Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Dyson lose suction after a few minutes?
Intermittent suction loss is usually caused by a partially blocked filter restricting airflow. The machine may also be thermal-cutting due to overheating from a blocked airway.
How often should I wash my Dyson filter?
Dyson recommends washing the filter at least once a month. If you vacuum frequently or have pets, wash it every two weeks.
Can I use my Dyson without a filter?
No — operating a Dyson without a filter can damage the motor and voids the warranty. Always ensure the filter is installed and dry before use.
