Hi all,

As I'm making slow progress with getting my Whispertone upright cleaned up, I realized I still need to buy a belt/belts for it.
The factory part number is 20-5275.
Granted, I've only just started searching. But, so far, I haven't found anyone selling the genuine Kenmore belts.
I see several generic replacements, but reviews are all over the place.
I'm just wondering if anyone has real world experience with this belt, and can recommend a good quality replacement. Or, if it's better to buy the genuine Kenmore, perhaps you can direct me where I can find them.
Thank you!
 
Thanks, Alex!
Is that UB, with no number after it?
If so, that's the same belt that my Panasonic MC-5116 was supposed to use, and I bought a two-pack. They're actually UB-8, but the package says "Replaces Type UB".
I couldn't stretch it far enough to make it fit the Panasonic.
If it's the same belt, maybe I can see if I have better luck getting it onto the Kenmore.
