Trebor is right. It all depends. The newer Kirby vacuums will outperform the older models because the newer models use a new stiffer brush roll which sets up more positive agitation. The one definite advance I think Kirby and Royal have over the Sanitaire is belt life. All things being equal, the round belt on a Sanitaire just won't last as long as the flat belt of a Kirby or Royal. Slippage will begin to occur sooner, thus affecting performance.

Info from another thread suggests... that using the Koblenz belts on the Sanitaire would extend the belt life and the performance. | ||

Koblenz belts on a sanitaire Hey Trebor, I own a Koblenz u-75 and find that the Eureka RD belts are LONG LASTING on it, the belt on mine is at least a good 10 moths old and has no cracks and has not stretched out or started slipping yet. Just figured I would share that. Though I do change it just to play it safe =) | ||

The koblenz belts don't last any longer than the rubber eureka ones from my experience | ||

I find Hoover Senior/Convertible belts last longer in my 'taires than the RD belts do, no exploding bearings, no discoloured pulleys, no trashed motors, they work pretty damned well and last a long time... :) | ||

Once they are stretched out the Hoover belts work great on the eurekas because their slightly wider and grip the pully better and don't slip no where near as much | ||
