How often does it need to be cleaned out?

It varies. I guess it's according to how often you use the dryer and the type of clothing you are drying.

We clean the system at least every third time we use it. Does not go a week and is very fussy.

I have only had mine 6 months, but after reading a lot online the recommended is once a year. Also if the water slows going through filter scrubbing with a soft scouring pad will help, but so far I haven't had to do that.

If you want your system cleaned out, start off using it every other day for a month or 2. Then once or twice a week.

We've had it for quite some time now and have had no need to do any major cleaning. Just use good quality oils and you'll be okay.

Depends how often you use it. If daily, I'd say once a month would be plenty. I just use warm soapy dish water with a soft brush to clean mine. Rinse off with water and make sure they're completely dry before re-installing and using them in the unit. I've owned several more costly units throughout the years, and this one is the most dependable unit I've owned. It's nothing fancy, no nice wood cabinet etc., but it's a great price and does the job. More than happy with mine... I highly recommend it. I also turned several family members on to this unit.

I clean mine weekly. I shut it off,quik scrub with a brush, put it back it. I did let it go 2 weeks while I was away and it was still pumping strong. Hope this helps

It really does depend on your circumstances. Anywhere from once a month to once every six months or so. My personal method of checking it is to take it outside and smell it. If you can smell the odors you are trying to get rid of, recharge it.

Rinse out after use and clean with soap and water every few days. Ours has been used for over 6 months and looks brand new.

We clean ours about every 2 weeks. Although we do use our own media so cleaning amounts may vary.

I probably wash it more than I need to. I do three rooms. I just like it clean each time to start over.

I usually clean ir about once every week and a half. I usually just rinse out the bottle and then refill as needed, maybe once a week.

I am not certain, but I have used it before and replace it once a year. It did not seem overly dirty when I replaced and probably could have stretched the use even longer.

I clean it at least twice a week, he is only in the cage for a no more than 2 hrs so no need to do it more.

I don't know not know how many times in total, but according to the times I'd say clean it about 15 or 20 times

I leave mine on and in full time. I do take it out, turn off and clean weekly. In addition I take it out for the winter and store.
