Are you able to access the fan blades for cleaning and is cleaning the interior housing relatively easy?

I will tell you that, to me, I do not find the task very easy, but this is just my opinion. On the back of each individual fan grill, you will notice that on the back, you will see 4 small screws inside the back of both fan grills. I would suggest you use a flashlight to find the screws. You must unscrew all four screws to be able to take the grills apart for cleaning, and then you must screw them back in, again, to secure both grills before using the fans. I will say that this fan is a great buy, but you would have to decide if you would want to unscrew the grills for cleaning. Hope this helps you make your decision.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

Yep. All the fans are replaceable. If you don't like red, you can even have the LED for the front panel not turn on (it's only in red however, no way to change the color).

Yes, seems very easy to clean. As easy as can be for any fan with a brush or good vacuum. Have been very happy with this fan. And it has a good strong blow when turned up. Enjoy.

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.

If you build it by directions, there is one screw on the side when removed allows access for cleaning. It's easy.

It is easy to clean even though the blades and plastic top unit are one piece. I hope this helps! It is a very nice unit. It is powerful.

I have never found a way to easily disassemble this unit in front. It was obviously made to keep the consumer out. Of course, not being able to properly clean the fan will shorten the life of the unit... gee, I wonder if Holmes thought of that... duh. Anyway, the best you can do is hold a vacuum cleaner hose up against the grill and suck out as much dirt as possible - which is what we do with them occasionally. Good luck with it.

I dont take mine apart. Rather, I use a duster to dust the inside of the fan.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with dirt buildup yet, but a can of compressed air would easily clean out the fan areas. So far all I've needed to do is wipe down the outside for the little bit of dust that has gotten on it, and I've had it for several months and use it on a constant basis.

The back of the unit has a snap out panel, the fans are attached to it and it allows full access to the fans. One does have to be careful not to pull on the electrical wireing. Easy cleaning.

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

It is relatively easy to clean. I use the brush to brush away the hairs, then I hold the heads under running water. You can NOT place the unit under water. I then run the razor upside down over the sink and let the remains run out. Then I wipe it dry. It is important to clean after each use or the machine will catch and pull. I know!

Yes, but I clean it weekly, as having pets does sometimes tend to cause the grating to collect hair and dust. All I use is a simple 2" wide paint brush, and clean the grate that way. and then if needed, I use either a vacuum cleaner, or a can of compressed air to clean the inner parts of the fan (the blades).
