How to Attach Dyson Vacuum Attachments?

Here is a comprehensive guide on putting attachments onto a Dyson vacuum. Follow the below-mentioned step-by-step instructions to complete your task efficiently;

1- Turning off the vacuum

Before working with any electrical equipment, it is always safe to turn it off completely. Similarly, in this procedure, you will have to unplug your Dyson vacuum before heading into the next step of removing the wand or attaching anything onto the head of the hose. If you are not already aware, the rod is the thin pole that comes out of the handle. If you haven’t turned off the vacuum before detaching the handle, your hose may jump and fly over or even knock something down.

2- Releasing the wand

The next step involves the detachment of the releasing of the wand. For this, you will have to press the red button located on the machine’s backside at the meeting point of the rod and the frame. You will have your wand and hose removed at the same time. You will have to pull the handle up and lift the rod out to pull out the hose.

3- Flipping the plastic cover

A plastic cover is present on the top of the handle. You will have to flip this plastic cover to get access to the opening. This is the opening from where your hose slides into and connects to your wand.

4- Sliding the hose into the handle

The next step involves the sliding of the hose into the handle until you hear a clicking sound. For this, you will have to turn the wand around so that your hose and handle are facing each other. Now, slide the hose into the opening presentation on the top of the handle. Keep on sliding till you hear a clicking sound. This clicking sound is proof that your hose and wand are clicked into the place and are interlocked. After this, when you turn the vacuum on, you will see it automatically pull in air through the hose instead of the vacuum’s head.

5- Sliding the attachment

This is the step where you slide your desired attachment into the wand. To attach the Dyson attachment of your choice onto the vacuum, you will have to slide the opening to the end of the wand. Now, keep on rotating the attachment until it efficiently adheres to the end of the wand. In this case, you will not listen to any clicking sound as your attachment will comply with the hose.

Removing or changing attachments

After you have used the particular attachment, you can now press the red button again to unlock the hose from the handle. Now, slide the hose back into the required slot or point on your vacuum and flip the wand around. This will reinsert your handle. You can also take off the attachment from the end of your wand by applying a little pressure.

Choosing the Right Attachment for Different Surfaces

From the instructions mentioned above, you will quickly attach your Dyson vacuum and change these attachments whenever you want. We have listed below some of the efficient Dyson attachment ideals for various unique and sensitive surfaces.

You can use a dusting brush attachment to clean surfaces that tend to be more sensitive. This dusting brush is around 4 – 8 cm in length in a rectangular shape. Moreover, this brush has a long and soft bristle coming out of it that aid in effective cleaning.
