can it be used as a Built in unit? If so, how much space does it need in the back?

There should be approximately 2" of space around this unit in an under counter installation.

It does get hot so you need to leave space. This is not a freestanding unit so you have to have some kind of counter to actually put it in.

I think u need the back panel to keep it steady but it is thin so u can probably cut spaces out for cords and ventilation.

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.

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.

I think the answer is yes *if* you could lay the modem or storage down sideways or flat. I'm not in front of it right now but I would guess there is about 5-6 inches (13-15 cm) of space.

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but I would certainly think you could build your wall around the unit. You wouldn't want the wall to cover it or you wouldn't be able to utilize all the jets and controls.

I would think not. It's designed to be used in a closed space (where it works well)

No, it doesn't have any built in storage if that's what you mean. You could definitely fit a couple of small bins underneath, though.

The paperwork that comes with this unit states it is NOT suitable for mounting as a built-in. I am guessing that this has to do with the ventilation requirements.

I can't say for sure but, I would wager that it might be a little bulky for that. It's a nice unit and works well but, you might want to consider something less bulky/flatter unless you have enough room for it. i.e. the unit height is probably about 2.5".

Sure, assuming you have room for it. There's lots of storage space. Check the dimensions carefully.

Unit does have a compressor so it will need some ventilation to vent the heat that is produced during operation. Otherwise, it may not be able to cool as designed. Most of the ventilation needed would be towards the back of the unit.

I personally would not put it in a space without a little air circulation. This unit is being used in a small alcove with approximately 4-6 inches clearance around and works really well. The air is forced out through the bottom front.

Most likely not. It's not that big of a unit. Please read all reviews on this product before considering it.

Yes. Takes up very little room when not in use. So far, very happy with it.

I think all of that would fit. If you connect it into a rectangle the usable space is 60 inches long by 29.5 inches wide.
