there is no place to buy a replacement belt for this machine .Tried every hardware store including Lowes and Home Depot. Had to buy off the website and the shipping was almost as much as the belt! $17 !!!! for a BELT!!!!????? Ordered the belt on 08/01 and it still has not been shipped and they already have their money. tried to call customer service, but they close at 5 also a JOKE , as most of us work until 5!!!
