A tip for those of you with long haired dogs such as a golden retriever. Hair can get into the belt assembly and will eventually stop the brush from rotating (4 months in my case). The first indication of this happening will be the burning rubber smell as the belt starts to slip. Fix this right away while friction of the belt on the spindle is still low and the belt will last a lot longer. The fix will take only 5 minutes once you find the right screwdriver. NOTE: newer models may have 7 screws - the six mentioned above plus one on the belt roller assembly that I assume is an improvement to keep the roller and the belt properly aligned. I was amazed at how much hair was lodged in there and have now marked my calendar to check this every 3 months. I'm sure glad I bought a vacuum that is able to handle the amount of hair my dog sheds.

Yes, I'm so glad someone finally mentioned that. Mine was so difficult, I finally took it to a local vacuum repair shop. The space to work in to get that belt on was awful. I pray I never have to replace another belt. My old vacuum you could take off the side, slip the belt on the impeller and then replace everything. This is really a problem for people who don't have a. lot of strength.

I knew my belt was broken and I'm not your average woman, I like diagnosing and fixing stuff myself first if possible and I do 90 percent of the time. Once I got the old belt off, got the new one on and almost instantly same problem so figured something was stressing the belt really bad and one assumption about the brush roller led me to another guys video which confirmed my suspicion about the ball bearing in the roller caps and this video went even further showing how easy it should spin... gotta order new brush roller MINE WONT SPIN AT ALL...

Most likely the bearings in the roller brush itself is breaking down and making the belt try harder to turn it. It's why in the video they say to spin the roller brush to make sure it spins freely, if it doesn't the bearings have worn out and the roller, not the belt, needs replacing. Hope that helps someone.

These vacuumes are shit. I've replaced 4 belts that they didn't even manufacture anymore so I had to track them down through mom and pop stores that sold old hardware and there's a metal clip near the belt that is supposed to keep the belt from sliding to the right which they Don't tell you and it pops off occasionally. The brush stops spinning after awhile as well which leads to the belts overheating to and breaking.

I've had my vacuum for a month and already broke a belt. There is a major design flaw in my opinion. After vacuuming even a small amount, dog fur wrapped itself around the belt. Seems to me the belt should be sealed off by itself so it's not to accumulate debris. At this point it looks like I'm going to have to take it apart after each use. Wish I never would have bought this thing it's a piece of junk.
