Is this downdraft ventilation?

No you will need desperate ventilation. However remember you don't have the open flame heat like a gas stove so less ventaltion is needed just to remove smoke or orders. I just have a microwave above with vent and it is perfect!

maybe...it is high velocity directional warm air. I would vacuum it first rather than stir it up and re-distribute. Just my opinion.

Ventilation is built in along the front bottom of the unit as you can hopefully see in the photo. No need for any special arrangements to use as a built in. We've had it for about 6 months now and it's working beautifully.

I think the vent through our roof has a backdraft preventer, not the heater itself. I have noticed no back draft at all.

Yes. The back draft damper allows airflow in only one direction. Moving air forces the damper open. When air flow stops, the damper closes. Note: install the damper vertically. I believe this damper is gravity closed.

No it is not. I removed the down rod to prevent the fan from moving in windy weather.

No. This air circulator/ fan moved little to no air. I returned it and bought a Holmes heritage collection fan which I love.

I have one with the airflow adjustment. You need to make sure it stays closed or you can be vacuuming along and not notice it open. You soon find out that you left the dirt laying there because the vent was open!

For anyone else that is interested, I got a response from MetroVac already. They said, "It is normal for venting thru housing to avoid overheating."

Hi, Not really. What I can tell you is that, when the unit did work, it kept a 480 sq/ft area comfortable. I would not believe the "vent less" statement. You do need some air exchange otherwise, you start having headaches. I'd find a different way to take the chill off your basement. Also, do not expect any help from ProCom, customer service is non-responsive. I have tried to get some help from them for over a month, I can't get through. You may want to keep that in mind. I hope this helps.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC

No! Unless u run your a/c all day with the bottom vents open provided u have enough NEG pressure on your fan/filter combo... Hope this helps!!!

I installed a custom circular 15" vent with wide louvers angled at about 45 degrees down. This setup produced a large amount of blow back. In order to improve the exit flow, I straightened out the louvers which allowed more air to vent outside. I am still getting a small amount of blow back so it seems the 15" vent is not large enough.

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

I do not know for sure although it does move an amazing amount of air even on the lowest setting.

Mine does not have a vent, but plenty of air circulates from underneath, as far as I can tell. I've not seen any problems with this. Perhaps the description listed here belongs to another model?

Yes. There is still lint, however most of it blows straight down. It doesn't seem to be as bad as a regular vent, but there is still lint.
