Can I set it on the floor instead of a table? The mist comes out the top, right? :)

It won't harm the surface, but placing it at a height helps spread the mist throughout the room. If kept on floor, most mist will drop to ground before it can spread in the room.

This diffuser busted and ruined the wood on top of our dresser. I don't recommend it

Nope! It is a very fine mist and with any circulation of air you won't have any trouble. Really great humidifier for small room or travel!

I wouldn't put it directly on the surface, but you could put a cookie sheet or metal tray underneath and you would be ok as long as you are close by with a pitcher of water or hose. It might even be better to put the tray on top of a few bricks or floor tiles just to make sure the table top doesn't get too hot. You can also get concrete board at home improvement stores (used to line chimneys, etc). Then you wouldn't even need the tray.

The mist should be at about room temperature. Could feel a little cooler as it evaporates on your skin.

Just be careful when you take the top off to refill. Water will drip out of the top. Otherwise when it is running, the mist is so fine it dissipates quickly. I have mine sitting directly on my wood desk. I just make sure to keep a paper towel handy when I refill.

No, feel free to place a cocktail on the top, I do it often. Watch wind direction and be sensible on proximity to flame.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

I keep it off the floor myself, but as to whether it needs it? Maybe the air flow is better or something.

You could but there are some protrusions on the bottoms and you would have to fix it so it sat flat on the floor.

The fan can be set on the floor or up on a table. I have found that the oscillating grill moves the air quite nicely. I am pleased with my purchase.

I use this in my bedroom at night, and set it on a wood side table. I have not had any problems with condensation on the table or anything around the diffuser. The mist it emits is so fine that it doesn't seem to settle anywhere in particular, just diffuse into the air.

It sits on the floor while warming up so there is no problem there as long as you aren't pressing on the steam trigger button. I really wouldn't recommend it sitting there for any long period of time(safety reasons). Make sure the pad is not wet when you do. That may leave water marks on wood floors.

This is a standup item to be placed on a flat surface. I have mine high on a china cabinet and the mist hits the whole room. Be advised though, the smell does not linger, so I have it set to spray every 15 minutes (15, 30, and 60 minute switch).

Yes, but the out put of air would be too small. This mister works best at spraying at one person or a small group around a table. If I was to buy one again for outdoor use, I'd go for the ones that connect to the hose and swing back and forth with a big fan. The Soleus Air I use mostly indoors to save on AC cost. My setup; I have a boxfan at the window blowing fresh dry air into room. About 7 feet away from me is the soleus blowing mist directly at me. I have it set for minimum mist so there is not much cooling but nothing gets wet either. As the day gets hotter, I add more mist. Be careful. too much mist will wet the furniture. But even if it does some days are just too hot to worry about the furniture and I blast the mist! I usually cycle 30 minutes on then 30 minutes off to let the humidity dry out of the air and that is also enough time for any wetness in furniture to dry up also. Also, the higher you can place the unit the less chance of things getting wet by the mist. A few improvements they can do. #1 have the air osculate by placing moving vertical fins in front. #2 have horizontal fans to direct air upwards or downwards. Increase water tank to 5 gallons.

Yes, but I caution that your floor and the area may become damp from the mist.

It is a fine wet mist. If you place sprayers right above tables, chairs etc. they will get wet. The mist is very fine and will dissipate in the wind. If you place the sprayers away from furniture, it will work fine.

Yes it could sit on the floor. I would still recommend anchoring the top if possible.
