Dyson DC17 Animal

My Dyson DC17 Animal vacuum great for the first six months or so. Now I have a problem with hair and dirt getting under the belt and wrapped around the gear that the belt goes around. This causes the belt to stretch and it begins to make a terrible noise.
I have sent it in twice and each time they have changed the belt and one time they changed the belt and the roller bar, which I had already done. I can use it for about 10 minutes before the belt has a bunch of dirt under it and the gear has a bunch of hair wrapped around it.
Anyone who has had to change the belt knows this isn't the easiest of operations and to get the hair out that is wrapped around the gear is a chore.
It still picks up well but to have to stop every 10 minutes and take it apart and clean it and usually change the belt is terrible. Would never recommend it again.
