I can't open my Dyson to empty the rubbish

The fact of the matter is all this is well and good, except for the fact i am not going to hold my tongue sideways, stand in the light of a full moon wiggling and jiggling this and jacking that to get a simple switch to open the next few hundred times i go to empty the dust bin. Back in the box and back to the dyson geniuses who can get a vacuum to suck chrome off a trailer hitch but can’t make a reliable latching mechanism on the dust bin.

This worked for me and I also have arthritis in my hands.

It worked for me once I put the pressure on the other handle as stated. Thank you so much. I have limited mobility upper body and this worked immediately.

If you have cleaned the dust container, it does not slide easily. Therefore when you push red handle, you need to push cylinder from edge so handle will not be stressed. I recommend to try it after cleaning some place and fill container with dust. Because dust make container to slide easily.
