I would absolutely NOT recommend doing this to your V10. Its royal pain and almost impossible without risking breaking your vacuum. If you want a machine with washable cyclones get the he LG A9 or Samsung Jet.

I am about to embark on this, thank you for the video. I disagree with Matthews comments, "That's how cyclones cleans themselves they get built with dirt and then it gets heavy and falls" these things are *not* self cleaning past a certain point. 3 years ago we bought a v10. works great when it's working but after 18months it started to clog in ways that regular cleaning wouldn't fix. Using a PC cleaning air blower I got it going again, huge amount of dust came out of areas you can't clean too. Now, another year+ later, it's clogged again but this time the PC air spray isn't fixing it (although it did get a lot of gunk out). My choices are: - Do something extreme like this video. or - Chuck it I figure that if I'm going to chuck it I might as well try the extreme cleaning first and if I break it I'm not worse off. If extreme cleaning it works well, I *might* consider buying another dyson in the future but the "self cleaning" sales pitch is BS. This is my third dyson but these days, there are other similar designs that look easier to maintain. I don't want to buy one every three years.

@@VacMaster1991yup that’s why they sell ALL these parts separately because they anticipate their vacuum smelling like ass and you can’t do anything about it besides buying a new filter area…

IMHO Dyson has a problem with small particles collecting throughout their vacuums. As soon as you start to disassemble the V10 you can see clumps of fine particles everywhere. Then you get to the clogged cyclones which can render the whole thing worthless and as you mention it's almost impossible to disassemble and clean without breaking it. What other vacuums have this issue? I've owned several Dyson vacs over the years and I'm done with them. There are better options with less maintenance at or below that price point.

The LG A9 and Samsung Jet both have washable cyclones

To be honest, I take the 4 cross-head screw out from the filter, then the screw near the rubber seal, and then put the whole thing in the dishwasher at a lower temperature. Bring it up amazingly well, saves you from prying off the plastic pieces. If you use dishwasher salt, its basically deionised water anyway. Ive been servicing them for a while now (not for anyone paying) and never had any issues with electrical contacts or anything, but that's just me

Aside from the pain of dismantling your dyson, would you say when all is clean and re connected it’s worth it? Also Any changes in performance or did the smells go away? I can’t afford a brand new one, I got one off OfferUp, and they did say it was used for their dog, which has an odor and do see dog hair coming from inside the filter area/motor, so it’s really bothering me what’s inside and how much build is really in there before using it for my home.

The reason why Dyson makes it so difficult because they don't want you in there which I completely understand. Cyclones cleans themselves and every once in a while you could help it by taking your other vacuum and clean it out without taking it apart. Taking it apart will AVOID YOUR WARRANTY!

But, the area around the cyclones get caked with dirt. They stink after a while. Dyson needs to think of that and make the cyclone easy to clean. Both LG and Samsung cordless vac's, there cyclones can be washed along with the bin and both filters. The inability to clean the cyclone has been something I have always not liked about Dyson's vacuums. They still haven't fixed that issue. Dyson is the only brand I am aware of that makes user serviceability incredibly difficult. And also this was just for a video. I would NEVER recommend doing this. It's easer to use compressed air or a leaf blower.
