After the brushed motor hit my Hoover flair and my search for a replacement was unsuccessful, I found it here. Even though it's not a brushed motor, it does a great job on low-pile carpets and is a perfect head replacement without an adapter. The head doesn't allow the vacuum to stand upright, but I didn't expect this to happen, even the original head had a stability issue. The part seems pretty solid, I haven't noticed any flow restriction or performance degradation and it rolls easily across the floor/carpet, I think it's a great part for the money and it keeps my poor old Flair doing what it's supposed to do . , raise the dirt!
