My wife has a Dyson with the turbo spinny brush head thingy.
The case opens to pull of debris an hair etc, but this time it's still not playing, so I need to strip it down and get the "cough" plaster dust out of it.
I can find 2 torx screws butr it's not enough to open it up, and I can't seem to find instructions on the net. Any clues. Its a DC11 turbo head
Help

Me being dim!
I've got it apart, but the turbo vacuum motor bit is a sealed unit.
I've blown it out with the airline, no good.
Its now sitting in a sink of hot water

its not dyson

Its diesoon

when i worked for Sheety link, everyday we had about 10 units send back for repairs.

Last time I went to dump some rubbish at the local recycling center there was at least 30 vacuum cleaners there of which about 25 were Dyson's . Makes you wonder?

Apparantly they're quite simple to repair though. I knew someone at uni who made quite a lot of beer money by picking up "broken" Dysons at the tip, repairing them and flogging them on Loot (back in the day).....

Can't remember what the weak point was but apparantly 99% of the time it was the same fault and a 15 minute fix netted a nice little profit (consider the vacuum was free!)....

Saw one of the bladeless Dyson fans today. Way cool. I still don't quite understand how they work but I want one. Spent about 20 minutes sticking my hand in / out of the thing to try and work out how the air flow was flowing....

Well now the turbo head is as clean as a whisle and dripping in light oil and still not turboing, i suspect that the whole vac unit needs a service so that will be one of tomorrows jobs, before she finds out

I've owned a Dyson DC05 for the last 10 years - it's been pretty good all that time.

We did break the first tube - with the turbo brush on the end - but we got a replacement.

Then last year (after 9 years use everyday) the motor gave up. We bought a replacement motor from Dyson and I replaced it in 1/2 hour. There are some good pages in the internet that deal with DIY repairs on Dysons.

I'm quite impressed with ours

had a dyson it was crap. now have a miele and never looked back. it easily has 3 times the power of any dyson and is virtually impossible to upset or block up.

Good nes.
Combo of comressed air and jetwash has breathed new life into it.
It's better than it was before the "plaster" incident
