Can you take apart the fan easily to clean it?

I have just wiped the outside down and have yet the need to take it apart to clean, so I dont know the answer to your question Melissa. It doesnt have the traditional wide flat paddles that would collect dust.

No, you can not disassemble the fan to clean easily. That is, you'll have to unscrew six screws in back of the fan, and that only allows you to clean the back of the fan. Unfortunately, you'll need to dust clean your fan daily, to avoid any clutter. Other than that, the fan works great.

No. It took me three hours total to take it apart (multiple screws on the cover and motor casing) and wipe down each individual blade (there are hundreds) on the actual fan part, because those parts don't come off at all. If you value dust free fanning, get an old standby fan. I cleaned that one in 5 minutes.

Sorry...but it's not yet dirty! :) However, I would just use one of those feather dusters that are flexible and can get in-between the vents.

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.

I used it for such a short while, I didn't try that- it cleans easily by hand, however. It is all stainless steel, so as long as you detach the motor it appears to be something that could be done.

There are a bunch of screws on the back panel an once you take it off it's easy to wipe off the fan blades with cleaning spray and paper towels.

I have used this type of fan for years. And yes you can take it apart by taking out some screws on both sides, but i like to just spray it down with the garden hose and then let it dry for the day.

Haven't had it long enough to know, suspect it disassembles, but I'm not near it at the moment and Dyson only shows this: http://www.dyson.com/support/am02/am02-tower-fan-silver/using-my-dyson-list/cleaning-your-dyson-fan-am02. I swifter the bottom, too and would try vacuuming it if I thought is was at that point. They give this email for questions: questions@dyson.com

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.

There's a YouTube video that goes through the process of disassembly to properly access the area that requires cleaning. It looks a bit daunting and time-consuming and it voids the warranty. Blowing compressed air is what the manufacturer recommends. Here is a link to the Owner's Manual available online: https://www.sevilleclassics.com/uploads/products/pdf_20110831145622_10111%20Tower%20Fan%20English%20Instruction%20Sheet%20091027.pdf

I haven't done it yet, but it should not be difficult at all. The fans are mounted to a hinged plate that opens. You can completely remove them from the unit. They are plugged into the power supply, not hard wired. So you simply unplug them, release a couple of latches that secure them to the hinged plate and take them out.

Absolutely. The back grill is held on by six medium screws and as screws go, I'd say they are pretty easy. It's nothing like removing the small, nearly welded on screws on a big box fan. I'd say it takes me a couple of minutes by hand, and no time at all with a power drill. Since you mention cleaning, I actually run the fan with the back cover off. The plastic blades are strong but a bit flexible and very light. Running on high speed I can stop it with my knuckles with no injury at all. This fan rocks.

There is the hum of the motor...but not very loud. There are no blades to clean inside....you just need to wipe the base of the fan (where the filter is so the air intake is good) and the round part of the fan I dust off as needed. Very easy.

I have not taken it apart but just unplug it and clean it with a powerful hand-held vacuum. I think you can take it apart, but I have osteoarthritis and it would be difficult for me.

You should have 1.) option for off, 2.) option for fan only to clean the machine and 3.) option for fan and rotation. Our customers always turn on the fan only button and think the unit is broken.. just make sure you tried the other way too.

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

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.

If you have a source of compressed air you can blow it clean. It's not really made to be taken apart and wiped clean.

I never tried to open mine & am not sure u should! ;) I use compressed air (like those cans sold for use on computers) & a vacuum & wipe it down. According to user manual: "The fan grilles are removable for cleaning by gently prying the grille from fan using a small screwdriver on the rim of the grille. (DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GRILLE). Use only a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the fan clean." http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/honeywell/hw628.html?p=6
