I feel duped after purchasing this product based upon the Amazon description. I was under the impression that I was buying a Hoover brand product at a great price. I was wrong. The product is some cheaper quality knock off. I guess I have learned once again that I get what I pay for.

This product was not a Hoover genuine filter as advertised. The filter is not near as sturdy as my old Hoover filter.

Sadly I didn't read all the reviews first, just looked at the rating. This company is not shipping what is advertised. They are sending out generic filters that aren't even HEPA compliant. They aren't even Hoover, there is no brand name on them, no patent numbers (they may be even using patents illegally). That said they are filters, even if they are far thinner than the brand name ones, and you can see right through them. Just don't expect them to do a great job stopping dust and mites.

These are not Hoover filters as advertised. They come in a bag with newspaper around them with no protection. Mine are bent. These are generic (who knows if they work) garbage. I will attempt to return. Amazon should remove this seller and relegate them to eBay where you can be assured to be ripped off. If you sell a generic item STATE THIS. Some people are happy with that. I am not. At least buy and resell fake filters with Hoover stamped on them. Then maybe people like me might be duped into thinking this is the real thing. Shipping took forever. Well over 2 weeks and vendor lied about shipping date. Completely unhappy and I have only had this problem with one other 3rd party vendor on Amazon. This vendor borders on fraud.

This is definitely a great product for two main reasons: it works really well, and it costs less than half what you'd pay for the Hoover brand filter in any store. It should be noted, however, that it is not a product made by the Hoover company. This means that it is slightly different in shape than the original filter that came with my machine. (In my machine, the top circle on the filter is supposed to slide into the catch on the plastic mesh screen to keep it in place, as shown in the picture above--this one's top circle is smaller than the catch, so it sits off center by about 1/2 an inch.) The difference doesn't remotely affect the filter's function; if anything, I have noticed that my machine is doing a much more effective job of cleaning than it ever did before. And, it is certainly NOT worth twice the price to buy one that is a perfect fit. I recommend buying two or more at a time to save on shipping.

the picture shown for this product does not reflect what you receive. the filter was in a plastic bag that was wrapped in newspaper then placed in a shipping plastic bag. I received the item in the mail and it was crushed. The company selling this product is fortunate that people like myself are too lazy to repackage and return the item. It's such a hassle. I'll never purchase from this company again.

I ordered and paid for a Hoover replacement filter for my vacuum and recieved a GENERIC, DAMAGED filter! Plus it took a week and a half to get it! B&M Housewares SUCK!

Wrong item advertised. I am not sure if this is Amazon's or Acehardware's fault, but this Hoover HEPA filter is NOT washable. It clearly states it is on the amazon description of it, but it is not. The Acehardware was fair enough to refund me, although I still paid the shipping for the wrong item. Please make sure you get the correct filter. The washable one has a sticker that is more blue (not green).

I tried not to believe some of these reviews. After all, the picture shows a Hoover Brand package, the Title says Hoover Long Life Replacement BY HOOVER, the product number is Hoover's number AND the list price is the Hoover list price. So why did they send me a generic cartridge in a different package that says "Designed to fit Hoover" - Because they are deceptive "bait and switch" leeches that don't deserve to carry the Amazon name. Shame on B&M and shame on Amazon...whether or not the product meets my satisfaction - this flagrant practice must not go unpunished. Customers who purchased these misadvertised products should not rate them with anything but a 1, even if the product is decent, because they are misrepresenting their products and prospective customers are being misled into buying a lesser quality product. I give them an F.

I searched for, found, and ordered a Hoover quality filter. In returned I received a cheap, unwrapped, generic filter with a poor quality filter media. Furthermore, the filter was wrapped in an arabic newspaper. This is the ultimate bait & switch. I will never order from this company and again and would encourage Amazon to remove them from their site.
