Here is the fantastic Dyson Digital Slim Mk2 DC44 Animal. (DC45 in Canada and Continental Europe)
Here I show how to check for blockages and then show you how I clear a serious Blockage in the main Motorised head. This process took me circa 20 minutes in total. I have cut this down and tried to keep all the important footage. Please feel free to ask me any questions about this and what I did.
The DC44 is a cordless vacuum cleaner. It is powered by a 'fade-free nickel manganese cobalt' battery that delivers a 20 minute run time. There are two powered motor brush floor ends. Capable of handling carpets & hard floors. This cleaner is far more than for use as a quick clean around the kitchen. This vacuum cleaner could become your principle cleaner.
Within the first 24 hours of owning this I had completely cleaned the whole house. Yes. It took two charges. But the house is cleaner than ever. (This will actually be replacing an older Dyson model for us!) I am very impressed with just how good the motorised brushes are.It is easy to use and control, so manoeuvrable that getting into small and 'hard to reach' areas so effortless and easy. I have now cleaned under everything!
This gets my wholehearted recommendation.
I created this video with the RU-vid Video Editor ( / editor )

We were resigned to replacing our DC44 until I found this video. You described our problem exactly, and it was as good as new within 5 minutes!

A problem all #Dyson #DC44 / #DC45 owners will have at one time or another - A blockage in the vacuum cleaners head. I show you how I look for and clear such a blockage in this owners guide video:

@lyndapotter1478 9 лет назад

I can't believe I have just dismantled and "repaired" a vacuum cleaner. Feeling very pleased with myself. Thank you SO much from a technophobic woman who didn't have a clue what to do. I'm staggered how well it picks up now!

@TomStrong 9 лет назад

+LYNDA POTTER Welldone you! Glad my video helped and that you are now back to a fully functioning Dyson!

@calemccluskey7699 8 лет назад

thanx for the tutorial.... unfortunatly after ransacking the house to find a metal coat hanger i discovered all we had was wood ones!!!! So i got inventive with an extra long kirby grip (I know... a hair grip to fix a hoover!!!) and a small pair of clamps.... the blockage was right behind the opening in the front of the head (the fiddliest place!!!!) But thanks to your tutorial i now have a working hoover.... a must with a large furry dog!!!!! :D

@TomStrong 8 лет назад

+cale mccluskey Very inventive! Glad to read that your Dyson is now all up and working again. Sounds to me like your dog now owes you a Kirby Grip!

@henryrawlinson1328 5 лет назад

Hi. Thanks for that, we just had exactly the same problem and your suggestion of using an old coat hanger was perfect. I had been poking around trying to find something a bit flexible to clear the blockade, such as a piece of 3 core electrical flex, but the coat hanger trick worked perfectly.

@TomStrong 5 лет назад

That’s great to read! Glad my tip helped. 😊

@thegoldswains7596 9 лет назад

I found your video really useful to clear a blockage in the main head. However, I am having problems removing the filter to clean it. When I press the blue button marked filter down, I just cannot seem to separate the circular section away from the part with the throttle. Hope you can help. Thanks.

@TomStrong 9 лет назад

Wendy Goldswain I am glad this video helped. regarding removing the filter for washing and cleaning I also made a small video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9BwybDV3CsD.htmloes that help ? or is it that your catch will not open to release and give you access to the filter area ? Try - pushing the unit together very hard and then whilst maintaining the closing pressure, press the release button and hold that pressed whilst you split the two halves..

@sistermothersm7606 8 лет назад

Thank you. I thought my Dyson was broken. A good clear produced a lot of gunk but it is now working as well as it ever did. Any suggestions on how to clean the bristles? They keep getting hair wrapped round them and are difficult to clear.

@TomStrong 8 лет назад

+Jill Parton Glad to know that my video helped get your Dyson running again :) Here is my brush bar cleaning video... I hope that also helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_0a71p84sp8.html

@amymccormick5360 9 лет назад

Thank you, I had a huge blockage, right behind the brush bar. It's a rectangle leading to the tube to the canister. didn't know the bar came out so easy. Waiting for the filter to dry, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work.

@TomStrong 9 лет назад

Amy McCormick Glad to know this helped. :)

You are most welcome! I am glad my video helped and that your Dyson is working again. :D

@seccat 9 лет назад

Thanks... Saved me a call to the help center. I have a long pair of hemostats that I used to clear the same blockage. Too bad Dyson doesn't have a clear bit of plastic on the brush-head, in front of the intake orifice, so you could see light at the end of the tunnel.

@TomStrong 9 лет назад

seccat Glad my video helped. I agree about the clear bit of plastic! That would be a great idea. People could then see if / where any blockage was.

@erica123king 10 лет назад

thanks so much! i didn't realize you could take the brush out of the vacuum ! when i took it apart it was clogged badly. i used a small teaspoon to get the clog out from the small hole where the brush is. the back was clean. i love my dyson again now! i will make a point of cleaning blockages more often! i have a big orange one too! any tips on cleaning that one??

@TomStrong 10 лет назад

erica123king Glad my video helped! :D (I can only really give advice about things I own & use... I also own a DC07 Animal if that helps!)

@feldspar43 3 года назад

Thanks Tom that was really useful. I have inherited a DC44 but also seem to have no power in the floor brush. Can one take it apart as I notice you need a special head screwdriver -- sorry dont know the technical term.

@TomStrong 3 года назад

Does either of the powered floor brushes work? just wondering if the issue is the power connections. note - they won’t spin IF there is too much resistance so it might be blocked or caught by long thread? but - to answer your question, I have not, nor plan to open up the heads. good luck!

@FamousJett 8 лет назад

Love the video - but didn't help my Dyson. After only a few months - think I need a new motor?! Crazy.

@TomStrong 8 лет назад

+Jett Chebry Thats not good. As it under a year old, Dyson should deal with that under warrenty. You should contact them.

@johnwoody9505 7 лет назад

Hi Tom, great video, I had already cleared a blockage in the head but was trying to find the 'rubber flap' referred to in another thread somewhere, picked up your clip. Found from your clip I could get the whole roller out for cleaning, our machine is a different model to yours. Watched till the end just because I like your presentation methodology. I do have a pair of forceps I always use for getting out grot, just like the ones below, good value for a pack of 20. www.medical-world.co.uk/p/disposable-single-use-instruments-packs/instruments/disposable-forceps/forceps-dressing-lister-sinus-15cm-disposable-sterile-stainless-steel-single-use-x-20/949 Cheers, John.

@TomStrong 7 лет назад

Forceps should be given free with every Dyson! Glad my video helped vicariously! (I do have a dedicated 'roller remove' video that would have been far far shorter!!)

@johnwoody9505 7 лет назад

"Forceps should be given free with every Dyson! ", never thought of that, great idea!! John

@keetasmithy684 9 лет назад

You have saved me a lot of money as I thought it was a mechanical fault.....not so...blockage. I had no idea how to unblock it but you have patiently explained it and hey presto, my dyson with the aid of my wire coathanger ( last step!) is now working perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you!

@rohinibandaru5755 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot for the video. Very well explained. Got a little plastic stuck, all I needed was torch and wire hanger.

I've emptied and cleaned my Dyson DC44 according to the instructions since I purchased it about 3 months ago but already there is a smell of dogs in it. Is there a way to get rid of this horrible smell?

@canineskeleton 10 лет назад

So helpful. I could see no visible blockages and the motor sounded fine. However, I kept smelling a wet dog smell even after cleaning the filter and thinking all blockages were cleared. I went ahead and took the brush bar out like you suggested and could not believe what I pulled out of that little rectangular area. Was really amazing. And looking at it from the other end it looked completely clean. I am thrilled. Smells and works like new! Careful with the hanger though. I did get one stuck. Luckily got it out. I found a skinny bottle brush to be easier and less stressful.

@TomStrong 10 лет назад

Glad my video was of help. I think your bottle brush idea is a great idea!

@laughinglinda1 8 лет назад

that was supposed to say DIY! lol Ab Fab it's working now thank you very much

@alvingoh2193 8 лет назад

Bought a DC45 yesterday but took no less than 15 minutes for the brush head to trap some weird obstacle and make a painful slapping noise. You video was exactly what I was looking for and some weird plastic fell out as soon as pulled the brushhead out. Watched the rest of your video anyway even though there was nothing to clear. Very clear and informative, now I know how to take care of the baby in the coming years. Thanks dude.

BENDABLE LETTER OPENER (with tape)!!! Allows you to attack clog from both sides. I wrapped letter opener in tape to catch deep down clog. Also was able to bend letter open to remove clog from the bottom.

Thanks for sharing your tip!

@5678-d3j 7 лет назад

very helpful video thank you! Would you rinse the tube with water?

@TomStrong 7 лет назад

I have never needed to personally. (You also have o be very careful not to wet the electric contacts that go through the tube and to make sure it is bone dry before re-use)

@sheenagord 4 года назад

Thank you! I have just managed to fix the blocked head on my DC44. I didn't have a wire coat hanger, so used scissors, a sharp wooden skewer and a table knife to clear the solidly compacted blockage. Most of it got pushed through to the brush area so I was able to tease it out from there. It took me over half an hour, but I'm so chuffed with myself, and grateful to have found your video!

@TomStrong 4 года назад

Glad my video helped unblock your DC44 and for sharing tips and tools for other people.

+Mary Sailors I am so happy that my video helped. Thanks for also taking the time to leave a comment.

@willzville1988 9 лет назад

Great review especially when you mentioned the 'diagnosis' parts. I think the best way to clear out the blockage is to use another vacuum (I use my 'real' sized Dyson), unless of course its sticky tape.

@TomStrong 9 лет назад

***** That is a good idea.. Using another vacuum cleaner to help remove jammed items. Glad you liked my video. :)

@TomStrong 11 лет назад

Purely because I make a right mess in my car and use the Animal head in my car. It is perfect and being smaller is more manoeuvrable and I can get it under seats etc far easier than the bigger 'carpet' powered head. (+We always buy the "Animal" versions - both love the purple!!)

@TomStrong 11 лет назад

TBH - We do not have pets (Although I seem to me malting hair!?!) But we have a friend who bought one on my recommendation & has two cats. She loves the smaller head as she can keep the tops of her velvet sofas clear of hair as well as the carpet where they like to lie down the most.

@timeforcoffee91 7 лет назад

can anyone help?? I've got a cordless Dyson dc44. motor end is fine, blockage clear and sounds fine. pipe is also fine. the head however spindle and then the bar stops spinning after 10 seconds or so. I've taken the head out taken hairs etc off it and popped it back in, there's no blockages inside the head itself yet the bar stops spinning after a few seconds. any ideas?

@TomStrong 7 лет назад

Does this happen to both powered heads ? (IE - could it be a fault in the wiring / circuitry) If only in one of the heads, still likely to be caused by the amount of resistence the motor 'feels' making it cut out. To confirm for this Does the 10 second cut out not happen when you hold the unit off any floor. ? Double check slignment of sprockets and check the pin isnt damaged bent inside the roller brush is all I can suggest worth trying again: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_0a71p84sp8.html

@ianmulvaney2242 7 лет назад

Thanks for you help. I also found a bicycle spoke with a slight hook on the end is really good for removing blockages fom the head.

@TomStrong 7 лет назад

Glad it helped. :) Nice tip about using the wire from a bicycle spoke! Anything that you can fashion a hook or a bend that still has some rigidity seems to be the ticket!

@BOBBYNBOO 8 лет назад

Could you show how to remove the clear canister so it can be cleaned?

@TomStrong 8 лет назад

The clear canister can not be removed from the cyclone section. However, if you remove the tube and motor, apart from the wires conncting through the unit, you get left with 98% plastic amd rubber. That coukd probably stand a carefull amount ot rinsing out and then left to dry for some days before use...

@scottpeebles4328 7 лет назад

Hi, I have a problem whereby the flap that opens and closes to allow dust to go into the canister has come out of its slot. This was partly my fault. The motor seemed to be pulsing when I was trying to use the vacuum and in order to stop this happening I realised that I had to free the flap by pushing it with my finger. The second time I did this the flap came out of its slot and it seems to be almost impossible to fit the flap back into its slot due to the very small opening in the grey nozzle (front) or from inside the canister. I need to remove the grey nozzle from the canister. There is a small screw on the inside of the nozzle and I think that there are a couple of catches on the sides that you can see through the plastic. However, afresh removing the screw the nozzle seems to be fixed to the canister. Can anyone help me to remove the nozzle from the canister please? Thanks

@pcmacbob2479 10 лет назад

I have had issues where there was blockage in the cyclone unit and when I call dyson they tell me not to put under water. I have looked at the unit and if it is removed from the power unit it is all plastic and the metal connectors should not be affected by a little water on them if you put in the sun after cleaning or let it dry for about a day before putting back together. When you unlock the collector bin to dump the bin there is a red lever that will allow you to remove the cyclone bin from the power head. You can remove the collector bin from the cyclone unit and I completely washed them both in water and there was a lot of dirt built up in the cyclone unit around the small holes and I was able to free them up. Just make sure that you don't put the unit back together until about a day to allow it to completely dry out and use a towel to help also. I even used the power head to help dry the cyclone unit with the air it produces when you press the power button. Just don't put the power head under water or you are the dumbest person that I know.

oreck have much better suction and pick up alot better than dysons. dyson are just marketed better and better promoted to the general public plus they look alot better than the oreck as the orecks are big clumsy stupid looking old fashioned but if you want a vaccum with better suction then the oreck is for you if your not looking for looks or to be one of these people " i have a dyson" if you want to be one of the people with a nice looking vaccum and to be one of these " i have a dyson" then the dyson is for you .

FYI the inlet flap is sprung loaded to stop dust falling out when the unit is off and inverted. To free it off strip the unit down and soak and slosh the part with the flap in hot water. The flap will then rest in the position of blocking the inlet pipe. Happy to help.

@TomStrong 8 лет назад

I suggest you check your filter has been washed and dried thoroughly.

+M33GAA Glad to read my video helped. I alos love to read what other people have used to unblock their blockages!! Thx.

Thanks very much, Tom! I had a blockage behind the brush that I wasn't aware that I could easily get at. My DC 35 no longet starts and stops and works like new. Thanks again!

@TomStrong 10 лет назад

You are most welcome! I am glad I could help.

this is such a poor design for head cleaning, ridiculous

@TomStrong 7 лет назад

It is a great hand vacuum, but does jam far too easily. (Hence my video!) Compromise so oftern comes at a cost. Certainly can not replace your main upright cleaner, but great for spot cleans and the daily kitchen floor etc.

Thank you, Tom, I had just fixed the blockages.

@TomStrong 5 лет назад

Great to read that you are all up and running again!

@Annie1962 6 лет назад

oo learned something. Thanks. My Dyson won't charge at all. Got a new battery, hope that's the issue.

@TomStrong 6 лет назад

Hope the battery gets your Dyson back and working.

@Annie1962 6 лет назад

Well...... turns out it wasn't the battery. It's the bloody charger.. AGAIN. Been through two in two years. At 65 bucks a pop I am about to let Dyson know that there's a terrible design in the charger wiring. causing it to be prone to breaking. I will now purchase a generic one, at one tenth of the price.

@TomStrong 6 лет назад

Wow - not heard any issues with that part. I guess as the USA and UK have different voltages etc that those are different country by country. In the end it is just Volts and Amps, be good if you could share the one you go for - for other users who have a similar problem. Always happy to share helpful tips.

@Annie1962 6 лет назад

Tom Strong Reviews I will... Has compatible voltage etc. I'll test it and then let you know
