Removing the bowl without making a mess: Am I missing something?

Do I remove the flat beater first? YES, and then tap it off into the mix, like you were going to do anyhow later........

You can but I don't. Like the other commenter, I like the bowl so much and don't want to scratch it.

the bowl liner comes out easily, just tilt the heating element and slide out. The aluminum will clean if you use a slightly abrasive pad which will leave some marks since this is not a non stick coated surface but it doesn't affect the heating qualities at all

The bowl is stainless steel and is not removable. In fact, the top of the machine is all one piece with the bowl shaped out of that single piece. It's not hard to clean though. Pour in some warm soap water, scrub clean with a soft sponge, and then use the sponge to get the water out. Wipe dry when you're done.

the bowl is fully removable. you could use the scale without the bowl if you want to.

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)

It's pretty easy once you know how. Put your thumb on the outside of the bowl and the side of your index finger on the nub of the filter. Squeeze your fingers together and the filter should pop right out. The filter can be disassembled by holding the nub in one hand and pulling the bottom of the filter away at the notches. That too should come right off.

There is nothing to remove. Make sure the opening is slid open as that is that part you pull to close when disposing. You should be good to go from there. I hope this helped!

The bowl and lid are not seated properly. This is for your protection. If the lid is not on properly you could cut yourself. First place the bowl on the machine without the lid. Turn it until it snaps into place. then put just the lid on (minus the inserts) and turn until the lid is properly snapped on the bowl. Then put the insert with the silver stick on it into the bowl. Now switch the machine on. It should work now. Please let me know how you make out. If you have trouble doing this, you can go to your nearby Williams-Sonoma. They can show you how.

I don't have a dishwasher either. It isn't awkward at all actually... even if you have excessively large hands! A dish scrubber can easily work the dirt off the 'saucer' area. Even if you don't have one too, a finger can work thru it with ease.

yes there is an inside panel that you have to take off, when you get out of there is three bowls that you have to unscrew and then the mere should come right off. don't drop the bold inside the door panel because the mere does not come with them.

I didn't keep this one, but I believe I can help: Lift the body of the mixer. I don't remember this one having anything to hold the bowl in, so at that point you should be able to just lift it out. If it IS held in place, I'd try turning the bowl counter-clockwise.

So you have to take the tank off the bowl. That to me is apart. The bowl stays place but to secure all the parts the tank has to come off. A few screws and the larger nut on the bottom. Nothing challenging. Just a little wet but nothing a towel or two can't solve.

It all depends on how long you have the oven running. Somethings are microwaved and the handle stays cool. Others require the use of a pot-holder to remove the bowl using the handle.

The bowl is stainless steel. It is NOT removable and is part of the top surface of the machine. Some people complain that not being removable makes it hard to clean, but I find it very easy. Being one piece means that there are no seams or other places that require special attention. This is a beatiful, well built machine.

Yes. Unhooking the main piece from the bowl is easy, just push on the hooks. The ramp was the only tricky part to put back on, and once you did it a time or two it's pretty basic.

The silver bowls remove for cleaning, but they do not expose the storage compartment. The top half is removed for storage. It is easy to remove the top. I just remove the bowls and then remove the top half of the feeder. I hope this answers your questions.
