Can you safely put this unit against a wall? I cannot tell where the mist comes out.

You can put it wherever you want, but all the water is going to leak out onto your floor wherever you put it. Don't waste your money on this thing, it's really bad.Buy 2 of the teardrop ones, they actually work.

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 should be about 4 inches from the wall for air flow. Air is circulated through the filters. There isn't a visible mist like a vaporizer but it comes out of the top.

The base comes out a couple of inches which will keep it from going flush against the wall. But you can put it close. There are filters behind grates front and back where for air intake, and a fine mist comes out the top.

Yes, we have ours against a wall and the moisture comes out of the bottom front where the filters are. We love our, does a great job.

I mounted mine near the top of the walk-in shower wall to circulate the air and prevent mildew. It's been there for a year now and does the job very well in that situation. But for safety reasons, I only turn it on AFTER the shower and have it powered on a GFI circuit.

Yes! If you have the unit on high I have found this condensation to form unless the house is very very dry. I always set the unit on high for a little while then come back and adjust it down to where passing my hand through the mist just dampens my hand.

If u r going to install a thru the wall air conditioner, u definitely need a sleeve for the unit to be stable and secure. It is simply the proper way to do it. Hope this is helpful.

Light mist. Shouldn't be a problem if you don't leave under direct spray for an extended period of time. It's water. I use my cell phone, lap top, etc. on our patio while it's on - surrounded but not directly under.

It just hangs on the front. Keeps the air flow circulating but it isn't a seal.. The moisture has to escape from somewhere :)

you can take the white top off and the mist would go straight up. With the white cap, it comes out at an angle. I use a hose to direct it to a cage for an iguana. Works well.

This device generates heat so it needs to be mounted in a ventilated metal box if it's going to be visible. I have mounted these inside cupboards mounted to the side wall and on top of cupboards. I always shim the device so that air flow is all around it

I would say no . You would need a corner piece to come up the wall to the window unit .you might've able to join 2 vent kits together to do it

The unit is designed for unrestricted air flow. Placing the unit on its front or back will disrupt or stop this air flow which probably cause considerable damage to the unit itself. Not recommended!

It will reduce the mist, the question is how much wind will be in the are and how high will it be mounted? if it is mounted up high in a windy area it will not be effective.

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.

The unit emits a "beam" of mist that spreads around the room. You can actually see it as it comes out of the unit.

The answer by "brbrigs" is correct! I just received mine in the mail and set it up and there was no mist coming out. Apparently I filled my tank with too much water and it looked like the basin at the base was a huge pool of water. I dumped that out and poured a few cups of water out of the tank. I restarted the humidifier and there is a strong mist coming out now! Try that. I think it'll work.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

I have one that is actually under a slight overhang and when it starts to go up it goes back away from the overhang and clears so I think against a wall would be fine.

If it is a through the wall you need a sleeve. The sleeve allows the condensation to drain outside.
