You can replace the belt, but when ours went kaput, we decided the vacuum we had was so cruddy that we needed a new one. They are not cheap. We got the one recommended by Consumer Reports, but now for the life of me, I can't remember what it is. It is beltless, though, hopefully avoiding the whole friction/hair/belt burning incident in the future. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24778307.post-77245840289031912512007-04-02T06:22:00.000-07:002007-04-02T06:22:00.000-07:00Becci, You may just need a new belt or else check ...Becci, <BR/>You may just need a new belt or else check to make sure something isn't wrapped around the brush bar on the vacuum. I have had that happen to me and it is as simple as changing the belt, which should only cost you a couple dollars and most brands you can get the belts at Walmart. Or have to take the brush bar out and peel the hair and string off of the bar as well as where it attaches to the gears of the machine itself. Can't hurt to try that first, it is alot cheaper. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24778307.post-53426439711014671772007-03-31T12:39:00.000-07:002007-03-31T12:39:00.000-07:00We just bought a Dirt Devil Reaction and we love i...We just bought a Dirt Devil Reaction and we love it.
