5 Must-Have Sanitaire Vacuum Belts for Efficiency

Keeping a Sanitaire running well comes down to five belts. The Type U Flat Belt covers the SC5713 and similar models. The SC6600 Geared Belt is the one for heavy-duty use. There are the Poly V Belts for specific models, the budget-friendly Replacement Round Drive Belt, and the 30563B Premium Round Drive Belt when you want durability. Here's each one.

Sanitaire SC5713 / SC5815 / Type U Flat Belt

The Type U Flat Belt keeps your Sanitaire pulling proper suction.

It's made for the SC5713, SC5815, SC5845, SC5745, and SP5816. Change it every 6 to 12 months and you'll avoid the drop in suction that comes with a worn belt.

Ordering is straightforward, with different pack sizes so you can stock up. And if you've got questions, customer support is at 1-800-322-2965.

Sanitaire Replacement Round Drive Belt

If you're watching the budget, the Replacement Round Drive Belt keeps your vacuum going without costing much. It's standard quality, aimed at people who want to maintain their machine cheaply. What to know:

• Compatibility. Fits all Sanitaire upright vacuums, including the 1934 and 1950.

Ordering is simple, with packs of up to 24. And it's worth checking the related maintenance items while you're there.
