I have teenagers. I will need to clean the lid (inside and out) on a regular basis. Is immersible or clean-able easily?

You can immerse the plastic ring around the top but the lid itself has batteries and can not be totally immersed in water, but it isn't difficult to clean at all

NO!!!! I am pretty sure tha was what killed it the second time. And I didn't even immerse it (used the sink sprayer). It stopped working but I let it dry out for several days and it started working for a few days, then it went erratic and finally failed solid-door-locked-closed. It has been taken out of service and replaced with the cheapest thing we could find at Walmart with an ordinary slide-to-open-slide-to-close lid that works well and tolerates cleaning--a need even without teenagers.

Immersible no, Cleaneable yes. Remove the lid, moisten a kitchen towel with disinfectant and wipe down. There is a power switch on the underside which you can use to turn off the lid so it wont open and close while you are trying to clean it.

We have had ours since September and whether you are a teenager or and adult you have to try pretty hard to get the interior of the lid dirty. Otherwise, remember that there are electrical connections that even though they are battery operated and of no real danger they will short out should they get washed. All of this is visible so you shouldn't have a problem knowing what to do. Maybe if you give the responsibility of clean to the teens they will be more careful with the way they use the trash can.

The outside is easily cleanable. The inside though has ridges and stuff... pretty hard to clean. I don't think I would immerse it underwater. I clean with spray bottle of cleaner.

I owned 2, one for about 18 months and another for 2 months and it never needed cleaning in that time. Perhaps because our water isn't 'hard', we didn't need to de-calcify. The glass is definitely clean-able, both in and out.We loved it except for the 2 occasions when we accidentally hit it on the side of our sink as we were filling it with water, causing it to shatter. After that, we got a metal sided one. However, it's a beautiful jug.

Yes it is. I don't find it any harder than a regular seat and its super easy to clean!

It is quite easy to clean the cooker. I wipe around the inner edge of the main part of cooker itself and wash out the little water overflow catcher on the side. The top inner lip wipes clean and the inner part of the lid which sits over the stainless steel basket is easily removed for cleaning. The inner lid that is removable can also be used as a lid for the stainless steel basket, which I only discovered after owning this for two years. I have owned this cooker since 2010 and love it. I've had no problems.

In general, it is very easy to clean. Pop the top off, dump everything in the trash, and wipe it out. The only part that is sort of gross is the part under the water bottle. It gets sort of disgusting, but is still not difficult to clean - just sort of yuck.

Yes it is easy to clean. The straw comes apart and can be cleaned. This is still my favorite cup for infants. I am on my second round of grand babies.

I would not immerse it. It has electric contacts. I soak the interior with very hot water and then wipe out with a paper towel. It has a non-stick interior but, if you don't do this, the milk stays in and turns flakey. It froths best when clean. You can immerse the spinning thing. And you can wipe down the exterior.

Yes - much easier than a plastic model we had. It has fewer parts than many other models too, but it does take a little more care since ceramic can be a little more fragile. I don't know that it stays clean for any longer than our other model, but it isn't as visibly dirty - so you may run into issues where you think it's clean when it's really not. I don't mind this myself, I just clean it regularly anyway.

Since it's all stainless steel inside and out, I would say YES to this question. The one issue is to be sure and thoroughly clean the rubber lid as this can collect the grungy bacteria that can form with milk products sitting against it for periods of time. The lid is the critical issue that requires good cleaning.

The cap shown n the picture here is pretty easy to clean, I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe myself. The flip top is the top I use the most and it does have a few nooks and crannies but a little soap and hot warm does the trick.

The interior is completely washable. There is a vented plastic screen guard that covers the light but other than that the interior has smooth surfaces for easy cleaning. That is one of the reasons I purchased it. I did not want to have to clean around a turntable or other interior parts as with other microwave models. I believe all commercial microwaves must have easy to clean flat surfaces for health codes. I'm very happy with mine. It is easy to operate and is perfect for my needs of a simple hard working durable microwave oven!

Yes, easy on and off. Fairly thin.not the greatest on sturdiness. Not leak proof. Id give them a 3 out of 5. I do use them often and reuse. But occasionally the lids piss me off.

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

Pretty much. The biggest problem is cleaning the lid. I've given instructions on how to disassemble the lid mechanics to clean it. This is mostly a problem when using creamers and stuff.

I don't believe it can be immersed. I clean mine with a dish water cloth and rinse with water . no problems with that method

It is very easy to clean. The cap disassembles so you can clean all of the pieces. It does not leak, the cap also locks in place

I think so. I don't immerse it in water, since there's a space between the outer shell and the inner glass container, and I'd rather not get water in there, so I just put a little dish washing liquid in it, add hot water, screw the lid on, and shake, then drain and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Works fine for me.
