and again, thank you 🙏
The DC50 looks like a great vac Dorian. I just bought a reconditioned DC24 last week - my first Dyson. I am very impressed with it's performance for such a small vac. :-)
I really do love the handhelds, not so much the new one though 😩
Thankyou soooo much for your great video. I just followed this video and fixed my dyson DC 50 vacuum cleaner. Before this video I just wanted to dispose this cleaner but your video saves its life,haha
You’re absolutely welcome and I’m glad it helped you, another one lives for another day 🤗
Thanks, managed to fix the hoover with this video .... top man
Hi Keith, no probs mate, glad it helped 🤗
6:17 - I just love the way you spin that filter cap round like a DJ!! 😁😎🆒
Thanks man 🤣🤣🤣
Tank you I fix my already 👏🏼👏🏼
Yay!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad it was of help to you 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The vidio was really helpful thankyou ☺️
Yours absolutely welcome and thank you so much for your lovely comment, much appreciated 🙏🏻
Yay, I’m snowed in and bored so thanks for helping 😊
Jacob Barett 😂😂😂, you’re more than welcome x

I found one for $20 in a second hand store. This video was so informative. Though I had to slow it down to figure out how to take out the motor.
Awww bless, thank you, I’m so glad it helped you my friend. Thank you
Those are awesome vacuums
Thank you.
Thanks for that. I liked the fact that you had to fiddle with it a bit. Some CZcams films just make it seem too easy. It never is for me!
You’re very welcome Helen, I always leave in the parts where it’s complicated or I make mistakes, that way we can all see it’s not as easy as an advert 🤣
You can get the mesh right off. It's quite tightly sleeved over the bottom part of the cyclone assembly at the bottom. Use a broader tool that a screwdriver. I used my knife but a filler knife or scraper would do. Work all the way round and keep pushing down and it will come off.
Also a large amount of fine dust collects in the mini cyclones at the top. Tap all the way round firmly then knock the bottom against a hard surface and you should get some coming out.
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your advice, using a scraper or spudger will definitely be better. Thank you my friend.
Thanks so much for that tip!
The filter you couldn't get off around 8:30, needs a small twist before it comes off, like 5 degrees. Just enough to free up the part with the rectangular hole in the side.
Thanks Sparr, that’s a great help. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just got one of these on the side of the road for free taking. Was just clogged up and runs well. Another Dyson vac for the collection Just needed to be taken apart and cleaned like this. Of all the expensive vacs I've found were Dyson's and 3 Kirby's. Still trying to find a Miele Vac on the side of the road, but those type of people would never let their neighbors see a broken vac on the end of their driveway lol.
Oh wow!!!! I love it! Trash finds that work again are the best satisfying feeling when it’s working again like it should. I’m always with one eye open on recycling day if I’m driving around 🤣
Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome 😊
Thank you! Thank you!🙏
You are so welcome! 🤗
I bought a second hand dc40 needed cleaning though and once i got it home i found all but one cyclone blocked so had to take it apart, works great now but there is small marks on the plastic were the shroud was prised off, I think those post motor filter s are washable as they are the same as my dc40.
Thankfully the dust hadn’t wrecked the post motor filter, it seemed to just need a blooming good clean up and some TLC.
Thank you so much. 😊
You are so welcome!
I can’t find your video on how to remove the brush roller from the head. Mine is stuck on. Cleaned out the one side but can’t get it to come out. You mentioned that you have a video on that but I can’t find it.
Hay...omg i tried taking the mesh off..it worked!!!!! Carry on taking it off as u were doing it...by clipping it off..then pull the mesh down lol omg...i was happy when it worked cus my is soooooo dirty!!! Im so happy....lol
That’s so cool, I was so scared as I’d broken one before 🤣
@@HooverLux .ah noooo....i was scared i was doing to break mine....lol i also put the thing on wrong...i actually cover the filer hole...so when i vacuumed all the dust didnt suck up...i took it off and placed it on correctly. It made a huge difference to the suction..was like new
Great video. Did all your steps now my Dyson is working great!
Hi Leonardo, I’m so happy the video helped. Thank you soooo much for your feedback my friend. 🤗
Thanks for sharing! Would like to ask if you dismount the part of on/off switching button....I'd like to check in it about some missing power...still no idea how to do it.
thanks
Hi Monica, I’m sorry I’ve never taken one apart by the switch, I don’t know how it disassembles, sorry
I watch your video and it helped me a great deal. However, I was able to get the mesh off and clean cyclone. Works just like new.
Hi Winnie, thank you for your message, glad it was of help to you. 🤗
i have the same dyson dc50
Hi. I'm really stuck between this DC 50 and the Multifloor variation. With the DC 50s 2 Tier Cyclones does it suck better than the Multifloor? Thanks a lot.
Personally I think they both work really well.
Hi can you place any air freshner where the filter is like a car air fresher like you cut up thanks.
Yeah you can as long as it doesn’t impede the flow.
This is great... really helpful on cleaning. But I've taken mine all apart and still having the issue. When I take the canister off, there are two holes into vacuum... one open and one with a grid. Stuff keeps getting stuck on the side with a grid IMMEDIATELY and building up there rather than going on up into the canister. Guess I'm off to search some more vids. Thanks.
Hi, I’ve taken a look at mine for you and I can’t workout how that’s happening for you, I’m wondering I’d the intake change valve from floor to handle and hose is the issue, I’m sorry I can’t help any further, I don’t know much about them I’m afraid. I hope you get it fixed.
The little rollers on the head of my up22 small ball allergy are completely blocked with dog hairs and I don't have a tool to clear them. What do you use because it is getting hard to push the head on carpet because they are not turning?
Hi, The ones on the rug plate can be washed by removing the rug plate and washing it and using something to brush them in soapy water. you can also pick them out with a toothpick or the like and some spray cleaner. dry them after cleaning and a tiny tiny drop of oil should keep them going. you can also buy the little wheels to repack any broken.
This is an amazing vacuum I have loved it my one is the pet it's the greatest of my favourite
I like it too, it does do a good job. I need to do a house demo with it.
Much better after the cleanup. It just needs a new brush roll as those carbon fibre bristles are badly worn. Plaster dust can cause problems with Dyson machines, as Sam has shown on his channel.
Yes, he will be buying one and I will fit for him, will only take a minute. It was lucky that it had t been in prolonged use with the plaster dust.
The main cyclone rubber comes off! You were really close just pull it gently. Majority of the crud is built up in there causing it to reduce suction.
I was scared to, but I have my own that will need doing so I will be more confident 🤣
@@HooverLux Yeh just get a small flat head screw driver and just gently lift each rubber mount off, once you've done one you'll know what I mean, really easy to do. Once done, you have access to the screws that hold the main plastic part in place etc
@@HooverLux oh and then blitz it with water to wash out all the cyclones then leaving in airing cupboard for a few days to dry out.
Great video, After reading the comments here and on other channels, i've come to the conclusion that Dyson upright ball vacuum cleaners are only good for five years, mine is Six weeks out of warrenty and the motor burned out!!!!! I spent a couple of hours yesterday carefully disassembling the ball/ motor assembly and found that all the hoses have multiple cracks!!!! So cost to repair $150.00- $200.00, Dyson Ball worked fantastic but certainly NOT worth the money!!!!
Oh gosh, that’s really expensive, I guess that’s a local vac shop near you? Can you buy the parts of eBay and fit them yourself? You seem very able to do that?
I am sourcing the parts now, ebay, amazon etc,
Ooh excellent! Let me know how you get on.
Silly Man......You don't need any bodybuilders on your channel!!! Your wit, charm and wisdom (and cute pups!) are enough of a draw!!!!!
Says You!
Bodybuilders Yea!
😂😂😂, it will be fun lol
I wouldn’t mind the eye candy 😂😂😂,
Agree!!
Dose come out I got my off under that you couldn’t remove are the screws
Ah excellent, thanks for the comment
thanks but you fast forward what I needed.
Can you help my dc 50 lose suction at wand all filters are clean what could be the problem please
Could be a blocked hose or underneath in the tubes.
@@HooverLux checked there no blockage
do all dysons agitate the deep down dirt
That’s a very controversial question 🤣🤣🤣. In my personal opinion, no, but some do better than others. My upright DC75 is really good, but the cylinder no, unless I use a turbo brush. I wish dyson brushrolls had some form of beating action, then I’m sure they would do a better job. They rely on suction more than beating.
My dyson not socking I clean everything but still not working
Oh no, I wonder is a pipe is missing
Do you know any cordless bagged vacuums apart of makita and numatic? Many regards
I’m afraid not, Miele did do a hybrid battery mankind vac that can be seen on ibaisaic, but I’m not even sure if they still make it. Bagged cordless are almost non existent I’m afraid.
HooverLux ok thank you so much for your answer. I really hate emptying bagless vacuum cleaners...:-(
Heh... I honestly just found that one- bagged gtech pro
Join the club 😂😂😂. I can’t recommend Miele canisters enough, I know they’re corded, but they are soooo awesome. There are a number of excellent refurbed ones on EBay. I recently sold 2!
Yep, theres the cordless bagged Truvox upright, its a commercial type machine based an a USA model of Riccar vacuum. They are made by a company called Tacony who produce very high quality products in the USA. Gtech is usual made in China stuff that wont last the test of time. www.clickcleaning.co.uk/products/truvox_valet_battery_upright-3547?gclid=CjwKCAiA24PVBRBvEiwAyBxf-d1wnukkt7wO-hak4PW_V88siT_FA9B97VSI9tH31Uvkch9ANcld5BoClR0QAvD_BwE
Do you have a video to fix a Dyson that’s doesn’t stand up?
I don’t no, which Dyson is giving you the problem?
HooverLux Restorations & More DC55. It’s hard to tell exactly what the issue is to be honest, likely an internal part is broken. Will try looking at it again tomorrow. Thanks
Hey Jimmy, I’ve taken a look at mine and there are a few clips and spring that may have broken, it’s a simple fix but unfortunately I’ve no idea how to fix it, but I have seen other videos on how to.
HooverLux Restorations & More thanks for having a look, will have a look at some of the vids you have mentioned.
Mine won’t even turn on for some reason. I’m in an Airbnb and it’s the vacuum cleaner here.
Oh gosh, it could be anything from a blown fuse to a broken switch.
Fixed now. Appreciate your response!
Nice job and not use to you in fancy pants and shoes.
🤣🤣🤣, that was made when I got home from work and couldn’t be arsed to get changed 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I think it may be the only one like that 😂😘
@@HooverLux figured as much and had to give you a bad time. You don't unusually hide your legs.🤣🤣
Ryan Hawkins I don’t usually hide anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok....but I don't have a vacuum with which to vacuum my vacuum.
Caitlyn Bukaty 🤣 Every Home should come with a Numatic Henry or Hetty. I’m that case you’d have to use a small brush like from a dustpan and brush 😢
@@HooverLux Thanks! This video was perfect. I came to see how I could clean the cyclone portion but I stayed for the whole segment and learned so much. I love my DC50, my favorite part is that I can completely take it all apart myself!
I have a dyson dc50 it's now three years old. it is shit I have had the dyson engineer out 4 times to fix it. 2 motor replacements. and loads more problems
That’s such a shame, I’ve not really used mine much tbh, but I recently cleaned up a mates and the brushroll was almost bare, the carbon fibre bristles had all but worn away. That’s terrible. I’m surprised Dyson just didn’t give you a whole new one.
You're not showing us how to disassemble the parts. You're going too fast. Show us what buttons to press to disassemble the filter holders. Thanks
Hi Michael, I see what you mean, but these vids are just for entertainment purposes, but! Go check out Sam from the channel Beko1987, he’s the master of how to videos. Hope that helped, stay safe 🤗
@@HooverLux Thanks, well I've found more exciting entertainment lol, but I will check it out. :)
This product is shit, I paid £300 and used it twice a week and It packed in after a few years. Absolute crap. Only bought it because I was told they were a good company!!. Go and get a Shark. Dysons are rubbish
I can’t find your video on how to remove the brush roller from the head. Mine is stuck on. Cleaned out the one side but can’t get it to come out. You mentioned that you have a video on that but I can’t find it.
