Durabelt Hoover Type 160 Belt Pkg

Easy to put on & made really good.

They break easy bad quality

it works

This replaced the broken belt and had identical markings. Installed easily and came with a replacement for a few years from now (now to not lose it!) Ran the vacuum cleaner and the beater bar ran like expected. Lower cost than several options presented for sale.

The belt fit our Hoover vacuum perfectly. The replacement is relatively easy, though the nature of Hoover's design makes stretching the belt, to get it in place, somewhat challenging.

The first one I put on our vac started smoking as it rubbed against a piece of plastic sanding it down to nothing before the belt broke. I can see how it is supposed to rub across that part, but not sure why it did not slide across it like it was supposed to and instead sanded it down. The second belt is working fine. I installed them both the same way. The only thing I can think is that the first belt had different tension or was made out of a slightly different material, but honestly, neither of those ideas make much sense. But it's working now...

It is a good product. I make a mistake and bought this wrong for my vacuum. This belt doesn't work for Hoover UH71215, be aware of that. I gave this to someone that needed and looks like it works.

Pros: -Cons: Not compatible with Hoover WindTunnel 3, belts burned apart.The description seemed to be a bit misleading, it does not work well with ALL WindTunnel models. The WindTunnel 3 is also not a self-propelled model. The first belt in the pack broke, burned off with use and left char/broke the alignment cuff in the vacuum. I fixed the alignment cuff using electrical tape and I noticed that I can't seem to use the foot pedal to stop the roller anymore and really not sure how to repair that as of yet. I stretched out the second one and fitted it, occasionally there is the smell of burning rubber with use, but I stretch it out every time I clean the roller. I would recommend buying Hoover's suggested replacement belts if you should need to replace the WindTunnel 3 belt.

Good
