Do the parts of the blender come apart for cleaning? The bowl from the blades, etc.

Yes. And it does have an instruction/recipe book w/at least 3 smoothie recipes.

Hi, no the glass does not come apart from the blades. Actually, there is a special way of cleaning the blades of this blender - put some dish soap and about a quarter full of water in the carafe, blend for a few seconds, then rinse. I have not had this fail to clean appropriately in the months I have owned the blender.

The parts do not come apart. There is no problem with cleaning. It is great for fruits and of course ice.

No I wouldn't for two primary reasons: the blade will dull much as a knife does when you put it in the dishwasher, secondly you have to take it apart to clean the rubber gasket area which collects liquid and will get very nasty with food debris. You can put the container in the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put the blades or small parts in the dishwasher. Your equipment will last longer if your hand wash the smaller pieces in both the blender and the food processor.

The inner cup and blades are not removable for cleaning. I use a soft brush. It's great for cleaning grinds out of your grinder.

Yes, it does clean the blades very well, I've had it for 3-4 months and still works like the first time I opened it. No regrets.

I wash it without disassembling it. Lots of soapy water and rinse well. Done. Even will put it in the dishwasher. Comes out fine. I would not take it apart.

Yes, everything comes apart and it's all plastic so it's easily washed. You just wipe off the main unit with the motor which can't be immersed.

I handwash the blender. Have never had any problem with getting the blade area clean.

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

It scratched mine. I have swirl marks all over the bottom, but I still love the blender.

The whisk, chopper bowl and blades are dishwasher safe. The motor housing and blender shaft cannot be immersed in water. Per the instruction manual, clean with a damp cloth, do not immerse, rinse under the tap. The bottom of the blender shaft is sealed, but the top where it engages the motor is not and water can be trapped inside.

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

It can be easily taken apart for cleaning. I disassemble it and clean it takes about twenty minutes or so. The blade is sharp but it is no different then cleaning or handling knifes.

Yes, the top of the blender comes off - it comes apart exactly like a real blender.

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.

After using my Kitchen Aid immersion blender I frequently fill a bowl with hot water and a small amount of dish soap, insert the chopper or whisk attachment and turn the blender on in short bursts. The attachment comes our "clean as a whistle." I then unplug and disassemble the unit, wash the blending arm in the bowl, and rinse all parts in hot water. I then allow all parts to air dry. Works great for me.

No, I just tip it up and scrape it w/a rubber scraper. I LOVE mine. Have used it since ordering it just a couple of months ago. So easy to take apart and it all goes in the dishwasher :) Hope this helps.

The pan and grinder attachment's are, the motor housing is not. I will take it all apart and run only the parts by themselves in the dishwasher. I do hand wash the parts to get all the big stuff off then in it goes.
