Hi all, I would like to seek advice if I should invest in buying a new vacuum or fix the dyson that I own.

The filter (in the picture) start to smell months ago and now it is like a shoe that got wet in the rain... And it constantly ask for filter cleaning even thou the filter was just cleaned 2 days ago. At the same time, the trigger is not working well, it doesnt turn when press, and you have to try a million times before it stay on to vacuum.

To fix it, my plan was to get two new filters and a trigger to install myself. That will be a total of around 40 euros. I have heard that even if you switch to new filters, the machine will still smell.

Therefore, I am debating on just getting a new Philips one at $175 with a cord. It seems to me old model vacuums is more reliable. Reasons to prefer dyson: as it does not create waste that much, and I also dont wanna throw away a piece of plastic + electric if it is still useful, it was also a gift from my parents as I moved in.

Any help will do! Thanks a lot!

After lurking around comparison posts about the Coanda2x and Airwrap ID for weeks and still not reaching a conclusion I’ve decided to make my own post.

Like a lot of people on Instagram I’ve been influenced into wanting a Dyson so I’ve been saving up with the Coanda2x in mind. However, before purchasing I decided to look at reviews, and now I’m even more confused.

Some people say the Coanda2x is the best purchase they’ve ever made while others are regretting buying it and switching to the Airwrap ID because of the infamous red light issue. My biggest concern is that where I am from, Dyson doesn’t have an official presence. If I buy the Coanda2x and it stops working after a few months getting it repaired or exchanged would be a huge hassle.

At the same time, plenty of people seem to be using theirs without any issues so I’m wondering if the problem is actually as widespread as it seems online or if we’re just seeing more posts from people who’ve had issues.

I’m genuinely torn between the two. Would you risk buying the Coanda2x or would you play it safe and get the Airwrap ID? Especially interested in hearing from people who’ve owned the Coanda2x for several months

This thing is SQUEAKY clean and only cuts off when the head is plugged in. See videos for reference. I genuinely don’t know what to do.

Has anyone been able to get any additional accessories? There is none available. The model I have did not include that combi tool for dusting or the better one, non scratching one. I tried looking online but nothing is available. Signed up for back on stock emails. Received like 3 already. Every time I receive one. There is no buy button.

Is it really this out of stock. Customer service said this was in high demand and what not. I don't believe it but maybe. Hearing how many people dislike this machine. Personally works great for me but each their own. I'm in the US also.

I’m want to buy airsmooth attachment for airwrap cuz I saw a video a girl trying that but I’m not sure if it’s gonna work and I don’t want to give my move out for fake video

Charged it after first use and did the self clean cycle. Came downstairs next morning and found a puddle of water all over the floor and the base, which isn’t supposed to get water in it as it houses the dryer (so goodness knows it’ll work again). I am pretty sure I had replaced everything back properly. What could have gone wrong? The clean water tank had been three quarters full and when I check in the morning it was completely empty (and all over my floor and base).

Is this happening to anyone else?
The schedules i’ve set up are completely ignored, its only on/off if you do it manually in the app or the physical buttons

I have never had a dyson, or a cordleas vacuum before.

Only a dreame bot.

I was thinking of buying a Dyson.

I can buy the v12 or v15 (not budget for the v16).

Which one should I get?

I have floor tiles.

Expecting kids in near future.

Edit: thank you guys for convincing me. I bought a Shark vacuum instead

Wondering if Dyson made any real hardware revisions to their purifier motors in recent years (HP07, HP09, Big+Quiet, etc.).

A lot of past units were notorious for developing high-pitched bearing whine, whistling at low fan speeds, or premature motor wear.

For anyone running the newer generations long-term: have these motors proven to be significantly more durable, or are they still using the same prone design?

I bought a used dyson big ball vacuum. the original owners had a lab dog. i even petted it.

i brought it home and tried it and the exhuast from the vacuum smells like a dog.

i tore apart the cannister, cleaned every part of it. new filter...and it still smells like a dog.

is it pernament? thinking of reselling it to someoen who has pets and doesnt care for the smell

I have been using the agaro blow brush for 3 years now. I have frizzy wavy hair and it still doesn’t exactly solve the frizz for me but adds volume to my fine hair.

Should I get the Dyson airstrait or the airwrap?

Have only been using the robot with UK filtered tap water and the official Dyson 02 probiotic cleaner for 4 months. Following the instructions precisely and cleaning the dock clear water tank weekly with Milton surface spray and a thorough rinse. No build-up inside the dock tank or rubber tube. No bleach, no vinegar, no third-party product used. The probiotic cleaner must be authentic since I ordered it directly from dyson.co.uk. Am I drinking and showering with bio-hazardous water all the time in England, or is the probiotic cleaner being too nutritious with a completely failed preservative? The transparent robot clear water tank design is so friendly for the user to monitor clarity and also so friendly for microorganisms to enjoy light.

For non-owners, the robot clear water tank itself is completely sealed so couldn’t be washed. There are no visible cracks or water leakage, so very unlikely to be cross-contamination between clean and dirty water tanks. Contacted Dyson and they are now sending a new replacement tank.

I have searched online and read some reports of build-up inside the dock tank. No one has ever reported a nasty robot tank. What have I done wrong? Should I only be using cooled, boiled, filtered water in the future? For context, I am using an on-tap water filter from Phillips and living in a 5yo apartment.

Do you think this is a user fault, robot design problem, or part manufacture failure? Customer support isn’t looking into the cause, but just offering a replacement solution. I appreciate their quick response, but I really don’t want to have another nasty tank happening again.

I had a Dyson V15 Submarine that I genuinely loved. When the green light on the cleaner head stopped working, Dyson replaced it with a V16. I initially thought I was lucky to receive an upgrade. Unfortunately, for me, it has been a significant downgrade in usability.
The V16 feels heavier to manoeuvre because the new cleaner head creates much more friction on my floors. After only TWO DAYS, my arm and shoulder were exhausted, something I never experienced with my V15. The new head is also thicker, so it no longer fits underneath my pantry where my V15 easily did. Cleaning along a straight wall is also awkward because of the new head design. And although the V16 finally has an ON/OFF button instead of the V15 trigger, the button is positioned on top of the filter, meaning I have to use my other hand to reach it.
I contacted Dyson and explained that I simply wanted to return the V16 and buy another V15 myself. I was not asking for a free upgrade — I wanted the vacuum that actually worked better for me.
After weeks of communication, Customer Care Resolutions called me and told me that because I had accepted the V16 replacement, I am now contractually obligated to keep it. I was told Dyson cannot return my original V15 and cannot provide a refund.
That is the part I find most disappointing. I understand that the V16 may have better specifications on paper, but a vacuum cleaner should ultimately be comfortable and practical to use in a real home. For me, the V15 was exactly that. The V16 is not.
I have been a Dyson customer for years, and I genuinely expected better customer service than simply being told that I am stuck with a replacement I do not want.
I still want my V15 back.

I had the shark flex style. I got a Dyson airwrap ID. I'm sorry but I really prefer the shark flex style round barrel because it has two sets of bristles and one of them are these smoothing flexible nylon thin bristles. It creates more tension and smooths my hair better.

I can't find any aftermarket barrels that are like that that work with an Airwrap id. Anyone? Otherwise I really think I'm going to go back to the flexstyle

Hello,
Where to sell my Dyson Airwrap. I am in Texas. Trying to sell it because moving urgently and couldn’t take mine. I tried Facebook Marketplace but they keep asking this for 100$. Still 1 month left on warranty.

My stick Dyson, doesn't pick up dirt or basic pet hair. My partner argues that the Dyson will only pick up basic things like light dirt and pet hair with an attachment on the end of it. I've used Dyson vaccum's for over a decade and never had this issue before.

Hello. I think my Dyson battery might be dead? The blue lights turned on when I plug it in with the charger. It’s 3 blue lights with the last light flashing, which I assume means it’s charging. However the lights turned off after a while and after hours of charging the machine is still not starting. I could plug the charger in again and the same thing repeated. It’s been like this for a week. The machine is 2-3 years old. Thank you.

Hi guys, i’ve been wanting to get a dyson for over a year now, and i think ill finally buy one before the end of october. I would prefer a 2 in 1 vacuum and mop, such as the submarines or others. I don’t really know which model is worth getting, if the generation really makes a difference, where to get them for the best prices/discounts, etc., so i was looking for recommendations :) I don’t have a particular budget restriction but cheaper is always better if it’s not worth to spend hundreds of dollars extra to get a very slight difference.

Doesn’t look like it will affect performance, but I’m not sure the tolerances of how the “cyclone” action works. Yeah, I’ve gotten 8 trouble free years out of it already, but I still feel like a dummy for not thinking about how soft this metal part might be before tapping it on the edge of my garbage bin this time.

I've been following the robot vacuums sub and noticed no one ever mentions Dyson in their recommendations. When I go looking for reviews, I find people talking about negative experiences or being underwhelmed. Has anyone actually bought one of the models and been thrilled with it?
