Does anyone else out there have problems with the belts that keep breaking?

No, the only issues I have had with it are little pebbles making crunching noises when I try to suck it up, and on occasion suction issues.

I had a Hoover Pet that does the same thing. Try searching the vacuum with the term "belt breaks".

No, I haven't had an issue with the belt. The wheels seem to fall off during vacuuming though. That's my only issue at the moment.

No i have not had any problem with my belts breaking yet.I keep my lint and dirt empty and blow out my filter and its doing very well.

Yep, we used 3 in about a week, and in the end realized the part with the brush that the belt wraps around was melted...and would not hold a belt on anymore. We had to get a new vacuum after having this one for just a few months.

The belt on this unit does break easily if it gets stuck with drapes or clothes. I had to replace the belt three times in two years due to these situations. If you are careful when you vacuum by avoiding clothes getting sucked in, the belt will last. Overall, this is the most powerful vacuum I've ever used and highly recommend it.

I haven't had that issue, they're constructed from aluminum & shouldn't break! did you try adjusting them out for a more comfortable fit? but yes, if they're too tight they will leave an impression. Then I did have an issue with one of the cords shorting out on me & Amazon had no problem replacing not only the cord, but the entire order!!!

Probably just need to replace the belt. Should be a cheap part and an easy replacement - it's essentially a large rubber band underneath the platter. May have gotten stretched due to heat or some other factor.

Either the "belt" is too tight or too loose. That's been my experience (if you're talking about the breath lengths not getting longer as you go). If you're talking about the sound, I have not had that problem

I have had mine for over a year and the only issue i have had is a light fray at the front of the belt. No velcro issues.

I recommend you contact the seller. I've never used the belt so I hesitate to guess.

Bummer. Same issue here. Used daily for 1/2 hour and slipping started after a year or so, and is getting worse over time, now approaching 2 years. I guess time to start looking for a replacement bike. Tightened the belt as well - did not help, may be the expensive axel or flywheel components that need replacement.

I've owned my for about 4 months and use it daily. The belt has not slipped once.

I've had my belt for several months now and I haven't had any problem with the handles coming off.

I only bought this recently but I have had no problem with the belt. It stays perfectly in place.

The outer belt is replaceable, but the inner (trapped) belt isn't. I'm a fairly 'mechanical' person, but I still watched the online videos and tried to analyze where Murphy's Law would be operative. Certainly the stretching of the two belts to get them properly placed is a potential trouble spot. If a belt is damaged in any way (nicked, over-stretched) it would be sure to lead to premature failure. Or something causing undue load on the belt, such as bad brush bearings of a 'wrap' of carpet yarn could also be a problem. So, in my amateur analysis, I'd say that (1) the belt had a defect, or (2) was damaged or stressed, causing the failure. As to warranty... hope you saved the receipt! But if you are certain that you installed the clutch properly and carefully, then the belt may have been defective. Good luck!! (rel)

The simplest would be to replace the buckle. Remove the old buckle by carefully cutting the threads. If you have a buckle from a previous bag, then sew it back on web belt. I am really disappointed with this bag's performance - from the way oversize belt (which by the way won't stay in a fixed length), to the belt stays slipping and the buckle releasing from just a little bit of pressure allowing the entire assembly to unexpectedly fall from my waist. Sorry I could not have been of greater assist on the repair. Hope for the best.

It not that bad, anthough I did need to renforce the belt loop. Otherwise I've been using it for the last several month with no issues.

I have not had any problems. Just put the belt in one pulley and force the new belt into the top pulley by turning it

I have purchased 2 different Cuisinart food processors over the years. The motor has been fantastic--never a problem. However, the "plastic" parts always break at their weakest point on both of my machines. That means I can still use them, but I have to hold the lid in place while it operates. I have bought replacement parts off of ebay and had the same issue with the replacement parts. It is a design flaw, in my opinion, and although the machines have changed a bit over the years Cuisinart has never truly addressed this to remedy it.

I have never had this problem and I have whacked the balls against one another as well as myself countless times LOL. I've had mine for quite some time now, use them regularly, and have had no problems whatsoever. I would try to contact the seller if I were having those issues.
