Incident[edit | edit source]

Dyson updated their repair policy to give customers the following three options to repair their Dyson devices:[1]

  • Visit a Dyson Service Center
  • Online troubleshooting
  • Contact Dyson

It is no longer an option to go to third party repair centers. Dyson further states that "it was a difficult decision to make", and that they "are committed to ensuring that all our services and repairs meet Dyson's high quality standards for our owners"[1]. There was no evidence provided that 3rd party repair centers could not live up to this standard.

On a related and more recent note, Dyson only provides replacement parts for parts that need no tools to replace, internal parts are not sold at all[2]. Dyson states that "the installation process could expose our customers to the risk of electrical shock, and all repairs should be carried out by a competent qualified engineer"[2], by which they mean only by Dyson.

Impact on consumers[edit | edit source]

Whenever customers need to repair their devices, they can only go to Dyson themselves for the repair.

Affected product lines[edit | edit source]

All Dyson products.
