Anybody that has one of these things knows that the first thing that goes is the belt.

Has anyone found a decent replacement belt that works? Maybe a vacuum cleaner belt or something like that? I tried a couple of thick rubber bands but they broke too. I superglued the original belt and it seems to be holding, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time before it breaks again. Thanks.

I agree.Wide rubber bands work even better than the belts.

Do you think the diameter is big enough?

No, we are both just putting you on.

It works, do it.

Elsewhere, someone said a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner belt works if you pre-stretch it a little bit, by hand.
