Recent updates to manufacturing has also restricted serviceability of the product to repair the issue. | The trigger on V10 and V11 models of the Dyson cordless vacuums are very prone to breaking as the material and reinforcement of the piece is not sufficient.

The trigger has several minor reinforcements, so the weakness of the thin material used is known, but savings seem to be put in place to not extend these fortifications beyond the weakest areas. | The trigger has several minor reinforcements, so the weakness of the thin material used is known, but savings seem to be put in place to not extend these fortifications beyond the weakest areas. | ||

Triggers are not replaceable on their own, and require a new main body component in order to replace the trigger.<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 Jun 2023 |title=Cordless V11 - Trigger Switch Issue |url=https://community.dyson.com/using-your-dyson-cordless-vacuum-or-wet-cleaner-133/cordless-v11-trigger-switch-issue-1688 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250602082838/https://community.dyson.com/using-your-dyson-cordless-vacuum-or-wet-cleaner-133/cordless-v11-trigger-switch-issue-1688 |archive-date=2 Jun 2025 |access-date=2 Jun 2025 |via=Dyson Community}}</ref> | Triggers are not replaceable on their own, and require a new main body component in order to replace the trigger.<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 Jun 2023 |title=Cordless V11 - Trigger Switch Issue |url=https://community.dyson.com/using-your-dyson-cordless-vacuum-or-wet-cleaner-133/cordless-v11-trigger-switch-issue-1688 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250602082838/https://community.dyson.com/using-your-dyson-cordless-vacuum-or-wet-cleaner-133/cordless-v11-trigger-switch-issue-1688 |archive-date=2 Jun 2025 |access-date=2 Jun 2025 |via=Dyson Community}}</ref> | ||
