can you get your hand inside the water container to clean it?

Yes, the hole is approximately 4 inches wide when you open the lid. Plenty of room to put your hand in to clean it. I wash it in my tub because it is so big but that is ok as it fits my needs.

I don't think so. the hole where water comes out is about the size of a Mayo jar opening if that makes sense. I haven't cleaned ours yet.

The lid comes off and there is plenty of room to put your hand inside to clean the container.

yes, the tank lifts off, there is a flap to hold any water insidethen you can unscrew the lid like a biscuit barrell and cleanall works fineregards terry ross

No. When you pick the container up the water goes back down into the container. It does not spill out.

Yes you can open with one hand, and the smell is contained as long as its not overflowing and has a slight gap. I am very happy with it. The lid can be removed for cleaning and emptying the compost.

Twist the cap off and you can stick your hand in there with a paper towel or a kitchen sponge wand. The only hard part is getting the handle part clean. If you don't leave old water sitting in it, it won't get gross. I dump, rinse, and re-fill mine every few days. (we use it daily) You can always put a water/vinegar solution in there and swish it around to clean. If you don't use it daily, make sure to rinse it out and dry it before storing it and you shouldn't have any issues.

I highly doubt it. It's not that hard to hand wash it though, you mainly just need to get the salt off it. I would suggest rinsing it right away after using it. It makes cleanup pretty easy.

No. A hand will not fit inside, unless you are planning to have your 2 year old clean it for you. The opening, however, is wide enough to make it very easy to clean.

That's a good question...I've never cleaned the inside. The lid is large enough that unless your hand is really large, you should be able to maneuver a cloth inside and use a standard dish soap if you needed to clean it. I suppose if you had a lot of buildup because of water quality, you could just soak with vinegar, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Or use any other calcium or lime cleaner made for metal. Hope this helps...

You can, but the pik is so hard to remove that I, with arthritis in my hands, can hardly remove it, so I leave it open and have a paper towel that I draped over the top of the reservoir wet and when it dries, it shapes to the top and dust/debris can't get in. I wish the pic came out easier - but we do what we have to do to make things work.

Yes, there is a valve inside that attaches to the underside of the lid. We throw ours in the diswasher each night and that makes them a synch to clean. Even if we were to hand wash, it's still worth the slight bit of aggrevation to clean it. It simply does not leak.

You can remove the bite valve, and its tough to get inside of it to clean. I use a q-tip. You cannot just use the straw.

My hand does not reach inside since opening is small. If you have slim hand it can be done. You might want to use long handled brush to clean inside kettle.

I do not believe it is made to open. There are metal tabs which hold the metal part to the plastic part and if you bent those, you could probably open it, but I am not recommending that; it may break. My whole hand fits into it and being so open and plastic. I do not think it would be hard to clean at all. Just hose it out or run it under the faucet.

Try putting some water in it or take the top off and gloop some into your hand. :)

Yes, but that is not preferred method to clean it. I find it best to hand wash it

I dont leave mine in, but yes it says you can because of the timer, I just try to clean mine after every use.

I have a fairly small hand, so I can get my hand inside to wash the the container completely. I also use filtered water so I am not having problems with mineral deposits. I usually just dry the interior about 1 a week with a soft cloth, and the glass looks like new.
