This is fake. The advertisement shows a Hoover filter, but it was packaged in an unmarked white bag. Nowhere on the filter did it say HOOVER 40130050. The filter looks almost like the original Hoover model but this DOES NOT FIT and I have tried several times to fit it. I thought of warming it up with a hair dryer to see if I could soften the plastic case so I could attach the filter. It's now in a bag in my laundry room - waste of money.
