We have a Hoover wind tunnel that is 2.5 years old. We don't have pets or small children but we vacuum often because we are retired at home all day. Our vacuum cleaner wasn't working well so we decided to replace the belt. It was so cheap how could I be wrong? It arrived the same week we ordered it via US Post. Yes, the belt is tight, but it's nothing as terrible as some write in the reviews. The belt must be tight. First I put the belt on the motor pin, then on the agitator (sweeper part) and slipped into the bracket. We are pleased. It's like a new vacuum. I also took the time to scour the bottoms of debris and install a new bag and filter. I thought I would have to buy a new vacuum cleaner but all I needed was a new belt. Great product, great price. We ordered 2 just in case we need to replace it again. I will definitely buy more if the need arises.
