Title: DANGER! Belt will burn!
Product review: Here's the thing about this vacuum that makes me so angry- the belt is hooked over the brush where it sits in a grooved position holding it there so it doesn't slide around. Wonderful, my old Kirby didn't have that, the belt was on the bare surface of the brush cylinder. Now move towards the back of the vacuum and see the place where the belt hooks onto to make it move. A metal rod. That's it, nothing on the end of it. Nothing to block it from sliding off when it gets heated up and loose. *angry face* So it slides off and burns through the plastic on the side wall and starts to smoke. HORRIBLE DESIGN BISSELL! What were you thinking?? The only solution, from what I see, is buying new belts that are tighter so they won't easily slide off. That means spending $7 to $10 every couple of months on this POS. A Dyson will be my next vacuum. The money is worth it- I'll never have to deal with this incompetence again.
