How easy is this to clean? I've tried 5 other types of fountains and all of them were a trial to clean.

It takes me about 3-4 minutes to disassemble, clean with a long handled brush made for cleaning drinking glasses, reassemble and fill.

If you have the extra reservare you have to wait till it is empty before you can clean it. Other than that it is not bad.

We've got and have tried others as well, the large tank is very easy, and you can pull it off to fill easliy. the fountain it'self doesn't have lots of corners like some do making it easier to clean than the drinkwell brand that I have. I just wish for this one and the drinkwell they'd allow room around the pumps like they do the 360 to put a filter around to keep the pump cleaner

I have used mine several times & I only have to wash the basin with soap & water. I use a brush to wash around the filter & it comes out very clean . Hope this helps.

water reservoir is very easy to clean and I would recommend to clean it weekly because you can see white stuff at the bottom. the lid has the motor so you just lift that up and clean the bottom post. the discs are also detachable and you disassemble them to clean individually.

It is very easy to clean, but we do have a large sink in our basement that we use. I also bought the cleaning brushes that makes the job very easy. It is much easier to clean than the drink well platinum that we had before.

It appears to be fairly easy to clean, the top is called a "brushed suede like fabric" it seems like microfiber, warm soapy water on a wash cloth looks like it will handle most things on it. We've only used it once so far and it didn't really get that dirty, but it seems like it would be very easy to clean. If you spray it with silicon water proofing before your first use it will be very easy to clean.

yeah it's pretty easy to clean, very actually. Just about any cleaner will do. I always just used a bit of diluted dish soap and water, or for lighter spills just a wet towel works.

I have this fountain for my cats and love it . I have two cats and I found that when I would change the filter every month the filter would be DISGUSTING. It was slimy and almost like it had a slimy mold/moss growing on the filter (the debris it collected even seemed slightly green-tinted). I've always used my Britta filtered water in this so I decided to give it a try without the filter and it works perfectly fine. I change the water weekly and there are no issues. I feel like because this design is so low to the grown and large a lot of dust/dirt/debris from the floor plus cat fur and cat spit ends up in it so I'm happy replacing their water every week. Also, I'd never want to drink water that old. I have this fountain for my cats and love it .

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.

The reservoirs are real easy to clean. In fact the entire unit is very easy to clean. Of course because of my well water I use only bottled water to keep the build up off. I have certainly enjoyed the ease of cleaning this unit. I have measured the openings but I can get my entire hand and arm all the way to the bottom of the container.

I feel that it is fairly easy - I use my bottle for water only. What I normally do is put a little dish soap in it and rinse it with hot faucet water. I currently do not have the brush you can purchase to clean it. That might be a better solution to what I am doing currently, but I have had my bottle for about 4 months now and there is no mildew growing and I can get the bottle clean with my method.

Yes, it is easy to clean. The base (where it sits) is plastic and can be easily rinsed.

Use clean water. It doesn't get gross. Had ours for years, very easy to clean.

The Drinkwell 360 Stainless Steel is actually a lot easier to clean than the other fountains we have had. The only thing you really have to be careful of is cleaning the motor once in a while since cat hair does seem to clog it after a while.

I thought it was relatively easy. You will want to soak the unit in soapy water for a good few hours to get the new apoxy type smell off of it. I have used it awhile now and it is relatively easy to clean. The one complaint I have is that the water fall is enough that it splatters outside of the bottom and leaves calcium deposit over time. The splash is so minimal that you don't even realize that you need to wipe up water.

Its easy to clean. Empty out any water after each use and remove the lid to air dry. For the outside, I just wash with warm soapy water and rinse. We don't have hard water deposits here so just a quick rinse with hot water inside the kettle every so often (then dry with a towel) works for me! Love this kettle!

you will work yourself to death keeping it clean. Filter system will have to be cleaned daily. This is geared to a small inside dog or cat. I have 2 large inside dogs and I grew sick of cleaning filters and now I just use bowl (threw away fountain part)and empty it twice daily and fill with fresh water. The bowl is pretty nice, but fountain is a pain.

I've found it very easy to clean. I use a bottle brush, works like a charm.
