How often do you clean it? It doesn't recommend a frequency for cleaning in the manual (unless I missed it).

I grind about one pound each week and clean it when that pound runs out of the hopper. It takes longer to find the brush I use in the coffee cup cabinet than it takes to clean it. You could probably clean it less often.

If you mean the burrs, just look down into it and see if it looks sort of oily and black. A trick to cleaning it out is to use "Minute rice", not uncooked regular rice, use about 1/4 cup +/-, grind it and it will clean out the burrs. Then run a small amount of beans through it and it's clean. I wouldn't get too crazy about it, maybe every week or 2 depending on how much it's used. You didn't say anything about the static problem, I haven't found a good fix for that yet but did call the company and was basically told all grinders have the static problem but in my opinion the plastic ones more that the metal ones. I' going to try a "Zerostat", used to remove static on vinyl records, 60's sort of stuff, they shoot out a stream of negative ions (really, not bunk), which should solve the problem. Too much information? Haha!

Since my wife prefers flavored coffee (ugh!) I clean it between flavors. Otherwise the bin can be cleaned when it needs it based on appearance. The exit chute and grinder should be cleane dwhen to start to notice reduced performance.Overall this was a great buy. Very happy with it.

To be honest I never actually clean it. It sits on my counter in the same place it has been for months, I refill the container with fresh beans when needed and then grind it as I use it. I actually put the ground coffee in a reusable container for my k-cup machine so I only use a scoop or so at a time. Never have found a reason to clean it.

I don't really clean it! I dump out whatever beans I don't end up grinding so they don't get stale and I just turn it upside down for that. I also wipe where the ground beans come out with a microfiber cloth, that's all I do!

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

I usually soak mine for about an hour once a week. Mine seem to be doing pretty well

Did you clean it every 7 to 10 days with that brush? the instructions are in the booklet. I do not know how old your machine is but they have a very good grantee. Give them a call if you need help and BTW it also comes with a CD what to do. Good luck.

It has an exposed heating element in the bottom that makes it difficult to clean. It does not have to be cleaned very often but I think 2-3 times per year delending on how much it is used. If I had it to do over then I would have bought a different unit.

We clean ours about every 2 weeks. Although we do use our own media so cleaning amounts may vary.

You might have a defective unit. Mine works great. I have had it for a year now and it works great! Haven't had to clean it once.

I clean mine weekly. I shut it off,quik scrub with a brush, put it back it. I did let it go 2 weeks while I was away and it was still pumping strong. Hope this helps

Not sure who you bought this from since this is a general forum. The pump must be cleaned on a weekly basis depending on the number of pets you have. You can review a nice video of how to do that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw

It recommends every 3 months but I vacuum mine out once a week. I have 3 cats. so I can usually get away with every 4-5 months before having to change it. It runs 24/7.

Mine has never required cleaning and I use it almost daily. I think a soft bristle brush should do the trick if you feel like cleaning.

Sorry, I have only used it twice in my garage since I purchased it, so have not had to clean it yet.

You have to clean it frequently- like at least every week. It gets murky otherwise. The filter is a piece of crap and the tank is little.

I replaced mine when it was not working anymore. Otherwise if it's cleaned well, you don't need to replace it often or at all.

The owner's manual says replace every year for heavy use, every 2 years for normal use and every three years for light use. I use it only at night as opposed to the recommended constant 24 hour condinuous use, so I think I probably waited 4 years, which was much too long as it was really dirty.

Thank you for your inquiry. Happen to have one at home and have only used it twice but I have had no issues with getting the unit completely cleaned. Hope that helps. Thank you

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.

Owned it for ~ 6 months now, used it several times, no visual signs that they need to be cleaned, and no slowing in performance, so have not cleaned them just yet. So, I suppose it all depends on how frequently it is used. Great unit, still love it, no issues, built to last, highly recommend it to anyone in the market.
