I have the Micra Mist2000, but I think it is the same as this one.
I had bought a Micra Mist2000 5 years ago and have used it with extra virgin olive oil only. I have never cleaned it, just wiped with paper towel after usage. I've even dropped it from the stove top a few times, and it just keeps going and going!
It's only requirements are to fill it no more than 3/4 full and no more than 10 pumps when it's 3/4 full. With 10 pumps this gives a fine mist spray. The mist is so fine that you should not breathe in as you might inhale the mist of olive oil that is floating in the air a side effect of having a good oil mist.
As to the number of pumps the number of pumps depends on the amount of oil that is in the can. As the oil is depleted from the can, more than 10 pumps might be required. Test with the cap, if you try to put the cap on and it won't go all the way down, then you will not need to pump anymore. If the cap easily slides down, then you need to pump some more.
I'm planning to buy another one to test whether I could fill it with paint to use for my artwork :) If this works, then I will come back and give it 5 stars!

Years ago I had bought this in Ikea, brought it home, filled it with oil, and it didn't work. So I put it in a cupboard, and forgot about it. Today I was cleaning, found it, and was determined to see what had been wrong. So I read some reviews on Amazon for any insight. And.....it works! Great! Here were the key issues:1)only fill it with 3/4 of oil. It needs air (that you pump in) to be able to work. Pressurized air is what makes the oil 'spray'.
2)There is a rubber ring, that comes as part of the assembly. This rubber ring had been inserted in the wrong place by the factory. There are two places the ring will fit. The first is just under the white cap that screws to the place you pour in oil. Do not put the ring there (that's where it initially was).
The other place is between the plastic spray assembly and the stainless steel bottle (where the oil is poured in). This seals the oil and water inside, and allows the pressure to build up. With this inserted in the wrong place, the unit will not pressurize.
After I did these two things, and then pumped it up a half-dozen times, the unit works great! :-) Wish I'd remembered it was in the back of my cupboard and done this a long time ago....
