Do I have to buy the genuine Dyson part, or will a compatible one work?
Yes — a compatible (aftermarket) cleaner head works well in the Dyson V8 as long as it's made for this exact model. Look for 4.3+ stars with plenty of reviews, and confirm the listing names your exact model.
What happens if I don't replace the cleaner head?
