How often to replace is a function of air quality. THey need to be periodically checked for mold or dirt then you will know when to replace.

I replace mine about once a month when using the machine. The only reason I can see to replace is that mine get hard water deposits and no longer wick the moisture properly. You may not need to change them as often although eventually they will kind of break down. I am not sure how often the manufacturer recommends replacement. Hope this helps.

I change when I start using them when the house starts to dry out, the reason to change them is because they will start getting mold/mildew on them and start to stink.

I just keep an eye on it and if it starts to get mold (black spots) that's when I change it.

Yes, the two wicks are fragile and periodically require replacement, a quick and easy task.

You can use as often as you wish. It keeps the paraffin at the correct temperature for use. Unplug if you don't want to maintain it constantly. Just remember that when you unplug, the paraffin returns to a solid form. You would have to plug in again and allow time for the paraffin to liquefy again.

Take the housing (shell) off. The wick simply skids off and the new one goes on like a sock. The old one will be a little messy so have a hand wipe nearby. Be very careful as the metal edges are all sharp!

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.

Yes! I don't know their longevity? If it comes time to replace one , I'm sure you will see "tell-tale " signs that it's appearance has changed enough to warrant replacement. I don't use them on a daily basis, just 2-3 times a week. I personally feel they are excellent. Compare them to others, watch " U-Tube", you will get the idea quickly.

Couple months, depending upon your dust levels in your house. I replace it when it starts to look gray from dust. You cna go pretty long just know that the longer you leave it, and the lighter it gets, the less efficient it becomes.

Easy! Just lift the main unit off the base and the base unit is exposed for easy cleaning. Just lift the cage out off the base that contains the wick and go for it. The instructions recommend weekly cleaning and sterilizing. Two of the 3 units I have purchased this season have reached 750 hours of operation when "CF" check filter) appears on the readout. I opened both units and determined that there was no reason to do a deep cleaning at that time. I add a few caps full of bacteriostat to every other filling to keep mold and mildew out of the unit. If you have hard water, the wicks will harden with mineral deposits quickly and will need to be replaced. I have hard water and have not yet felt it necessary to replace these wicks. They are fairly cheap at around $13 each (1 per unit). I am hoping to get a full season out a wick. Hope this helps.

The owner's manual says replace every year for heavy use, every 2 years for normal use and every three years for light use. I use it only at night as opposed to the recommended constant 24 hour condinuous use, so I think I probably waited 4 years, which was much too long as it was really dirty.

I change mine every 2 to three months. Look at the filter opening,gaze inside see if it is discolored or full of dust or hair .. If it is you are due.Also if the filter grill is full of dust, the inside is going to contaminated.Keep dust down around the humidifier as it will suck it in like a vaccum cleaner. I never try to clean a filter. At 5 bucks from lasco its not worth the bother.If you do try to clean it ,it may fall apart or distort. Keep the plastic holders that are around the filter as these will not come with the new filter..

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.
