    I am a senior citizen that never put any belt on any vacuum. I DID IT. Thanks, you are a Great instructor.

    I've tried reading instructions on most things, these days I have been able to cross-reference a few videos to gather my results of interest. More times than my it a listed video, whether it be a back yard mechanic/gardener etc. or a white collar cooperate smug fink. As I
    mentioned 3-5 videos or reads to gather my results. This usually takes half an hour, even an hour. My interest was lost with all the unnecessary information/jargon in each source of media.
    This is a question that I've had for about 2 weeks. I had a minute so i figured that I would see if I could start my research on what it all takes to attached this belt. Figuring that id finally complete it around the end of next week. If I could find the piece of information retained by my information source.
    Your instructional video was outstanding. Very complete. Certainly the very first video that Ive been able to watch, even pause to follow your thoroughly explained instructional. Well done young man, there was no wasted wording, very articulate, and perfected guidance.

So this is my recommendation for changing your Kirby vacumn belt! Well done and saved this 62 yr old woman $45 to have someone else do it. Sincerely, Cindy Colwell

    I have a poor memory so I was on my Kirby app reviewing the proper way to put a new belt on my vacuum. My toddler grabbed my phone in the middle of the video that I had paused and this one started playing so I just let it go since it was about the thing I needed to see anyway. I have owned a Kirby Vacuum since 1999. My latest is the Avalir and I’ve had it about 3 years now. I do not ever remember learning about the numbers on the brush ends!! I could’ve learned it at some point and forgot but my mind was blown when I learned about it on this video. So thank you for being so “elementary” about this video. I needed it!

My husband usually does this stuff and I needed to get this house vacuumed while he was at work and could not for the life of me. Figure out what to do with this thing. I had a belt I had a dead vacuum. I had no clue what to do. Thank you so very much for your video because you made it so easy and you explained it so well and my house is now vacuumed. I am feeling pretty accomplished here and that is because of your video. Have a wonderful wonderful day 🙏😀

    thanks for these videos, I know the sweetest old lady who was not privy to anything technical and used her Kirby brand new from day one until 18 years later and the roller never spun once because the belt was not hooked and installed properly, she was only using 10% of its suction potential from the motor intake alone and barely picking up anything but she thought it was working all along because no one ever told her or noticed. IS that funny or what? I almost became her when I got mine but these videos saved me.

    After struggling for several hours and causing black and blue marks on myself from fussing with this weighty object, I gave up and went to bed. Next day I found this video. I had my machine right beside me as I followed along. Stopping it, reversing it, had the closed captions one. It was an event of true marvel. It is so true, people, the devil is in the detail, but this man in this video is an angel of mercy for all of us who have become despondent over our beloved Kirby taking a nose dive.

    I was having an issue watching the other videos explaining the belt part Even tho i did all the steps my light was still not turning green. I knew it had to do with the belt latching improperly before I attached it back on. For whatever reason I was missing a step on that part that the other videos didn't show. This video is great i appreciate how you explain everything step by step, thank you!

  • @terrywilliams9924
    @terrywilliams9924 4 года назад

    I was having trouble adjusting to the correct height with the foot control. It was either too high, and no roller action, or too low and very little roller action (which resulted in smelling burning rubber because roller wasn't turning).
    Watching this video informed me of the height setting on the roller, which I did not know. After putting on new belt (while somewhat cumbersome, but very simple to do), and setting roller at 1, it now works like a DREAM.
    I love my Kirby, and yes, Gene Myers, one belt does fit all. My mother's Kirby of 20 + years is still going strong as well
    Excellent video, thank you.

  • @stevebutler812
    @stevebutler812 Месяц назад

    I bought an Ultimate G in 2002 or 2003, for a ridiculous amount of money… $800 I think? 21 years later… still works, and it’s been used.
    Frankly I haven’t used it for a while and the beater was sticking bcuz the belt was stretched out.
    New belt, new HEPA bags, works great. Your video helped bcuz I had no idea the beater setting 1, 2, 3 meant anything. And, been so long since I changed a belt I forgot how.
    I ordered some replacement HEPA bags, and first went to Kirby site, but they wanted about $6 per bag. Warnings about non-Kirby fake bags sent me on a search for bags, online, which range from $2 a bag on up.
    The bags I have seem “good enough” and are packaged & labeled as if Kirby authentic at $3 bag, maybe an authorized retailer? But idk. They do not seem as high quality as the last set a few years ago.
    So, definitely $2.50 a bag, would love to know more f they’re legit.

    The drive shaft of the fan belt gets very hot. There is no heat if the fanbelt is in the off position. Thought it may be due to the carper brush bearing. A new carpet brush did not resolve. Note, the wheels are in the high position with no brush contact with the floor. Is this normal?

    I must have a very ancient Kirby. My roller assembly is nothing like in your video. On mine the grill must be assembled to the roller assembly first, then adjusted with two very hard to reach adjusting screws only accessible with the roller assembly removed from the head. Then insert the roller assembly into the head and it's the grill assembly and belt tension which holds the roller assembly in place. The grill just loosely snaps onto the head, then the remainder of attaching the belt to the motor spindle and head assembly to the vacuum assembly is in principal the same as in your video, but there is no lever, its just a square logo plate that turns. And there is no decal flat available showing belt on or off. But there is a little round plastic window in the center of the logo plate where you can see if the belt is properly on the motor spindle (if its not caked with dirt and dust). Just thought I'd share this for others who have ancient or commercial Kirby's. And the "universal" dust bag does not fit my Kirby. It's supposed to fit an "F" style and a "twist" style, whatever those are. Apparently my Kirby is not either an "F" style or "twist" style. No idea what model it is.

I don't really want to go out and buy a new vacuum but this thing is a pain in the neck to use- heavy, belt breaks all the time and not necessarily better than anything else I've ever used. I imagine that everyone watching this video already has one but if not, don't buy one.

    My understanding is that the I, II, or III setting on the brush roll is to compensate for wear of the brushes. A new brush roll should be installed in the #I position. As the brushes wear down, you would change to II and III. These numbers have nothing to do with how plush the carpet is. That is what the foot adjustment is for.
