Query: Worked great at first, then belt kept breaking

I buy a vacuum every 8 years, so I need something that is very powerful and will never break down. This one is quieter than all the others I've had. All the functions work. It was easy to assemble and insert the bag. It's still a little tricky pressing down on the pedal to release the handle, but I'm getting the hang of it. I would buy another one in 8 years if they still sell them. It seems to me that this technology is perfect for my house - mostly hardwood floors with some mats, carpets, and one wall-to-wall carpet. The vacuum does a great job on all of them.UPDATE: December 2010 - After about a year, the vacuum ceased to pick things up and it demanded a new belt every three months. After over a year of arguing with the vacuum over whether it would turn the brush or not and spending a lot of money on belts, we finally trashed it and bought a Hoover.
