Is this blender easy to clean?

Yes very simple, we had our hand kitchen aid for a year and we are very pleased with it.

We got this as a wedding gift and i regret that I've been remiss in addressing that we haven't been able to use it as none of the accessories fit onto the hand held motor unit. Therefore, I can't speak for how difficult or easy it is to clean. I'd venture to guess that you remove the parts simply and put them into the dishwasher. Seems simple?

Totally agree with Jeffrey Watkins. Cleans easily and I keep the storage box on the counter so that it is readily at hand.

I think it is. I haven't had any problems with it. I've always cleaned it by hand.

Yes. All the food parts can go in the dishwasher, except for the two parts that connect to the motor. Wash those by hand, keeping water out of the top gear. After using, I wash the immersion post and set it out to dry, and put the blade part into the dishwasher.

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've found it very easy to clean. I use a bottle brush, works like a charm.

I found it very easy to clean. The entire top comes off easily and the base is one solid piece that can be washed out without any difficulty.

its not hard to clean. I use it everyday and I just throw the parts in the dishwasher and wipe the outside of the motor housing. The 'extra large" feed shute is bigger than the last one that I had which doesnt tell you much, but it has been sufficient for me, and I use mine at work where we feed about 50 people a day and it does the job very well. Im happy with it so far

I really like the self-cleaning feature, but it is not a must. But I use the blender more often because of the ease of cleaning.

Yes it is easy to clean and the quality is good, not fragile. I'm sorry, I don't know about the character

Yes very easy to clean. I have hard water which leaves line deposits along the water line. They cleaned off much easier on this ceramic fountain than on the stainless steel fountain I have.

VERY Easy to clean. It's dishwasher safe! Cleaning by hand might be a problem. You would have to soak it for a while. Washer is the best and simplest way.

It is fairly easy to clean. Recommend you get the brush kit and spray silicone. The small holes in the cutter head are pain without the brushes, but with the brushes it's easy. The big parts are all stainless and clean up good.

No, It is not difficult to clean it. I think it's as easy as clean another recipient!

Extremely easy to clean! In fact, I always wash, dry and put mine away before enjoying the smoothie or milk shake that I made.Ruth Bradley

I make a smoothie almost every morning with plenty of ice. I have had to replace the blade one time ($15, Amazon) just because it wore out. The Cusinart motor is always consistent. The face is easy to clean. The blade assembly has a nice grip so it is easy to assemble/disassemble. The glass part cleans well in the dishwasher. The push buttons are sealed so nothing gets inside. If you want something with more variable speeds or a bunch of different blades, look at other food processors. If you want something simple and dependable with a few speeds and a pulse feature, go ahead and give it a go. It does a great job on drinks and sauces.

It's easy to clean. If you have a large handy,a spoon or anything to move your dish cloth around will be easily done.

Yes, it is quite easy to clean. There really isn't much to the cage so it's easy to take apart.

I don't quite understand your question, but yes, it is easy to clean in general. It is all one piece and you can just rinse or wipe clean. Hope this helps!

It is very easy to clean, but we do have a large sink in our basement that we use. I also bought the cleaning brushes that makes the job very easy. It is much easier to clean than the drink well platinum that we had before.
