Inside the plastic barrel, so much dust collects in the "honeycomb" aread and all over. I've hand cleaned as much as I could, but I'd really like a better way to clean it. I rinsed it once with water, but that left a dirty, musty smell. Any suggestions? Maybe the part (w/ honeycomb) inside the barrel comes off and I haven't figured out how? I've tried the Dyson website - it was no help.

You remove the black washer/gasket and slide out the thing that looks like a space ship from star wars and get a can of air (staples) or get someone wiht an air compressor to blast it.
It tooke me a bit to figure out and you do have to pull somewhat hard to get it the first time.

You have to take it apart. I have a similiar problem with my Bissell Healthy Home Vacuum. Though they are not the same vacuums, they are similar in the multi-cyclonic technology and therefore tend to suck dust, hairs and other debris above the honeycomb part and refuses to come out when you empty the canister. My husband and I own a housecleaning company and we clean ours on a weekly basis. It is a pain in the butt, but truthfully, it is the only way to get rid of it. A 800 number won't help you with that one.

I use a feather duster inside mine, but I like the idea of blowing it out too.

I have a small electric leaf blower. Take it outside and blow the heck out of it. All the yuck will come out.
