So this is the second one I’ve bought. The first one the base broke off from the unit so I wouldn’t use it bc it would tip and when it tipped it would turn off- but when it worked I loved it so much. The heat and air are topbottom and don’t come out from the same part. The remote needs to be pointing directly in front of the unit straight on to work. It isolates but I’d advise against it because it wears out the base.
