How easy is it to make sure the lid/top is really clean, with no trapped water inside?

I wash by hand. So I have not had that problem. I do not put in the dish washer.

We have only used it 3 times and have hand - washed it each time. We have not had any difficulty with trapped water.

I have had this for a few months with not a drop inside. I do not put in dishwasher at all or submerse very often. All it takes is a wipe with a rag to keep clean. Great carafe.

I just can say that my Oggi device is not useful to carry away to outside because its lid leaks.It leaked all over floor of my car.I am not sure all of the products having same problem. Hopefully I gave enough info about it.

Just like the Oxo, the lid is one piece that has many small areas to collect dirt. Dish soap and water is all I used to keep ours looking new. I would consider using a mild bleach solution.

Make sure the lid is snapped on tightly and it is fine. I used it once without the lid and it left a mess.

The inner stainless steel pot, silicone sealing ring, and anti-block shield are all dishwasher safe. Having said that, the inner pot comes clean very easily with just a little soaking - and I've only used the dishwasher once. The lid with sealing ring and anti-block shield will remain clean under most cases, and usually requires only a quick rinse under the tap. There is a lip around the body of the instant pot where the lid fits that can, on occasion get food trapped into, and this is a little more difficult to clean, though some wiping with a paper towel usually moves the food to an area that is accessible.

Before each use, I wipe it down with a dry paper towel (or two or three). The instructions are very explicit about not using any water. I think some of the internals may rust easily or something. No sign of rust on mine after 13 1/2 years. It will splatter some oil on the inside walls and look messy, so I will sometimes use a little glass cleaner. It does have an occasional spot of "buildup" in the kettle. Barely noticeable. I think of the kettle like a BBQ grill - it will never look as clean as it did when it was new, but that's just because it shows signs of use. Outside of the kettle, the machine still looks clean and good as new. Before each use, I wipe it down with a dry paper towel (or two or three).

It's easy to clean. I just run it to empty, then add some boiling water and run that thru. It's done.

Yes, very easy. I've had some coffee mugs that get all crusty under the lid. Doesn't happen with this one.

Fill with a little less water and make sure lid is properly seated and level.

In general, it is very easy to clean. Pop the top off, dump everything in the trash, and wipe it out. The only part that is sort of gross is the part under the water bottle. It gets sort of disgusting, but is still not difficult to clean - just sort of yuck.

Mine is the same as everyone else's! HeeHee! I'll just add a tip to use distilled water in it, so you don't get a buildup of stuff inside, because it's not terribly easy to clean. I have two, both are working great, and I would buy again.

As long as you keep it clean, should be no additional taste, unit has easy clean lid?

Yes it's easy to clean. The top can be taken apart easily and completely cleaned. No problem to reassemble it. I do it even while at work without taking much time.

It's really easy to maintain. Shut wat flow off and slowly remove top and just remove the trays and wipe off

They don't come w/ anything and I didn't notice any online. The lids come all the way off and they're really easy to clean. I rinse off anything that could make a mess before I throw it in there though so I don't encounter many messes.

just rinse it well when you empty it, DONT wait. then when its time to wash, put about 4 inches of hot water in it and add a small squirt of dish soap. screw on the lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds. rinse well and done. no stains, no leftover smell. i've had my pair for over 3 years. i use them for iced tea and iced coffee year round.

It's very easy to clean. I clean it with soap and water. The clear top part seems to get dirty easy. It's no problem to clean, and I just let it air dry.

it is very easy to clean and sanitize, a simple wipe down then a spritz of sanitizer, then another wipe down is my routine after about 10 trips to the grocery store. I haven't had it wet enough on the inside to say if it would leak or not.
