Can this sit next to a wall? Where does the air go in and come out? Is it heavy to move for housecleaning?

You can put the back against a wall. The vents are at the top and sides. It is compact and not heavy in my opinion.

it's flush against the wall but you can put a spaces between the wall and the headboard. also I have mine lifted off the floor because it was too low but other than that I love it. enjoy.

It comes out of the wall about a foot. Highly recommend it - really works great and is a huge space saver.

No way to mount the unit on a wall. It just sits there on the floor. Won't move from where you put it, though, when it's operating. As to the hose (and the other included accessories) ... trash 'em. I bought the 25-foot blue Plastair HoseKoil, PU425-1-3-AMZ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006ANRX/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1), and am quite happy with both the hose and the compressor. Exactly what I needed.

it only weighs a few pounds so it shouldn't be a problem but it may be a little awkward, not really designed to clean walls. The head pivots (front to back) so I guess it could be done> Good luck.

Yes and no. First of all, the cord comes out of the back so the unit can't be flushed against the wall. You will need to give about 2-3" of clearance or the cord will be stressed from bending. Second, the unit does get warm. Since the wall is an insulator, it prevents heat from maximum dissipation, making it less efficient. Third, some wall coatings, i.e. paint and wallpaper glue, shrinks or gets brittle from prolonged heating. So while it's possible to place this very close to the wall, it's not advisable.

Yes it's easy to move. I use mine in the laundry room and it took me a few times to get it to the right height to hang laundry

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.

It would move air, but what is your intent? If you use it as an exhaust fan you would have to move air from someplace else in the room (open window). If used as an intact fan, then it would make a positive pressure environment if no outside vent/window/door is open.

I would say it would be best if you do not. It is not stable but it is also very light. This is due to easy to move from room to room; but probably would be ok If you do not plan to move this around. I would suggest a low pile or hardwood floor would be best if you do plan to do this.

I"m with GoJoe with his answer. Air passes through from the back. I have used this unit for two years in my wife's green house and has performed perfect.

If one were to place it on a wall with the back to the wall, the fan would have no way to pull air into it. In theory, you could mount the bottom on a wall and blow air sideways, but you'd have no way to aim it. If you need this feature, I suggest the Holmes model HAOF90-UC.

No, It is really made to sit on the floor and if you did put it on a shelf it would send heat towards the wall. Sorry. Great unit though. When I want to use it I move it toward the middle of the room and when not in use it fits snugly against the wall (if storage space is a concern) Hope this helps.

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

1) Do not place unit near a textured wall; the fine dust is next to impossible to remove from such surfaces. 2) I use a natural surface cleaner to clean nearby wall and horizontal surfaces. 3) Be thankful that the particulate is on the wall and other nearby surfaces rather than in your lungs.

I use mine to store household cleaning supplies, canned goods, napkins, and kitchen aid mixer attachments. I do not have mine attached to the wall, but it is between two walls. It is pretty sturdy and I feel it could hold more.
