1.0 out of 5 stars inferior outsourced replacement, February 5, 2010

As another reviewer mentions, this replacement does not fit well on the self propelled Hoover upright. It is missing the seal around the edge and allows air to pass around the filter making it nearly useless. Even though this is labeled as a Hoover product I learned from a vacuum supply store (where I should have gone first) that these are now made by Eureka and not Hoover. Instead of the hassle of returning and reordering, I found a large red rubber band and stretched it around the edge of the filter which helps to seal it a bit better. Another reviewer mentions having to use weather-stripping! So be warned, it is not the exact same match, it is an inferior replacement and should not be offered here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a tight fit, March 5, 2011

This filter is much better than the foam type, but not as good as the original. The plastic frame does not fit tightly against the vacuum, and the air smells dusty every time I turn it on. A filter made by HONEYWELL #H13002 is great! I found it at Menard's, made by Home Care Filter Products Inc.

You'll notice reviews for this product are all over the road. It really matters WHO you buy from. It is difficult to say if this is a true HEPA and warrants the price difference over the 40110001 product, there is zero identifying marks, and it doesn't come in a labeled package. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. If you MUST have HEPA I'd recommend buying it elsewhere, but you'll pay at least $20. If you don't care then buy the 40110001 for $5-6. Otherwise split the difference like I did. I bought from Vacuum Supply Store. They were quick to deliver, answered concerns about whether or not this was a HEPA (they said it was), and most important, it worked. It was a quality built, fully framed filter that fit and sealed tight.
