Dyson Vacuum: Wet Dog Smell from Dyson Vacuum

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:53:57 -0700

I accidentally got water into the cyclonic portion of my Dyson alergy. I let it dry from 4 days and now when I use it, it smells like wet dog hair. Is there anyway of removing this smell without replacing the cyclonic canister?

Roborock Qrevo S: roborock Qrevo S Robot Lidar error. Check that the turret turns freely

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:46:48 -0700

Does anyone have a guide on how to disassemble the Qrevo S?

Context:

My robot hasn't hit the year mark and yet he doth betray me with the Lidar error. I tried spinning the lidar with a cotton swab a few (15) times (it turns just fine), cleaning the area with a toothpick and vacuum, moving it, soft resetting it, hard resetting it and now I'm at a loss.

I followed this guide initially, but unfortunately it doesn't get me all the way to the turret motor in my model: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/commen...

I have tried YouTube, google and am a hair's breadth away setting fire to my poor tool kit.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Dyson V15 Detect: Dyson V15 Detect stops after a few seconds with no indicators

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:42:14 -0700

I've had it for nearly 2 years. The problem occurs when I press the trigger—it runs for a few seconds and then stops (with its signature "wooump" sound). It repeats this 2-3 times before eventually working. However, now I can't get it to run for longer than a few seconds, even after several tries.

I’ve changed the filter and cleaned everything I can access. In some forums, I’ve read that it might be an issue with the "main body," (whatever that means) while others suggest it could just be a cracked trigger, which should be an easy fix.

Vacuum Cleaner: Roller on head attachment not working

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 23:50:48 -0700

I have a Ambiano stick vacuum that has a small brush attachment that is working fine, however when the long stick part and floor head is attached, it will not work. The roller in the attachment won’t turn but when I take the roller it self out, the attachment where the roller goes into will turn. Not sure what the problem is?

Narwal Freo Z10: Clean Water Tank Empty ... but it's NOT

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 07:59:47 -0700

We've had our Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra for about 6 months now. Love this thing! However, we seem to be having a recurring issue with the base station clean water tank. After filling the clean water tank and starting up, the narwal becomes angry from time to time and will say "fill clean water"... even though the tank is full and properly installed. My wife has found a temporary fix: using a baby medicine syringe to inject water into the base station clean water tank connection point. Doing this 3 or 4 times seems to clear up the issue... but a few days later same fault occurs. Anyone know of a root cause or complete fix?

Some things I have tried:

Cleaned both waste water and clean water tank thoroughly

Small pipe cleaner run through of all water lines to verify no obstructions

Thorough cleaning and maintenance of vacuum robot

This close to tearing the base station apart and doing a thorough cleaning.... when the wife isn't looking🫣
