Does it need to be elevated? Will it leave my floor wet?

it seems to work best about 3 feet off the floor. I placed it on a thick plastic cutting board, not the prettiest, but just in case. so far no leaks or moisture under the machine. Have used it daily for about 2 months with no concerns. much better than my last one.

Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for use under the humidifier. We do not recommend placing it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor.

Although not required to be functional, in our case, the unit was elevated to maximize the vapor flow over the face of the user (head & neck radiation patient). Yes, there is excess moisture from the unit when in the maximum position and recommend that a waterproof pad be placed around it especially toward the vapordirection...something like a bed pad.

The only time some water might escape or drip (aside from the emitted vapor) is when the container is removed from the base and opened for refilling. Otherwise, it does not leak, nor does the vapor condense on the surface below.

Yes, but you will get wet. It also takes a little technique. But with the power washer and the right tip it works. For the 2nd floor it gets a little whippy.

I'm not sure if it would be to high. But part if it DOES need to be in the water.

I have my little heater since 2011. I have it slightly elevated off the floor. Bought one of those decorative pedestals from Ballard Designs. No problem elevated. As long as the entire unit is sitting on a flat surface.

Hi, mine is installed on a second floor. The only issue we had was you need to be able to set it in place and access from below to secure the dain. In other words the drainage that came with it did not allow to be tighten from the top. Hope it helps

I built a raised wood base but don't have to. All you need is flat land. I would however at least have floor sit on bed of gravel to lift floor otherwise you can have water come in.

absolutely, it wont be any different than on a wood floor. but if its going to be in a wet area im not so sure that's a good idea. if your not sure about it getting wet or not, just run your power line to a gfci breaker to be safe.

Agree with NeeNee. It is only high enough to reach the floor. Plus, it feels more secure to set on a harder surface.

It has a drain built in. The last few inches at the feet you'll have to bail out though because the drain doesn't quite go all the way to the bottom.

You still have to wring it. Only time you dn wring it is when you are finished and you can hang dry. Too much liquid for your floors

No but it might make the surrounding floor damp if run at the highest setting.

I have a walk-in shower and I'm tall. I adjusted mine to as high as it would go. to Did not want to sit very low. Just from looking at it and my tub, I would think you might be just above the water if the tub were full.

I have not used it on a floor , you might want to contact a wood floor installer with this question , just to be on the safe side.

No, it does not leave the floor damp.It will leave the surface it sits on wet when it is on the number 5 setting. I run it on the third setting and have no problem.

It should be but I'm not exactly sure I just have my stand on a counter but the bottom does have something that gives it some grip it should be ok if wet

I did not mount this unit and it works well on the floor. The floor was level, but you might want to secure it for additional security.
