Say goodbye to 1/2 an hour of your life... 1) Turn the vacuum cleaner over 2) Take off the housing surrounding the roller (four screws) 3) Remove roller from its setting BEFORE re-attaching belt, practice putting the roller back in its place (learn how to do this BEFORE tension of re-setting the belt) 4) remove roller, loop belt around metal drive shaft 5) stretch belt and replace roller in its housing NOTE: There is a LOT of stretching and tension in this step... A LOT. Good luck! (I vow never to buy another poorly engineered Hoover product)

Assuming you mean an upright vacuum cleaner such as a Hoover, which has a rotating floor brush/carpet beater, the rubber drive belt for that only needs to be replaced when it snaps.Not true, it largely depends on the type of belt your machine uses. Vacuum belts can be ineffective even before they snap. After a period of use they can wear and stretch. If this happens the belt will not be able to turn the brush against the resistance of the carpet and therefore will not pick up debris the way it should. As a good recommendation you should at least change your vacuum's belt yearly, some models require a changing even more frequently.
