How to disassemble the brush from a Dyson vacuum cleaner? - About equipment

More and more people are becoming happy owners of new vertical vacuum cleaners. The Dyson vacuum cleaner has won the special love of housewives - powerful, lightweight, controllable. You can also clean it from dust with one movement of your hand. But superficial cleaning is not enough. Periodically, the device must be disassembled and the parts washed under water.

DESIGN FEATURES

● Ball™ technology

Due to the fact that the body has the shape of a ball and a low center of gravity, the vacuum cleaner moves obediently and quickly, turns around on the spot, deftly avoids corners and various obstacles, does not cling to folds of carpets and maneuvers between furniture.

● Push-button dust bin cleaning system

The dust container is emptied with just one press of a button. The dust collector is easily detached from the body and installed in place, and its transparency allows you to see the degree of filling.

● Movable nozzle for hard floors

In addition to the turbo brush, the kit also includes this nozzle with a movable mount and a narrow base, which gives it extraordinary maneuverability and the ability to reach those places that are often left unreached when cleaning: the spaces around the legs of furniture, between and under furniture.

How often can you clean a household appliance?

The device is equipped with a dust container, which should be emptied every three cleanings, even if it is not yet full. If, after using the device once, a lot of debris has accumulated in the dust collector, be sure to shake it out.

Wired and wireless models are equipped with two preliminary and final cleaning filters: the first product must be washed at least 1-2 times a month.

Fine filters, depending on the material they are made of, can be:

Reusable - made of fluoroplastic fibers filled with activated carbon. Such devices can be washed as they become dusty.
Disposable - made of paper, fiberglass with antimicrobial impregnation. You cannot blow air or place the filter in water to remove dirt - the product will be deformed and lose its properties. If dust accumulates in the device, it should be replaced with a new one.

IMPORTANT! Disassemble the device and remove dust from its internal surfaces at least once every six months. If you often use a vacuum cleaner, carry out this procedure once every three months.

Assembly and subsequent installation

When assembling, all parts of the turbo brush must be firmly fixed. The rotating element is the main component of the nozzle. If it is not securely fastened, it may fly off during operation. To do this, after removal, the element must be clearly placed in the landing recess. After this, check its performance by rotating the unit with your fingers. If nothing interferes with the rotation, then close the plug and secure the lid. Then install the turbo brush in place.

Vacuum cleaner manufacturers recommend cleaning the turbo brush after every second cleaning in a room where there are pets. If there are no pets, then you need to clean it after the fourth cleaning. If you follow these simple rules, the nozzle will last for many years. The bristles will remain clean, and the power of the vacuum cleaner and its motor will not be affected.

General information

Dyson does not produce washable vacuum cleaners, focusing all its attention on the production of dry cleaning devices, creating both battery-powered and mains-powered models. Their common feature is the absence of a garbage bag, which replaces a cyclone filter with a dust collection container. The filtration system includes several cones that suck in dusty air at high speed.

The laws of physics cause dust to settle on the walls of the bowl. The motor is protected by a washable filter. In addition to convenient disposal of the container, the advantage of such a system is that the power of the vacuum cleaner does not depend on the amount of debris it absorbs. Dyson vacuum cleaners are not so widely known in Russia, since they do not have aggressive advertising in this market. However, Dyson vacuum cleaners belong to the innovative premium segment.

The Dyson range consists of 16 vacuum cleaners. More precisely, these devices bear little resemblance to conventional vacuum cleaners. All of them are very compact in size and weigh less than 2 kg. They are also combined with a lithium-ion battery and a charging station, which allows you to clean the waste container with one button without disconnecting the attachments. The rotating anti-static brush is not unique to Dyson, but is present in all of their models.

Unique Apple-like design

What can we say - Dyson has its own signature style.
When you walk through a consumer electronics store, your eye always stops at vacuum cleaners of this brand. They look among ordinary vacuum cleaners like a spaceship in a medieval port. Very cool - turbines, metal, shine. Usually, when disassembling such devices, you get the impression that you are looking at a short stump of something larger. But this particular vacuum cleaner is very cool even without the pipe, turning it into something like a scooter from Star Wars. When the V8 hangs in its base on the wall, the resemblance to a spaceship only intensifies. Who would have thought that such a prosaic device as a vacuum cleaner looks like a rocket on the launch pad?

However, not a single element of the Dyson V8 stands out. The design and appearance are laconic. Harmony of technology and design, in a word. It seems that the company's engineers have a connection with the Cupertino developers. In my apartment, where the iPad and iPhone are the basis of style, the Dyson V8 looks great. I can't imagine anything cooler.

Pairs perfectly with Apple technology. With any modern technology.

Engine care rules

It is not recommended to clean the motor yourself at home. It is best to entrust this procedure to service center specialists.

In order to remove dust from the motor, you need to:

tighten the bolts on the device body;
remove the dust collector and open it;
remove dust from parts using a brush;
clean the board.

Important! The integrity of the elements and the location of the wires must not be violated.

How to wash the outside and inside after cleaning?

The algorithm for cleaning cyclone devices is similar to cleaning other vacuum cleaners:

disconnect the device from the power supply;
disassemble the vacuum cleaner after studying its operating instructions;
wash all removable elements;
remove the rear engine cover, remove dust from the engine;
assemble the device, turn it on and check its operation.

IMPORTANT! It is strictly unacceptable to wash the parts of the vacuum cleaner with hot water and hard sponges. It is also prohibited to use preparations containing acids or alkalis to remove contaminants. Abrasive products can damage plastic components of household appliances.

Cleaning the attachments from hair and fur

The brushes of the vacuum cleaner can work due to the force of the sucked air (the quality of cleaning with the nozzle in this case depends on the power of the cyclone device) or from an electric drive that rotates the roller in autonomous mode.

Manufacturability in details

Power and equipment are not everything. The coolest thing about my allergies is that Dyson vacuum cleaners have recommendations from the British Foundation for People with Allergic Diseases, the Institute of Immunology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Moscow Research Institute of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery of Rosmedtekhnologii. You guessed correctly - about the benefits of using vacuum cleaners of this brand to combat allergies. Just a week later the effect began to be felt: the eternal runny nose disappeared .

They apply to the compact Dyson V8 in the same way as to the V6. 15 tiny cyclones separate the air in the can from the collected dust using a patented 2 Tier Radial™ , and drive it through a filter system. It purifies the air no worse than a specialized device. No smell of dust, no noise. (According to marketers, the vacuum cleaner filters particles down to 0.3 microns - and I am inclined to believe them).

Reading reviews of the previous generation of portable Dysons, I was afraid that the new vacuum cleaner would squeal like Sarah Jane Ferridge or Marika Schonberg. But no. The company's engineers did a tremendous job.

I did not hear any high-frequency howls during testing and subsequent operation. The sound is similar to the quiet rumble of an old Cadillac - impressive, bassy and very quiet compared to all vacuum cleaners I know. Very nice. You close your eyes and it’s like you’re driving a muscle car. This effect was achieved through a sophisticated system of soundproofing elements.

Even the cabin of a passenger plane would be envious of this. There is a special casing for the entire engine compartment. There is a filter at the outlet of the garbage disposal. And even in front of the air release valve there is its own filter!

Recommendations

The internal surfaces of a household appliance are also susceptible to contamination over time, so clean them every six months using a dry soft cloth or a disinfectant wipe.

In case of significant accumulations of dust in the device, wash the surfaces with a neutral detergent (soap solution), then wipe the treated areas dry and leave the device to dry disassembled for two days.

Also regularly wipe the outer sides of the case and the handle with a dry cloth , and wash it with a mild detergent every six months or a year (depending on the intensity of the formation of dirt).

ATTENTION! Before the cleaning procedure, soak a cloth in the product and wring it out so that a large amount of moisture does not get into the device, which can lead to oxidation of the conductive contacts and damage to the device.

Take it apart and look! maybe the belt came off?

A common problem is the contact that goes to the brush. And unfortunately you can’t get to it. The entire brush needs to be replaced.

problems with the brush motor or its power supply

There is a motor on the brush itself (located on the side of the brush), Dyson does not supply motors for brushes, but you can contact any service center with a request to replace the motor. The average cost of work will be 1000-1500 rubles.

What is a turbo brush?

A turbo brush is a special attachment for a vacuum cleaner, which looks like a roller with bristles arranged in a spiral. Most modern vacuum cleaners come with it. But if you have an older model, then you can simply purchase it separately. Universal turbo nozzles are suitable for vacuum cleaners of most models and brands.

The rotation speed of the roller on the turbo brush is adjusted automatically. So, on softer surfaces the brush will have a higher rotation speed, and when cleaning hard surfaces (tiles or linoleum), the rotation speed will be slower.

Thanks to the nozzle, which looks like a rotating roller with stiff bristles, the quality of cleaning various contaminated surfaces is significantly improved. This is especially true for carpeted surfaces.

There are two types of turbo brushes, which differ in the type of drive. These are mechanical type and electric. In the mechanical type, air is blown into the brush, due to which it begins to function. At the same time, the speed of rotation of the roller is directly affected by the power of the vacuum cleaner itself.

The second type is electric, which is capable of cleaning various surfaces only under the influence of its own energy. This device has a built-in electric drive, and the brush operates completely autonomously. That is, there is no need to connect to any vacuum cleaner. The rotation speed of the turbo brush roller depends only on the basic technical characteristics of this device.

And if the mechanical type is quite budget-friendly, but at the same time greatly simplifies the task of cleaning the room, then the electric type of turbo brush is not affordable for every housewife, since its cost is quite high.

Preface

I love good technology, but I buy it very carefully. The market is full of premium devices that do not meet their own quality standards. Huge press attention is focused on smartphones and computers, which are examined almost under a microscope and criticize every detail. Household appliances rarely receive the same scrupulous attention.

I honestly admit: my wife and I bought our first cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner very carefully, having read dozens of reviews and interviewed friends who had dealt with Dyson before. Having found out everything about its capabilities, we finally decided. This happened more than two years ago, and to this day we only clean the apartment with him alone.

While I was personally pleased with the V8, there were a few inconveniences that remained, including the not-so-long runtime. The battery is still alive after 3 years, but this does not change the situation: cleaning was initially possible only for 25-30 minutes at minimum power. Often we had to hurry.

Therefore, the 60 minutes of operation of the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro on a single charge, as well as several other useful improvements already in the first days of testing, made the new model a complete upgrade over the previous one. I was also delighted with the kit itself.

Disassembling Dyson vacuum cleaners for cleaning

Even though vacuum cleaners are important cleaning tools, they also need to be cleaned from time to time. In order for Dyson equipment to serve for a long time and without interruption, it needs to be looked after and cleaned. It is also recommended to regularly carry out preventive maintenance: change filters and dust collectors, clean nozzles.

How to disassemble and clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner

To clean the Dyson vacuum cleaner, you need to make sure that the device is not energized. All Dyson devices have elements that require cleaning:

removable container for collecting garbage;
several types of nozzles;
cyclone;

Additionally, some models are equipped with:

corrugated hoses;
telescopic or solid tubes;
filters before and/or after the engine.

How to clean hair and fur from attachments

In order to clean the vacuum cleaner brush, it is disassembled and the roller (or rollers) of the nozzle are released. Use scissors and tweezers to remove long hair and fur. All other debris from the roller and nozzle is swept away with a brush, then the parts are wiped with a napkin.

Using the TangleFree mini turbo brush allows you to efficiently remove animal hair and hair, while the cleaning process of the nozzle does not require the use of scissors. Debris is easily swept away with a brush. For high-quality and quick cleaning of the mini turbo brush, you can use the crevice nozzle.

Cleaning the filter

If you need to clean a vacuum cleaner with a cyclone mechanism, you need to determine which filter it is equipped with. The package may include:

washable pre-engine filters;
washable microfilter located after the engine;
HEPA fine filters.

Washable filters, after removal, are cleaned under running cold water, with gentle tapping to speed up the cleaning process. After washing, the filter should be carefully squeezed out and left to dry completely for 1-2 days.

When washing and drying filters, the following must not be used:

hot water;
any chemical dishwashing detergents;
dishwashers;
washing machines;
hair dryers;
microwave ovens.

Exposure to high temperatures and aggressive substances can compromise the integrity of the structure and lead to premature failure of parts.

Hepa filters are maintenance-free, cannot be cleaned, and must be replaced at the end of their service life. The design of these filters allows you to retain microparticles that go through all the preliminary stages of purification.

With proper use and regular cleaning of washable filters, the service life of HEPA filters is approximately 7 years.

How to wash the inside of a Dyson vacuum cleaner?

Dyson vacuum cleaners are very easy to disassemble into parts. Please note that not all parts can be washed with water.

The following are subject to wet processing:

dust container;
filters;
nozzle brushes.

It is important that the washed parts dry well. Do not allow even a drop of moisture to get inside the device. Plan general cleaning in advance, so as not to use a vacuum cleaner for 24 hours after it.

Cleaning the side brushes of the robot vacuum cleaner

The modern market of household appliances offers improved models - robotic vacuum cleaners, whose high-quality house cleaning work occurs without human intervention. Such designs include side brushes, which also require periodic cleaning.

The algorithm is as follows:

Turn off the device and disconnect it from the charging station.
Remove the side brush from the device, following the instructions for the specific model.
There are special combs for cleaning the brushes of a robot vacuum cleaner. If you don’t have such a device, you can use regular tweezers or a steamer to remove lint and stuck hairs.
If necessary, the side brushes can be washed, but after this it is necessary to dry the attachments before reinstalling them on the body of the robot vacuum cleaner.
Clean the attachment points of the side brushes on the device body from dirt.

Any vacuum cleaner requires high-quality maintenance; only in this case can you count on its proper operation for a long time. It is important not only to wash the filters and empty the dust collectors of accumulated debris, but also to maintain the nozzles. Before cleaning the vacuum cleaner brush, it is important to study the disassembly instructions for your specific model.

Gadget at work

As I already said, my apartment was recently renovated. Everything was covered with fine repair dust. The owners made my situation worse by immediately laying down carpets and arranging furniture. “We’ve cleaned up, you can move in,” they said.

But allergies are not easy to fool. The dust immediately had a negative effect in the form of a terrible runny nose - like in the spring. Since the move, there hasn’t been time to clean it properly - and what’s more, even for weekly cleaning I had to hire a cleaner.

The arrival of the Dyson V8 has forced some deep cleaning. In my two-room apartment, it took a little over an hour in total - and took two battery charges. First the hall and hallway, then the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. It's a pity that charging takes as long as 5 hours - but thanks to the special base it's very easy. You put the vacuum cleaner in the dock, like a smartphone, and charge it. When the battery is refilled, the corresponding indicator will light up.

During this time, I completely cleared the following from household and repair dust:

– ceiling and mezzanine moldings (without climbing on a chair or stepladder); – joints of baseboard and laminate; - behind cabinets; – for upholstered furniture; – the furniture itself (from below too); – kitchen (even behind the plinths); – batteries (!!!) ; – all kinds of cabinet cracks, door trims; – rugs in the hallway, bathroom and a huge carpet in the living room.

How to clean the turbo brush of a vacuum cleaner

The turbo brush is a very convenient attachment option for those who have pets at home. It is no secret that most animals are subject to seasonal molting; as a result, not only floors, but also upholstered furniture are covered in wool. The turbo brush carefully and effectively removes hairs from the surface of carpets and sofas, capturing them thanks to the spiral design of bristles rotating on a rotor.

However, in order for the quality of cleaning to remain at a high level, it is important to clean the useful nozzle in a timely manner. The procedure is not required after each use; it is enough to “maintain” the turbo brush once every 2-3 weeks.

Algorithm for how to clean hair from a vacuum cleaner brush:

Disconnect the nozzle from the device.
Most turbo brushes are removable; to do this, you need to lightly press the handle to open the lid.
Wipe the contaminated surface with a damp cloth to remove a layer of dust and dirt.
Using tweezers, a steamer or a simple sewing needle, remove any stuck hairs and lint from the bristles on the rotating rotor.
Close the lid.

Such events will be quite enough to make the turbo brush work with renewed vigor. Once every few months, it is advisable to completely disassemble the nozzle and thoroughly clean all components using a damp rag. Most manufacturers do not recommend flushing as it may impair functionality.

conclusions

I admit that this is not my first experience using a cordless vacuum cleaner. However, with Dyson I realized that before that I had a toy vacuum cleaner. The absence of a wire is super convenient.

The powerful engine is another plus. The first test with the V11 Absolute Pro was straight out of the box. We have a carpet, two cats and a dog in our house. Usually you had to spend about fifteen minutes just on the carpet, and it was not a fact that it became clean. With the Dyson it took about three minutes to clean.

Cleaning has become easier, and less time is spent on cleaning. Another plus is the simple and contactless emptying of the dust container. No need to fuss with bags, no need to clean up after cleaning.

But, as I noted above, there are also disadvantages. This is quite a noticeable weight, which interferes with long-term cleaning, and the need for a place to store the vacuum cleaner and accessories.

Well, probably the most serious disadvantage is the price. You will have to pay almost 50 thousand rubles for a home assistant. Is it a lot or a little? It depends on how you evaluate it. Perhaps this is not an investment where you can invest money, but on the other hand, you are paying for technology, quality, reliability and cleanliness. It is worth noting that there are other models in the V11 line, they are simpler and cheaper.
