How easy is it to clean?

This is the best carafe we have ever had. It pours without spilling; has a respectable capacity; and quite easy to rinse out when cleaning. Several have complained that it doesn't keep the coffee hot enough, long enough. I have not had a problem with this. My afternoon coffee from an early morning brew is still drinkable. Maybe a few secs in the microwave and it's piping hot. I highly recommend this carafe because I am completely satisfied with it.

We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.

Easy to clean the carafe. I also rinse the lid - mostly with hot water but as thoroughly as I can.

I use mine daily and never "clean" it. I just rinse it out and fill it with hot tap water before trading the water for fresh coffee.

No problem and I had tried 2 others before that were difficult to dispense coffee and did not keep it warm!

Cleaning isn't hard. It's breeze,but I don't think it keeps coffee hot as long as they say. It looks just like one that is more expensive. I'll bet the more costly one is made better,maybe vacuum walls or something.

It is easy to clean even though the blades and plastic top unit are one piece. It is a very nice unit. It is powerful! I hope this helps!

Yes it's easy to clean. The top can be taken apart easily and completely cleaned. No problem to reassemble it. I do it even while at work without taking much time.

Hi Sis, I found it very easy to clean. I had no problems at all. I did rinse and wash right after using it and that may have helped.

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.

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

It is easy to clean. But a little tricky to open. I haven't had any build up at all.

I'd say it's as easy to clean as other food processors. Although since it's smaller in size, cleaning is simplified simply due to it's smaller stature.

I find it is very easy. I just run my vacuum hose over it or use a duster. I think you can even take the front or back grille off to clean more thoroughly.

It's very easy to clean , the parts that you need to clean are 3 parts. I washed them in 2 minutes. :)

Yes it is easy to clean, but be careful around the inside base when you are changing the filter, as ours snapped off after we had it for about 6 months. KJ

Very easy. It all comes apart and can easily be washed by hand, which is what I do, or put in the dishwasher. The only part that really can't be cleaned is the power head. I turn the grill to the 1" side and place it in the liner pan and put hot water and soap in the liner pan so the grill soaks while we eat. Easy peasy to clean after that!

I found it very easy to clean. You may have to stick your finger in it to clear some of the garlic residue but it's not a big deal at all.

It cleans so easy I just wipe it our and hand wash with mild soap. Goggle it to be sure or take smallest piece and put through dishwasher.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I've had it in daily use for about two months and have had no problems at all.

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.
