Dysons are the biggest piles of junk. I just worked on one of these. What a putrid smelly filthy mess. The plastic breaks and cracks.the filters are all dirty because cyclonic action doest filter well and,when you empty the bin dust flies everywhere. Just buy a REAL vacuum that was made in the 60's or 70's like a Filter Queen,Rainbow,Compact or electrolux. Not only will they last another 50 years but you can buy HEPA filtration bags for all of those cleaners

The statement on the dirt chamber "worlds first cleaner with no suction loss" is horsecrap. Rexair (Rainbow) accomplished that in 1936

The vacuum that never loses suction😉

So this is what bilbo baggins does with his time when not off adventuring with wizards dwarves and elves 😅

Still using my DC07 and after this video and the one on changing filters, it's working like a charm. Many thanks!

SucKy job .. but that's the way you do it! :-)

they never thought about how someone who bought one would need to be able to easily maintain it. the designers just didnt give a rats ___

Brilliant idea to clean dyson

i LOVE that you didn't edit and the lady was funny when she was bossing you around!!! i'm going to clean that section!!

you video helped me more than others who only looked at hoses and tubes. i had to clean the many little holes on the inner red part

One of the problems with the dyson is the fine dust takes on an opposite charge from the plastic and then the plastic accumulates the fine dust. Once you take the top off and vacuum all the fine dust out take it to the bathtub and run hot water on all of the plastic and through it and shake it around and get all the dust out of it. Then wash the top and dry it with a towel and wash the clear part also with water and no cleaner. dry it off also. then reassemble and set the vacuum cleaner up and turn it on and let it run to dry itself out. Another way to do it quicker is to take the canister off and take the clear plastic off on by holding the canister by the handle gently tap on the plastic cones and the dust will come out the bottom and fall into the sink. the design was really off for the dc 07 for the top of the canister. It should be a spring pressure clip to hold it together and to get rid of the screws.

Excellent service

I am still loving my DC07. It just got a new clutch and belt assembly and I repaired the main suction hose with some epoxy for plastic. It is working like new again, at least to my best recollection - thanks to Nelson Vacuums for the videos! I'll be cleaning out the cyclone chamber and we'll see... Don't forget that these old DC07s have about twice the suction power of anything they put out since 2011 due to EU regulations. It is well worth keeping our older Dysons going. And thanks again to Nelson Vacuums for these videos.

2019 and I still have my dc007. Thought I was finally going to have to send it to the graveyard , but this video has given it a new lease if life! Many thanks!

Brilliant, thanks so much from an Aussie in London

Excellent video!! Thank very much for explaining how to do this so clearly and precisely. You have been a great help to us!!!

This was so helpful and easy to follow!

I know this video is a year old. Does anyone know how to get between the cyclones and the lower housing? there's 3 screws on the inside but I can't get it to separate. The previous owner had dogs or cats or something and it as coated all inside with a cake of dust that sells like satan just got out of gym class and he didn't shower yesterday either. So I need to break the entire thing apart and totally clean every surface at all. PS I did a total breakdown and this is AFTER having cleaned everything (including removing the little vanes and shroud, that I still have that smell. yes mine is a DC07 thanks!

Great video but I was waiting to see you hoover up your screws. I wonder if you did hoover up the two that you didn't put back. I guess we'll never know.

Thanks for the video. Just cleaned out 14 years worth of crap out of my vacuum.

My dyson 7 will suck w hose but not from the brush area bottom nothing it's not cyclone seen videos I don't know if it's belt inside the driver and hate to try to take a look if ok it seems the main belt is fine I cleaned brush bar but could not figure how to get bar end caps off what causes this suction loss help

2:10 Im gunna cut this bit up...lol. Thanks for the vid

hello, i have a turbo tool attachment for the dyson dc07 and the brush head is not spinning freely. how do i fix this? its got no tangles, nothing is stuck, its just really hard to make it spin.

Can you wash out the top section as long as you let it dry out really well for about 2 days? I know you use a vacumm cleaner, but I like to be thorough.

I have that vacuum and I have a purple one and a yellow one

Thanks fabulous informative video.

The video was a great help :-)

I got my pressure washer and pressure washed the dirt out and it came up like new. Quicker than vacuuming it

thank you ur the best

On my greenish DC07, the latch that holds the bottom of the bin on does not stay work reliably. I now need to hold the bottom in place with my hand when I remove the bin. It does not appear that the lip that latches is very long, is this a common problem on these? How do I fix this? Thanks

How do you separate the cyclones from the housing to get into the individual cones. There are three screws that can be removed from inside the housing. I heard there are three hidden tabs that can be forced out? Hope that makes sense?

Thanks - great video, very helpful. And it made me laugh too 😀

Can you add a hepa filter to the dc07 origin??

Thank you I've been trying to figure out what was wrong with my vacuum for a long time. This is the only video that addressed the problem. You really know what you're doing.

Smart Alex, your video was the only one online that nailed the reason for loss of suction in my Dyson DC07! From NorthbCarolina, USA thanks Mate!

hello I have a dyson dc27 and was wondering how to clean the cyclones at the top as I don't want to break it so I thought I would just ask kind regards paul

Thanks, a lot, Alek - for this video =)

Arrr nice vid mate and top guy you seem genuine and helpful and that means alot great tip too, thanks mate 👍

Good Vid I Found It Very Informative

I always just throw mine in the tub and turn the jets on lol If your must know, YES life as a 23 y/o bachelor is great.

Wondering if you vacuum it out first, then clean it with soap and water then dry it out for a couple of days. Don't lose suction huh? Yea right.

Thanks for the tutorial. My problem is that after running for a minute or 2 the vacuum sound develops into a low booming suction noise. The suction is great, I cleaned out all the cyclones and all the seals appear to be in good order. no blockages in hoses etc.This has me really scratching my head...? Any thoughts?

The problem I'm having is the base plate will not level with the carpet so the suction is not good. I have to reach down and constantly level it so it will be level with the carpet. Will WD40 make it level or there any other remedies?

Thank you. I believe my vacuum is better.

You have really helped me with my dyson!

I did this clean up but did not line up that stick to the hole now bottom do not open and I cannot open to empty any fix.

YOu are so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to do this for people!! :)

Thank you! I have had my Dyson for years and never knew the top came off!

Thank you so much. Your video was straight forward and very helpful. My Dyson lost suction, I cleaned it, replaced the hose and two filters and the suction is powerful. Like new!

Do you have ANY idea how to unlock the dustbin once it is stuck in the locked position. I accidentally closed it before the fins and what not were on it so now it is locked and will not open. ??? Any thoughts?
