How hard is it to keep this clean? DBW7300

That is a good question. Since it is a plastic-type of material it can be wiped clean. However, the pattern mimics a rattan, so there are lots of little indentations. We live in the south where there is a lot of pollen in the spring. It was hard to completely wipe this off without a brush (more than I was willing to do). But the box is sturdy, spacious and attractive for storing pillows or whatever you like.

It is quite simple. It is constructed in such a way, that I wipe it off most times with a clean cloth and occasionally spray it with a garden hose. No water gets inside.

Mine is outside on a boat dock and it is not a problem. In fact today it is being rinsed by a light rain.

I have been running this unit almost nightly for a few weeks. Haven't cleaned yet. They recommend not letting water/oil sit in unit while not in use. I am careful to let it run until it turns off, then dispose of small amount of water left and thoroughly wipe out with soft cloth.

How difficult is this to clean? How do you clean around all the screws and hinges.

It's not that hard to clean the machine. The white film is annoying. It's not hard to clean off of things, but it builds quickly depending on how much it runs and how close it is to them. Just don't put it next to electronics, the static electricity really attracts the white film. It comes with anti-microbial beads in a container that is screwed to the inside of the cap for the reservoir. I removed them and it did reduce the amount of white film produced; you'll just have to clean the tank more often.

We just changed ours after 4-5 years and it was dirty. The machine did seem to work well all that time, so it's not like it lost air flow from being overly dirty. Make sure to vacuum the outside periodically (it will get dusty) so that air can flow in.

I've had the unit running about a month. It's very easy to clean, you just disassemble the components and wipe them clean. I also clean the inside of the tube with something that looks like a giant pipe cleaner - it's called a refrigerator brush and I just got it at Walmart

I haven't had to. It's still effective. I just clean it about every week or so.

The sound isn't bad. But it is a pain in the ass due to the filters & my pump failed in a week. You have to buy filters & brushes to clean. Do the simple thing. Get a bowl from Wal-Mart. Top it off every day. Scrub it clean on Saturday.

I have not had any problems with mine. I clean it every once in a while with light dish soap, but that is all!

Have not had to clean mine yet, but product is made of high grade plastic with smooth finish so it should be very easy to clean. Love this product.

ive used it heavily and it's still clear for me, about two months now with semi-daily use. id say just avoid getting it too dirty and DONT submerge it in water to clean.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

Hand washing only is recommended for this unit. I have never really had a problem keeping mine clean.

Every other day and then I clean it once a week by putting white vinegar and water in it and then run it for 1/2 an hour. Hope this helps

Very well! And i just run hot water through it and polish with a soft cloth. I just googled cleaning options. There are other ways, but that was the easiest way i found.

I have not cleaned it yet. However the entire top (with all the sides) lift right off. The filter unit comes out and that is basically the entire inside. The motor is up in the cover. The only problem I had was the little door leaked water when filling. I put a little calking around the emblem (on the inside of the door) and it solved the problem (it only took a couple minutes). It also runs so quietly, you barely know it's running. I love it!
