Where do you have your Purifier?

Anyone that has had a Purifier for a while may have their own tips and tricks for getting the best out of their machine.The best place in the room to ensure the cool or hot air reaches them, where the Purification/Humidification really makes a difference in the home or simply how they make sure their feet stay cool on those warm nights. This topics all about that :)I’ll go first...My home office, which is really a converted bedroom is pretty small, but it also faces the setting sun in the evening. Meaning it gets pretty warm.

Anyone else have any tips for dealing with the heat?
