You will need these belts sooner rather than later. Easy to replace and makes it work like new again.

Despite the product description, it does not fit the Hoover. Had to go to a vacuum store where they had the correct belt.

This product worked admirably on my vacuum cleaner. The agitator was not turning, so I ordered this product. I couldn't believe the difference in size. My belt was so stretched out, it looked like a whole different size. When I installed the Hoover 40201180, everything worked perfectly. What a relief!

It came with 2 belts in one package, even though from some of the other reviews I thought I might only get one belt.

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Electronic Bagless, S3765-040

This a a great vacuum. I have dogs and have gone through two vacuum cleaners this year before purchasing this Hoover WindTunnel. I had avoided canister vacuums in the past thinking that a canister could not handle the volume of dog hair that is shedded every day by my dogs. But after burning up two previous upright bagless vacuums (one being a windtunnel and advertising being "pet friendly"), I decided to try a canister.

I choose a Hoover because I already known a carpet shampooer made by Hoover. The shampooer is big, green and one of the ugliest on the market with no extra gadgets or fancy design but it works like a champ!

The Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum lives up to the dependability and excellent quality of Hoover. Unlike the shampooer, this vacuum is stylish. It is light weight, super easy to clean and has a retractable very long length cord (no more winding the cord!).

The vacuum has three actual vacuum speeds and can go from bare floor to carpet with a simple push of a button. Having three speeds is great and something most vacuums do not have. The buttons control panel is on the handle so there is no bending over for adjustments. There are three buttons - on, speed, and off. Using just the "on" is great for bare floors and suction when using attachments. "Speed" starts up the brush head on the vacuum head and pressing it again increases the power. "Off" turns everything off - no need to turn off the "speed" separately.

The bagless container inserts and removes easily. The container's lid is on the top with a handle on the side. No more dumping just vacuumed stuff onto a just vacuum floor.

The removal and inserting of the extension bar into the vacuum head and attachments is also simple and easy. The extension bar telescopes making areas not easily reached without moving furniture or using a ladder more accessible.

And last, but not least, the vacuum head is low in height so that it easily goes under any low-to-the-floor furniture. With the telescoping extension bar, you can vacuum under a bed without have to move the vacuum or the bed. The vacuum head locks into position so that the extension bar is in an upright position (as seen in the picture) - no more tripping over the hose.

Eventhough there are less expensive vacuum, this Hoover is well worth the price. It has already out lasted the previous vacuum cleaners with no signs of wear or tear. And this vacuum makes the chore effortless in a lot less time. I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone who has to vacuum every day.

I concur with the previous reviewer about the photo and description being incorrect. It does show two belts in the photo. One would assume this is one quantity. Also the description is confusing: "Product Description - 2 replacement vacuum bags for use with the Windtunnel canister vacuum with power nozzle agitator or belt". I suppose I should have realized there was only one belt because of the price but sometimes you rely on the photo. If I realized it was only one belt per order, I still would have ordered, but this is just a subtle way to influence your purchase.

I love this vacuum and would buy it again if I need to. You will need these belts too sooner than later as one other reviewer noted as they do slip off. They will usually slip off if too much pressure is put on beater bar. Once this starts, your time is limited.
I only gave this three stars as the image shows two belts and only one arrived, and the description says "two vacuum bags". I admit I could have verified with seller, but I just had to get it done and for the price and free shipping (Amazon Prime), I wasn't going to wait for responses.

darn thing keeps turning off all the time while my housekeeper operates....I say it sucks!

Fast delivery, although s & h was MORE than the product (or I'd give it 5 stars.)
