Quick answer
Filters, bags, belts, brush rolls, batteries and hoses are owner replaceable on almost every household vacuum, need nothing beyond a screwdriver, and between them account for the clear majority of machines that get thrown away while fundamentally sound. Read the number off the old part and match that, not the brand.
Prices and fitment claims come from the listings. Service intervals are conventions.
| Part | What it does | Price range | Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filters | The most common cause of lost suction, and the cheapest preventive maintenance a vacuum has. | $7.99 to $79.90 | 40 |
| Bags | Collection and filtration in one, which is why bagged machines dominate allergy recommendations. | $8.09 to $39.16 | 26 |
| Brush rolls and side brushes | The agitation that does most of the work on carpet, and a gradual wear item. | $7.99 to $66.99 | 22 |
| Belts | The cheapest part on the machine, and the most commonly skipped maintenance there is. | $5.93 to $14.99 | 17 |
| Batteries | A consumable on any cordless machine, not a permanent part. | $24.99 to $79.99 | 19 |
| Hoses | A part that fails invisibly. A split hose loses the suction before it reaches the floor. | $8.99 to $43.95 | 7 |
| Mop pads | The wearing surface on any machine that mops. | $8.99 to $24.49 | 8 |
| Attachments and tools | Crevice, pet and dusting tools, for the six inches against a wall the floor head cannot reach. | $9.95 to $27.98 | 11 |

Fitment shown anywhere on this site is what the listing itself claims, not a compatibility check we have run. Read the number off your own part, or the model plate on the machine, and match that against the listing before ordering.

Common questions
Which parts can I replace myself?
Filters, bags, belts, brush rolls, batteries and hoses, on almost every household machine. All six are designed to be owner serviced and need nothing beyond a screwdriver. The ones that genuinely need a shop are motor bearings, a cracked chassis, a failed control board and anything water damaged, and those are the ones worth pricing against a replacement first.
How do I find the right part number?
Take the old part out and read the number moulded or printed on it. If there is none, the machine carries a model plate, usually under the body or behind the bin, and that number rather than the marketing name on the front is what parts listings are keyed to. Matching on brand alone is the single most common way this goes wrong.
Is it worth keeping spares in the house?
For filters and belts, yes, and the reason is availability rather than price. The moment you need a filter is often the moment you discover your model was discontinued two years ago, and a machine waiting on a part is a machine not being used. Both are cheap enough that buying ahead costs very little.
How much does keeping a vacuum running actually cost?
Less than most owners expect, and far less than replacing it. The consumable set for a year on a typical household machine is a small fraction of the machine price, and keeping to it is what stops the gradual performance loss that gets mistaken for a vacuum reaching the end of its life.
Every figure here comes from published manufacturer specifications, owner reported measurements and repair documentation, and each is labelled as either a standard or a convention. This is researched general information to help you diagnose and plan, not professional advice, and it cannot tell you what is wrong with one particular machine. Your own manual and the part number printed on your machine are the final word.
