Title: belt slips and burns out
Product review: I bought this as a floor demo via eBay in 2002. The beater bar would bog down on carpet. I put duct tape on the bar to increase tension. That helped for a while. The vacuum shop installed a new base (at my expense) which didn't help. Now the belt is continually burning out. Apparently Consumer Reports has never tested the "bad version" that slips and burns belts. It's a pretty good vacuum otherwise.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
