Kirby Vacuums are durable machines with powerful cleaning capabilities. Few vacuums can compete with the variety of features on the machine, a fact that the Kirby salesman at your house did not fail to tell you at least 10 times.

What the Kirby salesman might have left out of his sales pitch, however, was an explanation of how difficult it would be for you to do your first belt repair on your new Kirby Generation. Even the most experienced repairmen on the GoVacuum team will admit that replacing the belt on the Kirby is one of the most difficult repairs they face.

As a result, we’ve decided to create a video showing you how to make this Kirby Generation vacuum belt repair yourself.

We go step-by-step through the process of dismantling the powerhead and swapping out the belts on the rollerbrush. And we even give helpful advice on how to properly maintain your Kirby machine along the way.
