On March 22, 2025, my Dyson Gen5 Detect vacuum suddenly stopped working during use and wouldn’t turn back on. The next day, March 23, I contacted Dyson support by phone. We did a video call and ran several diagnostics, and they concluded the issue was with the battery. They promised to send a replacement battery.
On March 28, the new battery arrived, but it didn’t fix the issue—the vacuum still wouldn’t start. I reached out again via WhatsApp and had another video call with a technician named T****. This time, I was told the problem wasn’t the battery, but the main body of the vacuum. They instructed me to return the battery and assured me the main unit would be sent to me instead.
I returned the battery on March 29, but when I called Dyson again on April 4 to follow up, I was told they would not be sending a new main unit after all and that the device must now go through a service process.
So why did they waste over a week of my time and give me false information? If they were never going to replace the body, why tell me they would? This is completely unacceptable from a premium brand like Dyson. If this situation isn’t resolved as promised, I will continue to press the matter and escalate. I expect Dyson to honor what was stated during the support call and resolve this issue without more runaround.
