There are big differences between this replacement vacuum cleaner belt and the original Royal manufactured..1. CONSTRUCTION: The OEM is like a miniature automotive belt that drives the car's AC unit. It is stiff with almost no flex. The belt is 2mm with 0.5mm knurling on the inside. These are little pebbles cut into the belt to create a rough surface. These unable the smooth metal shaft, that is attached to the electrical motor, to grab the belt and rotate the vacuum cleaner's carpet brush. Through time, the knurling will wear away, and the belt stops moving. As a result, the rotating shaft burns through the rubber..The WFCYQ is like an oversized rubber band and is 1" shorter by circumference. It is 2mm thick and stretches to fit. The rubber is also sticky. The product does not have knurling. This is a big problem. Without a rough surface, the band is not able to grab and rotate the brush bar..2. PRICE: The replacement belt costs $1.71, while the Royal original is $4.48. Do the math, the WFCYQ is 38.17% the price of the OEM..3. PERFORMANCE: I do not notice anything different. The vacuum cleaner's rotating brush operates without any problems..Only time will decide if this product has better value. The Royal product has a 3-year average usage life..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.UPDATE: The band began to become loose. It's ability to rotate the brush bar became less. Eventually, the metal motor rod began to burn the rubber, as it struggles to move the brush bar. You can smell the odor by the third vacuuming. By the tenth, the band lost its ability to function..A three month life span with ten vacuuming is not acceptable. The projected two years of service by the eight bands is less than the three years with the original $3 Royal belt. Comparing the two, the Chinese alternative is expensive and useless - a typical Chinese scam to be avoided. As a service to its customers, Amazon should ban this product.
