How long does the 80 ml of water last? Or how long will the unit run before it needs refilled? thanks!

It usually lasts between 3-4 hours but the aroma strength decreases considerably with time. The first hour or so is very noticeable but it gradually emits less aroma the longer in operation.

About four to five hours. Also, the scent is stronger when it first runs and then less so as time goes on.

The potency of the scent over time will have more to do with the oils used than the diffuser itself. Some oils simply do not last long for aromatherapy. Typically these are top and middle notes. Base Notes will last much longer either by themselves or combined with top or middle notes. The quality and concentration of the oil is also relevant to this. Is it a pure oil or is it blended with a carrier oil? How are the oils extracted? It also cannot be discounted that the longer you are exposed to the scent, the less potent the aroma will seem to be.

I just received this diffuser yesterday and I've timed it each time I used it. It lasts only three hours, so I don't know how others are getting 4-5 hours use from it. I followed directions to the letter too. Disappointed it doesn't last longer and will look for a different one next time.

I've never timed it, but I know that when it's full, it lasts for hours, maybe 4 or 5.

Hi Julie, the water base is very small on this unit. Maybe about the size of a dixie cup. If you run the mist on full power, the water will be gone in 15-20 minutes. If you run the mist on medium, it will last about 1.5 hours. If you run on low, it will last about 3 hours.

Usually only a few seconds. Make sure you didn't fill it too high. Mine would not produce a mist when I filled it over the line a little.

Slightly less than 1 cup. That lasts around 2 hours+ before you have to refill it.

I guess I just learned that I should have used distilled water. Mine's clogged from using cold tap water, but I had it for over 10 years. (I think mine was the first model. I remembered that I ordered it from one of those commercials). But it does still work for the first 15 mins, than the reset button constantly lights on.

For me has lasted all night, I haven't let it run more that 8 hours, but it's lasted at least until then. The water was about 1/4 full after that time, so I'm assuming it can run close to 10 hours.

Not very long - maybe 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all - I have to empty out the water and refill it before it will work. These are NOT worth the money.

Not too slow. Have no problem with refill time. 5 minutes or so it you are empty. Water tastes great.

The steam stays on until you've run out of water. I haven't timed it but it is a reasonable amount of time. When you refill it is only a matter of seconds before you can continue.

We pour the unused fluid back into the jug, and then put water into the machine and run it with water in it to help rinse everything out, including the wands. When we put fluid into the machine, it is normally in it for 6-7 hours, then clean it as we said. (we actually run it on and off for about 30 minutes total)

I have purchased two of these. One I had for 12 months and the other one is 14 months old and still working great. If you want this one to last, my suggestion to you is not to let it run out of water. I know they say it has an automatic shut off when the water gets real low. but that is what happened to mine and it didn't shut off and the gasket seal was ruined. So if you don't let it run dry, I think it will last a very long time (make sure you keep it clean, too; the unit is very easy to clean which is another plus perk. Hope this helps.

To tell you the truth, I never finished it. I use it in the office. It runs for about 8hrs or less then I take it apart when I leave. I think it depends on how big of a water bottle you use. It hasn't broken down on me yet. So it's been good so far.

The tank is 500 ml. I have loved my diffuser. I have had it about a month. I took it on vacation with me and noticed that in different places with different humidity and different water composition the hours of tank life varied. At home the unit will run all night plus. In some places it didn't last quite as long. The capacity is 500 ml though no matter where you go.

I don't run mine all the time so I don't have good detailed information. The setting for 'warm' or 'cool' has some effect on how long the water lasts. I am very satisfied with the unit.There are also 3 settings, "low", "medium" & "high" which will also affect the length of time that the water lasts. sorry, but I have not measured my unit under all of these different conditions, so I can't say how long it will run.

Maybe 15-20 minutes?? Not long. And I love the unit because the water stays really hot.

It's at least 1 gallon and I fill it in the mornings and it still has some left. I run on Medium or High. That's a good thing for me. Don't even turn it off when I refill.

It holds 1.2 gallons. I assume the 80 hours is for the lowest and coolest setting. At full blast, it lasts 24 hours. I haven't seen any white dust or uptick in my electric bill (since there aren't any filters to replace), but I think any product like this only works as well as the water you put into it. Our tap water is fairly neutral (not too hard or soft).
