Does anyone know what the requirements are for venting around it (i.e. can it be built in?). I have a small shelf that it would slide into. Thanks!

it will not require a lot of space around it they do not get hot on the outside if it fits on your shelf it should work and it is a nice unit and looks classy

It can't be used as a built in. You need one that vents out the front for that.

We have it under the counter, but if you have room I do not see why you could not put it on the counter. We have vented it from the back, it seems to work much better when it has good circulation behind the unit.

it does not look like it can be mounted under the counter. it does not have the proper brackets and i also think it gives off too much heat and would not have enough venting space. Mine is sitting on the counter

It's best to mount this close to the ceiling. On the back there is a 4 inch exhaust. This will need to be vented to the outside at that approximate height.

The refrigerator needs space to vent it about 4 inches minimum on each side. We put ours in an unvented closet and put a thermometer I'm there to see how much heat the wine cooler put off. Where the rest of our house was 78 degrees the ism if of our closet was 80 degrees. I would call and ask the company to see if they would recommend putting the cooler under the counter.

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

Yes it can be vented thru the wall. This unit is very loud, much louder than I thought and I would not use it again for a house bathroom.

It does not come with the vent. You need to purchase either an 18 inch or 30 inch and you can buy from Amazon.

We had to buy special pipes for the venting to work. If you call a local distributor (Rinnai) they can give you more details.

It has no mounting screw holes and requires adequate space for ventilation. So if it sat on a shelf with 4" of space around sides, top and back

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

I would guess you would have to know the size of the opening in which you want to place it. I have 6 inches above the unit and it is placed in the corner so there is an open clearance behind it. I does get hot and needs to vent when you use the grill/convection features. I love the unit!!

Depends how tall your counter is - i think it lists the measurements. It also needs to vent - needs some space to blow out the hot (warm) air that is created when it is running so it could not be a tight fit. Also, while it cools, I would prefer it was colder.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.
