If you have a Dyson vacuum cleaner, then you might want to know what model you have. Whether you’re looking for a replacement part or are just curious, here’s how to find your Dyson model on your vacuum.
To find out what Dyson model you have, locate the label on the back of the battery pack. When you remove the battery, you’ll be able to see the name and model number of your vacuum.
There are a number of reasons you’d want to know what model of vacuum you have, but finding it isn’t always so easy.
In this article, we will walk you through the best way of locating your model and what it means.
Why Do You Need the Model Number?
In most cases, you will need to find the model number for your Dyson vacuum if you need a replacement part. Whether you need new attachments or a battery replacement, it’s important to provide Dyson with the model so that they can give you the right attachment for the job.
Checking ahead of time to make sure the part and model are compatible is an easy and important step, since incompatible parts won’t work with different Dyson models than they’re intended for.
Another reason you may need to find the model number on your Dyson is if you’re planning on upgrading or replacing your Dyson vacuum.
If you want an upgrade, having the model number is useful information so that you know the specs of your machine. Doing so lets you plan what sort of improvements you want in your next purchase, whether you’re buying another Dyson vacuum or comparing Dyson products with competitors’ vacuums.
Similarly, if you’re happy with the performance of your Dyson, you might want to replace your worn out one with exactly the same machine. Finding the model is the best way to do that.

How To Find Dyson Model Number?
Finding the Dyson model number on your vacuum can be a bit of a nuisance since the location varies depending on the model, and, of course, you don’t know what model you have—that’s why you’re looking for it.
Checking some parts of your vacuum will usually yield the model number in the form of a white sticker.
The sticker will usually contain both the serial number and the model number. The serial number can be a lengthy string of numbers, while the model number is usually a pairing of two letters and two numbers which, when you search the word “Dyson” with your discovered model number, should yield the model you have.
Generally, you can find the sticker with the model number on the battery, which is grey and usually located in a compartment on the handle.
Turn the battery over when you find it, and you should see a sticker on the bottom with the serial number and model listed. If that doesn’t work, you can try looking in the following locations:
- Behind the suction hose
- Behind the dust canister
If neither of these locations has a sticker, then you might need to put your vacuum carefully on its side and check the bottom near the wheels.
In some of their more traditional vacuums, the sticker will be located near the base of the vacuum by the wheels. (1)
Where To Find Dyson Serial Number?
To find out what model Dyson you have, the easiest method is to locate the label. Start by opening the battery pack compartment, usually located on the handle. If you have a newer model, then you may need to use a screwdriver to open this compartment.
Once you’ve got it open, you should be able to remove the battery and see the label on the back. The name and model of your Dyson vacuum cleaner should be listed right there on the battery.
On the label, you’ll see the word “Dyson” with a model number to the top right of it and a serial number listed below the bar code.
The model numbers are usually listed as two letters followed by two numbers, such as the SV22 or the DC62, but the number isn’t always listed on the battery sticker, in which case, you’ll need to make do with the serial number. (2)

Check The User’s Manual
If you can’t find your model number anywhere on your vacuum after checking everywhere, then it’s worth consulting the user’s manual that came with your purchase.
The manual should list the model number you have, or, if you need the serial number, it will list it as well.
Look Online Store From Where You Bought Your Vacuum
If you purchased your Dyson vacuum through an online vendor, then there’s probably a virtual paper trail you can use to find out what model number you have.
For example, if you bought your Dyson vacuum cleaners on Amazon, then you can pretty easily find the model number and type you purchased from your purchase history.
To find that, follow these simple steps:
- Visit the Your Account page on Amazon’s official website.
- Sign into the account on which you bought the items.
- Click the Your Orders button to see your order history.
Once on the Your Orders page, you should readily be able to see what type of Dyson vacuum you ordered and the details associated with it so that you can compare products or find a suitable replacement part where necessary.
This information may also be able to help to assess when you bought the vacuum since, if you need to replace a part, it’s always worth checking if the product is still under warranty. Dyson’s warranties vary per product, but usually last 5-10 years. (Check more information on Dyson lifespan)
Final Thoughts
Finding the model number on your Dyson vacuum cleaner can be a hassle, but thankfully, you can usually locate it right on the battery in the handle compartment.
If not, there are several places around the vacuum you should check, such as behind the dust container, by the wheels, or behind the handle.
In any case, finding your model number is a great way to make sure you’re getting the right replacement part or review the specs of your vacuum when comparing products.
