For those of you who are looking for replacement parts for your Dyson I would first recommend calling the company to see if they missing or broken part is covered under the 5 year or 6 month warranty that is sold with each new and refurbished Dyson vacuum cleaner. If it is not I would suggest going to www.dyson.com to find the part that you need for your vacuum cleaner.

Dyson’s home page has a Dyson spare part catalog for each one of its model. Simply follow these instructions to locate a list of parts available for your model.

1. Visit Dyson
2. Go To Online Store
3. In The Sub Menu Go To Parts & Accessories
4. Select Your Vacuum Type
5. Select Your Vacuum Model

The site will then list all of the Dyson spare parts and the accessories that are available for your model of vacuum from the company directly.

Dyson spares and accessories are available from amazon.com, overstock, best buy, and other retailers. However as is the case when purchasing any replacement part I prefer to buy from the original manufacture. I can’t say why it is just my preference.

Dyson spare parts include hoses, adapters, and filters. To my knowledge heads, handles, and canisters are not sold separately and will be replaced only through remanufacturing or refurbishment from the company itself.

Dyson accessories are not considered spare parts. If you are looking for accessories there are many available through all of the retail outlets that currently sell Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Dyson Direct Inc. has unveiled it’s latest technology on a new upright vacuum cleaner named the Dyson DC28. The technology, know now as the Dyson Airmuscle is a combination of three new technologies that allows the vacuum cleaner head to move intelligently to adapt to vacuuming on different surfaces.

It seems to me that Dyson is always working to figure out what is currently wrong with their vacuum cleaners, and not what is currently right. A mindset that really seems to be working for them as it has lead to many new advances in the vacuum cleaner industry. The problem that they addressed this time was that they saw that vacuum cleaners didn’t not effectively vacuum all surface well, and even the ones that had adjustments for such issues the did not work appropriately.

When a vacuum is adjustable for cleaning different surface types it will generally have two options 1 lower the brush bar, or 2 lower the entire vacuum head. The problems that occur with these adjustments are that when you lower the brush bar you will raise the vacuums head away from the floor causing a suction leakage. The leakage means that you will lose some of your seal and your vacuum won’t pick up all of the dirt that it should be picking up. The issue with lowering the vacuums head is that they generally do it by weighting the vacuum to keep it touch the ground. But the weights will make it difficult to push, especially in carpet where the nose of the vacuum will have a tendency to get buried and stuck.

How Does the Dyson Airmuscle Fix the Problem?

If I were to tell you that I understood completely what the airmuscle did to fix the issue I would be lying because well it took the Dyson engineers whom are much smart than I am 3 years to figure it out. But I do know that they combine three technologies that have seperate but equally important jobs.

Dyson’s Website Says
1. Pneumatic actuator
Pulls the cleaner head deeper into the carpet, opening the pile to dislodge dirt and pet hair.
2. Powered cam
Lifts the brush bar up for hard floors, focusing suction.
3. High-torque clutch
More power to the brush bar, enabling the stiff bristles to open carpet pile and dislodge dirt.

Vacuum’s With the Dyson Airmuscle Technology:

The newest vacuum in the Dyson line up the DC28 upright vacuum cleaner is currently the only vacuum available with the new airmuscle technology. I would expect that as new vacuums are developed the will be equipped with the same or a similar technology.

Dyson vacuums cleaners contain many unique parts, many of which are derived from the 100′s of different patents that the company owns. Patents that were given to the company to help protect their ingenuity, and research that has changed many of the way we currently think about vacuum cleaners.The most famous Dyson vacuum cleaner partsinclude items like the Dyson canister, the Dyson Ball, and the Dyson Cyclone which are all advancements in how a vacuum cleaner works.

The Dyson canister has a unique design that allows for quick cleaning, a tight seal, and is certified asthma and allergy friendly. The Dyson Ball is a convenience item and makes a difference in how a vacuum cleaner can maneuver. Finally the Cyclone, the most important, has influenced many vacuum manufacturers and really changed the way a bagless vacuum are operate. But it doesn’t matter what the use each dyson vacuum partis equally important and one of a kind.

Other Dyson vacuum parts are more practical designs such as tools to pick up pet hair, low reach tools to pick up under couches, multi angle tools to reach awkward places, and the Dyson telescope reach wand to make adjusting the vacuums reach simple.

My personal favorite is the Dyson multi-angle brush tool. I absolutely hate cleaning my fan blades, but with this tool I am able to do it very easily without have the blades constantly moving on me or having to go over them many times.

Where to Buy Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Parts

Dyson vacuum cleaner parts and accessories are available for purchase from a variety of sources. You can buy them from the company directly at Dyson’s Homepage, from online retailers like amazon.com, or from many brick and mortar retailers around your area like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. If you are looking for replacement parts I would suggest contacting the company before making any purchases as many parts are going to be covered under your 5 year warranty that came with the purchase of your vacuum.

The Dyson motorized brush bar has a tendency to stop turning if too much hair gets caught up in the bar. Now don’t worry, your $500.00 vacuum isn’t broken. All you have to do is remove the clogged hair from your Dyson DC17′s brush and then press the reset button on the site of the vacuums head and you will be back up and running like new in moments. If you would like a better set of instructions be sure to read our article detailing what do to when your Dyson brush won’t turn.

The Canister on the other hand should not be getting clogged as Dyson guarantees that you will never lose suction with a vacuum that is equipped with the Dyson Root Cyclone Technology. But the problem is not the vacuum. Unfortunately is is probably the user. I am sorry, I know nobody likes to hear that, but the cyclone only works correctly when your canister isn’t overly full. And if you will refer to your manual that came with the vacuum it will show you the full line and if you are having clogging issues I would be willing to bet that you are well above it.

Either way improper use or improper functionality isn’t my concern, I am here to tell you how to fix it. First unplug your vacuum. Remove the Dyson DC17′s canister form the vacuum. Open the bottom of the canister over a garbage can allowing for for the loose contaminants to drop into the garbage. Remove the top lid from the canister exposing the hair clogged filter. Simple use your hands or a brush to remove any hair that may be blocking the are flow of the filter. Replace all of the parts and proceed as usual.

Although few problems will occur with the use of your Dyson DC17 such as dealing with clogged hair or a brush bar that won’t turn, I have yet to have any significant problems. I would suggest that if you are repetedly having issues with hair clogging that you contact the manufacturer with specific questions and problems.

First and foremost always unplug your Dyson before you start any sort of work on it. Next grab a seat on the floor, yeah park your butr on the floor it will be easier because you won’t be trying to lift your vacuum up to you. Now take a look at the brush bar to see how much hair and debris is caught in there. If there is very little then you probably don’t have much to worry about and you can press the brush reset bar on the side of the vacuums head and your problem with they Dyson brush not turning in fixed. However if you are like me and you find that your cat, dog, and wife’s hair are wound pretty tightly around the brush head you will need to take some time to pull in out of there as it is probably what is restricting the motorized brushes movements. Once you are finish you can also press the button on the side of the vacuums head. Now stand the vacuum and yourself back up and go plug it in. I bet that if you cleaned it out your Dyson brush will turn as normal.

One of the more frequent questions that I get asked is “are there any attachments for my Dyson vacuum available” so I thought I would take a minute to help you guys find what attachments you can get for your Dysons.

If you would like to know what attachments are available for your specific Dyson vacuum email me with your question at ajm [at] dysoninfo [dot] com and I will try to write up an article specifically about what attachments are available to you.

Universal Attachments for Dyson Vacuums:

Flexi crevice tool
Soft dusting brush
Stiff bristle brush
Multi-angle brush

Flexi Crevice Tool Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Flexi Crevice tool attachment is extending and flexible in order to l easily fit into those hard to get to places.

Soft Dusting Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Soft Dusting Brush attachment works pretty much like a regular dusting brush except with the power of a Dyson vacuum behind it. Use the soft dusting brush on your piano and don’t worry about the finish.

Stiff Bristle Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Stiff Bristle Brush Attachment on the other hand is much less delicate and heavier duty. Use the stiff bristle brush to get the stuff off of the floor that you might need a little extra help with.

Multi-angle Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson multi-angle Brush Attachment allows you to work without performing acrobatics. Clean the tops of fan blades and cabinets with ease by attaching this tool to the wand of your Dyson vacuum cleaner.

On a Dyson vacuum cleaner there are very few removable parts that need to be cleaned meaning that keeping your vacuum in top shape should be pretty easy. Here is my schedule and suggestions for cleaning out your Dyson vacuum to keep it running great.

My Routine For Cleaning Out A Dyson Vacuum:

1. Empty your Dyson Canister every time you use it, or when the contaminants reach the full level. I know these seems like trouble but with the easy empty canister on all the Dyson upright models it won’t take more than a few seconds and it will help to ensure that you are always get the best suctions.

2. Remove hair from the brush head. Although infrequent you may find that your bathroom floor has more hair than your head and when your Dyson picks it all up it may cause the brush to get stuck once in a while.

3. Clean the HEPA Filter once a month. Schedule either the first or last day of the month as the day the you can wash and dry your filter. Your filter probably doesn’t need a full cleaning every month, but it is just good practice to form a routine and stick with it.

Do you need instructions for cleaning out a Dyson vacuum? If so you might want to take a look at my article cleaning your Dyson DC18 I know it may not be specific to your model, but you will find that the instructions are almost uniform for any Dyson upright vacuum as they are all equipped with the Dyson hygienic canister making cleanup of each model extremely simple.

When cleaning your Dyson accessories be sure to make sure your vacuum is unplugged and all parts are removed before from the upright itself as you will not want to get any water on the vacuum itself. Then rinse your plastic accessories with water and allow them to dry completely before reattaching them to your vacuum.

Vacuuming under your couch, bed, or an open bottom step can be laborious to say the least. You can get a friend or loved one to help you move a couch or bed, but I don’t care how many friends you have I doubt you are moving the steps without some major construction. The Dyson low reach floor tool is designed to make the process a whole lot easier. The attachment is a low profile vacuum head that can me attached to your Dyson to help you clean underneath the tough places your normal vacuum head can’t fit.

How to Use the Dyson Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment:

While you are doing your ordinary house cleaning it is easier to put on an attachment to complete the job than it is to stop and move a piece of furniture. With that in mind the engineers at Dyson made their low reach floor tool a simple snap on attachment. In order to use it just remove the collapsing / extending wand from your vacuum and snap the attachment into place at the end of the hose. Then continue to use you wand to sweep underneath your couch or coffee table. You don’t need any special tools to use the low reach floor attachment, and it works like any other piece of Dyson equipment. IE: the Dyson multi-angle brush or the Dyson mini turbine head.

Will The Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment Work With My Dyson?

Unfortunately like many of Dyson’s attachments the low reach floor tool is not a universal attachment. It is specifically designed to work with only 3 of their upright vacuums; the Dyson DC07, the Dyson DC14, and the Dyson DC17.
