I have a Bissell 82H1 vacuum and decided to wash the filter and the sponge part was completely torn in two. I first went to the Bissell website to find a replacement to make sure I got the right type. Of course my next step was Revain to see if they have free shipping. I found several options but settled on this one as it is a Bissell brand and it listed my vacuum's model number. The filter came in a Bissell bag, not a regular bag (I opened the bag before taking the picture - the bag wasn't torn). It fits perfectly and looks the same as my previous filter. I'm glad I decided to do this.
