Product details
Dust collection on many Hoover uprights, including the models sold under the 7063 and 4353 designations, depends on a flexible bellows keeping the air path sealed, and this is that bellows, part 38673001, matched to seal the same way the original does.
A bellows earns its keep by flexing: the accordion-style wall gives where a rigid duct would crack straight away, absorbing the small movements the machine makes in normal use. That same flexing is also exactly what eventually wears the material out. Once a crack opens or a seam gives way along one of the flex points, the airtight path the bellows exists to maintain breaks down. Suction weakens, and fine dust begins escaping into the air around the machine well ahead of ever settling where it should, which often shows up simply as more visible dust in the room even though nothing else about the machine has changed.

Fit is unusually important on a part like this, since its entire job depends on a tight seal rather than just physical size. Look up your exact model number against the fitment list before placing an order, as that list is the complete coverage documented for this bellows.
