Does the back of this hair dryer come off so you can clean the fan?

No the back does not come off. I have had this for over 2 years and love it. There is a fan button on the back of mine that increases the flow of air.

NO !! and it sucks in your hair - that's why the motor burns up - it lasted all of 2 months before it burned out, which is a fire hazard.

No it does not. That would catch air born debris which would mean you would have to pull it out a clean it. It is not designed to be removed. I added a grease trap screen at the intake side to keep the blower clean.

I don't believe so. I think it's an extension of the rotating motor, so when its on the fan is on.

No. Use a hair dryer when you want to get rid of it and it should peel right off.

I took mine apart to clean, which is not that difficult, but does take 10 or so minutes the first time. To reassemble I simply left out all the screws holding the two halves of the fan together in the back, and have it kept together by the large plastic screw on knobs on the side. Works fine and makes cleaning easier the next time you need to do it. Take the knobs off, pull the plastic dealie off the top, and the fan comes straight apart. The blade comes off if you give it a gentle but FIRM pull with both hands from the center of the blade at the shaft - it's held on by friction. I am speaking of the Lasko 330 "Wind Machine" however. I have two of them, and do they ever kick up some breeze. No real need for AC. I took mine apart to clean, which is not that difficult, but does take 10 or so minutes the first time.

yes. btw the dryer includes a diffuser that broke when I tried to attach it so it didn't work with that attachment but otherwise a good hair dryer.

No, it has groves and screws off the end, giving it ease in cleaning. Hope this helps.

No and I must warn that it makes any dryer you put it on very hot. I quit using it and wish I could return it.

Not that I have been able to figure out. Certainly not easily. I wish I could attach a photo to show the backside of the fan. In the back there are four accessible Philips head screws. There is, however, a 5th made inaccessible by the fold-up base. I cannot see a way to remove the hinged base. Even if you were to remove the base, the wiring from the charging port and battery compartment (in the base) of the fan might be damaged if the blade casing were removed. That said, the blades are thin and I have a total of 3 of these fans, one for over a year. I haven't yet had a real problem with dust buildup on the blades. I'm very happy with mine.

You might have an accumulation of hair on the rotating part of the hair dryer. Remove the brush to clean, and if this isn't sufficient, you might have to unscrew the top cover to be able to clear the hair off the blower. I do this occasionally with my wife's dryer and it does the trick.

Yes, there is a screw in the front where the front panel should come off for cleaning.
2034148
Yes. I had this same question and e-mailed the company. They said to remove the screws from the back and then pry the front and back apart with a screwdriver. Another person said his housecleaner said to just take the fan into the shower and hose it off from the front and that he has done this ever since. Just try not to get water on the motor, a little won't hurt but don't soak the motor. But that does not take care of the back of the blades. I have cats and the blades get really dirty with their hair and dander. Prying the font and back apart is a pain but it can be done and then you can reach the back of the blades too. I wish Lasko would eliminate this problem in their design because I think this is the best fan ever.

it should be attached. I recommend contacting the company because the whole head of the hair dryer was set in my package i just had to assemble the body and put it together

I actually have had my hair sucked in through the back of this dryer, but you just have to be careful not to let the back of the hair dryer touch your hair and it won't be an issue.

I believe that the cord is detachable at the fan. I'm unable to look at mine without removing a bunch of equipment.
170769
It is detachable. I've had no problem with mine. I really like my Rusk Speed Freak Hair Dryer.

Yes, it comes out nice from the washer and dryer. I love it, I have 3 of them.
