When cleaning, does the blade column freely detach and fall out (as it does in the Ninja Mega Kitchen System)?

yes it freely detaches but be careful because the blades are sharp and you don't want to let them just drop out.

Yes it does come apart for easy cleaning. I believe this is the best one out there. It's incredibly sharp so use the guide but it will get the job done. Good luck.

The blade is a unit that simply slips over the center post. The blade are attached, not removable from the plastic that they are imbedded in. It should simply lift off the center post. If is doesn't come off easily, then you will need to contact Oster and complain. I was very unhappy with this appliance. I used it once and then donated it to a charity. Better to spend the money and buy a small Cuisinart... they actually work the way they are supposed to.

Yes, everything detaches from the main power wand. I use my frequently and I really love it. I now have two small food choppers and this one is the one I reach for first.

I have never had the handle accidentally detach while grating. The grater has a locking ring that keeps the grating cylinder in place. GREAT piece of equipment. I give them a gifts !

Don- I bought the same slicer and you need to remove the blade to properly clean. Remove the lock nut for the center plate and remove, remove the sharpener, remove the 3 screws that hold the blade and the blade will come out. That make cleaning much easier. My cleaning ti,mes have gone from 30 minutes down to about 10. Use a anti bacterial whip after all the debris has been removed. do a final wipe down with a clean towel and dry when you are complete and re-assemble

Gee, I haven't seen it on the market. Besides, the one with a longer handle comes from a different brand and has a butterfly opening at the top, so it does not comes apart when replacing a shaving blade. Yeah, it would be nice if one could have a choice of different handle sizes! Hope this was the answer you were looking for.

I just use a basting brush to clean around and under the blade. There really isn't a reason for removing the blade. From time to time, I may use a damp paper towel to remove coffee dust that may accumulate over time.

The blade is not part of the handle but it is not made to detach either. The blade is metal and the handle is plastic. It's a great peeler....this is the third one for our kitchen.

Fairly so after a wile it gets loose but never to the point where the knife is just falling out

No, the system is basically a spring that forces the blade into pins that hold it in place. If you remove any part of the system, the blade will fall off the pins.

There is a removal part where the blade is located for cleaning. Very messy clean up

No unfortunately it does not. That would make it much easier to clean out the random yucky things my two toddler boys put into it. We also have the Green Toys Submarine and that one does come apart at the handle attachment.

Yes the blender comes apart. the blade can be easily unscrewed using the lid fitted to the bottom and screwed on after cleaning.

As I recall, yes. I think the blades are stationary in the blender cup, i.e., they don't come out separately for washing. I no longer own the blender .... not because it was not a good blender. Just didn't have much need for it after all. Good blender for the price. If you expect to do a lot of heavy-duty blending and keep it for a while, I would suggest perhaps going with one of the "biggie" blender brands, such as Breville, KitchenAid or Cuisinart, which have a very good rating.

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.

If you hold the saw blade down, and turn the release, I have had the blade just fall free of the saw. If you hold it blade up, I can turn the release with my off hand and remove the blade with my free hand. I definitely can't say the blade is "Ejected", but it will fall free easily.
