Quick question before I decide. The CoolCove looks like it can go on a wall or a table, but does it have to stay upright? I want to lay it on its side on a shelf, but I don’t want to break it or have it not work right. Just wondering if that’s a problem or if it’s fine either way.

Laying it on its side on a shelf seems like asking for trouble with how the heat comes out. I’d just mount it on the wall where it’s meant to go instead of fiddling with a sideways setup.

Mine sits sideways on a bookshelf and it runs exactly the same as when it was standing up. The airflow doesn’t care which way the box is turned, so laying it down hasn’t caused any issues for me.

I’d stick with the intended orientation personally. A friend of mine had hers tipped over for a while and said the heating side felt off, like it wasn’t pushing air the same way. Might just have been her unit though.

Mine ended up sideways for a couple weeks after I ran out of shelf space, and it still pushed out heat fine. The remote signal got noticeably worse though, so I flipped it back. If you’re using the remote a lot, that’s the part I’d actually check.

Skeptical that laying it sideways is fine long term. The vents are set up for one direction, so even if it turns on you’re probably losing some heat or cool air into the shelf. I’d just wall mount it and be done.
