Are the pivot heads sturdy? Is it difficult to clean in comparison to the Norlcos with the cleaning stations?

The heads are very sturdy. Extremely easy to clean! I bought an extra head which I changed after about a year's use. This razor is outstanding, and gives a really close shave if you use something like Lectric Shave. I highly recommend it and would buy again.

Get the cleaning station. Worth the money, cleans better and you don't spend 70$ on one head.

I think the pivot heads are good. As mentioned in my post, I had a previous model and the only problem I had with the heads was after dropping the shaver. I can tell you it did not pass the drop test. The heads on this razor are a little bulkier and could be a little more durable but I would suspect dropping it will damage the heads. Regarding the cleaning station, I've never used the Norelco cleaning station but I had a cleaning station from another mfr and my experience was not good. The heads are really easy to clean, they flip open and you can rinse them under running water. I do it after every shave and they stay perfectly clean. I think the pivot heads are good.

Haven't used it a ton, but I don't see that it will have any issues. We really like it and it's nice the handles remove for cleaning and storage.

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

The base is much easier to keep clean than the sensodyne. The brush heads last about 3 months at least then you need to change them. They are not as expensive to change out.

No very well, I have the same set up and this doesn't bend easily enough to clean it effectively. I haven't found one that will though.

I've been using mine daily for about 3 months now and the handles don't get dirty. I've spilled some stuff on them and was able to wipe it clean without issue.

Ours has held up great! We have probably adjusted 2/3 x over the year because I knocked it loose and unaligned the magnets while cleaning the sink, but I did hit it pretty hard. I love the design, I love that it stores dish towels or brushes out of sight.. and allows them to dry into the sink (and not on the counter). I am very satisfied.

There are small ridges in the sides, but I haven't had a problem cleaning them. My kids drink juices out of them everyday. They wash well in the dishwasher.

The outside of mine is not as smoothly machined as the inside, true, but it's nowhere near as rough as a vegetable grater. My dish brush drags a bit, but tha's all. There is a Japanese compant that makes a stainless colander that glossy smooth inside and out, but it has no legs, and costs about $120. I'll take my RSVP, especially since the side the food touches IS smooth.

My previous Contigo was Aria model and it was difficult to clean. I can't speak for this previous West Loop model but the new design is awesome! Good Luck

The cleaning power is outstanding. The cleaning head is large and clumsy and will not fit under some furniture and the accessory heads aren't much better at getting under low furniture. It is a quiet unit. Cleaning the debris container can be a little messy. The vacuum pole/wand will often not stand on the control head if you walk away for a moment. Bottom line: It cleans very well, the control head is too large. I'm neither happy nor unhappy with the purchase. I would go with a vacuum that at least one of the cleaning heads can get under low lying furniture.

Very sturdy! We have two and use them all the time. I don't put them in the dishwasher as some of their products are not dishwasher safe. They can scuff in the dw. You can warm up Pre-cooked food in them in the microwave. They are great for taking leftovers in for lunch. I use them for packing lunch salads in too.

The attachments fit snugly into the unit, but they are easy to remove for washing or to change the type of attachment needed. Since the attachments fit snugly into the unit, it is highly unlikely that an attachment will fall off. I use my Ozeri on a daily basis for frothing milk and a variety of other mixing needs, and none of the attachments have ever fallen off. Great product with plenty of power.

The heads of the spatula/scrapers do not flop around. They are pretty ridged but the edges are pliable to shape to the vessel you are scraping. I would not use these for mixing a stiff dough, though I have used them for batters and for mixing wet ingredients like a meatloaf or casserole ingredients and they did just fine. I'm really very happy with them.

Yes, it is easy to clean the brushes. I use my hand for the bulk and I use a comb for the smaller pieces of debris or fuzz on the brushes. Remember, this is a carpet sweeper, not a full size, powerful, electric vacuum cleaner. I'm very pleased with this unit and I would purchase another if the need arose.

I have the Easy Clean - actually 2 of them (1 at our vacation home). You can definitely use it without the brushes revolving. There's a setting on the on/off switch for turning the brushes on/off.

There's a screw in the middle of the plastic tip, so I'm guessing you can remove that and slide out the rows of the brush for cleaning. It's very easy to clean just leaving it intact, though. As for the hardness of the bristles, they are mostly rigid but have a little bend when forced.
