Can this unit remain on 24-7. I plan to place it on what had been an umbrella table in my bath.

Pretty sure there is a standby mode (warm) but I believe it's recommended to turn it off if you are not going to use it for an extended length of time.

You could, if you wanted to. It has a standby mode where it will stay on but not at full heat. It is intended to be used that way in salons, so that when they arrive in the morning, they can heat the wax up to therapeutic temperatures more quickly. If turned off, the wax will cool back to solid form, I believe the standby mode keeps it just warm enough to keep it liquid.

I wouldn't put the unit out in the direct sun, but if you kept it on the patio but in the shade and slightly above the ground I would think it would be okay. Also getting the unit wet would not a be a good idea hence my idea of getting it off the ground.

A simple timer will remember to turn it off. Or they sell a 24/7 type of timer that is programable so you can have it automatically turn on and off but if you shower at different times of the day it might not be worth it's cost.

No. Have had mine in last summer and this summer without a change. It is on 24 hours a day as well.

I wouldn't leave it on for 6 days unless you have a real problem with oder. If you have a timer, you may think about letting it run for 10 or 12 hours. This unit is real strong.

I would not recommend leaving it on. Towels do dry out overnight, I have experienced this when I accidently left it on when working at spas. Then you can risk fire if they get too dried out. Plus you will shorten the life of the unit. It hears up in about 15 minutes with warm towels to start and if you use ice cold water to wet your towels give it 30 minutes tops.

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.

Yes, if you put it in the "ON" position it will stay on all the time. I leave it in the "ON" position and have it hooked up to a timer plugged into the wall.

Our bath is slightly larger and I find that it doesn't come on automatically very often. There has to be airflow across the sensor or lots is moisture. The timer works very well, so we just turn it on before showering.

We've left ours on for a month with no problems. It is thermostatically controlled so it seems easier to keep it on all the time than start from scratch every time we want to use it (the wax does harden when the unit is off).

This is not professional quality bath, so I suspect it won't last long if you leave it on for prolonged periods of time. Otherwise salons would be buying this stuff instead off the ones that cost hundreds of dollars... The max I've had it on was 4 hours.

I run the unit 24/7. That is what is recommended in the owners manual. The unit has a very low power consumption and I would like to get the maximum benefit possible. It is small and therefore portable,so it can be rotated room to room.

I've left ours on since it arrived a few weeks ago. It has a timer you can activate but by default it will stay on indefinitely.

It is possible to leave it on 24/7. The only disadvantage would be a higher power bill as it would continuously draw power. I usually turn it off at night though.

Yes. There's a "power on" setting unrelated to the timer, so you can keep it on continuously.
