Can this unit be positioned basically flush against a wall? Seems like the air intake is only in the front and the exhaust at the top?

Yes and no. First of all, the cord comes out of the back so the unit can't be flushed against the wall. You will need to give about 2-3" of clearance or the cord will be stressed from bending. Second, the unit does get warm. Since the wall is an insulator, it prevents heat from maximum dissipation, making it less efficient. Third, some wall coatings, i.e. paint and wallpaper glue, shrinks or gets brittle from prolonged heating. So while it's possible to place this very close to the wall, it's not advisable.

I believe it sucks air from the front and sides and blows it out of the top so I don't think it would be a problem up against a wall. I've had mine against a wall for a few days now with no problems.

I face the intake part out. I believe that way your not blocking the air from entering the filter.

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.

This unit can be installed with or without external vent. If you can not install external vent just do not do any changes. It will exhaust from it top front through a charcoal filter which is already installed by manufacturer. Aman

Hello Doug, Thank you for your question. The manual states the following: Unit MUST be hung vertically, with the water and gas connections at the bottom and the exhaust at the top. Kind Regards, Ross GadgetsGo P.S. If my answer helped you, please prefer us when you purchase.

it goes in from the front panel and comes out the top. You can place the unit against a wall without issues.

Yes. But the unit would not be flush with the wall. Rather it would sit on a mounting bracket (included) and be perpendicular to the wall.

The air intake are on both sides, not the back. It has a black plastic guard over them!

If you meant each side of the unit is against the wall and their corner also fit in the corner of the wall, the answer is NO. There is no corner on the unit, the backside is parallel to the front side, only shorter, so there is a small gap between the wall corner and the back side. Hope I explained it.

It would not work since the air intake would be blocked and it would be an eyesore since it's designed to be mounted between cabinets and the sides and top aren't intended to be aesthetically pleasing..

Exhaust vent out the top, vertical up. No power involved at all. See those slots in the side of the device?? Thats where air goes in so keep them clear

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

From the looks of the included tweeter mounting options (there are several) you should be able to flush mount... Though, I have put mine in the factory locations for a more clean look

You can put the back against a wall. The vents are at the top and sides. It is compact and not heavy in my opinion.

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.

Mine fits flush against the wall. I wish It was a little bigger. But for the price it's a nice mailbox.
