There are 3 answers to the length. That is it exactly?Does it need side venting because it gets too hot?

There are vents on the top and right side. We have experienced no overheating problems and love the product. It is the easiest toaster to clean that we have had.

I haven't measured it but it is about 6 ft when stretched out. You need to keep it as short as possible since it gets hot and will radiate heat that offsets the cooling effect. I'm actually looking for an insulation wrap for it. Mine will only cool a small room. I actually got it to use in a tent.

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

It is an island hood so you do need some space for it. You also need electricity, ducting and another person to help put it up. It's a great looking unit. The stainless scratches easily so you have to be very careful when installing it. The vent stack is adjustable so you have wiggle room on the height. Do follow the instructions carefully. They are very specific about how far above the range it must be so as to maximize the ventilation.

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.

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

They come in 2 sections - one is angled down to fit the back of the vent. The two sections together extend out to about 36". If you need it longer than that you could buy another one and cut off the angle part, then attch them all together and you'd end up with another 36".

Hi! The actual heat vent is only 15 in. (not really impressed), and its bottom is about 1 foot higher than the unit base (floor). Also, heat vent is about 1 in. wide. Also, there's a separate round-shape vent which is below the heat vent, blowing cool air out; NOT warm air. In general, I think it's not really better than other lower units. I would rate this one 3 stars at most.

The vent extender is smaller than 14" but ours is 14 inches also. I used a little duct tape on the sides and it worked fine. Hiding under a China hutch so you don't see this until the hutch is moved for cleaning.

Its pretty short I would guess around 18" before the heat part started ?I was hoping it would be longer but it was a great product and this was needed for this cold winter

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!!

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.

less than 4ft. if it is long enough then it's worth it. I have not have overheating since using it.

2 side windows are large enough to provide good ventilation. We have to close them at night when temp dropped down into 60s. We haven't used it in a hot Texas summer yet.

There us an intake fan pulling air in Bach on the right, and out flow venting on the left side of the unit which spans about 3/4 of the left side, from back towards front. Front to back is 14" deep 21" left to right. The side vent comes 8.5" from back of unit. Hope this helps you. Tom.

I never actually measured it and it is now off-property, but it looked like six feet to me. It allows enough room to stretch from one side of the car to the other. If you are away from an outlet, I would use a 14 gauge extension cord or better for safety sake. Since my truck is outside, I run the extension cord under the hood so the hood can close over it to keep it out of the weather.

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