Worn hose and main nozzle fitting on my original hose rendering the vacuum unusable (no suction due to leaks). Bought and it works like a champ. ALMOST an OEM replacement. I say this because the color is wrong and I don't believe it was made by Bissell (not 100% sure though) and the hose is about a foot shorter than the OEM. For me, the length is not critical. Works well, perfect for a vacuum cleaner.
