ok i have to admit embarrassed i never thought of buying a replacement filter because i bought this filter before the internet but recently i thought to review revain. and here he is. It fitted perfectly and now I intend to have a spare here on the shelf. I am very happy that I can continue to use my Kenmore vacuum! I bought it in 1994 and it has always worked well and never had a problem in almost 17 years of owning and using it. :Above)
