I see extension hoses; does that mean that you are supposed to vent the odor onto your neighbors porch or something?

You can vent to the outside, similar to a portable ac. I do not use the hose attachments. The filter on the back does the job and well. If I had a crawl space, I would use the hose to vent it. The cartridges are expensive but so worth it.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

It isn't recessed, so you'll need to account for extra space for the vent hose.

Ours came with the extension in the box. Its basically another pipe section. Ended up not needing it.

Negative... when the wood is smoking in the tray.. there is a tremendous amount of smoke..it would set off your alarms as well as those around you. After the smoking process the air in the backyard is somewhat permeated for a week or so...I like it but the neighbors may not. In an apt seting its a NO go!!

Not recommended as you would be able to smell fumes. Garage works great as it is somewhat vented

Yes. It is normal because it sucks all of the hot air out of the area through the hose.

It's vented thru an outside wall by use of a vent kit that pops up as an accessory to the water heater. The vent comes in various lengths, so you need to measure your installation before you order the correct kit. The vent dose not come with the unit... Again, it's an accessory.

YES that is how I use it 2 vent my cat box area outside. I mounted it outside just beneath the soffit.

The hoses are used to vent the AC out the window. I'm not venting mine though. What good is a portable unit if it has to be by the window? I haven't had any problems by not venting it, so I don't plan on doing it in the future.

They are hard plastic hoses and may extend to about 10 feet. You could certainly rig up a 'custom' solution from the duct section of your home improvement store.

the vent is to release the odor and smell of built up that stays at the bottom of the pump.

No, I was concerned about the same thing. they jut out far enough that at least with the hoses we use, we have plenty of clearance. Our hoses sit pretty flush, though. You might get a little rubbing when you're turning the valves on & off if you're using a hose with a large lip.

Scrape the peeling paint sample, I collected dust from above the door jam. I tried to go as close to the smell as possible. Mine turned out to be the mulch outside my apartment door, that was pushed up against the house, under the window where I smelled mold strongest. But if you have wet drywall, depending on where it is, you should check your caulking around windows, doors etc. Get a plumber in and have them look for a leak.

I do believe that is an issue with the pipes in your home. I had similar pressure issues in an old apartment.

No. I vented it in the room that it is being used. I ran a flexible pipe above the sink to prevent overflow. I don't get any odor and it works well.

No, it just means it's ready for a vacuum attachment. The air hose is connected through the 1/4" female pipe Thea's in the back of the unit. Proper air fittings is all you need.
