What to do when Dyson Vacuum cleaner is not sucking?

First, identify the type of vacuum cleaner you are using since there are usually five types of Dyson Vacuums available in the market: cordless stick vacuum, multi-direction vacuum, handheld vacuum, robot vacuum, and upright vacuum.

Each of these types of vacuums might have different reasons for not sucking, and their solution might vary too.

  • If your Dyson cordless stick vacuum does not have those mentioned above, the reason could be a dirty filter that might have caused the problem.  You can check and wash it if needed.

If you are using a Dyson handheld vacuum cleaner, you will need to disconnect any attachments before trying to diagnose the issue. If the inlet’s suction power is weak, check the vacuum itself by removing the handheld vacuum’s filter and dirt container, which might need to be washed.
