Thanks ibaisaic, spent way too long trying to install the belt 'through' the tension roller. Your video helped me immensely!
Helped with a newer model. A lot of useful tips. Thank you so much for taking the time!
Thank you sir I have the exact same model and I greatly appreciate your excellent video. There was no need for exploratory surgery here, so the rug scrubber and my wife thanks you for that. Keep up the great work sir
Your video was very helpful. Saved me a lot of time. Thank you very much!
THANK YOU THIS WAS SOOOO HELPFUL!!!
Thank you for that video! I unscrewed everything in the bottom of the cleaner to clean it properly and forgot how to fix this together xD I have a different model but thanks to you I have managed to put the belt in the right position ;) Cheers!

Thank you for the video. Very helpful 😊
Thanks for the tip. This will help fix the Hoover FH51000.
Brilliant thanks. Changed my belt today. I love how your video was easy to follow and you didn’t rush it and I kept at the same speed as you!
Thanks for the reply, yes it is, only had it 2 weeks!

lynn scarry Definitely get in touch with Vax or the retailer you purchased it from as it shouldn't fail within two weeks. I would ask for a replacement machine personally. I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction.
Brilliant it better when some one shows how to do it put the belt on it looks easy to do thank you for showing us.
Very useful small extra tips.
Great you helped me fixed my back, but the video could be half the time. Thanks
Thank you so much, you would think vax would make it easier to clean. Your video was a big help Lee

Glad you found it useful.
Putting the rear plate (or single full length plate on some models) back on is a lot, lot easier if you have the head in the 90 degree locked position. The pivote of the head unit gets in the way when it's down as shown in the video.
Good job!
I have replaced mine 7 times in the past & it was done the proper way after watching Your video. Thank You by the way for the visual info. but My belt will last for a full washing most of the time but it pops into every single time. So I have come to the conclusion that I have to keep a big stock of belts in order to keep using my hoover dual power. Thanks again & I hope Your belt lasts better than all of mine have. I order mine through hoover , so its not generic belt, maybe I should order the cheaper belts i guess.

+Kimberly Paymaster The belt should be lasting longer than that. Have you contacted Hoover because it sounds like yours is faulty.

Same on my Vax dual power reach
I got it all put back together and could not figure out why my brushes wouldn't spin. I had the handle upright! Wow!!!! Lol
Do you have to by the belts on ebay
@ibaisaic I've got the pet version of that machine and I just want to ask if water mists out the exhaust vent on the back of your cleaner. I sat the cleaner on a hardwood floor to clean a rug with the hose and noticed a small puddle of water where the exhaust vents are. Just want to know if this is normal.
What numbers do the smaller screws go in
How do you access the belt spindle out as there is a pin holding it
What is the piece called that sits on the belt as it's melted one side and keeps wasting the belts on the dual power pro model only used twice and the warranty out date now
How do u get brush rolls un froze..

Does the end that puts tension on belt spin. As mine does not spin
What belt do i have to get it doesn't say
ok ty
Do you have a video on how to replace the power cord. We had a lil puppy visiting for a couple days and he chewed the power cord in pieces!

No sorry, I got rid of this machine ages ago.
Hi, how do you remove the front part that sucks up the water? I’ve got a build up of grim and I don’t know how to clean it?
Even though the original model has a known fault and eats belts, you wont get the updated part free. Vax wrote to me: "If your machine is within the warranty period we may be able to send the part free of charge or replace the machine. If not you can get the part number and price details by following the link below or we can offer you a discount on a purchase of new machine"
My vax seems to not stand as upright is slants when in upright position can I fix this ??
What is the belt size I have a hard time reading so please make it easy
any idea on how to fix the handle release please, it fell backwards and now the handle just falls down all the time, thanks.

lynn scarry No sorry I don't and as I don't have this machine any more, I can't check for you. If it is still under guarantee I suggest you contact Vax to see if they can help.

Hope you are still around. I have a problem with my w86-dd-b dual power cleaner Vax say the belt is not changeable, well it is very similar to yours but the screws you undid release the top cover then you can change the belt BUT they don't supply them, what model is yours as the belt looks a similar size and I might try one.. BTW was your original he same mode; as mine orange and grey coloured with orange brushes. cheers Dave

I think you'll find the correct phrase is I talk too much. Look up the difference between to and too before you decide to comment in future. Many thanks for your useful feedback, I will bear that in mind for my next video. Perhaps I will mime the next one or use sign language. Have a happy new year Mo and I'll look forward to seeing your videos in the new year. God bless.
This machine is shite, my advice is get a different washer, I have the new part and have to change the belt every time I use it that’s £4 every time I use the machine and not to mention the time to change it every time! This is a bad fault and they should not be sold due to this! I am having to use it as can’t afford a replacement right now but believe me I have replaced the Belt 12 times and have fitted another today! I have 3 more left and it’s going to the tip! This thing is a total pile of shit!
Vax items are shit, I have had three machine sent to me, all broke after year or so.
We're no interested about spindal just get on with it ffs

Scot ....just because you have the brain capacity of an amoeba and an anus for a mouth doesn't mean others aren't interested you ignorant txxt.
Do not buy this machine ibecause it's a piece of crap Changing belts on a "" housewife "" machine should not be this hard nor should it require any special tools
