How do I remove the lid on the big blender??? I read somewhere to put it through the dishwasher but I don't have one. Seems impossible!!!

Hmmm, is this a new unused big blender? The pulsing handle has a locking mechanism. You'll need to lift that handle to 90 degrees up, and then pull straight up.

I'm not sure what you mean but to get the lid off you lift the handle on the lid and pull as you hold the blender down.

I am not sure what u are asking. The lid of the blender comes right off. I use my thumb to push up the lid right in front of the large handle. Lift up the small handle on the top lid and push up with your thumb where u see the indentation, in front of the arrow. Sometimes, I remove the rubber sealer to clean under it. When u remove the lid, if u cannot get the lid handle to go down flat, do not force it. Squeeze in the "button things" on each side together and push handle down

can you clarify your problem? it can be a little hard to pull the lid up and off, after you've rotated the handle to the near-vertical position, but it's just suction and will eventually go away, also lift the pour spout. it's a tight fit, lid to mixing container, that is. usually i don't need dishwasher if i clean it right away it just all washes off with water, soap, spray.

It should be realtively easy. You may have to pull and shake it a little while pulling. The first few times were also a little difficult for me.

Pull it straight up. There is a handle that lifts up then pull straight up, that the on thing other people complain about but for the money you can't go wrong with this product. You'll get used to the top.

Lift the lid handle up and then pull STRAIGHT up. You need to hold onto the handle of the blender w/one hand and pull the lid off w/the other, once you figure it out, it won't be difficult. I was rocking it off, which is hard to do, but my husband showed me how to just pull it off and voila! It's just that first time, lol!

I've never had nor worked with a vitamix but I've never had a blender that was this easy to clean! I put a drop of dish washing liquid in it and fill the pitcher half full of water and pop the lid on and buzz it for 10-30 seconds, whatever I'm in the mood for, and rinse clean. Once in a while I run it through the dishwasher, like when I make mayonnaise, just to ensure the greasiness gets washed away really well.

Take the lid off and remove the clear "funnel" from the lid. Turn the blender assembly upside down and place on countertop. Place the lid over the bottom of the blender; there are tabs on the bottom of the lid that will engage the tabs on the blades. Press down hard to keep the tabs engaged and turn counterclockwise.

Hello Susan B. Yes, you are able to take the entire Blender apart to clean it. I do not think that it needs to be taken apart each time you use it. The seal is tight. You can purchase new blades on Amazon. I have not yet had the need to do that. To clean, I just rinse it out-put in some water and dishwashing soap and blend it for a few seconds. Then dry it. I sound like a commercial. Anyway, this Beehive Blender is BETTER than I expected it to be. Have a great day.

I was in the same situation and I ordered it. It fit the blender fine, but my old lid doesn't fit 100%, it works fine but I would recommend maybe buying the lid that goes with this particular jar if you can find it.

The lid screws off then there is a sifter with a piece of plastic/tape over it - Peel back that tape/plastic & it comes right out of the sifters(&sometimes; maybe a little too much comes out so be careful!!) :)

The newer design has a little snap-tight flap under the lid that you open, then just put it in the dishwasher. I also put the older style lid (without the opening flap) in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

I run mine through the dishwasher all the time! I separate that parts and place the lid in the glass rack and the parts to the lid in the silverware basket. Never had a problem!

Unscrew the top lid. Just unscrew the lid, which might be a bit difficult, but it will unscrew. After you take off the lid itself, you have to sort of pry the inner lid up and off. No unscrewing necessary for that. Just work it out. You might try using a butter knife to get that part loose. NOT A STEAK KNIFE!! You'll poke your eye out!!!

There is the blender glass pitcher, the metal piece with the revolving blades, and the plastic screw cap. Place the glass pitcher up-side-down on the counter. Now place a rubber 'O Ring' on the bottom rim of the glass pitcher (which is facing upwards, since the pitcher is up-side-down). Follow this by placing the metal piece with the blades on top of the 'O Ring' (so that the blades are inside the glass pitcher). Lastly, screw on the plastic screw cap that fits on the bottom of the glass pitcher. Make certain that the screw cap is on tight so that whatever you put in the glass pitcher to be blended doesn't leak out from the bottom. This should do it!

the lid connected to the machine comes off when you remove the smoothie maker, there is an attached lid that screws off. There is also another lid you can use to drink out of or store the smoothie. Great small smoothie maker!

Best you can do is rinse it right away after a pitcher is finished and it comes very clean in the dishwasher if you have one. No bottle brush I found can get into the handle, I can't stand the design of it for that reason. I also put a drop of dish soap, few inches of water, cap on and shake hard.

Push it down in the hole towards the top of the lid and then pull it out. To replace it, lay the new one it and slowly work it into the area between the top part of the lid and the middle area.

Wendy I am looking for a lid to fit the same model number blender. Did you ever find your item and if so could you let me know where and what I should be looking for.

It can only be pulled up and out of the lid. I has a lip that prevents it from falling in the blender. This is an awesome blender. Can't say enough good things about it. And SO easy to clean!
