Is the fan easily disassembled for cleaning and motor lubrication?

I have not taken it apart but it has 6 tiny screws that need to be removed before the front can be taken off and it oiled if that helps any

Absolutely. The parts assemble and reassemble easily. The only issue with cleaning is making sure you avoid the very sharp blades. :-)

It is easy to clean and the only parts that can be taken off is the battery cover and the screen to the fan blades.

It's fairly easy. All running parts except the motor disassemble for easy cleaning with soap, hot water and the included brush that allows the user to reach hard to clean areas.

Yes it's easy just don't over tighten any parts. The blades come off for easy cleaning in sink. Great fan. Very quiet at low setting.

All I can answer for is I took old one off complete and put New one in its place complete. Contained motor, fan and fan housing. Hope that helped.

It completely comes apart for cleaning and easy to reassemble. We've been happy with it. It uses a fairly small amount of oil so you don't waste a lot either.

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.

I tried to remove the grill of my small three-speed fan. There are two screws that can only be turned with a special screwdriver (9 or 10 dollars) I have cat hair stuck to the oiled parts of the motor. I will give the pressurized water method of cleaning a try. Trying to pluck it out with long craft tweezers hasn't worked for me.

No, the top and ceiling interface is flat and metal which encases a much smaller than overall diameter motor. The motor is a sealed metal disc (visually equivalent to a round enclosure tape measure.) I used 1 inch drywall screws and the assemvly mounted perfectly. My reason for disassembling is due to a noisy motor. I sprayed lubricant hut only helped temporarily. I am looking to replace for the third time because of noisy motors. I will try to find a more expensive one having different motor design.

The fan does require assembly, mostly because they want to fit the parts into the smallest possible box for shipping. There are a total of eight pieces in the box, including a small Phillips-head screw. Everything snaps or screws easily together in a matter of a few minutes. The lone part that needs a tool is a small Phillips-head screw that locks the base onto the upright arm. The parts fit together so nicely that you could probably leave off the screw. If the entire job is taking you more than 10 minutes, give the parts and directions to one of your kids. :)

We haven't done this, but there are screws on the back that look like you can take it apart. It is a terrific fan - quiety and powerful. After getting one for ourselves, we bought one for our daughter.

Yepper! The whole fan comes apart and reassembles very easily. It's a 'breeze' to clean. And it sure does fan! I really like it.

No simple way. There are 8 screws that would appear to separate the two halves of the cover. I've never removed them. The instruction leaflet that comes with the fan states:The fan grills not supposed to be disassembled by user (exact wording, including incorrect grammar). Recommend to use a small paint brush and vacuum to clean the fan blades.

No it's all inside the unit no need for cleaning. It is completely un reachable. Just vacuum off outside of fan.

Yes. I am not home at the moment but I believe there are two small screws on the front. Remove those, pop the front off an wash it. The blades also slide off for easy cleaning. The remainder, just vaccum to remove dust. I love this fan and will purchase another when this one gets too old.

Yes, once you take the cover off, there is one medium sized nut that holds the light assembly. You must unscrew the bulb to get to this nut. One you remove and unplug the light assembly there are two smaller nuts that hold the fan assembly in place. The fan also just unplugs. The new motor comes with it's own plug so you just reverse steps to mount the new motor. It's very simple.
