Do you need to clean it out after using it?

I have not cleaned my pump out after using and I use it for gasoline transfer. So far so good.

I do. I put it in a 5 gallon bucket of water and cycle it through the pump.

no.. fuel will drain back into can on it's own.. just hang the pump assembly to dry until next use.

Don't know if it is necessary to empty the water after each use, but it is a good practice. Water in a closed container can harbor bacteria. If you remove the cleaner the batteries are are not making contact with a source so you don't have to remove them. Hope this helps

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

You should be cleaning it everyday, and it shouldn't take to long to clean it. If you don't clean it every day it does get clogged and takes a long time to get it fully clean again. I always forget to clean it after I use it and it takes me a good half an hour to clean it. If you clean it everyday after use you shouldn't have a problem but do a full cleaning every once in a while to keep it up a running properly.

No but you need to give it a good first cleaning before your initial use. Also, important to keep cleaned and dried after every use. I am really glad I bought mine. Highly recommend.

I don't really clean it. I just wipe it out with a paper towel after each use.

I rinse mine off right after use. Sometimes you have to pull back on some of the latches to free some pieces of apple. Takes 1 min to clean. Make sure you dry it off after so it doesn't rust

I keep mine clean AND DRY all the time. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution, rinse well and dry it out completely.

Wash it with mild detergent and hot water, and rinse thoroughly. It should be fine after that.

I empty mine after every use as the instructions advise. It's an expensive piece of equipment. Why not take care of it properly?

Yes. Once I use it I rinse it & put it right back in the case until next use.

I believe so. It cleaned up after wiping with an alcohol wipe. Before that I could tell it had been used.

I would recommend you empty it every time. If I just have a small area to clean I just add enough water/soap that I think I will need.

I think so. I have only used it a few times, but I did let it soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes each time before I washed it. I had no problem cleaning it after that.

I rinse mine off after every use and allow to 'air dry'. I might suggest that if you really have to 'clean' the toy, soak it in warm water then it should be easy to use a paper towel to get into all the nooks and get it clean. I would then just be sure to rinse it with warm water after every use. Hope this helps.

There is no need to clean the unit after every use if you do not choose to, though I would reccomend cleaning intermittently to maintain cleanliness and maintaining the unit. I am not clear on why some find it so difficult as I have no issues cleaning mine.
