It has 3 baskets and is very easy to clean. You literally flip a switch to disconnect the intake / outtake (quick connect) and then unhook the top. There are 3 baskets inside. It is as easy to clean as just about any other canister filter.

Works great. Easy to clean. But it comes bare bones. No lights no carbon. You have to supply all that yourself. But very easy to clean and maintain.

I have a manual I believe you can find it on line. Make sure you apply pam to the bottom of the container Otherwise it burns and is hard to clean Other wise I like it

The unit is very easy to clean. I don't find it slimy at all. It is a little tricky placing one of the foam filters in the correct spot and removing and repositioning the plastic piece. I have found that it is easier to position the motor in it's place after the foam and plastic piece slide into place. Once you do this once, it is easier to do as you know how to position it. The unit is very easy to clean and all the parts are plastic and can be washed with hot water and dish soap. There are no areas that require a brush or hard to get to.

Super easy to clean. I use a wet rag or any sort of surface cleaner. They are like plastic so you can use anything.

Found a manual on the internet that tells how to clean. Can't find a way to send you the attachment. If you type in mini classic operating manual you should see the link to the PDF

It's very easy to clean. Just make sure you use the proper cleaner that's called out in the manual or you could scratch it. We love our stove top.

The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system. I suppose the system is a good place to anchor the shaver for a recharge, and ability to additionally clean and dry is useful at the same time. It's utility will be down to a personal preference, is definitely not a must, and should be treated as a nice option. To me a function which is overlooked in the cleaning system is that of drying the shaver quickly (as it can be used as a wet shaver, or rinsed after a shave for a quick clean), as it will help in protecting the metal parts from any rust. The downside is only a few extra dollars! The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system.

I agree with the others, very easy to clean, at work they have an older model and it cleans just as easy as my newer model.

Yes, it is very easy to clean. I use a damp sponge on the outside and top and a dray clean cloth for the inside. This is my third one and they work great!

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?

I hand wash mine but it's super easy to clean up. Get it, you will love it.

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

Yes, it is super easy to clean... All you have to do is wipe it with a damp cloth but do not use bleach... The care instructions on the tag will also tell you that

I have owned two of these. I have never cleaned them. I think the first one died because it eventually gunked up but that was at least a year after I bought the thing. It has never even occurred to me to clean it.
