How to Remove the Canister (Clear Bin) from a Dyson Cyclone

Published in Dyson Vacuum Maintenance 2 mins read


To remove the canister, commonly known as the clear bin, from a Dyson cyclone unit, you typically perform a two-step process based on the vacuum cleaner's design. The first step releases the entire cyclone assembly from the machine, and the second step detaches the clear bin specifically from the cyclone part.

Here's how to remove the clear bin fully:

## Steps to Remove the Clear Bin

Based on the provided instructions, the process involves releasing the cyclone assembly first, and then detaching the clear bin itself.

1.  **Release the Cyclone Assembly:**
    *   Begin by **holding the machine by the handle**.
    *   Locate the red lever, often situated near the handle or the top of the bin/cyclone assembly.
    *   **Pull the red lever back**. This action unlocks the main cyclone and bin assembly from the vacuum cleaner body.
    *   **Lift upwards to release the cyclone** (which includes the clear bin attached).

2.  **Detach the Clear Bin from the Cyclone:**
    *   With the cyclone assembly released or removed from the main unit, you can now specifically detach the clear bin.
    *   **Press the red Bin release catch located to the rear of the clear Bin**. This catch is separate from the lever used in step 1 and is specifically for opening or detaching the bin itself.
    *   Once the catch is pressed, you can **remove the clear Bin fully** from the cyclone component.

This sequence allows you to empty or clean the clear bin separately from the cyclone filtration unit.

## Cleaning Your Clear Bin

The reference also notes how to clean the bin once removed:

*   **Clean the bin with a damp cloth only.** Avoid using detergents or submerging the bin in water, as this can damage components. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the cyclone and vacuum.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove and maintain the clear bin of your Dyson vacuum cleaner.
