Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HOOVER 40120101 HEPA Final FilterCustomer Review: inferior outsourced replacement Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Not a tight fit Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Not the right filter for my vacuum. Summary: 2 Stars
I have a Self Propelled WindTunnel Upright, but this filter does not fit with my machine. It's going in our donate bag. Maybe someone else will be able to use it.
Customer Review: It is what it is Summary: 5 Stars
It's a filter. Just like the old one. Fits perfect, and it filters. Can't ask for much more.
Customer Review: Hoover Filter Summary: 5 Stars
This filter fits my vacuum exactly. It is the same as the one that I used before. Works great
