My dogs hair is caught inside the Bissell Turbo Brush and I can't get it open to clean it out. Does anyone know how to disassemble this part?

Sorry can't help. I used mine one time and was totally disappointed with it and no longer use it. Shouldn't have bought it.

Yes, you can remove the brush. You need to use something in the shape of a quarter, and loosen the end that holds the brush. It does take a little energy to loosen though. I also use a small pair of scissors to cut through the long hairs, and then remove with my hands. I also have a little tool that can take the lint and other items out, kind of like a comb. Then you put the brush back into the holder and tighten. Remember to look in the bottom of the sweeper to be sure that nothing is lodged inside, which will prevent the machine from working, when this happens. I do not have any pets, so I hope this helps.

Take the bottom plate off with a quarter and look at the belt. If it is broke save it and go to a vacuum repair center with the belt, or call dyson and they will ship you a new one. I just did this as mine just broke 2 weeks ago. Easy fix DIY save $$$

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

That screw was impossible for me to remove. I did remove it at first and put in batteries, but could not get it out the second time. I finally pried open the compartment and then duct taped it closed. I also had to duct tape the wand on, since it came off or the cats pulled it off. That stayed on. My advice is to, once you get the compartment opened, don't put the screw back in. Just tape the lid.

I have successfully vacuumed up pieces of thread with the Bissell, but it is not strong enough of a motor to handle dog hairs! You need a bigger vacuum cleaner for that kind of job, I'm afraid.

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

Have you checked the roller in the bottom of the vacuum? Could be tangled with hair. Secondly, the motor and canister areas need to be cleaned out or they will get congested with dust/particles.

My unscrews and comes apart for cleaning. It was screwed in pretty tight but eventually I was able to unscrew it and it cleaned up nicely.

Sorry, perhaps checking if you find some obstruction in side the blades portion of the unit. perhaps with a strong blow of hair drier. Or use a thin long brush, i.e bottle brush. God Luck.

There is a picture on the side of the vacuum. It's tricky and you need the tool to grab and twist it on, but it can be done. Hope that helps.

I found there are tons of YouTube videos that show you step by step how to take it apart and clean it. Mine wasn't working at all - the toggle had no resistance and wouldn't permit the airflow to pass through the brush. My husband watched the video and took it apart and put it back together again. Tedious but definitely something anyone can repair. Not sure if your problem is from dried makeup or perhaps a Non-Dinair product, but I'm sure it can be corrected. Good luck!

When you assembled the unit, you screwed on the handle in a clockwise direction, if I remember correctly. You should be able to disassemble it by unscrewing the handle.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

Unfortunately, this happened to ours as well. Then, it simply fell apart. We returned it as we had only used it for a trim one or two times before this occured. It is a great design and a fantastic tool if it wasn't so poorly made. If they could work out the kinks we would try it again.

You have to unscrew it like a top. Hold the top grooves with your hands and twist it off, hope this helps. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it is just now falling apart, need to buy a new one!!

i had this problem a few months ago, however if you remover the brush and remove the hair from it, it works. Hope this solves your issue.NB I watched the YouTube video on how to clean the brush
