Loved your video it's saved me a whole lotta headache ..I was surprised how u made it so simple ..I been at home trying to do way too much when all it really took was electrical tape ..thank you so much
This video was very helpful.my belt broke an needed something temporary till I was able to go out an buy a replacement.i just tried this an it really worked.i definitely recommend this trick if you need a temporary fix.thanks!
Omg thank you so much I can't believed this worked I didn't have electric tape so I used scotch tape. AND IT WORKS very well I rapped it around a small pot perfect size 😅
Ghetto Fabrication!!! Thats amazing. Tried it just now and it worked the first try. And took about as long as the video shows to put it all together! Now time to do some vacuuming!
Hey man this is genus I found a Bissel carpet shampoo and the belt in it was broken pretty much why it got thrown out anyhoo did this lil ditty and works very nicely a poor man's belt of course we know a manufactured one will be best but if you ain't got the money to spend and you have plenty of tape its the way to go oh yeah it's still working slips a bit practice makes perfect and the lady folk around hear think I am a hero to keep the vacuum running and the carpet shampoo in belts Home made gotta luv it thanks man
If the belt is only stretched and not broken you can wrap electrical tape around the brush where the belt goes to make the belt tighter. It works. I just tried it. I got the idea from this video.
p.s. please reply something, anything just so i can refind this video ( youtube sends notifications to my email,, I For sure want to do this as i cant get the correct sized belt without great hardship / effort and i need my machine a lot sooner Sorry to be a bother , huge thanks
You can also try using a needle and thread to sew together the broken old one. You just need to make sure to use a lot of stitches and then tie it off really well when you're finished. I used it temporarily when i waited for my new one to come in the mail and it worked great, but i don't know how long it would last long term.
Great idea. I have a piece of shit vacuum that actually works pretty good, but I dudnt want to go buy a new belt. I wouldn’t even know where to find one. So I’m gonna give it a shot, see if it works for me. Thanks man. Two thumbs up! Btw I noticed you had 28 dislikes. That amazes me. With the internet came yelp and such, all of a sudden everybody has become a critic. I don’t know how anyone could watch that video showing a broken vacuum belt hack that actually worked, and dislike it. To all you 28 miserable fucks, you really should learn alittle gratitude for people taking the time to make a video that helps someone like myself from having to go buy a new one. I’m actually very busy, I don’t have time to run on out to the local vacuum store and then try to find some dumb ass that works there, probably a few of you 28 assholes, and then ask where I can locate a goddamn vacuum belt. . I apologize, it’s just that shit pisses me off. Good job bro.
Husky Vacs The reason my belts keep breaking is due to a rusty component that eats through each belt. I have a carpet shampooer. Regardless of what belt I buy, it will wear away and snap. I can afford the belts but I chose to try this method to discover why my belts kept breaking overtime. I’ve already tried sanding the rust off but the metal revolving part that spins the belt is still rough. Thank you for the unsolicited advice though.

Please start your own "Ghetto Fabrication" Channel. Works great, Thanks!
Great tip thanks. I used a hair dryer to stretch the tape/belt on as well. Working well so far!

How long did it last ?
I am so desperate I am going to try this! Thanks for posting this
I'm gonna try to fix my broken belt by wrapping electrical tape around the outside of the broken belt so that the tape shouldn't heat up as much.
Omg thank you so much I can't believed this worked I didn't have electric tape so I used scotch tape. AND IT WORKS very well I rapped it around a small pot perfect size 😅

Ohh my goodness! Love it. Love you for sharing this!! Thank you thank you!!
ABSOLUTELY GENIUS IDEA!!!! THANKYOU!!!
Now thats what im talking about....smart man...thanks!!!!

You're a genius man

@@tanyamcinnis8292 did this work for your vacuum?
Nice that's what I was going to try to do. Thank you for the reassurance..MUCH LOVE
Cloth tape for wiring harnesses might hold up better. It won't melt like plastic tape and has more of a grip than smooth plastic.

thank you sir
You're the ghetto MacGyver thanks bro it worked like a champ
works perfectly.. almost
I purchased a belt today and my cats carpet broke it today. I'm highly ticked off. So trying this right now.
Thank you it worked great
How long did it last?
Mine just broke today, so going to try this ! thankyou !!
I'm gonna try this
This will not work. It will heat up and start melting.
Very GOOD IDEA 😉
Maybe add layer of duck take in-between lol I was on a cleaning row and now I have to order one
My belt had deep ridges on it? Idk if this will work for that?
thank you!!
The problem with electric tape when it gets hot gets lose maybe a different product.

this belt will end up slipping when u put it on the carpet
I'm here looking at a solution and your bissel hoover is the exact model as mine must be a common fault
I really hope this works. I keep ordering the wrong belt
I wound the tape over the old ripped belt, the belt came off, and the tape stayed on , lol.
It wouldn't work it be to thick
hahahahaaahaaaaaah
I tried the electric tape to replace my vacuum cleaner belt.Sorry but it didn't work .It broke almost imediately.
me too! melted right away. 15 sec most
try duck tape. same process as video just different tape.
Why use electrical tape when duck tape is much stronger and less likely to melt???
there is no stretch to duct tape
2.50$ at wal Mart
Mine melted maybe my vacuum to powerful for a electric tape maybe another source
5 minutes or five feet. That’s how long it is going to last
5 inches in 5 minutes is average! Dont let anyone get you down...
@@BornFromDeception 😂 good one!
Bull butter
Don't waste your time this does not work
Another WoRtHLeSs video.. Folks..
YOU ARE SO SMART THANK YOU FOR THIS! my carpet shampooer belt broke 4 times! They cost $24 a pop.
