How many hours will this run before needing cleaning?

I have been running this unit almost nightly for a few weeks. Haven't cleaned yet. They recommend not letting water/oil sit in unit while not in use. I am careful to let it run until it turns off, then dispose of small amount of water left and thoroughly wipe out with soft cloth.

The diffuser should work for approx 10 hours before it will be empty, but there's no exact science to it, all depends on the water, oil and humidity quality in the room, roughly it will last all night long plus some more.Preferably you should empty the remaining water and wipe clean with a soft cloth, this is optional but recommended, the better the take care of your diffuser, the longer it will last, oil and water deposits can build up with time and proper cleaning will keep it in good shape.Thank You

Yes, it is suppose to run for around 8 hours depending on the tempature of the water. Make sure you have not over filled the unit. Also make sure water does not get into the air vent on the side.

I suppose you could leave it on 24/7 but I see no need to. It has up to eight hour increments so I would think that would be plenty if you gave it a rest in between. However, I doubt that it would hurt it. I let it run most of the time but if no one is going to be in there I see no need. I guess the best bet would be to contact Oreck but I am certainly pleased with the purifier and will be getting a larger one for our living area later.

it take time to do it in regards to cleaning it maybe under 15 minutes total of work aside from cleaning it. I have yet to replace mine but it should take the same amount of time.

I ran it for 3 hours in 1 day. I have a 3100psi washer with a cat pump. So far, it has functioned flawlessly.

My vac runs for 10-12 minutes. If I forget to plug it back in, it will not have any charge. I still like my little vac, because it does what I want, quick pickup in busy areas without dragging out the heavy house vac. I noticed there is a new cordless out with a much large battery. I would replace the battery, about $50.00.

Approximately 30 seconds. Keep pushing on the handle and this will start the release of steam. Fantastic way to clean.

Mine goes about 3 hours continuous use. It actually lasts longer than I expected!

There is a pre-filter that you have to change. There is an indicator to tell you when to change filters. How often depends on what setting you run. I run mine at medium 24/7, high for 1 hour after vacuuming. I change filters about every1 1/2 - 2 months. They're not expensive.

I have run it continuously for over half an hour without it heating up while vacuuming pellet stove ash. It should run for quite awhile as long as the filter does not clog up too badly. The primary filter is also washable if necessary. I bought a different brand locally when the place where bought my first one (still works great, just needed a second one for my pellet fired boiler) quit selling these, and it was completely inferior and overheated after 5 minutes.

I run it overnight - I would estimate it runs about 6-7 hours on the continuous setting and longer on the interval setting.

Approx. every six to eight months, running it 8 hours a day in my bedroom. I live in the southwest, in a dry dusty environment, so it would probably last longer under less severe conditions. Also, I must clean the pre-filter at least once a week.

I run mine 24/7. I just turn it off to clean it, then turn it back on again.

I just cleaned my wood floor - about 450 sq. ft. The machine was set at 50% steam power. It took about 30 to 45 minutes to clean and the tank was still half full.

Around 15 minutes of vacuuming fun! We have 3 dogs, 2 cats & a 2600 square foot home. I have found that 15 minutes is more than enough time to vacuum those spots that need it the most.

Instructions are provided on the bottle, and they do vary according to model. Broadly speaking: you would allow it to cool, drain any remaining water from the steamer, pour in a full bottle of cleaner letting it soak for 2-3 hours, then flush thoroughly with water.
