Have had it for a couple months, no problem. It gets used at least a couple times a day.

We change batteries probably once a month. Thats the only disappointing thing. Although they are supposed to be good for 3200 times, the motion sensors check you when you walk through the kitchen. I wish they would only come on when you were working at the countertop.

I haven't timed them. I use it for about 10 or 15 minutes per day, and I have to change the batteries on average once a month.

I wish I could answer your question. I only kept the machine for about a week. I did use it with the batteries for about 8 hours each night. As far as long term life of the batteries in the unit, I am not able to answer. Sorry, I am not much help.

You can preset it to run 1,2, or 3 hours, then stop automatically, or have it run without a timer. The packaging suggests you don't run it for more that ten hours at a time, but full it will run much longer than that.

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run

It's 120, so you'd need a converter. It also runs on batteries but I've never tried running one exclusively on batteries. I originally used the battery option as a backup in case there's a power outage, but then realized that it's pretty unusual for a power outage to last more than a short period of time so there's not much point unless you just don't want to plug it in.This is my third littermaid to own. The first two lasted me 11 years in total.

It only uses batteries. I have used mine for about 10 hours without the need to change batteries

To answer your question, yes, it can run solely on battery power for at least a handful of hours if it's completely charged prior to use. The company recommends a full 24-hour charge before using it for a prolonged period of time, whether it's plugged in or not. If you're just using it for an hour or two, it's fine to keep unplugged, but any longer than that, and I'd say plug it in.

From previous experience I had to change mine every 12 months. The nice feature about these units is that you can change the batterywithout taking the unit down from the ceiling. The little pop open door on the face makes changing batteries a snap !

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully charged battery on hand just in case.

It runs off of batteries. The batteries last a really long time. We havent changed the batteries on over a month!

Sorry I can't answer that question. I always have it plugged in and do not rely on batteries.
