can you use it straight out of the box, or do you have to clean it first or something along those lines?

I pulled it apart to see the construction but didn't clean it. It was my first pipe so I'm no expert. I enjoy smoking it.

You probably could. I didn't. Rinsing it after each use with hot water, is how I cleaned it

Just keep it rinsed. Have never gotten it dirty enough to be a problem. Have only owned it a couple of months. Cheap enough to replace if it gets messed up badly. Matter of fact; I bought it as a replacement for the failing one in the used camper I recently purchased.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

You can use it right out of the packaging, but some people prefer to wash it first to removing any packaging odors there may be. This is only optional and not required. Hope this helps.

We got this as a wedding gift and i regret that I've been remiss in addressing that we haven't been able to use it as none of the accessories fit onto the hand held motor unit. Therefore, I can't speak for how difficult or easy it is to clean. I'd venture to guess that you remove the parts simply and put them into the dishwasher. Seems simple?

I don't really clean it. I just wipe it out with a paper towel after each use.

If you don't wish to clean it right away just put a wet paper towel in it and when you are ready it just wipes out the sediment that is there.

I let it dry, then use a stiff bristle brush to clean it.After that, I run it thru my washer with light detergent on a gentle cycle and let it air dry.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

We rinse it clean with warm water and pat dry with a towel. You could also use a type of wipe to clean it.

I've never needed to. Cleanup is easy! Fill it part way with water and a couple drops of dish soap, run on mix for 30 sec, rinse. All clean!

So far I've just run hot water through it with a little dish soap. No build up in the few days I've been using it. I don't see how else you could clean it though.

Yes, you can clean it with a gentle detergent and water. Make sure to dry it well when you are done.

Yes, VERY.But it is possible. Best to clean it immediately after use. It's very difficult if you wait to clean it.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.
