The filter ended up in a cheap plastic bag that didn't even completely seal the filter. I decided to see if it would fit in a vacuum and it didn't. It doesn't lock like the original Bissell filter, even after trying to force it. Looks like a copy of the original Bissell filter. Warning, although I chose Revain as the seller I was disappointed to learn that this is not an original Bissell filter that does not fit in the vacuum cleaner.
