Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with your unit. This model was designed to vent through the top to preserve the high CFM of the motors as redirecting it to vent through the front would greatly reduce the performance. We do appreciate your feedback about this matter and will take this in consideration as we keep on making improvements to our products. If you need further assistance, please contact us directly at 888-784-3108 and we'd be more than happy to help you out.
