Is this tumbler easy to clean? I had a tumbler from Teavana and it was fabulous, but I could never get it totally clean because of all the parts.

The lids are easy to clean. The tumbler is narrow so a brush to get to the bottom is needed.

Yes it is, I clean it everyday with no problem. This one is easy to take apart and very sturdy.

It is fairly easy to clean because it has the ability to be taken apart as needed and all surfaces are right there without having to do any "pop this" or "twist this" mechanism. The threads on the cap can be easily cleaned, same with the cover, and the interior of the tumbler is stainless, so a simple bottle brush, or even your hand if small enough, can easily keep it very clean.

The inside of the lid is hard to clean. So, I put mine in the dishwasher. Eliminated the problem. Hubby loves the cup.

The mesh tea holder and lid can both go in the top shelf of the dishwasher, so are very easily cleaned. The carafe section, however, can only be wiped out with a damp rag but I've had mine for several months now and that hasn't really been an issue for me. As far as removing loose tea from the mesh, hold it upside down, give the side a tap and they fall right out!

I have two of these vacuum mugs (different sizes), one with each of the two coatings. Only had them a month, but I see no difference so far in terms of cleaning. I use them for water, tea, and protein drinks, and have had no issues with staining or cleaning. I do take apart the cover assembly weekly to make sure no crud buildup occurs there.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

Yes it is. But I wash by hand because I use it a couple of times per day. The glass is somewhat delicate. Found out the hard way not to let ice cubes drop into it too hard, or to stir hard with a metal spoon. But I love it anyway. That "sippy-cup" top is addictive and SO easy to drink out of.

I've never tried it but I don't recommend it. It will most likely make the media clump. The tumbler does a good job of cleaning without a sonic/wet cleaner needed.

Very easy to clean. I don't use the dishwasher because it doesn't recommend that but it's so easy to keep clean by hand that it's a non-issue. I even left tea in it overnight once and it cleaned up beautifully.

I've had mine for a few months and have run it through the dishwasher multiple times (I generally hand wash all of my dishes) and mine are still looking great! Youtube directions on how to clean the lid and it's actually super easy to take apart and rinse.

Well, that is a slight problem. I washed it off with very hot water at the end of each day. That mostly took care of it. I suppose that you could boil it every once in a while if you didn't think it was clean enough. The fact that it kept things warm for so long made it worth the extra cleaning for me. If you drink your beverage fairly quickly that wouldn't be such an advantage so you might want to pick a different cup. One tip - if you pre-warm the mug using hot water, the warmth of the beverage lasts even longer. I'm a slow drinker so I could put coffee in in the morning and still be drinking it at midnight and it was still warm enough to drink! Well, that is a slight problem.

It is never a good idea to complete immerse any thermos fully in water -because the bottom part might get water logged. All other answers here some correct, just don't let the very bottom sit in water. I think the inside and outside is easy to clean, the inside lid/seal will require more care as it is where bacteria will tend to form most. So far, I just use it for hot tea and just rinse the inside out with water and unscrew the inside lid and clean it well -haven't even used soap yet but should as soon as I get a bottle brush.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I just use dishwashing detergent and a washtowel. I only use it for water, so it's always easy to clean.

I found it extremely easy to clean. I'd just put clean water in it and turn it on right after I finished my drink. If it needed to be disinfected, I'd put soap in the water and turn it on. The problem with it is the motor doesn't last long. If you use it daily like I did, you'll be lucky to get more than two or three months out of it.

Hi Sis, I found it very easy to clean. I had no problems at all. I did rinse and wash right after using it and that may have helped.

I bought one for my Mom, slightly different. They actually opened up a store locally and they said sometimes they get them in broken and will sell the lids then, but there aren't replacements to buy. If it broke during use, I would contact Teavana, they may replace it for you as I've had mine over 2 years now and it gets used every day and I've not had any problems with it.

It makes great fruit smoothies. As far as carrots or spinach etc i haven't tried it. The smoothies are creamy. It's very heavy as its glass. I found out cleaning is a hassle. You can't put the part that screws on the pitcher to hold to base in dishwasher. it can't get wet! Must carefully wash by hand. I would not have purchased if I knew that. It's a hassle to clean.

I put mine in the dishwasher for about six months. Just too much work, with all the other non-dishwasher-safe junk to wash. It was perfect but then gradually a screw got loose and the handle got slightly loose and then there was a microscopic leak in the bottom. So I got a new one, don't want to take any chances. It's a drag to have to clean it ( I have big hands and have to put on dishwashing gloves) but it's worth it, since it's such a cool coffee mug. I really do love it. The travel one, unfortunately, has a plastic lip. Not so good....
