It's hard to say too much when reviewing vacuum cleaner belts, so it'll be brief. These belts are original manufacturer belts for Oreck and it's nice to get them online as we are no longer near an Oreck store. We love our Oreck vacuum and although the cords seem to last a long time they stretch and the vacuum works better if the cords are changed at least every six months. At this price, a six-month replacement is pretty cheap. maintenance items. The belts came in new, unopened packaging and looked fresh. The rubber appeared clean with no cracks from heat, age or dryness. I immediately installed one to replace a year old belt and immediately noticed the difference. These are high quality belts at a decent price!
