Can you clean the blade easily? I quit using our old one because I could not remove all the food crud. Best way to clean it?

My wife says to take off the entire head assembly and hold it under running water. She also says that the drive gear catches on the paper of the can and to remove it prior to opening can. The lid also is difficult to pierce and the handle needs to be held down to get it going. She is not really satisfied with it actually.

It's fairly easily to clean in my opinion. As long as you remove the pieces after juicing and rinse immediately, it is pretty easy. I've never had a hard time with cleaning. Just unscrew the top, dump the shavings, wash, and dry. It's pretty simple. Waring provided a little brush to clean the "blade" piece and it's easy to reassemble. I've never used any other juicers so I am not sure how it compares, but it works great for my usage.

I wipe the blades clean with a wet papertowel then leave out to dry for several hours. This only needs done every few weeks. As far as cleaning the exterior of the unit I use my vacuum (the attachment for cleaning furniture, pet beds, etc) or I will wipe it down with a wet papertowel or cloth. This is the 2nd unit I've had that has the blades that can just be wiped clean. No filters to replace and no mess. I love it!! This one doesnt seem to collect as must dust/pollen as well as the last one I owned but this was much less expensive. I would purchase again.

You can't remove the blades. All you can do is rinse it real well & use some q-tips to get in between the blades. It's a great mincer but I don't like the way you can keep it clean.

Yes. It is easy to clean and you can put the blades and blade attachment in water. You have to be very careful about the plastic tabs that hold the blade housing to the multi-blade component. They are very weak and break easily. Once they break, the blades can fall off during use. It is my biggest complaint about the product. The design is very poor. I clean mine a couple of times a week but did have to purchase extra blades which are $16 a pop.

remove the small screws on the back and snap that piece off; you can then clean the blade

I put my Jaccard in the dishwasher and it comes out immaculate. Never any cleanliness issues. I did bend a blade once but was able to straighen it out fine. Love this device.

I actually stopped using mine. It works fine (as long as you don't overdo it and break the handle) but I got tired of the constant clean up and it takes up a lot of space. I also found it necessary to clean after each use because of fruit flies. It's just as easy for me to chop scraps up while I'm cooking.

We just washed it by hand. It's pretty easy to clean. I imagine it would go in the dishwasher though, if you wanted to do that. We no longer have this slicer, by the way. It was good while it lasted, but the wire doesn't last long, and it's hard to find a replacement wire. I just buy another slicer when one breaks (just bought one at Ocean State Job Lot for $7!).

The blade is separate from the filter, which it needs to be for easy cleaning. It is heavy duty stainless and while the maker says it is dishwasher safe, I wash by hand. I wouldn't put my best knifes in the dishwasher either. We use it everyday. Hope this helps Eileen.

The Ninja is very easy to clean. I just rinse it out every other use, and then when its time to put in dish washer, it all breaks down nicely.

Our staff has no problem with the cleaning our 10-inch LEM Slicer. It is very generic. Take all removable parts off easily. Clean each separately. Use extra caution removing the blade for obvious reasons. Once all is clean and sanitized replace as required. It is not hard to do unless you are just simply lazy and don't want to be bothered! Its all about owning equipment & taking care of it properly.

Yes,I never have any problem cleaning the blades. I really love my blender and use it a lot.

You just have to keep in mind that there are 2 sharp edges. I wash it with a thin sponge or a small dish washing brush. Just make sure you only clean in the direction away from the sharp edges so the blade can't dig into the sponge or brush. I've cleaned mine both by hand and in the dishwasher with equally good results.

It is not very easy to clean. That is the ONLY bad thing about it. I use a toothpick to clean between the blades. But I use it all the time, and LOVE it!!

It's very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp or wet cloth or sponge. Air dry or use a kitchen towel.

I'd say no different from other food processors. You still have to clean the blade, bowl and lid; and there are some crevices in the lid that are finicky to get into.
