QuestionOn my V6 Dyson the blue lights stopped working and won’t charge… I have unplugged it and re-plugged it somewhere else and nothing . please help!
Asked 6 years ago by Sonya.
- Answer I had the similar problem Sonya, contacted Dyson who sent new battery via UPS. Same problem after 3 weeks and this time wouldn't even operate properly and stopped in between. Contacted Dyson again. First they tried to tell me I hadn't even registered my product which was a lie coz I just had gone through the registration process few weeks ago. So I went back on my bestbuy .com account and looked at shopping history, found out I had 15 days left this time on warranty. Finally after 30 minutes on the phone this lady rep. From Dyson admitted I was correct. But she wanted me to send the vacuum again for the same repair knowing that my warranty would expire in 15 days and after that they wouldn't have to worry about it. CHEAP...CHEAP...CHEAP DYSON .. I raised that question and asked if they can just sent me a working vacuum, but she didn't care and hung up. .... better buy a vacuum that lasts 6 months for $100 than buying Dyson vacuum for $600 that lasts two years total with all these problems. At least you will have something new every year..

QuestionWhy doesn’t the dyson cordless stick have an on/off switch? It’s awfully hard to hold the button for 40 minutes? It gets very sore on your hand!
Asked 6 years ago by Mani.

QuestionApparently, the Dyson stick vacuums all have to have their triggers held in the "On" position for the entire time they are being used. Is this true? This would be a deal breaker for my wife and anyone else with arthritis in their hands.
Asked 7 years ago by RDW2.
- Answer That's correct, you have to hold it. I was some what disappointed too, but it is an extremely easy machine to use. Didn't even think about it after a while because of the ease of no cord having to be plugged in and unplugged.

QuestionMy house is full of girls with long hair. My current vacuum constantly needs the brush's on the bottom rollers cleaned, cutting all the hair off each roller brush and pulling that fifty hair out. Will I have this problem with the Dyson V8 Absolute?
Asked 7 years ago by Marsha.
- Answer Hi Marsha, this is Krystal with Dyson. The Dyson V8 Absolute provides enough suction so that most debris ends up in the canister. However, occasionally brush bar maintenance is required on any machine with a rotating brush bar. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Support

QuestionWhy’s my soft cleanerhead difference from the video? On the video it has 2 brush bars 1 small and 1 big but my has only 1 big brush bars!
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer HI there, this is Krystal with Dyson. The soft roller cleaner head was recently redesigned. You have the newest design. It was redesigned without the 2nd roller as it was determined the 2nd roller makes no difference in performance and has no added value. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

QuestionIs there a lot of bending over when doing floors and carpet? I’m tall so just wondering about that. Also do you have to attach docking station right away to charge? I’m not sure if I can mount it on my wall myself.
Asked 7 years ago by SalMac.
- Answer Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for your interest in the Dyson V8 Absolute. This vacuum provides enough length to vacuum floors comfortably without having to bend over. The docking station is not a required part and can be charged without it. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service
