does the base of this feeder come apart for cleaning?

This base is a single piece which is the reason that we like it. It does not drip all over as do many of those that are in two pieces. It simply unscrews from the bottle. Both are easily cleaned. If it gets especially dirty, we use a mild vinegar solution. Then, rinse very thoroughly. The vinegar will not harm the birds as some other agents might.

Yes, the plastic base unscrews and is easy to clean. The glass container is easily cleaned with a battle brush too. This is a "can't miss" purchase, I have two of them in front of my dining room window, and both are "busy" almost all of the time....

Yes, it does, and when it gets really dirty, I just put a tiny bit of Clorox in a bucket and soak the base in it. The same goes for the glass bottle. Very easy.

I believe the flowers come out but I have never attempted to remove them. I just clean them as good as I can with a small brush.

Yes. This is an outstanding feeder!!! One of the very best I own! And, I have many feeders. Highly recommended.

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

I would think the bottom is but the top is not. It comes with instuctions on how to take the top apart to clean it. I just give mine a quick rinse. Will probably only clean the top (take it apart) once every month or so. It does such a good job though I don't really mind.

Yes. The bowl is detachable. I actually have mine also feed into a pvc pipe funnel as well. Check out my review for a link to build a feeder box.

Yes, the one I received was put together with staples and was coming apart at the bottom of feeder.I bought some wood screws at Lowe's and hired a neighbor man to reinforce it with nine screws and a drill.

No pull out bottom. You have to take the top to clean the cage.The cage has 2 front drop down openings.

Yes, it comes apart into two separate pieces, both of which can go into the dishwasher. It gets completely clean.

There is a triangle shaped loop at the top. However, my new feeder has been jamming lately. So I'm not sure if they are being made as good as a few years ago.

no the base does not come apart. It is well insulated and keeps the ice cream frozen when out of the freezer. Very nice item.

There is a tray to pull out for cleaning. I don't know if there was a grate because I don't use it on mine since it seems unnecessary and just another (difficult) thing to clean. I can tell you that my Senegal parrot loves this activity center.

The plastic container does not come off at all, its attatched to the base. So if your dogs head got stuck in it, you would have to destroy the feeder to free your dog.

We have not washed ours in the dishwasher. You could possibly wash the glass portion of the feeder in the dishwasher. This feeder is fantastic! It comes apart and the bottom pieces separate for easy cleaning with a brush.

Yes, the top of the stand around the bowls will fill with water and you have to dump it out. I too have a messly lab! It beats wiping it off the floor like I did with his other feeder though.

It does come apart for cleaning but I would not recommend as the pump had a very strong chemical / plastic odor and I could taste it in the water. I threw it away. I went to Lowes and purchased one for $10.00, and it had not odor. I cannot remember the brand but it was USA made.

The feeder is held together with staples. I wasn't happy with the one I received as the workmanship was sloppy and one of the boards was split. I won't be buying another feeder from this company.

Sorry...never taken it apart. Just wash with soap and water after each use.
