I couldn't cut the outer part.....so I dug into the hepa to see what the layers REALLY looked like. It still smelled very clean...there is some dirt on the layers, but it was very light and a lot of the layers were still snow white - and after using this hepa for 5 years in my Rainbow I was shocked at how little dirt was on it. I know you're supposed to change them every two years I believe? I changed mine about a year ago but kept this one because it still was working well....I wanted to eventually cut into it someday to see what it looked like.......this was five years of moderate to sometimes heavy use. It actually looks worse in this picture that it did looking at it. I will also add that when I FIRST got my Rainbow in 2006, the first few months I wasn't changing the water as often I should have. Luckily, reading the forums taught me and from that point on I started changing water and cleaning the separator each time - I also fell off a ladder once with my rainbow running. I took the brunt of the fall but you can imagine how much sloshing water and the motor running during that fall. I will also post a pic of the fans in my rainbow
