Is the flow of air to the left of the device? I just received this purifier, and the flow of air is center as I would have thought

On my machine; facing the machine, the flow of air is coming out the right side; which would be the left side exiting the unit if behind it.

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

It maybe intrusive but Hey..if don't want it work well..then don't keep it 3ft from the wall..understand the air will be grasp around it..if it only comes from one direction..then your not getting the full effect of the purifier ..and you might as well not have one. Anything that circulates better air quality needs to grasp from various directions..I hope you have figured something out by now. I just happened to see this. Mine was in the middle of the living room ..but in understanding what the unit needs to do and for me to get full benefits. I'm totally pleased.

I would ask the manufacturer because I couldn't get air flow to work on mine and had to send it back. Good Luck!

Sorry; I have no suggestions. I have not experienced that problem with my Purifier.

With the Filtrete material that I received recently, the instructions do not say anything about how to place the filter material so that one particular side faces the oncoming air and therefore the other side faces the outgoing air. I cannot see any difference between the two sides of the material that I received most recently, i.e. the reinforcing mesh is either on both sides or is centered. I vaguely seem to remember that several years ago, the instructions used to differentiate between the two sides and I could see that the reinforcing mesh was on one side rather than on both sides or centered. I'm assuming that you received your FIltrete material recently and the two sides seem identical.

All GermGuardian Air Purifiers intake air in the air and blow it out on the right side to create a circular rotation of air around the room. It does a great job in purifying the air in a small office or bathroom. I just sat in front of this GermGuardian Air Purifier with the right side facing me and on the highest setting. Bear in mind, I like a cool, powerful fan as I am hot natured, and I do not believe that this air purifier could also be used as an efficient desk fan.

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

No...there is no way to change the directional flow of air. I even tried to take it apart to see if I could manually flip the fan and motor. This is truly for thru wall, room to room air circulation, not ventilation.

It sucks air from the front and blows filtered air from the back. I suppose you could have it facing any way. I usually have the side that sucks the air facing the room so it isn't restricted.

Yes. Air flow is definitely slowed down by at least a third. Can tell when filter is pulled out if you feel the flow thru the vents it increases dramatically. And it makes a rather loud noise as the air flows thru it. Can hear it all over the house. Also have to be careful cleaning it as the foam pad has a tendency to shift if not careful. Saves money over time but has a few drawbacks.

As you face the machine, it will come out of the right side. Mine actually blows toward some house plants I have and they have benefited from it. BTW I run this 24/7 and it performs like a champ! I have mine draining into a 5 gal bucket and I can't believe all the water it removes from the air in the house...great for here in damp Oregon. Regards, JWM

the fan blade goes to the right. if properly installed the air will come out of the back of fan. if you close the case and turn it on you must be able to feel the fan blowing, if not it is installed wrong.

Yes, the filter is in the unit. Air escaping from the rear is proper. That is the air being vacuumed up in the front, catching the debris going thru the filter and passing out the back of the unit.

To me, it merely moves air, which is what I want it to do. It has three speeds and oscillates. It is extremely quiet and serves our purpose perfectly. Whether it purifies that air at all, I have no clue. Can't tell the difference.

It is part of the purifier system. Blue light on left front of unit indicates it is on, however you will not hear the fan run just as you do not hear it until the thermostat kicks in on the heater. If you want to stricktly run it as an air circulation device (room fan) I don't think you'll have much luck. It is tied to the air purifier so may work for circulation as well. Just as a comment, I am more than happy with my unit. It works very well and is safe around my baby grandson.

Depends on which way you place it. You can have it push or pull air. I have two in my case now, one as an intake and one as an exhaust. The side with the Corsair label is where the air is pulled from, opposite side is where it's pushed out.
