is it vented to avoid mold build up

There is no venting. Has never been an issue for me. My toothbrush is usually never more than damp when I place within the device to be sanitized.

This unit does need to be vented outside but it doesn't need any other drainage. The vent is just to bring fresh air into the unit.

Read the instruction book - there is a clearly marked water level line on the plastic tank. We put ours up against the wall when we're not using it. I think as long as there is sunlight and you are actively using it the water should be fine. The chlorine tablet is essential to discourage mold/mildew. If you are storing it for a longer period of time unused I would empty it and allow all water to evaporate out for a dry interior - otherwise mold and mildew will form in a sealed and dark space that has any moisture.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

The unit is sealed and weatherproof. We DO make sure the unit is dry before packing it back up but that's to prevent mold.

No, it's a gel so no need to worry about mold. I just fold it up and put it in the closet until my pup needs it again. Only maintence you will need to do is clean it by using a wet rag and push the gel around since most dogs sit in the same spot; all the gel will be pushed to the side or corner.

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use. Hope this helps.

If is the best thing I have done for air flow, when my coach is parked in storage the vent is open with no fear of water or bugs...great air flow..

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

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?

We have had no mold or mildew on it and we live in an area with heavy down pours. I cannot say for certain it is mildew resistant but ours has held up through the deep South weather.

so get one that's vented to avoid the carbon monoxide, I didn't know I thought vent less meant that build up would not happen??

There is no vent. I'm very impressed with the cover. It seems like high quality for te price.

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

no. machines like this will help prevent new mold spores from forming. existing mold issues must be handled by a different procedure.
