Yes Carmine, i have replaced just the belts[taken the clutch apart] very tedious and can be screwed up very easily, the belts are nothing special cost less than 6 bucks a set.
Another note of interest is that the rpm's created at the brush are not the industry standard, more than likely done on purpose to try and save the rotating mass............

Thanks MOLE.
So much for the veracity of the claim: Lifetime belt that never needs replacing. Pity the maker who faces off with the FTC when this claim complaint hits its docket. Worse, heaven forbid if a few out of work lawyers are dyson owners and users and they get hit with a $100 repair bill for a belt replacement. Do I hear class action law suit? [Core dyson features: No extra costs after purchase!] How many DC07/DC14-s sold in the US since April 2002?
The slow turning brush bar also allows the clutch to engage easier and shut off the brush bar. DC07/DC14 is the stupidest brush roll design and function in the vacuum industry for all time IMHO.
I agree with VF and his punishment for Mr. Dyson. 300 hours of community service vacuuming with a DIRT DEVIL.
