Morning all

Finally, my Dyson v11 not working anymore after 5 years as the motor make 'duhh duhh duhh' sound when press the buttton.

Send it to non-authorized service center and they quote me 900++ to change the motor.
Anyone change the motor by yourself before? Coz I found the motor in Shopee original around 400+ and compatible around 200+ only.
Wanna know if there any successful story here changed the motor before, coz I have all the tools.

Scared to check Dyson service center in TTDI, sure the repair price almost as new.

Die soon

Dudududu~~~ sound

buy a new one lorrrrrrrr

Dieson diejor.

check got any obstruction first lo

900++ can buy a new V8 already no need repair the V11 kek

RM900 for motor change? It is just because Dyson stuff are expensive. Internally, the electronics are simple only. Some higher end one use expensive coating to protect boards from moisture. The motor is probably not even RM100. They are sourced from China.

My factory made many PCB assemblies fro Dyson before it is sent to a plastic company in Johor for complete assembly. I'm responsible to estimate cost to produce the PCBAs. I think it is not difficult to replace the motor yourself if you can observe the right sequence. I only dismantle bladeless fan long time ago when Dyson first start its product. It took me about 10 minutes to assemble it together.

To be honest I do not own any Dyson product because for me it is too overpriced. Not saying the quality is bad too expensive for practical consumer product for me.

was there a strong burning smell before the drum n bass dududu lost power

usually spinning shafts like to catch hair that gets tangled up real bad, normal with fans, not sure here same

anyway it'll be a good experiment to replace the motor

I send to dyson service centre at ttdi
Cost me 700
2 years ago

Why not you buy parts online and watch YT to self-repair.

the repair cost can buy a brand new v8

buy new one

V11 to V8 is a huge downgrade in terms of suction power.

Either repair the V11 or buy the better model, which is Gen5. Skip V12 since V12 is also a downgrade from V11.

See whether if this helps, one of the fault seems similar to your description.

The repairman said the motor damage due to water but the weird part is I deep clean the unit before send for repair and didnt see any trace of water.
I take out the parts most of it but didnt touch the motor, till end I still cannot see trace of water or moisture.
I wont buy dyson as u said its overprice but this unit bought when I was in States and during boxing day + cybermonday sale around $179 with 12 months installment 0% interest. Its quite a deal I think so I grab it.


no burning smell at all. Spinning shafts you mean the motor? Dont think hear can penetrate the filter, only small dust or water can
Yeah, chances to repair it myself is high now since I found the parts online


Wow means the repairman quote me same as Dyson service center price hahahah damn


Yup, found the video, not that complicated.

Planned obsolescence

yeah not v8.

v12 downgrade from v11? Havent study yet

Yes. i myself fix my xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner by watching bilibili.

It was sensor problem, i replaced them by buying new ones from Taobao.

yeah found this video too that boost my confident to do it myself.

Masalah T1

B40 like me boughted RM200 Panasonic corded vacuum on Shopee after tolak baucher.

Okay la, it work as expected.

150AW (V12) vs 185AW (V11).

Yeah it's a downgrade to me. V12 is the upgraded version of V8. It was meant to be light, but not powerful.

I have V15 and V8 in my house. The difference in suction power between those 2 is huge. I only use V8 for car cleaning and daily vacuuming on the hardfloors. For thorough vacuuming, I use V15 for upstairs and DC52 for downstairs.

after change motor, the battery will be next. another RM300 for the battery.

just self replace.
machine from shopee / tabao , approximately RM300-RM350 .

thats why I dun like the newer stick dyson....

my ancient dyson still going strong

lel

compared axia to BMW and justify same car only mah, as long can bring you go to destination

BTW TS bought $179, still cheap compared to RM200 Panasonic.

LOL
better buy a new one then

not that they duno. they want lifestyle, so bayar saja.

V8 is the best performing vacuum of all version.

V10 and V11 is the most problematic but the most sparepart available.

I m using V11.

Change the motor and the trigger button cost me RM750 from Dyson service center in TTDI.

Look like the non-authorized service center is even worst. Crazy.

In States, so many brand which better than Dyson with cheaper price. Dyson only a hype worldwide.
Normal day Dyson around $300-450 and I will not buy it. The other reason I buy it because I know Dyson in Malaysia too rather than I go for Red Devil, Shark, Kuose bla bla bla brand.

I earn in Dollar last time so technically correct its cheaper than RM200 Panasonic yangg I know the performance is not as good as Dyson..

Bila bro? Which year? Recently?
Symptom like mine?

anyone got dyson with battery that last more then 4 years?

I got 2 units of Die-soon portable vacuum cleaners. Battery replacements cost more than a Bosch 18V vacuum plus charger plus extra batteries. Left it in the store room for several years now.

but can repack the battery easily, just take if need soldering dont overheat the Li and burn the house down

Majority of articles in Internet are telling that the lithium battery life does not really depend on how long it has been used but rather how many time it has been recharge. Most articles said the lifetime is at 500 time recharging, but I think nowadays the number is more than that due to advancement in technology.

Same symptom. 2yrs ago I guess.

Mine 5+ years... battery still last like original

Thank bro.

Do they give warranty for few months after changed the motor?

my v8 used in office abuse kaw kaw. even use to vacuum renovation dust. still going strong

6 mth.

Most of the destruction dust.

All the vacuum short life if it kena this dust.

can consider upgrade to dreame vacuum+mop function vacuum.

quite good

lol, my dyson v8, dunno how many times jatuh, wahpiang, still works. age - pre covid summore.

my v12 bought in 2023 still doing fine. some more got harvey norman 2+2 warranty.

here's hoping to last at least like your v11 5 years.

i always watch out not to vacuum any liquids on the floor, only dry dusts though.

U lucky la bro. Mine 5 years ++ but I dont use everyday. I have DC38 which is around 8-9 years kot, still running strong.

Teringat my dad old vacuum by Electrolux the long type model. I remember dad using it since I kindergarten and last raya I pull it under the bed, still working and sucking. Wish modern vacuum can last like that.

Bro this 2+2 from harvey norman is scam so far hahhahah
I bought this extended warranty for TV Fridge and Washing machine all with extended warranty from Harvey Norman
Right after the extended warranty end, the device Kaput bro.... wth... seems like they know when their barang goes rosak wei. Got hantu

Anyone claim under the 2+2 program before? Do they cange 1 to 1 or equivalent current value? Neve experience it before..

buy the motor n swap je. YT ada. u can do it

deswai buy tineco can pakai buang jekkk

2023 is nothing to be proud of mang...
my national vacuum cleaner 20 years. the only problem is its 10 times bigger than a dyson and same sucking power.

If you happen to go to Japan or know anyone heading back from there - get one from there

I’m aiming for this. Dirt cheap for cordless vacuum + mop. RM1,450 only!

https://www.dyson.co.jp/vacuum-cleaners/wet...ine/iron-nickel

curious what vacuum u using now after dyson. Reliability and endurance aside, this dyson portable vacuum kengchau as the price or not?

Whats expensive is the labour costs & the R&D behind Dyson technology . The part is cheap because its from China. The electronics look simple because Dyson have invested huge R&D to make it simple.

Dyson is assembled in Malaysia , parts from China but they follow strictly the technology & manuals from Dyson

U want cheap, can just buy the part from Shopee and fix yourself. Less than 400

I am using Dyson as well. Best vacuum i have ever used

Serious la this cheap? Or scam?

Obviously scam. When shopping on shopee, always look at the store name. This store steal the pictures from dyson official and put it on their store

can go to ttdi sc and let them to have a look on it at no cost
then they will give you a quotation, then decide to repair or not lah
sometime they might give you discount on new unit too
you can also maki maki and break their glass door, seen it twice and so far no pipul post in social media

if you're replacing it and just using it for your floor, consider getting cheap ccp wet vacuum
those are in many ways better than dyson dry vac, the roborock F25 series perform exceptionally well
doesn't cross contaminate your floor too much, and comes with self cleaning and drying too
but have to warn you about this, only get cheap wet vacuum, as these are problematic
every brands shark tineco bissell even dyson also the same, dyson one is more durable but a fucking hassle to clean
when it works it's great when it doesn't it make your blood boils, when it spoils just dump it and get a new one

anyone here still with V6? this thing refuse to mati. already new head and new battery and v15 cause want play with laser

Buy new Dreame🤭

Use Dibea je la

Cheap and good

this is more fun than laser, can remote control with app summore
just don't get the combo unit, cause the dry vacuum suck compared to dyson

i have a roborock h7 with broken clip latch (the red button) ? Anyone knows where to get a replacement ?

Its good for its price but its nowhere as good as Dyson when it comes to suction power.

Dibes makes alot of noise but the suction not strong

Nope

It depends on which model

F20 Max is good, you will not regret

I tried that model before at friends house. So so only. Still cant fight dyson suction power and motor efficiency

The performance difference is only 10%

90% is matter of vanity

I worked in factory. I can know how much it cost to make one. The R&D cost maybe high during development time but then reduced over time because basic circuitry design is the same. However, Dyson has many engineers to pay salary for each different models and groups of product but many share the same basic design. The circuitry is not complex like product from other customers of us. We are also involved in giving feedback to Dyson on maneuverability (DFM) during design stage.

I'm not saying those buy Dyson is stupid or anything but for me it is just not good for price/value for me.

V12 focused on mobility and portability, not to say a downgrade, more like a version that is smaller, lighter but do not compromise a lot in suction power despite being downsized.
As compared to their smaller Digital Slim version which is much weaker

And the Laser light from V12 is very good yo.

Thank goodness mine is still ok.

You need to change the HEPA filter though at around 2 years time.

did you?
I never change once in 5 years, just ketuk2 clean it only. I think this could be one of the reason why the motor Kaput

You cant just count the raw material costs. There are so many other costs

R&D costs
Manufacturing plant costs
Raw materials costs
Labour costs
Licensing costs
Salaries
Utilities costs
Logistics costs
Marketing costs
Etc etc

Those were the days when Dyson was highly reliable and giving out 5 years warranty. Nowadays they only dare to give 2 years warranty since they know problem will start coming after the 2nd year.

I clean it once every few months. But notice the motor sound is louder after some time. So I just changed the new filter and the noise is lower. Been 5 years coming to 6.

My another dyson is coming to 3rd year, but this is used less so I didn't change the filter.

But I think the biggest reason for motor kaput is water. It could be a small drop of water on the floor that you accidentally missed and suck in.

Manufacturing plant cost, Raw Material Cost, Labor Cost, Licensing Cost, etc are not under Dyson costs already because they outsource the PCBA and complete assembly. These are under the contract manufacturer. Logistic, Marketing, etc are generally the same like other manufacturer with similar products. Main cost for Dyson is basically R&D.

I used to work in a US company with staff around 100 person only, producing telecommunication product. The PCBA and other mechanical parts are being outsource. Final assembly and testing is done in company factory. We were making like USD30 mil. I would say huge margin compare to cost because product is not end consumer product but communication industry players. Provide 2 years warranty. Unlike end consumer products, you do not need to come up with new model every year like smartphone

I'd say Dyson has established to put its name as luxury item like Apple. Marketing is good so the consumer are willing to pay to its price.

My dad also have an old Electrolux vacuum cleaner, metal body too. Still going on strong.

But the real reason those machines last, is when compared to say Dyson, it's suction power is nowhere near Dyson. Dyson's motor is a real precision engineering when compared to most old vacuum cleaner.

But to me it's worth it. After using a few cordless vacuum, nothing come close to Dyson.

Not worth the risk for 15 mins usage.

Dyson strongest suction , but need good maintenance .
Because their filtration system is good , every dust is contain inside the vacuum and the filters.

Therefore frequent maintenance of filter and overhaul cleaning required every 1-2 years.

The important is, do not suck fine concrete dust or those construction dust.

This dust is abrasive and easily go into the bearing, wear the fan fin, motor etc.

No vacuum can survive for long.

I used to think dyson vacuum is overrated, until I bought my first entry level V8.

Don't fall for V8. I almost fell for the cheap offer during 6.6. The comment section says it's heavy and has to keep pressing the button to use it until finger pain. What kind of design is that.
get xiaomi g20 max with better suction than that crappy v8.

https://carousell.app.link/FvEku4es5Tb

RM290 .. cheaper than buying new dyson

you never use dyson v8 before also , how you know crappy ?
press button until pain ? then don't buy normal vacuum , just but robot mop .. then what pain also don't have

Did DIY change motor from Shopee for V10. Not too difficult when following YouTube. There is only a part bending the thick battery connector requires some skill, but the rest is fairly simple. Make sure you got the tool for Dyson special screw.

Yes. For this purpose buy cheap wet dry type

Any vacuum that suctions air into fine bubbles though water as filtering agent instead of fiber? I think this will keep constant suction power?

Water as filtering reduce the dust in the container from flying around. That can prolong the vacuum lifespan.

But heavy and mess to clean. You're dragging and carrying a few liter of water+vacuum.

Have to clean everytime after vacuum. If not the filter like a cake stuck with a layer of dirt. That will block the suction.

Nowaday, people want convenience and light. Handheld vacuum is popular now compared to the container cord type. So kena careful what you suck.

Really haaa.. not sure coincident or your theory is true.
My 5 years old v11 kaput after I moved in to a new house. As new house sure got alot of concrete dust around and I use v11 to clean it.

This weekend I will try to take out the motor and update this topic.

I got same issue. Cost me around 550-750 back in Dyson SC to change the board. Its board issue and CONSIDERED KNOWN ISSUE. Ur lucky its happened after 5 years. I got mine after 3 years

I use a lot of vacuum to suck all this. And yes, it won't survive long. No matter what brand and how strong is it.

So if you want to vacuum such dust or new house, get a cheap cord vacuum with bag type. Like Panasonic bag type cost less then RM300.

It's my experience. Not theory.

Could be valid.
My v11 last 5 years because I gave TLC to it. Never allow my maid and kids to use it except I used it to suck the concreate dust once move to new house.
So when it fail, I feel really disappointed.

Thanks bro

i repaired mine at the official service centre for RM700+ around 2 years ago

u know that in life you don't have to experience shitty things to know it is shitty. Just spend some time reading the review section will give you an idea what the product is like.
If i need to keep pressing the button to make it work, to me it is crap. If i need to keep pressing the rice cooker button to cook rice, then it's badd design.
Normal vacuum that i use so far just press on once. Not keep pressing. Maybe u have been buying things that need to be pressed continuously to work and don't know that the market has better options to press once.

Relax bro .. dah nama pun 'portable' so no need to turn on all the time. Unless I use v11 to vacuum the whole house might be im a no brainer.

Dyson owner not that stupid as you imagine, we appreciate the suction power compare others. I wont turn on a switch to suck a small dirt done by my kids for only 2-3 seconds. Dont bring a rice cooker into the discussion and do comparison, mcm tak kena. Hahhaha should tag the topic 'Dyson Owner' only.

Get the cheaper dyson ball to vacuum the whole house...

the cordless v8 v11 are great to take out to vacuum the car... or vacuum a bit of hair at the corner of the room, instead of pulling the heavy vacuum and unwinding the cord to clean a little bit
