Dyson V8 Motorhead – Plus.Parts® Maintenance Set

The Dyson V8 Motorhead is the carpet-focused entry configuration in the V8 range, delivering 115 AW suction with up to 40 minutes of runtime. Its primary tool is the direct-drive motorised cleaner head with stiff nylon bristles for carpet agitation. Hair wraps at both bearing ends of the brush bar during use; clearing both end caps every one to two weeks by releasing them and cutting any wrapped hair free prevents the brush bar motor’s thermal cutout from activating mid-clean. Both the pre-motor filter and the post-motor HEPA filter are washed monthly under cold running water until the rinse water runs clear, then dried upright in a well-ventilated area for a minimum of 24 hours before the machine is reassembled. Never refit either filter damp: moisture exposure permanently damages the motor housing.

This kit is a Plus.Parts® alternative to the original Dyson parts /, supplying 2 matched pairs of washable HEPA filters (4 filters in total), a bin cover and quick-release buttons (small and large). The two filter pairs support a continuous run-and-wash rotation: one pair stays in the machine while the other completes its mandatory 24-hour air-dry after washing. The bin cover replaces the wear-prone lid that cracks under repeated point-and-shoot emptying; the quick-release buttons – supplied in both small and large sizes – restore the snap-fit that holds attachments securely during use. Wash both filters cold-water only, rubbing firmly until the rinse water runs clear, then leave them upright in a well-ventilated area for a full 24 hours before refitting. Never use heat, detergent or a washing machine. Replace both filters after approximately 12 months of normal use, or sooner if repeated washing no longer restores visible whiteness.
