Where is the HEPA filter located? Is it on the side of the vacuum with a cover that will fall off?

It is on the front of the vacuum at the end of the exhaust. It is on the side with the cover; however, the cover snaps on very tightly so it is not an issue.

Inside in its own compartment and space. Very handy place. I love this vacuum. The hand vac that attached to the wand is awesome and I use it on my stairs.

There is a spot for it by the filter. Remove the large lid and look down into the filter. There is a spot there.

Generally speaking the only IN airflow is through the hose of the vacuum, so other places of air flow would to exit the machine. The black foam seal would go towards the inside, to force all airflow through the filter and not possibly around it.

You remove the filter, run a vacuum cleaner brush over it, and reinsert it. You can also buy a replacement if it wears out or becomes damaged.

It's on the top of the vacuum just below where it says "ATRIX HEPA filter".

Well it's more like you can blow the filter out with compressed air or vaccum them out. There is two of them. As far as that non removable Hepa filter, there is a Hepa button, but I havent taken it apart to check it out . Hope this helps

I bought it for my grandchild so it's not in front of me to look at. From what I can remember you may be missing a part or something may be wrong. Try to google the vacuum and see if you can find a picture that shows that part of it.

The power cord plugs into the motor in the center. But the cord runs under the "cage" and out the bottom. How big is the hepa filter? I think it might work.

I have checked the Hepa filter from time to time. Over the two years or so in service, it still looks brand new. There is another filter behind the dirt catcher that pops out and back in very easily. I usually wash it one a month. Takes less than 3 minutes.

Most cabin air filters are located at the back of the glovebox behind a door. You may have push in on the side of the glovebox to release the tab that stops your glovebox from opening to far so it can hang lower to access the air filter door. Hope this helps

The vac tube is removable and replaced by a cover. The blower tube fits where the bag is attached.

As one comment said, you can use the vacuum for the back filter and the front one you can rinse out. Thing is, when a filter gets really dirty, especially the HEPA like one, I like to put a replacement one in, even though supposedly they say its reusable yadda yadda yadda . . .

the manual says "Do not rinse or wash the filter made with hepa media. It is available from hoover.com as part number 303172001

Neither. It's just a straight HEPA filter. Air is sucked through the filter and out the other side.

The Hepa filter is in the front of the vac, as you can see from the picture, and I think you can rinse it out. There are two more sponge/cloth filters that rest in the vacuum outside and under the canister that can also be rinsed out. There is also a filter inside the canister that can not be removed, however the canister itself removes easily and rinses easily.

I did not personally think the one that came with my vacuum fit perfectly. It had a small gap between the filter and the vacuum. This one seems to fit my vacuum just as well if not better. For me, if I should discover it is not quite the right size I will just add a seal using hot glue. This will seal the hole and not ruin my vacuum. This may not be optimal for someone else. Give it a try and if you are unhappy with it then return it to Amazon. They are always great about returns.

It's pleated paper like you see in automotive applications. I suppose you could vacuum or blow it out with an air compressor and get by a few times that way but eventually you're going to have to buy replacements just like every other HEPA filter out there. Mine came with an extra couple of cartridges when it arrived if that helps.
