Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Parts: What They Do and Why They Matter

Dyson vacuum cleaners are built for powerful, flexible cleaning—but like any tool, they rely on the right parts to perform at their best. Whether you’re replacing a worn attachment or upgrading to tackle new cleaning challenges, understanding each component’s role can help you make the right choice.

Key Dyson Vacuum Parts and Their Uses

Motorised Cleaner Head
This is the main floor tool, perfect for deep-cleaning carpets and hard floors.
Common issue: If the brush bar stops spinning or suction drops, replacing the head can restore carpet-cleaning power.

Soft Roller Cleaner Head (‘Fluffy’ Head)
Specially designed for hard floors. The soft roller picks up fine dust and larger debris without scratching surfaces.
Ideal for: Wood, tile, or laminate floors. A replacement can fix poor performance on smooth surfaces.

Crevice Tool
A slim, angled nozzle that reaches tight spaces—between cushions, along skirting boards, or in car interiors.
Tip: If yours is missing or worn, replace it to clean narrow gaps more effectively.

Light Pipe Crevice Tool
Adds an LED light to the standard crevice tool, perfect for dark spaces behind radiators or under car seats.
Benefit: Lets you see and clean hidden dust more thoroughly.

Mini Motorised Tool
A compact brush for furniture, stairs, and car seats. Great for tackling pet hair and ground-in dirt.
Useful for: Upholstery and smaller spaces where a full-size tool is too bulky.

Combination Tool
A 2-in-1 attachment with a wide nozzle and soft brush.
Best for: Quick changes between dusting and vacuuming without swapping tools.

Mini Soft Dusting Brush
Gentle nylon bristles and a felt strip clean delicate areas like blinds, keyboards, and polished furniture.
Tip: Helps avoid scratches while removing fine dust.

Stubborn Dirt Brush
With stiff bristles to loosen dried mud or dirt from tough surfaces like car mats or doormats.
Ideal for: High-traffic or outdoor areas.

Low-Reach Adaptor
Bends up to 90° to clean under beds or sofas without bending down.
Benefit: Maintains suction while reaching under low furniture.

Extension Hose
Adds up to 61cm of flexible reach, great for cleaning high or awkward spots.
Use with: Most Dyson attachments to clean behind appliances or inside vehicles.

Up-Top Adaptor
Locks at different angles to reach high areas like cupboard tops and shelf edges.
Safety tip: Clean high places without using a step stool or ladder.

Mattress Tool
A flat nozzle for removing dust and allergens from mattresses and soft furnishings.
Great for: Allergy sufferers and regular bed maintenance.

Hair Screw Tool
Designed with a conical brush to prevent tangles while lifting hair and pet fur.
Perfect for: Pet owners struggling with long hair on fabric surfaces.

Why Replace or Upgrade Your Dyson Parts?

Over time, even high-quality parts wear out or lose effectiveness. Replacing them can:

  • Restore lost suction or cleaning performance

  • Improve access to tricky areas

  • Solve issues like tangled hair or ineffective dust pickup

  • Extend your vacuum’s lifespan and versatility

Maximise Your Dyson’s Cleaning Power

Every Dyson attachment has a purpose—from lifting pet hair to protecting delicate furniture. Swapping or upgrading the right part can transform how well your vacuum handles specific tasks.
