TDL- Dyson Hack
Problem with your suction? how about this nice little hack to not only get you going, but boost your suction power!
I'm pretty convinced that you will not need this filter unless you have mad allergies so you have nothing to lose trying it if you can't get your existing filter cleaned out!

I washed mine and it helped greatly. And used it for a while without the filter.

@paulmaude1331 3 года назад

Just seen this and thank you very informative 👍 However rather ripping it apart on the slots on the outer blue casing I have run a needle through the slots and through the filter to create small holes yet keeping the filter in place.. Still washing this out and every now and again a few more holes...works a treat

@RetroBoxRoom 6 лет назад

Something like what was in at stock, but in quarters - you might be able to squash the different parts in.

Still pretty odd sizes arnt they,

Washed mine for the first time, let it dry completely, and now whenever I put it back, it doesn't work anymore. I think what you explained, the fine dust turning into some sort of gunk or something is what has happened. So would've been better off not washing it :/ I'll probs end up getting a replica replacement, and in the meantime remove the filter like you showed! Thanks for this video, very helpful :) And with Dyson, terrible customer service, and also expensive to replace anything. Overall happy with the hoover, have had it working for years and does the job well, though not impressed by the company itself!

@backofficeshow 9 месяцев назад

I think the robot vacuums from the far East have largely replaced the Dyson in my household. I have a corded upright that occasionally gets taken out for the real jobs. These are just a glorified dustbuster really compared to regular mains units

@justinhu8 6 лет назад

You need to wash the filter every month or more often if you hoover more often. If you don't, it'll eventually cause the filter to block up completely. It's all plainly laid out in the manual.

@Bassmunchkin1 2 года назад

If you just wash the filter with clean cold water once a month and make sure it is completely dry before installing just like the instructions state, it will work perfectly just like my V8 has done for the past 3 years. If it pulses, leave it to dry longer. P.S. never use soap to clean the filters

@StripedLime Год назад

Spoke with their local Customer care... they are sending a charger replacement within 3 days... Let's see if it helps out.

@MrKkprince 11 месяцев назад

The air is EXITING from the filter that is then NOT PROTECTING THE ENGINE AT ALL but is preventing the dust from exiting all over in your house .....

@ZunarZulfiqar 5 лет назад

The problem isn't the filter in the back. It could be that the pre motor filter is dirty. Pull on the little post on the top of the machine to remove it and wash it under worm water. It could also be a blockage in the intake or dust blocking the holes in the mesh inside the machine. What is happening is that the airflow is being restricted, but not enough to trigger the auto shut off. Adding the rear filter is just pushing it over the edge.

@backofficeshow 5 лет назад

Already done that, it was definitely the rear filter. Runs so much better without it.

@ZunarZulfiqar 5 лет назад

@@backofficeshow Something else is wrong. That shouldn't happen. Call Dyson. They will help you figure out what happened. They have very good customer service. Those filters are rated for lifetime use. Also, try removing the cyclone assembly and washing it with warm water. Pull up on the red handle on the top of the machine. Once you open it, you will see a large red tab on the cyclone assembly. Press it in and pull it the rest of the way out. Try watching a disassembly video and take it apart to see if there might be dust packed inside the cyclones.

@outdoorsurvival7730 3 года назад

Those rear filters restrict the power when it’s blocked and u can’t use it on max power when u remove it they run fine so get it cleaned properly

@FelipeBravo-dq8mt Год назад

bro, if you notice that blockage is because the blockage could be placed on the other filter that is on the top of the main body that you have on your hands. check that first before gave unacurate info.

@methanoid 6 лет назад

Just jubilee clip a K&N filter to your Dyson for a few extra HP ;-)

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

No filters = maximum HP's! Let's kick up some dust!

@HDXFH 5 лет назад

LMAO 😂🤣

@ksull72487 4 года назад

backofficeshow Hahahaha! K&N myth busted. Filters provide no extra power in cars. They just protect the engine. Most cars like my BMW M2 already designed to receive the best air flow and protection. A K&N may help a Ford Escort which isn’t really designed for performance. Same principle here. The hepa is just their to help absorb dust you kick up. But they greatly reduce flow. I’m sure it probably does help some. As for protecting the vaccum. I’m sure theirs some sort of paper media and crap inside the vac itself to make sure dust never hits the electronics. We didn’t need that filter. An actual vaccum filter on the other hand I can understand. But not a hepa. That things to not going to clean air as you run it. Takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to exchange air.

@backofficeshow 4 года назад

It's on the outlet, so better off in the bin - it's like a pollen filter for your house 😂

@johnfrancis4748 2 года назад

Use a small engine air filter

@joshuaboote8868 3 года назад

You can pick them up on eBay for £3 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Bodzio1982 2 года назад

It didn’t work because you haven’t dry it up long enough. It won’t work if it’s damp. Hair dryer works well with this.

@dennysedwk3757 3 года назад

Yeah, I have a great vacuum with nice filtration and I like to ruin it, cose I don want to buy a filter that cost 20 bucks

@mikespikeey4625 6 лет назад

but if you get rid of the dust there no need to wash it then

@EdwinNoorlander 6 лет назад

Ore 3D print a adapter and make your own filter.

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

It's ok, I think I will survive the miniscule amount of dust that would come out. Maybe if I had terrible allergies I'd worry, but it would probably be easier not to keep pets 😂

@dvk323 2 года назад

Why not just bought and replace this filter by new one?

@Witschor 3 года назад

You should wash ist reverse from outside to the Inside. You did not understand , that dirt is to big to get washed through the Filter. Thats how a Filter works, clean it reverse of its operating Direction!

@backofficeshow 3 года назад

I do understand, and this still got blocked. We have replaced this with a Gtech AirRam MK2 and its out performing the Dysons in every way. I have seen so many broken and poorly manufactured Dysons I have no faith in the company.

@brianjonesg8aso403 Год назад

Dyson Hoover? I can see it's a Dyson and not a Hoover!. Hoover is NOT a generic term for a vacuum cleaner!

@backofficeshow Год назад

Its both a verb and a noun in the Oxford English dictionary. If anything its probably the most prime example of a generic trademark there currently is.

@jacktheripper6716 6 лет назад

Shame most today's tech is design to fail after X months thats why I use a simple bagless from argos does the job.

@tonyrichardson9600 3 года назад

You didn't really take it apart did you?. All you ended up doing was ripping out the filter lol. These are quite cheap to buy. Not worth all the hassle you went through. Don't know were the fixing was lol. All you done was knacker up the filter

Filters are very cheap on ebay, buy a new one.

@MorrellMushy 6 лет назад

Just buy a decent Vacuum in the first place. Replaced my Dyson after 3 months due to horrendous battery life. Half the house cleaned before it would die. Picked up OK but no better than any 100 quid corded.

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

I'm happy enough with it. We have a few real cleaners for the full Monty if necessary but this does 90% of the stuff the kids drop over the house

@blakaeg 6 лет назад

Agreed

@bazza5699 6 лет назад

really winds me up products like this. where you buy the main device cheap and then pay through the nose for cartridges to actually use it..same with printers/inks. seems like dyson replaced the cheap bag with an expensive filter

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

It's a filter on the exhaust so not really needed. They say these are washable, but I guess your mileage varies

@bazza5699 6 лет назад

great video thou doc. :) no reflection on you.

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

No worries, I'm not a Dyson fanboy by any means, bit I suspect within a few years all domestic cleaners will be rechargable. Should be interesting when there is more competition

@justinhu8 6 лет назад

They're washable. If you don't wash it often enough, then you'll end up with it in this condition.

@blakaeg 6 лет назад

+backofficeshow Rechargeable cleaners at the present time cannot offer the deep clean a mains powered machine does for a continuous about of time. for example, renovating and deep cleaning when moving furniture, a cordless just doesn't cut it. Unless they significantly improve their battery reliability, run time and charging time, then I do not think cordless will completely replace a mains powered model. I work in the industry so can tell you what the customers requires and uses etc. Cordless isn't ideal for all.

@blakaeg 6 лет назад

Basically you own an overpriced expensive piece of plastic that has no where the durability of a mains powered SEBO or Miele. The filters are NEEDED to stop fine dust going into the motor from the cyclones that can possibly damage it!! Do remember that the Dyson motor contains a lot of electronics that must be kept clean from fine dust that the cyclones let through, so it's VERY important that the filters are in place. Not to mention long hair that can escape the cyclones and end up in the filter or in the motor if no filter in place!!

@backofficeshow 6 лет назад

No that filter is on the exhaust as a HEPA filter. Also calm down, people are allowed to own things you don't wish to own

@smarmosaur 5 лет назад

What a maroon. Think about what you wrote, the exhaust filter, the one on the tail-end is stopping dust from reaching the electronics it just passed by?

@StripedLime Год назад

The unit is not even 6 months old and the is not blinking blue light while charging... Any solution would be welcome!
