How to submit a complaint with Dyson
If you have an issue with a Dyson product or service, follow these clear steps for quick submission:
1. Online & Phone:
- Phone: Call Dyson Customer Care directly at 1800 239 766 (Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 8am–5pm AEST). Have your product’s serial number handy.
- Live Chat: Initiate a live chat via the Dyson Australia website. Look for the chat icon on the bottom-right corner.
- Facebook Messenger: Message Dyson’s official Facebook page for quick online support.
2. Email:
- Send your complaint details to aucustomercare@dyson.com.
- Include your contact information, product model, serial number, proof of purchase, and clearly describe your complaint.
- Expect a response typically within 1–2 business days.
3. In-Person at Service Centre:
- Visit a Dyson Service Centre or Demo Store for face-to-face assistance.
- Call ahead to book appointments for complex complaints or repairs.
4. Via Dyson Link App:
- If using a Dyson smart device, submit issues via the Dyson Link App’s support section.
- For complex matters, phone or email are recommended for quicker resolutions.
Dyson’s complaint process aims to solve your issues quickly and efficiently:
- Initial Contact & Troubleshooting:
A Dyson Customer Care representative logs your issue, troubleshoots immediately, and provides resolution steps. - Warranty Verification & Repairs:
For warranty-covered products, Dyson typically arranges immediate repairs or replacement parts. They may send you a reply-paid label to return products for inspection or repairs. - Communication & Updates:
Dyson keeps you informed of the resolution timeline and expected outcomes via your chosen method (phone, email, or chat). - Case Management & Escalation:
Each complaint receives a unique case reference number for easy follow-up. Difficult complaints can be escalated to supervisors or case managers for faster resolution. - Resolution Timeframes:
Simple issues (troubleshooting or replacement parts) are often resolved immediately. Warranty replacements usually take around 1–2 weeks, with longer waits possible for complex issues or out-of-stock parts.
Dyson complies with Australian Consumer Law (ACL), ensuring your rights to refunds, replacements, or repairs for major product failures.
Common complaints against Dyson
These are recurring issues customers face with Dyson products and services:
- Battery & Performance Issues:
Common complaints include batteries losing charge quickly, reduced suction power, or frequent clogs. Dyson generally addresses these issues by offering free replacement batteries (under warranty) or detailed troubleshooting support. - Product Quality & Reliability Concerns:
Some customers report early breakdowns or product failures. Dyson typically remedies these through warranty repairs or replacements, though repeated issues can frustrate consumers. - Customer Service Frustrations:
Reports of rude customer service representatives, long wait times, or disconnected chats occur occasionally, particularly during peak periods. Dyson is working on improving responsiveness to minimise these issues. - Warranty & Repair Delays:
Lengthy delays during warranty repairs or replacements are a frequent concern, with some customers repeatedly asked to perform basic troubleshooting before getting substantive assistance. Persistent follow-up is sometimes required. - Price vs. Value Complaints:
Due to Dyson’s premium pricing, customers can be especially frustrated if products don’t meet durability expectations. Dyson generally attempts resolution by providing free repairs, replacements, or usage tips.

Real Dyson complaints and how they were resolved
Delayed Warranty Replacement: A customer waited months for a cordless vacuum replacement after multiple follow-ups. After escalation and persistence, Dyson finally sent a new vacuum about 3 months after the initial complaint. (Tip: Always request a case manager and reference number for persistent issues.)
Unsuccessful Repairs Leading to Refund: A Dyson fan remained broken after multiple repair attempts over several months. Dyson initially refused a refund. The customer cited Australian Consumer Law, prompting Dyson to reconsider and issue a refund. (Takeaway: Escalate and reference consumer law if repairs fail repeatedly.)
Quick Exchange at Store: A customer received a damaged Dyson Airwrap. Visiting a local Dyson Demo Store, they immediately received a replacement. (Tip: For quick resolutions (e.g. dead-on-arrival issues), visiting a store in person can expedite the process significantly.)
If your initial complaint isn't resolved satisfactorily, follow these escalation steps:
- Request Higher-Level Support:
During calls, chats, or emails, explicitly request escalation to a supervisor or case manager. Keep detailed notes of names and reference numbers. - Formal Written Complaint:
Draft a clear complaint email explicitly marked as a “formal complaint” to Dyson’s customer care email, providing detailed history and previous interactions. - Head Office Letter:
Write a formal complaint to Dyson’s Australian Head Office:
Dyson Appliances (Aust.) Pty Ltd, PO Box 2835, Taren Point, NSW 2229. - Social Media:
Post your issue on Dyson’s official Facebook or Twitter channels. Dyson’s social media teams actively monitor these platforms and respond quickly. - Third-Party Consumer Advocacy:
As a last resort, involve consumer advocates like Choice or consider mentioning you may take the issue to media or external bodies, often prompting quicker resolution.

While Dyson isn't governed by a specific industry ombudsman, Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and state consumer protection agencies offer robust protection:
- ACCC & Consumer Law:
The ACCC Consumer Rights Guide explains your entitlement to repairs, replacements, or refunds for faulty products. - NSW Fair Trading (or State Equivalent):
Lodge unresolved complaints with your local consumer affairs body. In NSW, use NSW Fair Trading Complaint Portal. - Small Claims Tribunal:
For monetary disputes not resolved by Fair Trading mediation, consider your local small claims tribunal. Usually, mediation from Fair Trading resolves issues without needing formal court processes. - No Appliance-Specific Ombudsman:
Appliance complaints fall under general consumer law rather than a dedicated ombudsman. The ACCC and state Fair Trading agencies are your primary external escalation options.
