First of all I would like to say thank you to the seller. They saved me a lot of money, my wife is a gadget freak and when she noticed that an old trusted friend wasn't working the way it used to, she immediately started looking for a new vacuum cleaner, or rather a Dyson one. ball to scream. Ha, I said darling that the belt broke, she looked confused. BELT? Like many other women and men, they think the vacuum is broken, prompting them to buy another expensive gadget. I don't, although I've had this vacuum for 18 years, it has a suction power of 17 amps! As long as that engine starts she stays, and for the record the vacuum was on me before my wife lol. Now for the review. Finding these belts is harder than ever. What was once easy to find is now hard to find and seems to be fading. Stores carry belts but this isn't that model anymore, I was upset. I've tried several major department stores with no luck, hardware stores with no luck, Menards Home Depot with no luck. I was about to fail and buy a product that I know is an advertisement and costs four times the price of my beloved HOOVER. But this seller saved the day, not only did he have the straps but the price was fantastic. I ordered six belts, they arrived quickly and after two months the belts are working perfectly. Thank you, the shock on my wife's face is priceless, see I never told her I found the straps. When she came home from the store one day and saw a beautifully fluffy rug with beautiful vacuum lines, she just knew Dyson had arrived. She opened the cupboard and saw that it was the work of the old faithful, our stalwart 18 year old champions of the HOOVER TYPE "A" STAND UP VACUUM.
