To The Person Who Had The Final Say So Over Windows Live Movie Maker

Clod, did Dyson solve the problem of the belt on the rotating brush? Every vacuum I've ever had, the brush gets tangled, stops moving, and then the belt burns out.

Well... we have two females with long hair in this house. So it's a given that every 2-3 months, I will have to get down underneath and cut great chunks of spun-up hair out of the brush with the big garden shears. But I always had to do that with the old vacuum too. There is indeed a rubber belt that turns the carpet brush, but I've never had a problem with the brush stopping as long as I periodically cut the hair off.

I think it's to do with it being an upright.

So there's that big long stick part stored inside of the flexible hose part, right? Pull that straight up until it gets to the end, and clicks. Now, press the small button at the end of the flexible hose to release the stick completely from it. Rotate the stick part around and put the other end back inside the flexible hose so that it clicks into place again (you will have to slide back the little hole cover at the handle end of the stick part to do this.) Now you should have the long hose, followed by the curvy handle bit, with 3 feet of long stick out in front of you for reaching the corners or whatever you're trying to clean. You can put the attachments on the tip, or just use it open-ended.

It sounds ridiculous, but once you've seen it done it's not hard.
