Does this dispenser come apart for cleaning?

It is very difficult to open the container. We had algae growing in ours, so it needed to be opened and cleaned. I first used a few butter knives and loosened the sides. Then filled the lower container with water, without the filter. Then replaced the filter and flipped the Britta upside down. Then shook it violently, making sure the water stayed in (there is an overflow slot that you have to block with your finger). Make sure you are not holding the container in when you shake. After a lot of shaking the lower portion came loose. Was not easy at all. Design flaw. I recommend cleaning everytime you change the filter because of algae and mold.

Yes, but not easily. You need to dry the entire thing and shimmy the top part out. It DOES NOT just slide out. The company acknowledges that it is tricky when I called but other than that wasn't too helpful. Overall, I love do love this large capacity water dispenser though.

I fill it 80% full of water, then (carefully and before it goes through the filter) turn it upside down in the sink and work the top off. The weight of the water inside the unit helps a lot.

I have never tried to take mine fully apart. I am afraid the small tabs that hold the two halves together would break off. I haven't had any problems cleaning it as long as it is unlocked.

It's a bit bulky and doesn't come apart, byt i haven't had any problems cleaning it. Soap and a water sprayer is all I've needed.

when you unscrew the glass top that holds the sugar water you should see that the top of the red part that has feeding port holes in it will come apart from the bottom piece that holds the sugar water for easy cleaning. I hope that makes sense.

No, mine has not unscrewed. This is an awesome broom. I ordered 2 of them. It sweeps up the smallest particles off the floor. I love this broom!!!

It doesn't come apart in that sense. There is a weekly maintenance using white vinegar for scale and diluted chlorine bleach for disinfection. I have had no issues at all with mold to date. I have had mold issues with evaporative type humidifiers in the past. This ultrasonic is better so far.

Yes. You have to take the parts out of the top but they come apart and go back together easily. I just rinse mine off and perhaps give light scrub with a soapy sponge now and then.

You don't need to disassemble, it rinses clean very well. I only disassemble to change blades and after several months of shaving, there is no soap build up and the blades still look like new each change.

I have found that if I clean it out after I've used it, I have no problem getting it clean. When you take the top off, there is plenty of room to get your hand in there with a sponge. The only possible problematic area would be the spout. If you let it sit with gunk in it for a day or two, it takes a little more than a simple rinse, though rinsing it out with very hot water usually does the trick just fine. I am very satisfied with this separator. I think you will be too.

Yes it does. I will admit if it is too fresh and wet it will break apart however; the slits are close enough you don't make a mess.

Yes, it comes apart in three pieces, or technically 4 if you want to completely disassemble it. I just use a bottle brush to get around the outside washer. The inside washer and nut have to be removed to open the draining hole so you can wash it thoroughly.

The part that contains the shampoo (or whatever) slides up and off the holding bracket. The Lid on the top that can be seen in the illustration comes off. A word of caution: wherever you mount this dispenser, make sure you don't knock it upward, as when you are toweling off in the shower and your hand or arm bumps it upward and off the mounting bracket. The only thing holding it in place is gravity.

Yes. Occasionally you will have to rinse it - the frother. Milk dispenser/ container you will have to wash it when empty.

It comes apart easily and goes into the dishwasher. Comes with a scrub brush also.

NO!!! It takes a half hour at least to disassemble & clean. Plastic parts are hard to unsnap and tabs eventually break. I would not buy again, entirely due the to difficulty in cleaning.

Yes, it does come apart. Also mine had 2 different sizes of the U that wraps the bar to fit different sizes of grab bars. My holder works really well. Was only one I could find to work like this. All strong plastic, so no parts to rust.

Yes it does come apart easily for cleaning! I've taken it apart many times for cleaning and back together again with ease. As long as you get the 2 gaskets on right you are good to go with a clean leak proof top.
