This is not a direct replacement as described. I don't know why my vacuum's model number is listed and I don't understand why Hoover says it's a compatible part. It is half an inch wider than the existing slot. The side-curved wings don't even come close to the seam line. There is no red bar. It's pretty embarrassing. I checked their website and they claim this is the right replacement. I will not buy anything from Hoover again. No, it's not Revane's fault, it's Hoover's fault.
