Does this unit have to sit away from the wall? Or can it sit off to the side tucked in a corner against the wall? How much space needs to be around it

The outside of the unit does not get hot so it can be placed next to anything. As far as space needs, there are angled intake vents in the rear which need a little gap. I give it about 2 inches of a gap from the wall because space is not an issue for me. It could be less if needed due to the angled intakes, however.

No it can sit next to wall. I have mine sitting next to couch up against wall

so far, and it hasn't been that cold yet, it seems to need about 5" clearance before it heats up the surrounding wall/furniture.

the outside unit does not get hot so you can put it up against the wall if you wish

Ours is sitting on a 20" deep desk that is 5" from the wall. The unit completely functional on this desk.

It can extend out from the wall about a foot or be within four to five inches from the wall. I absolutely love mine!

It's NOT a wallhugger. I don't have an exact measurement but it needs quite a bit of space to recline fully.

I just measured, and see it takes 39 1/2" on each wall. Ours probably isn't tucked EXACTLY into the corner, but that's pretty accurate. It tucks nicely into the corner and is a great space saver.

The answers given thus far are right - the actual unit is about 26" at max, so you ideally need a minimum of about 28". Ours sits in a 30" space - fits easily and works well.

No it is not a corner unit. However, it is small enough that it would fit in a corner without taking up too much room.

this unit should be free-standing and not inside a cabinet. Leave about 3 to 4 inches around the sides and back

Ours does. It fits perfectly in a corner with just an inch or less from each wall.

You will have to move the bench away from the wall a few inches. Still a great bench!

We have ours next to the fireplace with about 7 inches away from the fireplace and another 7 inches away from the next wall to the right. Ours is not against a large open wall as depicted in the photo.

When you have it set up in a corner, it will extend out about 37", measuring from the corner of the wall to the front of the unit.

I believe the most important spacing is the back where the fan is located. The unit will need to be at least 4 inches fro the wall to allow adequate air flow.

14" away from the wall gives you plenty of room, I am very pleased with it. When I need another one this is the one I will purchase again.

if you have baseboard there will be space. We actually cut into our baseboard so it sat flush to the wall.

You can put it next to the wall, but not against it. I wouldn't recommend it b/c the hinge or lid may hit the wall. I put ours as close to the wall as we can get it and it is still a space saver.

It doesn't sit flush with the wall corner. There are spacers that give it a solid connection to the wall without being flush.
