Running your vacuum continuously for hours at a time usually causes these Eureka vacuum belts to become hot and fragile with micro fractures that wear out rapidly causing the brush roll on your vacuum to turn less until they are moving at a snail's pace. The slower the brush roll moves the less effective the vacuum is at cleaning your carpet.

The flat belts are usually the least costly of the three types mentioned here. This is because the flat Eureka vacuum belts are more often than not made of an economical cheap rubber composite that simply wears away and stretches following a month of only 10-15 hours of use.

Usually the geared vacuum belt machines cost a bit more due to the fact that they come outfitted with the geared vacuum belt. However the geared vacuum belts don't break as easily so you can use them for a great deal longer before replacement.
