Why does dyson blow out dust

In this case once the vacuum cleaner loses power leave it for at least half an hour and then try turning it back on again. If it comes back on again after an hour then clean your filters and check for blockages. It might sound simple, but lack of power is often the cause of a vacuum cleaner that won't work. Check that the vacuum cleaner is plugged into a working power outlet and that fuses and breakers don't need resetting. An activated thermal cut-out due to a blockage is the next most likely cause of the problem.

The most common cause of loss of suction is that the filters have become blocked. They may require cleaning or replacing. Another cause could be that the vacuum cleaner hose is blocked. Inspect the base of the vacuum cleaner for blockages and ensure that the belts are not broken.

Can a Dyson vacuum blow air? Category: style and fashion natural and organic beauty. As you've probably noticed, the motor in a vacuum cleaner gets quite hot after a few minutes; that's why the cool air it sucks in emerges from the machine somewhat hotter.

On this Dyson , the air outlet is at the bottom, just underneath the dirt bin. Put your hand there and you'll feel warm air blowing out. Can you use a hair dryer to blow up an air mattress?

These get blocked quite often and are not listed by Dyson despite my own petition, that this should be in the manual. I would flip the lid on the filter hidden in the centre of the drum, under the handle and visually check with a torch that that their is no blockage reforestation reassembly.

Putting the plastic drum is a bit fiddly, but with some light jossiling, you will see the half moon shape guide on the back to help you alingn the drum correctly it will feel locked if you assemble it correctly, with the tiny tilt towards the front of the drum and clear plastic going in first, before clipping the Grey catch on the back side.

Now close the opened flap, put the filter back on follow the wash instructions if it looks dusty and drying rules , then put it back onto the top of the dysons body. You should be all set. Rotate so you see the back side of the drum, as pictured. The tab you want, is hidden under the red arm, but can only be accessed, once the waste bin has been opened to dispense the trash.

Press down again on the waste dump button, and with the waste panel open, the Grey button reveals its self to you. Now push the Grey button and you release the clear plastic outer casing of the drum from the internal drum structure.

As you will see in the next two images, there is both a duct on the side and a screened vent, the smaller vent on the back side, helps to develope the cyclone, drawing in high pressure air, whilst the mesh is for when the vaccume gets a bit blocked and allows air to bypass the filter, reducing the vaccume force deramatically.

So check both the side vent and give a wipe over the meshed area as well, Incase their is any loose partials visible. Finally reverse the direction of disasembly to reassemble the dyson. Getting the clear plastic onto the drum is a bit fiddly, but it does go on again. I just cleaned the filter as required every 6 months, but the cyclone is still very dusty inside.

The clear plastic dirt bin rinses well. I have 5 cats and the dyson is amazing! All the different color dysons are really the same machine - only the attachments are different,. I thought it was hard to choose through all the various models out there.

They come in 3 main colors, and then have variations on that I did a bunch of research and go over all the models, prices, colors and where you can purchase them. It seems like every major retailer has their own version I've had a purple one for 18 months. What attracted me to it was the idea of no bag and no filter to replace. Have you priced filters? I just cleaned my foam prefilter for the first time this past weekend.

We are remodeling and have had sheetrock dust in the house for a year, so it was dirty, but I didn't notice any change in suction before or after cleaning it.

I am continually amazed at several things. We have 3 cats and a dog. With previous vacuums, when I vacuumed I could smell the pets. With the Dyson you don't smell anything. That filter even filters out odors?? The second thing is the pet hair attachment. It is a small beater brush. Our cats like to sleep on a black velour chair cushion. One pass with the pet attachment and all the hair was gone. Another thing is that I know the trick about passing one vacuum after the next and collecting more dust.

But with this one, if you sweep, dump the dustbin, and sweep again, you don't get any more dirt. And the last thing that amazes me is how small the particles of dust are it pulls in. It's like talc. We have carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. I never change anything and roll from one to the other. I dump the contents of the dust bin once a week, which makes me wonder how much dirt I was collecting in the Hoover bag?

I also cleaned the guts of the machine using my kitchen sprayer. I probably should have taken it outside and used a little more force from the pistol grip hose nozzle, but you live and learn. There is no need to buy the purple one.

Get the yellow and then order the apppropriate accessories that the animal has. Same thing. All the filters on the dyson are cleaned by the person who owns the vac. They don't require any replacement. So the vac "repair" shops are full of it. Plus, as far as I know, they all sell vacs as well. It is a very good, but very heavy machine. It is not for the person who cleans for a lving. It is too heavy. What I do know is that I got the dc14 the summer before last, and I have ALWAYS had allergies every spring like clockwork, mostly the dust and the pollen together that get me.

I used it regularly and then, last spring no allergy issues. I would highly recommend it, and if it breaks The Dyson at this point has an average life of three years.

The belt will break or the bearings in the brushroll will seize due to hair being caught in the roller after about two years of use. Another thing that is mentioned in earlier posts is the amount of dirt that these vacuums catch in the dust cup. A bagless vacuum is a gimmick. It fluffs the dust, similar to a cotton candy machine, to make a small amount of dust, dirt, and carpet fuzz look like a larger amount. A bagged vacuum with the new style hepa bags will hold about 30 times more dirt than a bagless vacuum's dust cup.

This is because it compresses the dirt, rather than filling it with air. People who purchase bagless vacuums, most notably the Dyson, are impressed with the amount of dirt they are seeming to get out of their carpet the first time they use it, when in actuality it can be less than their old vacuum got up, but it looks more impressive.

I wish that guy hadn't been so wordy. I agree the bagless fluffs up the dust. I don't see where that's a problem. A company representative from Hoover once told me that their company knows that bagless vacuums blow out dust and don't deep clean, but it is "what the consumer wants".

It looks nice on the shelf. Once a Dyson is used for a few months, the seals that hold the dust in start to break, and dust leaks from the cracks and crevices in the vacuum. Bagless vacuums are very bad for people with allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems because it puts fine dust particles into the indoor environment which can cause pulmonary irritation. If there was dust leaking anywhere, it would leave streaks of dust at the leak. I don't see any on mine. Anyone see any on theirs?

Another claim that Dyson makes, their vacuums do not lose suction. Well that is great, but suction is not what moves dirt. Dyson's claim about suction is true, but it doesn't matter how much sealed suction a vacuum has, it is the amount of air flow that determines how well a vacuum can deep clean.

Dysons DO lose air flow. Is this relevant? If mine is pulling a 2. What is the point of vacuuming if you are not deep cleaning, holding in the small particles of dust down to 0. Someone else said Shop around. I have had the Animal for 3 years now and not one single problem. The amount of animal hair and dust it sucks up never ceases to amaze me! It's a little clunky at times but I will take that because of it's great performance getting my rugs clean. Three years later it still draws air so hard I have to have someone stand on the other end of a runner no wimpy thing either - wool and 8ft long as it will pull it right off the floor.

The machine snaps apart - if you need something you can "fix" it yourself. This is one reason repair shops hate these machines. I have had to make sure that the beater bar is free and can rotate as I have long hair and no matter what kind of machine I have had - that still needs to be done.

I have three small short haired dogs - no problem cleaning up after them. You'd never know I had them. I just came across this thread. This thing has saved me money and I have a cleaner house with less agravation OMG - cleaning those Eureka filters - what a waste of time! I hate vacuuming but have a shed-o-matic doggy and 2 boys, this thing rocks!

I have a Hoover Wind Tunnel that I have had for several years and it finally started to die. I recently purchased a Thermax AF2 and I am trying it out right now. I do agree with the allergy portion of the machine. I can actually vacuum without my nose and sinuses burning. I do have long haired chihuahua's which shed alot of hair and boy does it pick it up. It is a machine that takes some getting used to if your used to an upright.

It does take some extra time cleaning the unit after you vacuum, but it's not too bad. I also purchased the Mini Max and love the way it helps my house smell wonderful. Compared to all the air fresheners and plug in units, it makes my house smell great and probably saves money for the long haul bacause those plug in units do not even last a month and are quite expensive after awhile. Not to mention the Mini Max helps clean the dust out of the air at the same time.

Love my Dysons. I actually have two one red, one purple. The only time the filter has needed washing was when I vacuumed a bunch of construction drywall dust with it instead of using the shopvac, and then I just rinsed out the filter and we were as good as new. I dropped one stair tool and broke it, but no biggie, I can just use the brush tool. Every so often I clean the roller brush. Not too hard. Yes, the Dyson is heavy, but for the clean, it's worth it.

I have no hesitation in recommending it. I bought both times off ebay, too - a bit cheaper than the stores. The first area I vacuumed was my family room. I was both amazed and grossed out to find out just how much my other vacuum had missed.

I actually emptied the canister 3 times! Emptying the dirt is a dream. It has a max level line to show you when it needs to be emptied. The canister pops out so easily and with a press of a button, the bottom drops down and all the dirt comes out. I usually empty the dirt into one of the plastic bags I get from the grocery store.

Tie the bag into a knot and you're done. No mess --couldn't be easier. How does the ball compare to the wheeled version? The ball is so easy to maneuver that the first time I used it I kept calling my husband over to show him all the tight turns I could make.

Now, with a flick of the wrist, I can get the vacuum to almost turn on a dime. I'm only 5'2" and if I say this is easy, it really is.

With my other vacuum, I would have to go back and forth to get into the right position. Now, I'm just there. Wow, how easy can it get? The cleaning tools come out easy and I love the fact that when you use them, the vacuum doesn't fall over or worse, on top of you. Can't tell you how many times my other vacuum fell on me. As far as maintenance goes, I will really take care of this little beauty.

Dyson's now come with a 5 year warrantee so I'm feeling good about that. On a final note. While I was trying to talk myself into buying this vacuum, I found out that lots of my family and friends own one all of them loved theirs. That really made me feel confident about buying mine.

My husband was still hesitant about spending so much money for a Dyson but after seeing what this vacuum does, he said that it was worth every cent. I have the Dyson Yellow Ball, I got mine in , it has the best suction of any vacuum I have ever had, and it is a synch to manuver because of the ball. I hate emptying any vacuum, and the Dyson is no exception. When I had my Kirby I totally hated the bag, it was cloth and you had to scrap it out, it was really nasty.

Although I paid a lot of money for it back in the early 80s I got rid of it a few years later, even though it had better suction. My mother had the oldest style Thermax; I remember it as a young girl, I think this is why to this day I still love the smell of eucalypts, as you could put a fragrant ball in the receiving container and it made the room smell nice.

Yet to empty the vacuum was pains if not worst then dry vacuums. You have all this dirty water, and we ended up with problems within the drains from all the hair etc that was being flushed down them, which then caused the change that you had to empty the dirty water container outside.

We would throw the muck out in the garden, yet on rainy, snowy or really cold days we would leave the muck in the vacuum only to find it drying out in the container, and then it was hard to clean out later. The second thing that the water vacuum was not great for, was moving it to other floors of the home. We had to empty the vacuum before we climbed stairs, and then the awkward walk with the dirty water back up or down the stairs to empty the contents outside.

Once my mom splashed dirty water on the stairs, and almost slipped on it to fall down the rest of the stairs. Otherwise this vacuum was good, but within a few years my Mom switched to a Eureka because she hated the immediate messy clean ups after doing the chore of vacuuming the house. She liked it that you could leave the mess in the bag and change it a few times when needed.

Yea every vacuum has the messy emptying chore. Yet with the Dyson I find it takes a while before you have to as the suction is ongoing, yet when you do I have found it to be the easiest. After removing the half of container I then twist tie all the vacuum debris to the very bottom of that bag, can reuse the same leaf bag many times before throwing it away.

On a good day, I go outside and let the debris go by the garden, in the spring the birds love it to make nests. I have used a small shop vac with hose to occasionally vacuum up inside the dirt container, as a maintenance preventative.

I have a lot of cat hair, woolen rug fibers and very long hair strands, which has caused other vacuums to lose suction, or break beater brush belts. The Dyson so far is my favourite vacuum. I have been in two car accidents, and have a bad back because of a birth defect; although any vacuuming is a real chore at times for me, I find it is still possible for me to do with the Dyson ball.

Plus the Dyson ball is not good to carry up each step as you vacuum either. So I had to go and purchase a small portable vacuum to do the stairs, as they were getting neglected. I spent alot of time looking at the Dyson recently. I went to Sears and they made it sound as many here have like the best thing since sliced bread. I also went to several vacuum shops, including one that sells the Dyson. I asked the sales person to show me a Dyson, and he obliged. I then asked him to give me his honest opinion of the machine and was told that it was one of the poorest carpet cleaners in their store, citing lack of air flow and good agitation.

And as far as not losing suction, he showed me with a suction gauge that vacuums dont lose suction, they lose air flow. He did this by measuring the water lift on a Central vacuum that was on display.

It measured on the gauge. Then stuck a cap on the end of the suction inlet with a pinhole in the end. The gauge still measured I also found that the dyson hose and attachments arent what I would call user friendly, awkward actually. And they are engineered with built in removable elbows that help you unclog the machine should it become clogged. They made the mistake of buying household machines that arent covered for commercial use. They also showed me 2 DC15 "The Ball" models that were in because of bad rollers.

Hair had gotten into the end and melted the roller and ruined the endcap. I did this research after hearing from 2 good friends wives, how great their Dyson is. My investment will be with me long after many of your Dysons are in the landfill. There is no way I would use my Dyson constantly within a commercial place, and you might be right that your vacuum will out last other peoples' Dyson.

I have kept my other upright vacuum the Ricard for everyone else to use, as I don't want them to do something that will break it. Yes I hate the way the hose and attachments pull out of the Dyson too, yet I like the way the air flow comes out of the top handle, and I use my Ricard hose on top, it fits the Dyson attachments too. Now it is so easy to go from upright to attachments. My Dyson has a beater brush button, so at a quick touch I can stop my beater brush or put it back on.

My daughters and I have long hair, and it has tangled many other vacuum beater brushes before, so I know that you have to check it occassionally and cut and pull the stuff from around it. So every type of beater brush gets tangled with stuff. Maybe the Dyson isn't for everyone, but I love what I call the suction, although you were told it is air flow. What ever you want to call it, it is the best of any vacuum I have owned and I have had 6 other makes. I do think mine was a bit pricy, but my husband drove me across the boarder from Canada to the States, as we didn't have the Dyson in , and since I was wanting one I didn't want to drive home without one.

Actually, I think that works with just about any vacuum. If you vacuum with your old vacuum after your new one, it will probably still pick up stuff. Most people move way too fast to do a really thorough job. I've seen posts on this forum about this too. Someone here don't remember who posted about pulling out their old vacuum and going over the rug that I believe a Kirby? Salesperson had just vacuumed to show what a bad job their vacuum did.

They still picked stuff up with the old vac.
