Is air only going to blow out one side of the back vents? One side vent does nothing, no sucking in or blowing. TrueAir said its ok but I think not.

Mine is the same, no air in or out on one side. I think it has to do with vacuum or something but let me assure you that these little machines work wonderfully. I am extremely pleased with my two.

I have one with the airflow adjustment. You need to make sure it stays closed or you can be vacuuming along and not notice it open. You soon find out that you left the dirt laying there because the vent was open!

Air blows out of the front . It pulls the air from the vent and into the room . It can not be reversed unless you are mounting it from the inside . If you are trying to push air through the system . So it does exhaust into the room .

Interested also in a pulled air configuration. I want to use is as a whole house fan in my master bed which has a gable interior wall to attic. Im thinking of using a very breathable filter/foam material before the motor instead of this vent on the pulled side. The material will be visible inside the bedroom. On the pushed air side (inside attic) I will use this vent.

the vents are on the sides. the entire back exposes the cooling panel. I don't know why others say it is vented on the back

If I recall, squeeze the base of the air valves and try blowing. It takes a bit of effort to squeeze the valves and blow at the same time,if I can remember correctly. Let me know if it works :-)

There aren't any "vents" per-say, you can direct the air flow left to right via "finns" controlled by a tab above the discharge port. It works well enough.

As others have stated, there are indicator (s) on the housing that dictate which way air travels. This is normally found on any fan out there. The rear fan is generally set up for exhaust as it follows the flow of air thru a case (the front is an intake, rear exhaust...air flows from the front to the back). In my opinion, a top exhaust fan is needed as well (remember hot air rises) if your case supports it. Remember this Mr. Thompson, as a rule of thumb the intake/exhaust setup should generally have equal numbers (if four fans, two should be exhaust, two intake). Go to www.tomshardware.com and type in the search "fan configuration". This will give you a better overall understanding of the physics of case pressure, fan setup, rpms, fan speed, noise, etc. The debate of the mighty fan configuration is as diverse and sometimes heated as religion...so prepare yourself.....and welcome to the wonderful world of "Why is there smoke coming from my case"? Do your homework and read reviews on the multitudes of fans out there and you will end up with a balanced case.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

Jen is correct, it's just a low vent on the back. It zips down if you don't want it open. But, it is perfect, when open, to put a fan in front of it and keep some fresh air flowing through.

It seems to blow the same. I do not use the cool button. I just turned it on and held in the cool button, and the air flow seemed the same.

Not sure what you mean. The exhaust breath goes thru center round vent when exhaling. I put my hand over it to seal the outer edges when using. This blows air out around your face to check seal.

Probably not. Sounds like you have something not venting / vented properly.

The back vent opens up so you can clean it a little but it isn't easy to clean. Sorry wish I had more advise....hope this helps some.

I did not say it blew out hot air . I said it blew the air out the top which help circulate and keeps the air moving around the unit . This in turn helps the unit pull in more uncirculated air which removes more moisture .

I use the vent air, works great, however also purchased for son and husband, does not work in their cars: HHR and elantra, the vent is set up larger in those. I drive town and country

Hello, the side windows do not vent. The front can be used completely open, with a screen, or with a windshield.
