You shouldn't feel much air. If it's blowing out and flickering a lot I'd bet it's because your flow is too high. Try stepping back like a foot and testing the lighter from there, if it's a lot more stable from further away then you know the fan's too high. Had a similar conundrum when I first got mine.

Well here one problem might be. This arrow is facing the wrong direction like they put their own filter on backwards. Should I flip it or assume the sticker is wrong?

It's making a lot of noises I dont think it should be. Sounds like something is rattling around really badly... I think I'm going to have to return it

Mine is faced backwards. It's a noisy unit but it doesnt rattle.
What are you using to lift the unit off its brackets?

So dont worry about flipping it then?

I take that back. On low it does nothing on the right side and seems good in the center and then lots more air coming from the left side than the right or middle. the further left you go the stronger the airflow is

If I just leave a blank agar plate open in front of it for 10 mins is that a good test to see if its working?

No I think you should use it first.
Dont use the packing material to lift it up. It needs something a bit more sturdy and use a stable level surface.
If I figured it out all on my own so can you. Or its defective because its chinese

Pretty much. Although mine passes a lighter test all over if you are having irregular flow it might be wonky but I would have no clue why.

So I flipped the filter so the arrow is pointing the right way but all that did was flip where the spot of air is coming from. Now it's the bottom left. Theres one little spot where the air is blowing a lot harder than the rest. It blows the lighter right out but only in the bottom left. I can feel air coming from the spot too.

So I flipped the filter 90degrees so the sticker is on the side facing out. I think it's actually working better now. The rattling has slowed down significantly but there is still a small spot on the upper right hand corner now that blows harder than the rest. This is the lighter test now:

This is on the lowest setting. So the 4th pic is the farthest left side where there certainly seems to be less flow. Would that be a failed lighter test? Does it need to go fully 90degrees? And the 5th pic shows the small spot that blows harder than the rest. Still seems the farther you go to the right the flow is a little better than the furthest left. The middle seems perfect though.
Is this worth trying for a few days or put er back in the box for a refund?
