Title: How long do Dyson belts last?
Post by: Watcher on February 22, 2011, 09:31:16 pm

My wife and I have been buying Eureka vacuums and we usually break a belt once a year. We use it 24/7 always cleaning up cat hair. How long do Dyson belts last and how much is it to change one?

If you buy a model with a clutch, it should last many years. The clutch mechanism should prevent the belts from snapping. You can see more on the article here: The Brush Roll Won’t Turn – Dyson DC04, Dyson DC07 and Dyson DC14 (http://dysonmedic.co.uk/brush-roll-bar-wont-turn-dyson-dc04-dyson-dc07-dyson-dc14/)

If you are worried about belts snapping often, buy any model with a clutch.

Thank you for the info, I had no idea that vacuums had a clutch.  :tiphat:

Yes I Would have to agree with that a clutch may be something you could look into. But as far as eureka, well I'm sure you would be much happier with any of the amazing models that Dyson provides.
