Does the air filter through the front and out the top? I'm wondering how far from a wall it would need to be positioned. Thanks!

You can push it against a wall. The top has two chambers, one for intake and the other with a filter for intake.

It does blow out of the top in the back. but it blows straight up. I guess I wouldn't want it real close to a wall or under a picture or two which would then get any dirt that didn't get filtered by the 3 filters. I don't think there is any such dirt but who knows?

Air enters from the front and out the top. We don't position ours close to a wall but for no significant reason

Draws air in from the front, blows it out the top (basically behind and a lil below the top controls). I'd say 6"-12" should be enough distance.

It does not have a hole on the top just vents. The filter fits there and maybe you could put something else there to cover it like maybe some plastic cut to the size of the filter ?

I believe it sucks air from the front and sides and blows it out of the top so I don't think it would be a problem up against a wall. I've had mine against a wall for a few days now with no problems.

You will need a hole somewhere to allow vented air to flow through, either on opposite wall or could be on same wall but not too close to the vent. The vent installs by removing one block -- or close to it - you have to remove enough to allow the fan and controls to fit through.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

It has an internal squirrel cage blower that can be used to ventilate to the outside or to the top-front. There are instructions on removing and turning the blower 90 degrees for top front use. The task is pretty simple and only requires a cross-tip or phillips screwdriver. This must be done before mounting on the wall under a cabinet.

The air flows in the front panel and out a vent on the top of the unit. You can definitely put the unit in a corner or up against a wall.

Hi KatieeB, I pulls air from the back and through the filter, so it needs to sit out a 12"-18" for walls and furniture. It then blows out the air from the front. I have cats and I love this air cleaner, although I have only had it about 3-4 months. I always run it on the 2nd setting, not terribly loud, but it can easily be heard. If you run it on the lowest setting it is almost silent. I hope this helps, Shirley.

It vent out the back and needs to have space to circulate. If no space on top, then sides most have space to let air circulate.

If you are referring to the air filter on back wall, front means looking at you facing out towards the doors.

Not sure. Mine is through the wall. I think you just install it in the window like any other ac though

They recommend about a 6" clearance in the back for ventilation. The sides, I do not believe, have any clearance specifications. You may want to check their tech specs on their website for side clearances, just for confirmation.

I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well. The fan is so quiet I have to look at it to see if its on. I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood).

the pre filter goes down first the air filter goes on top. This filter set up is horrible. Keep an eye out for air leakage around the intake seal portion of the air filter. If there is dust in the intake port running to your carb you can use a little grease on the intake portion of the air filter to help seal it.

Air is drawn into the front of the unit then, after filtering, exits the top directed upward and slightly to the rear. Have been using this unit for several days and am quite happy with it.

It comes out the top. No problem putting it against the wall. Despite other comments, I have never had a leak of any kind and I have two of them, one of which is 4 yrs. old.

It is kind of an odd air circulator. It draws air in through the front and out the top. I got mine because my wood stove has made my house dusty but it also draws the cooler air from the floor and circulates the warm air up near the ceiling. I imagine you could lay it on its back to direct the air flow. It is also designed to be hung on the wall upside-down which is great for filtering the air in smoky rooms.
