We made a terrible mistake buying this vacuum! It has been nothing but trouble since we bought it! Literally every single time we use it, the belt either slips off or breaks. We've had to replace the belt at least dozen times in less than a year from purchasing it. Poor manufacturing from Euteka. I've read many other reviews of others having this same problem. 10 out of 10 I would NOT recommend this product, unless you want to waste your time and money constantly trying to fix it.
