How to Replace Dyson V10 HEPA Filter (Step-by-Step Guide)
Replacing the Dyson V10 hepa filter is a DIY job of about 10 minutes. Replace it Every 12 months under normal use. Full step-by-step below.
The V10 filter is one cylindrical washable unit that twists out of the top-rear. Because it's washable, replace it only when rinsing no longer restores airflow or the mesh is damaged. It differs from the V7/V8 and V11 filters, so match it to the V10.

About the Dyson V10
The Dyson V10 (Cyclone V10) is a cordless stick that uses a single whole-machine washable filter at the top-rear — a HEPA-grade sealed unit, not a separate pre/post pair. This page covers that filter.
Step-by-Step: Replacing the Dyson V10 HEPA Filter
⚠ Common mistakes on the V10
The V10 mistake that damages motors is refitting the filter before it's fully dry — Dyson specifies 24 hours of air-drying. The second is cross-threading the twist-lock on refit.
✓ OEM vs aftermarket for the V10
Genuine Dyson V10 filters guarantee the seal that keeps the machine truly HEPA; aftermarket filters are cheaper and acceptable when the listing names the V10 (SV12), but a poor seal defeats a sealed-HEPA machine.
The Dyson V10 hepa filter should be replaced Every 12 months under normal use — sooner with pets or daily heavy use. Signs it's due: Reduced suction, musty odor.
