I bought this about 10 months ago and the belt went bad for whatever reason, BUT I reached out to Hoover and told them the situation and instead of sending me a new belt, they sent me an entire new unit. It works like a charm. It's definitely good for like a one or two bedroom apartment because the tank is small, but it works so good! My dog decided she wanted to chew up a black sharpie and it got all over the carpets and it came right up and there's no stain. I love it!
