HOW TO Stripdown and Refurbish a Dyson DC34 Handheld 

Perfect demonstration, I've had mine since new and thanks to you it looks and performs like it did when I took it out of the box many years ago. Thank you very much xx

Thank you! I did it. Hadn't cleaned mine since I got it in 2013! Ten Years! It is my favorite thing in my house, I use it multiple times a week. It worked. It is fabulous. Grateful for your video.

Very helpful. It's impressive how the dust is compressed to the point of looking mineral inside.

So I was in the process of taking mine apart as someone (cough cough wife cough cough) hoovered up some small pasta pieces my daughter dropped on the floor. We then went away for a month. Realised the other day it was minging inside. I got to the point where I was trying to take off the shroud and struggled. Thanks to you I saw it is removable and have since removed it ready for washing. Great video, thanks!

Brilliant, works like new. Mine is an even earlier version - orange top - just for info it needed a T10 for the inner screws and T8 for the outside one.

Thank you so much. Followed your video and refurbed my DC35.

Your video helped me a lot. Thank you so much for it!

Very informative. Nicely done.

Many thanks for the great video, helped me a lot with cleaning the Dyson 👍👍👍

This is a very nice video of how the DC34 comes apart, BUT for those of us that have the very old orange top version of this hand vac please see gregbirdseye7546’s below. I didn’t have T8 bit so I just cleaned without completely taking apart cyclone. ALSO, take precise care when reinstalling seals, they have very specific orientation and some kept trying to roll 90 degrees when I was installing (video ignored that). Taking off shroud from the old orange version was very difficult and I chipped groove so I stopped trying at that point.

Thanks a lot for your excellents explanations . I wish you a happy new year .

I had to use some brute force at times but YAY it works! Thank you

Worked nicely, thank you.

Thanks you for help! Will definitely take it apart and give it a good wash! Great video!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Most helpful. Many thanks

Thank you. I too have just saved one from the bin.

Thx, just gave mine your treatment as it was smelling very bad.

Seems very similar to my DC35. 👍

huzzah! I was wondering how to take it apart, like yours, plaster killed mine. I now have it dissasembled, cleaned and ready to be put back together, minus the unscrewing part, (don't have that screwdriver) just ran that all through the faucet to clean.

I own a DC34 Car & Auto handheld vacuum. Is there a way to take apart the canister to clean the flap of the air intake opening? My flap seems to be stuck open, so the debris falls out when I let go of the power button when held downward. There seem to be 2 torx screws, but when loosened, the solid plastic nozzle attachment will not disengage with the clear plastic container. There may be a compression fitting involved. Any hints would be appreciated. Regards!

any idea where to buy the rubber seal and gasket?

Beko1987, Hi, could you please tell me where to connect the wires from the button - filter detector?

my dc35 animal max power switch wont disengage - constantly on. how do i get it to pop out?

You saved that poor Dyson.

I have several dysons. My DC35 multifloor that I recently acquired now picks up and works fine. But after it is in use for a while the light starts flashing like the battery is dying let off the trigger and press it again and it continues working if I put it on max suction it’ll go for 30 seconds or so but the light starts flashing and cuts off and I can let off the trigger and press again and start using it again. I get the most use with max off any ideas?

I’m tackling this task and love your video so far, but I’ve hit a snag, I can’t remove the tiny screws to remove the cyclone funnels. Which screwdriver did you use?

Hi, Excellent very helpful video! :) I've just bought a cheap DC35 which is as bad really if not worse (and stinks)...but i need to get the nozzle off the bin too....how does that come off?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. At 7:03, I don't have any torx screws. Do you know if I can wash the whole purple cyclone under running water without taking it apart? I'm worried if there's any electrical components inside the purple cyclone that will get damaged from washing it under running water.

your need to work on keeping your camera over the work you are doing otherwisse the video is awesome

Hi w to clean a Motörhead dyson dc35

Where do I get the upper seal of the bin , not the lower one ? Thanks a lot

How do you strip the handle down?

That circular gasket.... The positioning?

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

No one takes the front nozzle piece off...

Would have loved if you actually opened the motor and handle... this is merely a "service" not a stripdown.

Sorry, love the video but I swear you sound and talk very similar to Johh lydon aka Johnny Rotten sex pistols. The accent and way you say certain words. Great video ❤
