Dyson V11 Torque.....a specific question.

[Dave7]

I know there was a good thread on vacuum cleaners but this is a specific question about the V11 Torque.
On the main head there is a red slider with +/-.
There is no indication what its for.
I can see that it moves the plastic gizmo inside the head up/down......but I cannot see why.
Any ideas ?

what does the manual say?

That is my point. There is no bl**dy manual. Nada, zilch, nothing. 550 quid and no instructions
Took us several hours to work out what some items were for. Eventually found they were seperate parts of the hanging/mounting thingy.
Spent hours googling.
Emailed Dyson......might get an answer next year if I am lucky.

We've recently purchased a "Henry" great bit of kit. One of the tubes has a red plastic slider with +/- indicators. It operates to let air into the tube which affects the amount of suction available at the brush head. Perhaps the Dyson works similarly?

EDIT
Didn't take in that the slider is in the head. Perhaps it's to switch between Carpet/ Hard floor?

Oh, will look at that. Thanks.
But the Torque is supposed to be "intelligent" as in it detects the surface and automatically adjusts.

Yeh, but, think how many more farms he can buy with your money, whilst avoiding inheritance tax.

There's nothing intelligent about bits of flimsy plastic moving about.

You can't tell i'm a previous disgruntled Dyson user can you?

As is my Bro.
We had 2......one at home and one in the static. No probs at all.
And TBH it all seems well made.

You have to realise that I am only a man
I will open that on my laptop tomorrow.
Thank you
I think @Tenkaykev might be on the right lines.

Or have any common sense

I disagree.
I married a good woman 52 years ago. I must have had some sense

She’s clearly the exception to the female rule however
