How easy is it to remove these for cleaning? Do you have to remove the fan as well?

No, they use a magnetic frame which just pull off, wash out under water, dry between two towels. The will attach outside on the case, not to the fan.

I'm sure with the right tools you can certainly separate these.unless you are wanting to remove the fans and use them as something other than a g-rated fan, I wouldn't recommend it. This product is clearly intended to be a dual fan installation. Given that, I can say that this fan is still working for me after more than a year of continuous operation.

I used an air compressor with an air nozzle and sprayed it in the front across the fan blades or squirrel cage as I call it to clean it. One might could use a can of compressed air you can buy at walmart or staples and other places. Hope that helped!

Very easy, simply rinse off the wand/brush attachment under the faucet and empty and rinse out the collection container. Put them back on the the machine and it's ready for the next time you need it. If you rinse them as soon as you are through using the machine they will rinse easily with warm water. I absolutely love mine. Liked mine so much I bought one for my mother.

if you mean is it easy to remove/replace curtain or liner, yes it is. If you mean to remove them from the rod, I've never removed them, but they should come off as easy as they went on, so probably yes.

We own three of these fans and yes, you can clean the inside. There is a small screw at the base of the band that holds the "cage" together. Just remove the screw and the blades can be wiped down. Excellent fan.

I have a Holmes tower fan and 3 Honeywell table fans. They work fine but are impossible to clean. I have tried every type of brush, vac, qtips, pipe cleaners. I called Holmes and rep said that the fans are not made to be taken apart. UGH. I guess now, like most products, fans are meant to be disposible. I am sick of this type of rip off.

Oh yes, and easily. You just pull of the front screen and wipe down the blades. I double love this fan. (If you have any trouble removing the screen face the fan toward yourself securely and squeeze on opposite edges. It'll pull right off.)

I find it to be easy to clean. The face comes off with 3 phillips screws then it just wipes down the same as any other fan.

I find them easy to remove. Grasp both sides of the top with your thumb and middle finger and pull straight up. No need for finger nails or going from side to side.

It is just a plastic clip that is attached to the shaft of a screw holding the metal band around the fan cage. Pry off the clip with downward pressure and remove screw to clean.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with dirt buildup yet, but a can of compressed air would easily clean out the fan areas. So far all I've needed to do is wipe down the outside for the little bit of dust that has gotten on it, and I've had it for several months and use it on a constant basis.

you don't have to remove them. They go over and around. Like a trap. It's very well made. Good luck.

I have no problem cleaning the blades. The fan is working really well and I love the quietness. I have used it every night and all night just to keep the air moving in my bedroom. I would buy this fan again.

You can't open it up and it does collect a lot of dust inside over time. I've found the easiest way to clean it is to use one of those canned air dusters and blast the dust loose through the back. Then turn the fan on high and clouds of dust will come out. Tip- do this outside or in your garage or all your furniture in the room will be covered in dust afterward.

The grill is not removable. It does not pry apart (or if it does, one runs the risk of breaking it while trying, and I gave up on that). Taking the entire fan apart is not the route advertised, which states "easily cleaned" and "detachable grill." No way.

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.
