Best brand of belt for Sanitaire Vacuum

[mylesrom]

Which brand of belt do you find lasts the longest with you sanitaire and how long on a low pile carpet does it roughly last?

 

[broomvac]

I use genuine Sanitaire commercial belts because Vibra Groomer II brush rolls can bow if you store your vac with the wrong belt and I don’t want to ruin mine. To me, genuine seemed the safest bet.

That said, I suppose you could try a “Perfect” brand belt or perhaps even a Koblenz one. I recall a member on this site saying that she was able to get a lot of miles out of a clear Koblenz belt in her Sanitaire.

I second the sanitaire brand bags. I have s&t sanitairre bag and eureka f&g bags. I'm not sure sanitairre has f&g bags I've not seen them.
I have heard koblenz belts are good. I'd stick with eureka/sanitairre belts.
Vg2 is very good and cheapest brushroll on the market.
