Is it difficult to clean?

Only a little up in the cap area where the agitation occurs. Still, I've never had a problem hosing it out with water after usage.

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

Normally its simple, as soon as you're done do a rinse, you can delay a soap clean until the evening if you prefer. However, if you wait to clean it, and I've made the mistake of leaving it in my office over a weekend, it can become difficult. If this happens I typically use a salt water mixture to dislodge any trapped dry sediments so they don't linger and retain any bacteria. Then I'll let it sit overnight with a light bleach and water mixture to ensure inactivation of any potential bacteria left. Otherwise even the smallest bit left will leave a smell that is unpleasant.

It is! Because the strainer does not come off the lid so if you have had it with you through out the day and not rinsed it our immediately after you have used it, the protein will sticks to the inside of the lid like dried out oatmeal. Huge flaw by the designer!

For me it isn't. Honestly, I just place some dish detergent in, close the top, and Shake Shake shake!! Lol

No not at all. It comes apart easily to wash by hand or top rack in dishwasher

Ease in cleaning is relative to "how clean you want your machine". Although this may seem obvious, allow me to elaborate. I am pretty meticulous, so I look at cleaning in "three steps". The first step, is cleaning the tanks. I like to rinse out the "clean water tank" (although probably not necessary), the "detergent tank" and the "dirty water tank". All are easily removed and easy to clean. The second step is cleaning the "nozzle". The nozzle is fairly easy to remove and easy to clean. I like to use a hose to spray it down. Lastly, "cleaning the brushes". This is probably the most difficult to clean "thoroughly". The brush assembly is easy to remove, and like the nozzle, spraying it with a hose is easily done. What is a bit more challenging, is cleaning "lint and hair" that can get wound up in the brushes. You probably don't have to clean thoroughly after each use, but I like to do it to add life to the brushes. Just like with a vacuum cleaner, lint and hair can get caught up in the brushes. I personally think the brushes are easier to clean than a standard vacuum, however although not truly "difficult", it can take a few minutes and a little bit of patience to return the brushes to a "near new" condition.

It is difficult to clean only if you don't rinse it immediately after using it... which has happened to me. I have kids, I get distracted :P

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.

Yes, it's not difficult at all. I use the bottle scrubber and just rinse all the pieces off.

I didn't find it hard to clean at all. The scraper makes it easy to get it out of the jar. I just put some dishwashing liquid and a little water and pulse.

It is not difficult to clean. It is not a nonstick surface but it is a very high grade stainless steel.

No not hard to clean, however ours has already died, due to our cat pushing it over a few times. we did love it though.

Yes, it is easy to clean. It's best to rinse it or fill it up to soak right after you use it. We've had ours for a few years now, and can't live without it, and put ours in the dishwasher without any problem.

Yes, it's very easy to clean. What surprises me is that you still have to use some kind of oil/butter something to keep things from sticking!!!

Yes, I find that it is, in fact easy to clean. like anything that would have fat or grease in it, you deal with that factor, but the pieces with this separator come apart and with soap, come clean easily. especially so if placed and washed in the dishwasher.

It's not at all hard to clean. It's two parts that click into each other so you just take it apart.

Pretty easy. The moisture makes it a bit tough and the more pressure you apply the more scrubbing action you get. But my floors get pretty dirty and I need to really scrub.

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.

It's not too difficult. I just used a spatula. It's a little difficult to clean though.
