Vacuum cleaner belts - is there a cheap MSE alternative?

Maz · 12 March 2011 at 5:10PM

The belt on my Zanussi hoover has snapped and can I get a replacement part from the shop I bought it in? No! :mad:

Had a quick google for the part and looks like they're about £3 a pop.

Is there a diy/MSE alternative to shelling out for what is basically a large rubber band?

the old fan belt trick.

£3? And you want it cheaper than that? Struth

No!!! It's not the cost really. Just want a possible way to tide me over for the mo so that I can finish my housewifely chores!

Hi,

maybe a cable tie would work for a wee while.

£3 is about as cheap as you are gioing to get.

lot of cheap crappy vacs made these days that do nothing but snap belts ..because of their poor design .

all the best.markj
