how do you wash the lid with the pullcord, seems it would take a while for the cord to dry properly?

I just give it a rinse and put it away. I don't submerse it in water. The cord is kind of nylon so it dooesn't absorb much water.

Interesting question. I've never considered this. I've had this spinner for many years and love it and just bought a second one for a second home I simply wash or rinse the lid and bowl and dry them with a towel and store them - but I place the top to the side an inch or so to allow for air circulation.

We wash in normal sink soapy dishwater, rinse and put on plate dryer rack or pad. Must pull out the cord and lay it out. It can be draped over other dishes. Dries overnight. Hope this helps.

I just wash it in warm soapy water and let it air dry. I never had a problem with mold, and I've been using the MiU spinner for about 5 years now. Hope that helps!

That's never been a problem; I just rinse the lid and put it in the dish drainer. The cord is nylon or something that dries easily. I've never tried the pump-style spinners, however.

This can opener is so efficient, it looks as though where it removes the lid off of cans, is where the factory puts the seal to seal the lid onto the can. It does not pierce the lid allowing its contents to spill or in some cases squirt everywhere. So, it has never gotten any food or whatever on it, hence the need to wash it has never risen. I just wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth and allow it to dry, and store it back into the drawer. I don't know what mechanism is under the top handle, so, if the manufacturer suggests that it not be washed, dishwasher or by hand, I would comply.

Soak the lid in mild dish detergent and very hot water in the "open" position. A soft bristled flexible head toothbrush is useful. After soaking and brushing, while underwater, flip the open/close knob several time then rinse for about 10 minutes under warm water again flipping the open close knob back and forth.

The lid is seasoned when you get it. You wash it by using hot water and then wipe it dry. You can add more layers of seasoning by lightly coating the lid with oil or shortening and then heating the lid to the point where the oil starts to smoke. Shut the heat off and let it cool down at its own rate. As many layers of seasoning that you desire can be added with that method. After washing with water heat the lid until the water dries.

I've washed and dried this thing multiple times. No issues. Naturally, don't plug it in until you're sure it's fully 100% dry.

No help -- mine is still in perfect condition. It takes a LOT of room to wash it.

We just use a bucket. It doesn't matter at all, the knit cord is all that needs to go into the solution. Dipping the cord straight down & lifting it straight up without getting the loop all tangled is the main idea. Container could be many different shapes or sizes & still accomplish that.

Yes I have. It it is heavy but my washer has never broke. I've also have but my blanket in the dryer for 20 mins and rotate the blanket put in for another 20 mins. Pull it out and air dry the blanket the rest of way.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

To clean it you just rinse it out with warm water, the cord is detachable so it's easy to clean.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

Just like a paint bucket. Use a flat screw driver or flat bar to go around the lid and gently lift until the lid comes loose.

sometimes they lose grip while waiting in storageyou MUST get the little disc WET, rinse it in the sinkwipe it off and let it air dry a few minutesthen lift the handle and place it where you want and suction it downit will still be loose, but after about 30mins as it dries it will get SUPER sticky

No I haven't. The lid comes apart and I always take it apart to let it dry.

We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.

There is a pull tab on the lid that may require a pair of pliers to tear it around and free it from the main part of the lid. Also, I think you have to use a pair of scissors or a knife to get the tear started. It is not easy.

I use my with the cord and had a sweater that was real fuzzy. It took an hour to remove the fuzz and had no problems. I just emptied it when it was full. My mother borrowed it and wants to order one for her own.
