can the fan be taken down easily for cleaning?

Yes, it an easily be taken down for cleaning. A metal mounting goes on the wall and you slip the fan on mounting and simply lift upwards to take it off. Hope this helps.

It can be easily taken off the wall, it slides on and off of a metal hook thing that is screwed onto the wall. however for a thorough cleaning it takes a little effort to take it apart and then put it back together, but I have done it

The fan slides onto a metal mount and is easily removed. This was a great buy for me

Yes. A flat hook that comes with the fan that is mounted to the wall first. The body of the fan (motor compartment) slips down onto the hook. This fan to hook connection is well hidden when the fan is put into place. All you need to do is unplug the fan and lift the fan up and off the hook. This is a very good fan unit. My daughter is using it in her college dorm.

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.

We haven't done this, but there are screws on the back that look like you can take it apart. It is a terrific fan - quiety and powerful. After getting one for ourselves, we bought one for our daughter.

No. You could replace old fans with new fans or simply clean the fans periodically.

There is only one center cap screw that holds the shade in place so taking it down should be easy for cleaning. Havent had mine long enough to have to clean it yet but I think it should be vacuumed also.

Yes. I like how it can be tipped up or down. There are 3 fan speed settings. It is not as quiet as advertised. I only use it on the lowest setting due to the noise.

I find it to be easy to clean. The face comes off with 3 phillips screws then it just wipes down the same as any other fan.

Easy to clean. I think you could put a filter in, there's room. However I don'tknow how a filter will effect performance. I can say this fan is called Whisper! It is noisy!!

I guess you could remove it, but then, you would only have the wall switch to turn on both fan and light. I assume that you might want the light at times when you didn't want the fan. And, what about the pull for turning on/off the fan - that hangs down also.

We own three of these fans and yes, you can clean the inside. There is a small screw at the base of the band that holds the "cage" together. Just remove the screw and the blades can be wiped down. Excellent fan.

Yepper! The whole fan comes apart and reassembles very easily. It's a 'breeze' to clean. And it sure does fan! I really like it.

When the fan is off you simply use a damp rag. If the area you are cooling is dusty it will blow dust, but any fan would do that.

Anything with wires that runs by batteries, is not that easy to clean. You just have to use a lightly damp cloth and wipe around the fan and blade and protective screen without hitting the wires. It just gets a little dust oer a period of 3 to 4 months. It's a really great little fan and works well.

I believe you should be able to. All I needed to do was unplug the fan and remove one screw and the fan/wheel unit was removed. A real easy procedure.

I have used this type of fan for years. And yes you can take it apart by taking out some screws on both sides, but i like to just spray it down with the garden hose and then let it dry for the day.

Find a fan which can be cleaned. Honeywell's fan is a damn nuisance. There are NO screws anywhere on the back front, up or down. These need a flame thrower, that'll do it!

Either way is ok.For its size, the fan is not very powerful for either purpose of yours.
