Will the vents moisten carpet? What direction do they blow? I would like my carpets to remain dry.

Hi Fred, the vent you see at the bottom of the device is the water vent and it is angled down. Yes, it blows the water on the floor (my hardwoods were soaking wet after 15 min of use). I returned the item, and I have no idea why it was so poorly designed.

This item is quite loud. I have used it downstairs and placed it on my hearth. It did not moisten my wood floors or chaise that is was blowing directly on. I will probably use it as a swamp cooler this summer, it's just to loud to use all the time while I am indoors during the winter.

You can definitely feel the output of cool air. Ours is on hard wood floors with a piece of felt underneath to prevent any scratches. Neither the floor nor the felt have ever been even slightly damp. I would imagine carpet would be ok

We have wood floors, but have never noticed any moisture on the floor. The vents are on the side and go straight out .

I've never noticed any moisture in the carpet, even when on the highest fan setting and highest humidity setting.

No moisture on the floor or carpet. They blow out the sides. Excellent unit.

No worries. The air blows from the bottom front vents (note picture), but they are not aimed down at the floor. Because my humidifier is set in a corner, I placed mine on a small step type foot stool to raise it about 6 inches. It works perfect to aim the air out into the bedroom between a nightstand and bedroom dresser.

Hi, The Stinger vac was given to a friend. He only uses it to pick up dust and dry materia. Sorry, I don't know how the Stinger would work on a wet carpet.

we have a carpet cleaning business so we bought for that to dry carpets its a fan cool air yes. we also thought about using it in our home for the air to move. its stronger than any fan I ever had so be careful where you face it would knock pictures off the wall on high speed.

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 .

Based on the authorized dealer who repaired our Miele, he said that the Miele does not work on thick carpets. It gets clogged and does not suck. We had to go to floor setting. I do not recommend on thicker carpets. It does not suck!!!!

It shoots out room temp air. It's just a high power fan. I cleaned my carpets last week, and they were dry in about an hour. I bought mine because I saw them using these fans at our fine arts auditorium downtown, and couldn't believe how much air they put out. Love it!

They do continue to blow air out. It is a relatively low volume of air, so it is fairly quiet. Mine has worked very well for my heavy off road motorcycle boots. Dries them out over night without overheating the material.

you've got a clogged A/C Condensate Drain Pipe.... if it is NOT clogged you would see water dripping out of the carif the AC is on and the air is humid. It it's Clogged... it drains in fills up the a/c box and likely will overflow onto your carpet.

I only have floor vents, I would imagine it depends on the size of your wall vents. They work great though!

I'm guessing you don't mean that it would leak. You're concerned about the damp air condensing on the carpet. Good point. I have a nice drip pan to catch nearby condensation.

I have had no trouble getting the rugs to dry and I have several of them. My machine just has a spin cycle so if I think there is more water in them I just spin them an extra time and then I pop them into our dyer on an air only cycle for an hour and they come out dry.

The warm air does blow out from under the unit. I would be a little worried putting this on carpet to be honest. The upper part and front do stay cool. I am always making sure though, that there is nothing near or under it when it is running. It will heat a room very nicely!

they both blow air. It will work better if you cover the other vents with another pair of shoes. Also, during the winter I would keep it inside the house instead of the garage.

Clean as best as you can while wet and the rest will have to wear off. There might be a chemical solution bit it could ruin your carpet.

My first suggestion would be to go with one of their more powerful models, but if you don't want to spend more, I would say that this will bring it down a few notches, but the larger the space, the more dilute it's effects will be. It will still pull the moisture out, but it may not be powerful enough to bring it down more than a few %. And it's also going to depend on air circulation. If the air doesn't circulate, it will bring it down in the area where it's located, but not in the entire space.

I keep it on the edge of the piece of furniture and it blows the mist away from it. I have carpeting in the room and i've never had it damp. One time I was very congested however, I did place it close to my bed and the bed was slightly damp. I guess it's a question of how much empty space is around the unit. Also, you can regulate the amount of mist the unit emits and I usually have it on full blast.

They suck. In addition, they will stain ANY surface they touch. I learned this the hard way and had to hire carpet cleaners to remove the black magnet stains on my carpet. It was $50 per room, $300 total. An easier thing to do is to remove the vent and then wrap the bottom of it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. And then, close the louvers facing the top. That will keep most of the air out.
