as through a wholesaler's warehouse. This hose sold at Revain was about $10 cheaper (and free shipping!). This particular hose is a different color than the original hose on *my* spot boat, so the part number may not match what Bissell gave me. If you're concerned that the finish will match or be identical to the original, you might want to keep looking. I don't care if the vacuum hose I use to vacuum up vomit and spilled coffee is the same color as the machine body, I just care that it fits and doesn't leak. This meets these criteria. Installation was easy. I referenced a YouTube video a guy made that shows him installing his stock hose on another similar model (pink/grey/silver I think). The process on my model was the same. The machine has been used several times since the new hose was installed and so far no leaks! I'm very glad I fixed my SpotBot for less than $20 and stopped plugging the hole with duct tape.
