Dyson V10 cyclone disassembly and cleaning. 

I would absolutely NOT recommend doing this to your V10. Its royal pain and almost impossible without risking breaking your vacuum. If you want a machine with washable cyclones get the he LG A9 or Samsung Jet.

Hey dude - great job!!! I would not have been able to do mine without your vid. Well done!

I am about to embark on this, thank you for the video. I disagree with Matthews comments, "That's how cyclones cleans themselves they get built with dirt and then it gets heavy and falls" these things are *not* self cleaning past a certain point. 3 years ago we bought a v10. works great when it's working but after 18months it started to clog in ways that regular cleaning wouldn't fix. Using a PC cleaning air blower I got it going again, huge amount of dust came out of areas you can't clean too. Now, another year+ later, it's clogged again but this time the PC air spray isn't fixing it (although it did get a lot of gunk out). My choices are: - Do something extreme like this video. or - Chuck it I figure that if I'm going to chuck it I might as well try the extreme cleaning first and if I break it I'm not worse off. If extreme cleaning it works well, I *might* consider buying another dyson in the future but the "self cleaning" sales pitch is BS. This is my third dyson but these days, there are other similar designs that look easier to maintain. I don't want to buy one every three years.

IMHO Dyson has a problem with small particles collecting throughout their vacuums. As soon as you start to disassemble the V10 you can see clumps of fine particles everywhere. Then you get to the clogged cyclones which can render the whole thing worthless and as you mention it's almost impossible to disassemble and clean without breaking it. What other vacuums have this issue? I've owned several Dyson vacs over the years and I'm done with them. There are better options with less maintenance at or below that price point.

thank you bro, I just disassembled mine with your help and as you said, holy sh** it was hard but it was the only way to make the vacuum stop smelling like literal fungi every time i wanted to clean the floor xd

Makes a mess with a vacuum; cleans it up with a vacuum. Good job !

Aside from the pain of dismantling your dyson, would you say when all is clean and re connected it’s worth it? Also Any changes in performance or did the smells go away? I can’t afford a brand new one, I got one off OfferUp, and they did say it was used for their dog, which has an odor and do see dog hair coming from inside the filter area/motor, so it’s really bothering me what’s inside and how much build is really in there before using it for my home.

Thanks fixed my V10 by taking the back section that the filter fits into and cleaning the dust from there.

Thx for ur video....very good instructions to take it a part. May I ask u where did u buy the "IFIXIT" tool case...looks like every tech should have that. Many thanks and appreciate ur detail instructions. Keep up the good work to save money in repairing by others..

To be honest, I take the 4 cross-head screw out from the filter, then the screw near the rubber seal, and then put the whole thing in the dishwasher at a lower temperature. Bring it up amazingly well, saves you from prying off the plastic pieces. If you use dishwasher salt, its basically deionised water anyway. Ive been servicing them for a while now (not for anyone paying) and never had any issues with electrical contacts or anything, but that's just me

Good job

Hello, can you please let me know which size & head screwdriver you used to open this up. My vac has broken recently and I have lost my tools bag during shifting to new home. Thanks

What do you use to clean your bin it looks brand new and the head

Hi. We own a V10 and the red rubber seal and another grey plastic piece fell off inside the dust canister. Can you help? Thx

What type of shop vacuum is that? Sounds like it has some serious balls to it.

I really want to buy the Dyson V11 Torque Drive to replace my V7 with but this seems like a royal pain in the butt to clean out. I really want all the tools and automatic suction but now I’m like maybe I should keep my V7.

Air compressor is what I’m going to try on mine. After watching this. That is fine dust. An air compressor maybe able to get rid of it.

Did you have are kirby vacuum Cleaner to

This seems like waaaaay too much work for a 'simple' cleaning to get dust and clumpage out and back to working order. We took ours apart right up to the point where screws need to be replaced. I won't be doing this. We just ordered a couple new filters and I hope that returns this monster to day-one condition.

Aligning these sections can be a real pain. I made a registration mark with a Sharpie on each piece to help me remember how to realign for reassembly.

Who was waiting for the vac tech to suck up a few screws when vacuuming the dust off the floor. 🤣

Thanks for showing, saved me frm 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I did this sime time ago. They really should make their vacuums easier to disassemble. It was a real pain.

I vacuumed some wet stuff and ever since it smells like mold

👏👏👏

Keep it in camera would help

Honestly at this point i just remove the battery and motor and dust bin from the vacuum and just wash the entire thing under a tap and let it dry for about a week when I do deep cleaning now

This is the number one reason I do not like bagless vacuum

definitely need to take off the battery first

The wire connector block to the wand are easy to take out. However a hammer pliers and screw driver is not a good idea. I use a plastic knife as a wedge. A block of wood that's the size of the connector. And lightly push the wand in with connector so that the connector slowly pushes out. The video I am showing is another person doing it the wrong way. Go to 17.28 of the video. The connector comes apart easy. Takes me a few seconds to do it my way. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V0g75q8SAuU.html

The irony of needing a vacuum to clean your vacuum.

What a wally

I have a Dyson V10 that I have only used a dozen times. It is fully charged and a little light on it indicates the Filter needs to be cleaned and the vacuum keeps stalling when I try to us it. But after watching this video I think my Dyson will end up in my trash barrel and I'll go back to my old vac with a cord that was quick and easy to clean out!!! I will never buy another Dyson Vac!!!

So don't buy a V10 then! Bad enough that every screw has a different head, but that bit from 5:00 would be impossible to find.

Prob be a 10min video if the guy used a drill not a screw driver lmao

They spent so much time and effort engineering thest things and charging you quadruple the price, and then they have a vacuum that doesn't pick up powder, without self-clogging. What a travesty.

The reason why Dyson makes it so difficult because they don't want you in there which I completely understand. Cyclones cleans themselves and every once in a while you could help it by taking your other vacuum and clean it out without taking it apart. Taking it apart will AVOID YOUR WARRANTY!

Your instructions are no good. The job is tougher than it looks. I followed the video the best I could and took everything apart. Since I don't have another vacuum cleaner, I used pressure washer to spray away all the dirt/dust and put it back together. But vacuum won't turn on any more. Sending it back for warranty repair.
