How To Clean And Maintain The Dyson V15 and How To Access Secret Menus On The Vacuum

If your Dyson V15 is pulsing or is not sucking up properly then it could be that it needs to cleaned or maintained. I show how to clean the vacuum to try and help with this problem.
I also show how to access the menus on the vacuum where you can access other options.

Thank you! So helpful. I find it humorous that Dyson would contact you to tell you what not to do while cleaning out the vacuum. Why don't they just produce their own official version and provide it like you, so we, the consumers, know how we can properly clean our equipment. We pay so much money to buy a cleaner from them, and their instruction manual is so minimal it is hardly useful. Their online tutorial is very lacking as well.

[@sashacaba8698]

Agreed like their instructional videos are not even practical for everyday dirt If we clean according to their videos our vacuums would get messed up and then we’d have to replace them

[@matthewcutler1786]

Disagree, I knew all of this from the Dyson instructions that took two minutes to watch compared to this long drawn out version

[@siosion8148]

I also disagree, when you watch the video from dyson and look into the manual for more than 1 minute, all cleaning is explained and even the secret menu will be no secret to you ;)

[@farikhan465]

Totally agreed I also paid huge amount for this useless cleaner when it’s unclean

[@nsmccoy2345]

Exactly, Dyson’s instructions are not good!!!!

[@annecayer1196]

Thanks for posting this. My Dyson was losing suction & giving it a cleaning, following your instructions, fixed it. So happy to be able to avoid a costly repair.

[@ranfuchs2775]

This was EXTREMELY helpful! We’ve had our for over 2 years. Religiously wash the filter but never knew you could remove the plastic canister. Was going to take it in for servicing but no longer need to. Working like new! 🎉

[@suz5862]

Cannot believe that people questioned where your demo was taken place and what you were wearing. Great video!

[@natalyalande]

Cannot thank you enough! Step by step demonstrations are indeed helpful : I was able to clean mine and that is an achievement.

[@lords-electrical]

That's great to hear 😀

[@fantailrain3570]

Thank you so much for this in-depth video, you covered everything I needed to know and explained everything so clearly. You are a really good teacher.

[@ayeshamaniparathy4963]

Fabulous - very detailed, covered everything I wanted to know - thank you very much!

[@IndigoPuma]

Thank you so much for this video. It made cleaning my vacuum cleaner very easy, and now I feel like a boss.

[@hazellewis2765]

I've had my Dyson V15 for a few weeks and found this video very helpful. Your explanations are clear and easy to follow. Thanks a lot.

[@lords-electrical]

Glad it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback

[@cathhyett2694]

Extremely helpful! Just bought a V15S Submarine and wanted to make sure that I would be cleaning it as recommended by the manufacturer. Many thanks!

[@Cyn50983]

If you have hardwood or tile floors use the green light soft brush attachment. The floors will look completely clean until you put the green light on them. Then you see all of the dust and hair that is really there. It’s amazing and now we vacuum in the dark with the green light on. 😊

[@JoshS2021]

Literally just used this vacuum for the first time today and the green light my the dog hair light up like Christmas. That vacuum head literally pickups everything

[@ComboSlicer]

can confirm, its almost frightening to see how dirty the hard floor actually is

[@adamcenter7947]

So good

[@adrianabeas1519]

Wow! Love the video, i just got mine few weeks ago and this was very helpful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you!

[@PatStupak]

Very well explained. I learned a lot. Initially I was afraid to tackle it but the video made it look simple. Well done.

[@lords-electrical]

Thanks very much for the great feedback

[@moonface79247]

Just cleaned my Dyson with this video step by step. I knew of a few things from before but I’m saving this for all future clean ups too. Thanks! Btw - the part when u tap with the paint brush - wow so much stuff came out !also shared this with my brother who has the same Dyson. 😊

[@lords-electrical]

That's great, well done thanks for the feedback

[@tinacoleman2911]

I use a thin, plastic, hair retrieval, drain cleaner tool, to clean those intake tubes. It works really well, but I usually have to use it a few times each time I clean the tubes.

[@lanesniderchannel]

First thing I do is remove battery before I clean mine so I don't accidentally pull the trigger with it in pieces. Great vid!

[@TheLebbs2001]

Been thinking about this hoover for a few weeks but your videos of this model I have decided to buy one thanks

[@shabinashelley9109]

That was really well explained. I would love to learn more about the menu in detail and what each item means. Thank you so much.

[@RichardShelton]

Excellent video and love your sense of humor, "put my teeth back in". Thank you!

[@margo662]

I know a lot more about the care of my v15 thanks to this. Thank you

[@dunsa123456]

I managed to shake out at least 1lb of dust from the inner part!!!! The banging with the brush against the unit helped lots.

[@gregferreira8309]

Excellent tutorial. I clean my V15 with an air hose, I take the unit and accessories outside and blow it with a compressed air hose. Another method is to use another vacuum to clean the V15.These are just some alternatives to your methods

[@dunsa123456]

This is absolutely fantastic!!! Never knew we could remove the transparent bin!!! Will buy a small brush and get to work tomorrow!

[@miriamcosta907]

I don't understand much English, but with the demonstration I was able to disassemble my vacuum cleaner. thank you very much!

[@janetdyson3899]

Thanks for showing how the filter goes back on. Other videos I've watched only show taking it off, which wasn't helpful. Will come back and watch again when I next clean it.

[@sashacaba8698]

This was an awesome detailed video, just what I was looking for thank you!

[@Momo-tp9nh]

This saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

[@sharmaqueiser6722]

Thanks for this video! It made cleaning my new Dyson a breeze.

[@melissasexton8913]

Thanks so much!!! Really, really helpful. I like the way youbexplain everything, as well as the demonstration. I've just brought this model & the only thing i dont like about Dyson is that you dont get manuals & the online ones they provide are very basic & not detailed like yours at all. Perfect 10/10!!!

[@lords-electrical]

Thanks very much for this feedback, its always appreciated.

[@jojonapster]

Well presented, easy to follow. This makes a great reference, being able to learn how to clean the unit and watch it being done. Your speaking manner is pleasant and clear. Very informative video. And I like your white shirt. Really.

[@staceyhunt6769]

"Don't need to get the bin wet" Buddy, I've got 3 kids under 5 and been using mine since it arrived from pre-order. I had NO IDEA I could take any of these bits off. The amount of caked-on yuck... I'm going to have to soak some of that. 🤣

[@staceyhunt6769]

@@petralea Dude, that's literally the point of the comment? This guy showed us HOW to get in and clean bits we couldn't otherwise access? And whilst he said you don't need to get it wet, my comment was saying that I'm going to so I can clean it thoroughly? Why reply when you haven't read?

Very thorough and well worth the time. Thank you.

[@susannesixl5493]

Thank you for that video!!! I just got my Dyson V15 and could not find an instruction manual online. Now after watching your video I feel confident to use it and clean it and am exited for this new household gadget.

[@lords-electrical]

Great to hear this was useful for you. Thanks for the great feedback and good luck with your new vacuum.

I just bought mine today wooohoooo it's charging for the first time ⌚️ .. waiting now

[@dr.moustafaibrahim6810]

Thanks for the Video! I used air blower for last 2 years and it makes everything like brand new

[@blissfuldiversions523]

In the KZbin video that Dyson made on cleaning the filter, it says to partially fill the filter with water then give it a few shakes back and four, then put down and LEAVE FOR 24 HOURS before putting it back onto the vacuum. I found the rest of your video Very informative to especially since I have a longhair cat and a lot of hair does accumulate. Thank you for this in-depth video. It was quite informative. Thank you!

[@lords-electrical]

No problem. Glad it was useful for you

[@Angie103_]

[@tonydavis9495]

I have the V11 that is a very similarly design bin and cyclone assembly. Once the outer bin is removed for cleaning, I use a combination of paint prush and a slightly damp micro-fibre cloth to clean the metal mesh part, and any dust off the seals. Ensure that the seals are dry. As for the upper-inside, where the cyclone bits are (you cannot get at those unless you take it apart), a good way to ensure loose dust comes out of that area is to hold it pointing down over a waste bin, and use the handle of a plastic brush to strongly tap the lower thinner section, keep tapping for at least a minute, rotating to different points on the lower end part, as the mechanical tapping action will result in a LOT of fine dust particle falling out of the uppe inside areas. Also, simetimes the bin will get stuck (stiction) on the rubber seals, and the big red lever will not always push it off (you have to rock sidways a bit while pulling to expose the little lock lever), when that happens, use a MINUTE smear of Silicone Grease on the seals (available from automotive shops), and wipe off any excess, otherwise it attracts dust! The ones that stick are the red seal on the bin and where it goes onto on the main part when put back on.

[@donaldstrader7241]

I have not had a chance yet to watch your entire video. I just wanted to thank you for part just after 24 minutes. Once you demonstrated it, it was easy to slip the canister back in place.

It's online.

Me too. Very annoying. I just got one today, no manual. I usually sit and read through them before I use the machine. So I’m watching KZbin videos today on the vacuum.

[@Leen95M]

thank you so much for this demo! this was really helpful.

[@erenalpaslan]

Thank you so much! Very excellent explanation.

[@tommyrq180]

Thank you-very good tutorial. I would just add that on the vacuum head you need to check the internal air passage after removing the dust bin, that is, the central core hole PLUS the one side hole (on gray part above lower dust block) because they can get clogged with hair or other obstructions. Visually check (easiest to shine a light into the side hole and look through bottom hole) but the side hole and central hole require fingers or a flexible brush or long screwdriver to clear it if it’s clogged. Shining a flashlight (torch) into the side hole and viewing from the bottom works pretty well to ensure it’s clear. 😊

[@joneschung2518]

My family use the machine to collect food powder, it made me mad because it will attract pest and become moldy when food powder keep storing inside. No one gonna clean it, and I do it myself, spent two days to get most of the food powder and dust out. Thank you so much for the video, I installed it back after cleaning and it works normally! I don’t know why but you sounds like a good father who are teaching us how to wash the machine, your voice make me feel safe and comfort. Can’t believe I can wash it by myself, I learn it from zero and proud of the result. Thanks again.

[@giottodiotto1]

This video really shows the big flaw with al this " bag less" devices, maintenance is actually harder than with a regular paper bag vacuum, these devices eventually will clog up and than you need to do this ....wehn a paper bag is full you simply throw it in the bin, maybe once a year replace the HEPA filter, way more hygienic to use ( I use to have a Dyson myself,many years ago,thing was very loud,heavy,expensive and most of al clumsy, few years ago I switched to a nice and silent AEG, with paperfilterbags, work a charm, never go back to a Dyson, especially not for their prices

This was so helpful. Vacuum is looking great now and it started out pretty rough 😅 the brush roller does have little side traps that get hair rolled up in it. It was time consuming but I used a small blade to get them loosened up. I imagine there is a better way to do it, but just something you can maybe talk about in a next video. Cheers!

[@katn2596]

Bless you for making this! It’s a very expensive vaccuum and I was afraid I was gonna break it if I tried to figure out how to clean it myself. Really makes you think why the manufacturer has such poor care information. If you ever make a video on how each attachment is supposed to be used, that’d be rad. I’ve been trying to figure out the - + icon on the front of the big antitangle brush and I’m stuck

[@jenn9337]

The plus or minus raises or lowers the brush for plush pile carpet or lower pile carpet. I have to switch mine to the minus side to get better suction on the rugs in my house 💕

Thank you it was most informative, especially how to get all the different parts off for cleaning. What I did observe as a first time user that the light stays on for a while, before switching off. So I gather there is no ‘Off’ button.

[@lords-electrical]

That's correct it is just the trigger to switch the vacuum suction on and off.

[@jackiekirby8620]

Excellent video, thank you so much for the clear and concise steps. When I went to place the clear bin back on, the red rubber gasket-looking ring popped off from the inside of the bin when it was going past the grey rubber umbrella-looking bit. I tried for better part of an hour to get it back in place but had no joy. Please do you have a way to reassemble this part? (The grey plastic ring and red rubber ring both popped off) thank you
