At Dusti, we’ve spent over 25 years repairing Dyson vacuums across Melbourne from the inner city to the outer suburbs. And in that time, we’ve seen it all. From vacuums that appear “possessed” to strange objects lodged in cyclones, each repair tells a story about the people who rely on these machines every day.

So if your Dyson is acting up and you're wondering whether it’s fixable believe us, you’re not alone. Here are just a few of the most remarkable Dyson vacuum repair stories we’ve encountered in Melbourne.

The Cursed Vacuum of South Melbourne

One of our most unforgettable cases came from a woman in South Melbourne who claimed her Dyson was cursed. Every time she used it, it would make unsettling noises, shut off randomly, or just refuse to start.

After a full diagnostic at our Melbourne vacuum cleaner repair centre, our technicians discovered a small piece of hardened plastic wedged deep within the motor housing. Once removed, the vacuum purred like new. She left our store feeling relieved and declared her home officially “curse-free.”

It's just another example of how a quick repair can restore peace of mind and a clean floor.

The Pet Hair Monster in St Kilda

Pet owners across Melbourne love their furry companions but their vacuums don’t always agree. One St Kilda resident with a large golden retriever came to us complaining her Dyson couldn’t handle the dog hair avalanche.

After a thorough filter clean and a motor check, we realised the machine wasn’t equipped for heavy pet shedding. We helped her upgrade to a Dyson model designed for animal hair and even gave her a maintenance routine to keep it working efficiently.

The Mystery of the Burnt Rubber in Caulfield

In Caulfield, a customer arrived at our store with her Dyson emitting a strong burnt rubber smell. That’s usually a red flag often indicating belt or motor damage. But this case had a twist.

Upon disassembly, our technicians found a child’s toy, a couple of socks, and even a half-melted pencil lodged inside the brush housing. These foreign objects were creating enough friction to heat up and release a burning odour.

After a full clean and part replacement, the vacuum was back to full performance. It was a reminder that regular cleaning and proper use go a long way toward prolonging your vacuum’s life.
