Dirt Devil 103 Hand Vac Belts

[huskyvacs]

Does anyone with a user manual or service manual for the Dirt Devil 103 Hand Vac know the part number for the OEM belts?

Just picked this up from Goodwill for $5.99 and the belt is weak (brushroll stops on contact with carpet).

Nice

I just added a link. It's cheaper than amazon. I think evacuum.com is where I bought mine. I also bought bags. The bags are worthless. In case you were wondering.

Thank you both!

Also yes this vacuum does have the paper bag conversion kit in it. They are so tiny like a lunch bag. I've never used one with paper bags before, I'll try it out but I suspect it will clog up fast.

Somehow the owner of this one got the paper sheet from a stamp roll sucked into the fan housing and because its somewhat plastic, it got all twisted up and wrapped around the spindle.

I will check my local ACE for the belts first, if not I will order online. My local ACE has vacuum bags and belts going back to the Broom Vac for whatever reason, they have a lot of unsold vintage stock that's sat in the store room for decades. They had a 2006 Hoover Tempo in there new in box last time I was in there but I didn't have over $100 for it.

Mine does fine with the disposable bags. It's a great little vacuum for stairs. They're really easy to find too.

 

[huskyvacs]

Yup the one I always had for stairs - the belt died and at the time I didn't know how (I was a teenager) or couldn't find the right belts so I just kept getting others and using them until the belt broke.

Yes

They work great on stairs. I must have gotten the paper bag version hence paper tears. I put a compact bag on it use elastic underneath the bag pull the bag over. That's what i do since I have quite a few handvacs.
