Is it hard to clean the dicing kit?

No. There is a plastic pusher that comes with the dicer and most of the debris snaps out. You can use a tiny brush or a metal skewer to clean the rest. With soft vegetables like potato, you will not have to do anything more.

Mine has never required cleaning and I use it almost daily. I think a soft bristle brush should do the trick if you feel like cleaning.

Not at all! I have used it 4 times and still doesn't need to be cleaned. Naturally this will depend on the size of your home and length of use (per hour).

Like anything else, it has to be cleaned after each use. It's not hard to thoroughly clean and is a great machine.

I have yet to do a whole system clean, but as for washing the pot and filter holder it's not bad, though I use a qtip on the filter basket to get the corners:-)

It depends on how thorough you want to be. You can just run soapy water through the system and be done. I like to soak the nozzle parts, the hand piece, and hoses and scrub everything clean. To me, it's worth it to know it will be ready to go next time I drag it out.

It's not hard but rather annoying. If left without cleaning a couple of days (about 2-3) it starts to look dirty (lime spots). More than that and it looks pretty dirty. The set is actually very very nice and modern looking and I've got several compliments on it (off course I need to super clean it when guests are over).

No, is easy. And after whashing still has the sterilizarion, which garente deep cleaning!

No but I have not found it to be difficult to clean. You may need to soak overnight at times

The Doulton customer service recommended a moderate scrubbing, I use a hard plastic pot scrub sponge. In a house with 6 people, I end up cleaning it once every month and a half or so. Just try to scour any discoloration.

It comes with easy cleaning instructions. The users manual is very clear on everything. Yes, I would recommend purchasing a cleaner/descaler

Not at all difficult. I no longer have the cleaner so I can't give you many details as I don't recall from doing it. Nevertheless, it was quite easy and did resolve the issue.

Not yet. Like any tool keep it clean. No problems so far but mine is only a few months old

Don't put anything in the dishwasher and do NOT use bleach on any of the parts as it will pit and discolor the parts. It doesn't take long to clean them up with soapy water and dry them. The hardest thing to clean is the grinder plate (with all the holes) and that can be cleaned quickly by using your sprayer in your sink. Use a toothpick to dislodge stubborn bits. I store my blades and plates in a Ziploc bag with a small bag of dessicant to absorb moisture. I also wrap the parts in brown paper that prohibits rust. Congratulations you've chosen a great grinder!

No!!! We have had this waffel maker for months. The grandchildren use it and we have never had a problem cleaning it. Highly recomend this waffel maker

After unplugging, while still warm, I use a very damp paper towel to wipe off grease, holding down over crusted parts to soften up. Then a sponge with soapy water. Wipe down and then air dry. Never had a problem. Not necessary to scrape using utensil. Cleaning sounds like a hassle, but this could not be easier!

I have taken it all apart. That is the only way I could get it clean. I am a bit disappointed with the mixer as a whole. I hope you enjoy yours!
