hi everyone, does this unit need lots of room--how far from the wall should it be placed to suck in the air? thanks

It sucks air in from the sides and blows it out the top. I keep mine about a foot from the wall.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

What would be my option if I only have the laundry room to install a dryer booster fan? The home I just purchased has a layout that discharges from the dryer to the wall (2'), up to the ceiling vertically (9'), and then 20' horizontally outside. Thanks.

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.

I only use it when the system has a vacuum. That way no air if you hold the unit upright

You need to allow about SIX inches from wall . This will allow plenty of room to work with all connection needed.

It is 1" away from the wall. I've had mine for about 2 years and love it! My kids love to draw all over it and I've never had an issue with not getting it clean...now the wall underneath it, is another story!

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

It can be as close as a few inches from the wall. No special clearance is needed.

I"m with GoJoe with his answer. Air passes through from the back. I have used this unit for two years in my wife's green house and has performed perfect.

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.

I suggest you to place it about 2.5/3.0 feet away from walls. It should be enough... Have a good workout!

The unit is nothing more than a squirrel cage fan like the one on your furnace. It draws the air through a filter and it can be mounted where ever it will draw the air for your application. The height recommendation is a safety thing so you don't hit it if you move under it--unless you are very tall!I like mine a lot.

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

I located the manual, Elizabeth. The minimum clearance height from the floor is 7'. With the down rod provided, it appears that the unit hangs 12 or 13". Hard for me to tell because it is mounted on a slant ceiling outside and was running.. So it will be very close for 8' ceiling. This is the Phone number in the manual for Emerson Technical support.....1-800-654-3545....for questions.. the fan does indeed move a lot of air..... Dorothy

We initially set it up with the bed pulled out. When we put it up into futon mode (or the couch kind of position) it was only a few inches from the wall and we leave it there so that we can use the bed when needed without moving the entire unit.

I installed the main vacuum unit in a central location and the long hose reaches everywhere in my garage (32'x25'). The hose is like 15 feet long (sorry I cant go out and measure it, I'm laid up in a cast) Can someone answer how long the hose is?
