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.

that using the Koblenz belts on the Sanitaire would extend the belt life and the performance. |

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 |
