We need to install this about 25' high on a wall. Does this require more frequent cleaning than other vents?

Yes. It can clog up with lint and needs to be cleaned out a few times /year as there is a cap inside that needs to slide up and down smoothly. It's a great product.

Not sure, haven't had mine long enough. But, as long as you keep your inside dryer screen clean it shouldn't be a problem. There are interior lint traps that would limit you from ever worrying about the outside fixture.

On the contrary. I would think this will work better than the traditional louvers.

I'm sure it will depend on how much use use your dryer. We do a lot of loads and run it almost everyday. I clean it only once a year, however your results may vary depending on how well you maintain the filter inside of your machine, and the types of laundry your household regularly washes.

Most certainly! My shop is 24 x 36, but with 10' ceilings. I typically run mine on low or medium in extreme cases of dust. It does a great job of keeping the air clean. One of the things you need to keep in mind is the installation location. It's best to mount the unit near a wall and parallel to the wall. The idea is while the unit is running, it creates a circular air pattern through the shop. The air flow creates a circular pattern around the shop and brings the dust back to the unit to be filtered. I'd highly recommend you give it a try.

I leave my fan on 24 7. However once everything has composted you could turn it off. It is not a major problem if the ventilation stops, such as a clogged vent (which happened to me). It has the smell of damp earth. I have even heard of people not running the fan at all. I do recommend running the fan all the time if possible. You can mount it as close to the wall as you like but you will have to pull the toilet out from the wall to empty the urine bottle . So it is best to mount it a few inches from the wall. When you mount it you can see how close you can get it to the wall and still pull the bottle out. I hope this helps. Jim. Down Time Marine

We have a 2400 square-foot house, and the unit is doing a great job. If installed properly, it will kill mold at the source and prevent it from spreading throughout the house.

Vent only has to pass through the wall about 1'. Do the best you can to mount unit where you can vent straight out a wall and not be below a window, door, or in a stairway... Hope this helps...

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

Sorry...but it's not yet dirty! :) However, I would just use one of those feather dusters that are flexible and can get in-between the vents.

The vents that suck in the bad air are on the sides, and it blows the clean air out of the top -- so I wouldn't think you would want it too close to the ceiling. I guess it depends how tall your ceilings are. Mine is sitting on the floor. It is a great purifier though -- it is super quiet and has enabled me to keep both my cat and my super allergic boyfriend :)

You have to have enough extension cords to reach that high. It cleans great in dusty conditions. I really like it.

You will need to purchase a wall suction holder. That's what we did. Worked great.

The best way to use it for your area would be to alternate rooms every other day. The specs state 625 sq. ft. on high but I alternate areas on setting four and it more than does the job. It pulls a lot of dust and debris from the air, so check the filters to wipe down clean at least every month! I've had mine about 3 months and my daily headaches stopped immediately. I've had NONE! i run it 24/7 and always put it in my bedroom overnight.

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.

I leave it on low 24/7 in the cats room. It keeps the air fresh. Once a week I turn if off for a few hours. I have been using it continuously for about 3 months. I bought several after the first one worked so well. So now I don't have to move it from room to room.

Depends on how dusty the house is and how close to the floor the return air is mounted. I clean mine twice a year.

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

That will depend on the environment. Ours has been going continuously for over six months in a relatively clean bedroom and shows no sign of being dirty. I believe the manual says you an vacuum it and extend the life.

It depends on the humidity you're at, and the humidity you're trying to get. I have a 2100 square foot house with high ceilings, and it makes a difference, but I'm also only doing like a 35% humidity in the winter... and I'm not really sure I ever get to 35% humidity, I just know it's definitely doing work. I would really recommend something bigger, as your house heater would likely allow for something bigger anyway. However, having one or two of these installed isn't a waste of time.
