How to wash your Dyson V8 cord-free vacuum’s filters. In normal use, both filters should be washed at least once a month. Use tap water without detergent, and allow both filters to dry for at least 24 hours, in a warm place with plenty of airflow. Check the filter is completely dry before refitting, or it could damage the motor.
Step 1. Lift the pre-filter out of the cyclone assembly.
Step 2. Rotate the post-filter anti-clockwise until the two solid black dots line up and pull the post-filter off the back of the machine. Step 3. Wash both filters with water only.
Step 4. Turn the pre-filter upside-down and tap to remove any excess debris.
Step 5. Run water over the inside and outside of the pre-filter then tap and shake the filter to expel all debris.
Step 6. Repeat the process until the water runs clear.
Step 7. Squeeze and twist with both hands to make sure the excess water is removed.
Step 8. Run water into the open side of the post filter then tap and shake the filter to expel all debris.
Step 9. Repeat the process until the water runs clear.
Step 10. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours, in a warm place with plenty of airflow
Step 11. Ensure the filters are completely dry before refitting into the machine, or it could damage the motor.
Step 12. Refit the pre-filter into the cyclone assembly.
Step 13. Refit the post-filter onto the machine. First align the two solid black dots, then rotate clockwise until the solid black dot lines up with the empty circle.

Vous ne payez pas l’eau , pensez à la planète 🌍
I followed the instructions and now the vaccuum wont work lmao. Maybe i didnt dry the filters long enough. I let them dry for 24 hours but others say dry for 48 hours?
Why did we take the back bit off??
Thanks for the video! Going to clean the filters now. FYI to the people in drought areas, you don't have to leave the sink running the entire time. You only need it while you rinse. It's ok to turn it off…..
I repaired one of those hoovers. Was in a bad state. Opened up the top filter, after giving it a bloody good soaking and it was full of crap, hair, fibres, god knows what else. Cleaned it out properly while trying not to snap the crap plastic clips and it worked perfectly afterwards.
Nice to see on how Dyson has made an excellent, rampant change, in the way they design their vacuum cleaners these days.
Also, it's nice that Dyson addressed the recent problems, back then when the DC35 had a battery problem, which was very common and annoyingly enough, it happens every 5 to 6 times while in use.
The simplicity on Dyson's internal filter configuration, is a nice change when the DC59 was introduced.
Also, the DC59 served as the later and current build of Dyson's later models of cordless vacuum cleaners.
Bravo pour l’eau qui coule inutilement… 🤬
"anti-clockwise"
There are a lot of places in the world, including Colorado, where I live, where running the water at length to rinse out a vacuum filter would be considered wasteful. We don't even run the water while brushing our teeth. Most of the American West is experiencing a terrible drought. It's time to update your filter cleaning method. Personally, I leave them to soak in warm water in a mixing bowl then run my fingers over them to loosen the dirt, soak again, repeat as needed until you can't see much if any dirt in the rinse water. Seems to work well and probably uses a quarter of the water you would use with the method in this video.
Looks like he needs to watch a how to video on how not to scratch your counter tops and sinks.
Yes so helpful to know, but the amount of water being wasted makes me cringe. Could we at least lower the water pressure 😳
Thx you so much I thought mine was broken 🤣🤣🤣
