I just bought one and air is only coming out of the right side (as you face it) of the unit. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Yes it is suppose to do that! So it's like that on all if them but it'll give you one honest answer it's far the "BEST ONE" I've ever found!! Good luck to you !!
1274525
I don't know if that's the way it is supposed to be, but It is that way on mine also
1274526
Yes, that is the way it is supposed to be... I assume. Don't worry, I felt the same way to and thought something was broken or awry. However, I did email the support team at germ Guardian to get the real answer.
1274527
Yes, both my units do that. I believe that is because of the vertical design. It works good for me.
1274528
Yes. I have 3 in slightly different sizes and they all work the same as you describe, and they do a great job at freshening the air and filtering pollutants.

It does not support the Air. It has the old larger connection. The Air needs the new smaller "Lightning" connection.

Not sure but maybe you need an additional air cleaner? Mine is fairly new and I am thrilled with it, and am considering getting another one for the other end of my place.

Air is drawn into the front of the unit then, after filtering, exits the top directed upward and slightly to the rear. Have been using this unit for several days and am quite happy with it.

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.

its supposed to slop downwards towards you. just make sure the vents can suck in the air from the thermaltake

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

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.

The vents can direct air to the left or right, but not a hard left or right. More like the left side of the room. But it cools so dang well that I have never bothered with the vents. I just point them to the largest area of the room and I'm good to go!

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

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.

On my unit when the filter plugged it just restricted air flow as the air is drawn thru the filter. It seems like there is a different problem if its blowing dust out into the room such as something not seated properly.

The instructions indicate that you should leave a few inches around the unit (from what I remember) so that the unit can exchange air efficiently. You don't need much more than that.

This is difficult to answer. First, is this a new unit that has just been put in service? If so, during the setup procedure did you remove the upper housing and insure the filters were not wrapped with a protective cover? Is, then I suggest that you select each of the 3 different fan speeds and see if the air flow changes. If not it may be a defective control unit. In any case, if you can not determine what may cause the problem and this is a new unit I would call the manufacture and explain the problem to them.

I had the same issue at first. I figured if you'll set something underneath the system it will help to even the flow and after a while take it out and it should work perfectly. Although it seem like it is evenly on the floor it tend not to work properly. I hope this helps.

Good question... the instructions refer to an arrow that indicates air flow direction, but there was no arrow on my unit... I am assuming from your question you didn't see an arrow either? I tested it with a known consistent air flow both ways and found no difference (within the margin of error of the unit) so I just arbitrarily picked an orientation and use it the same way each time (hoping this will deliver a more consistent comparison). I used a piece of tape on the outside of the unit to indicate airflow and just always "aim" it the same way. Perhaps the manufacturer could give us all a bit more clarification???

I wish I could help.. I had the same experience. I decided to return it for a refund and I purchased something similar but from a different maker-Conair. Sorry I couldn't help, Good luck
