Almost four years ago I reviewed the Dyson DC07 Animal vacuum cleaner. Since then I’ve moved on to a DC14 Full Kit model. What I have never done in those four years is properly remove the trim to clean the “beater” brush bar that sweeps dust and other stuff into the vacuum.
Before I went back and read the directions (cough) I would just take a razor blade and cut away any hair or rug yarn that was wrapped around the beater bar. After reading the directions, I discovered that you can remove the plastic trim at the bottom of the vacuum. I wasn’t entirely sure how hard this was going to be, or what to expect, so I got out the camcorder and went to work.
Warning: not safe for work due to language.
For some reason I was expecting something more enlightened with it being a dyson.
I swear a dog jumped out of that vacuum when you took the cover off! I also enjoyed the use of such colorful metaphores during the video.
Dennis, I think it was a Pomeranian! Seriously, that was one of the funniest “How To” videos I’ve seen in a while :P.
I was sitting here screaming, flip the lever, flip the lever! I’m sure one of two things would happen. 1. Release tension on the belt allowing you to remove the brush. or 2. The entire base of the vacuum falls apart, possibly with springs in flight.
