How difficult is it to remove the top for cleaning?

It's pretty easy to remove. It just unsnaps from a point on each side. Honestly, I never need to take the top off. The opening is big enough for me to get in and scoop.

Beverly, It's not difficult to remove the top.....it's attached by two clips on each side. So you just flip them up and lift off the top. My only complaint is that the top really should have a handle of TOP so it would be easy to move the unit around and to just lift it off from the base instead of having to lift from where the two pieces meet. Also this is an odd shape and very large, so there are no liners that fit it. Even so we really like it....it holds a lot of litter and the shape fits perfectly in a corner. I scoop out once/twice a day and I can do this w/o having to take the top off. Then once a week I use a large kitchen trash bag, dump out all the litter and replace it. Hope this helps! Kim

I don't click the latches so the lid just sets on top and I can just lift it very easy.

Easy to remove top; just two snap latches on either side. I put the entire base inside a large (44 gal. type) garbage bag... the latches are on top and grab onto the lip of base....for daily cleaning flip latches - lift off lid. Weekly, when time to toss used litter, I peel bag from around base so that what was "outside of bag" (lining the base interior) is now inside.. tie and toss.

I found it very easy to clean. The entire top comes off easily and the base is one solid piece that can be washed out without any difficulty.

Hi: No...neither of those things can be removed, but there's absolutely no problem in cleaning the inside of the tumbler. The top comes off - and can be cleansed separately - but with the top off, you have full access to the inside. If this doesn't answer your question, please let me know and I'll try again.

The velour top does not come off. Don't think they are that hard to clean, brush down or with a damp cloth.

The top does not come off. You can just dust it like you would any piece of wood.

It is not hard to clean at all. All the parts are removeable, even the kettle.

Yes it's easy to clean. The top can be taken apart easily and completely cleaned. No problem to reassemble it. I do it even while at work without taking much time.

I don't think you can remove it without destroying the bottom. Why would you want to remove it? It is really great like it is,

Yes. I've never done it, but if you unscrew the top it should removable from the bottom.

I have not attempted to take it apart but it certainly looks like it would be difficult. It is also difficult to clean but has given me no trouble and I would replace it if this one would get "broken".

I find it is very easy. I just run my vacuum hose over it or use a duster. I think you can even take the front or back grille off to clean more thoroughly.

Removal is not a problem. Take something sharp, lift one corner of it until you can grasp it with your fingers, and simply pull it off. It comes off quite easily. Best Regards, Rich

The adhesive strips are very strong, but I think if you were able to get the top off, you could use Goo Gone to remove any remaining residue. Might take some elbow grease though too.

Not difficult at all, the is a tiny brush that is used for the screen which is probably the hardest thing to clean but if you really found it not useful you could probably just grab a small (and harder) brush at any store and scrub it that way. All of the other pieces are easy to clean.

Its really hard to get it off if you don't clean it right away. After a distillation, once it has cooled down, I just use a paper towel and wipe out the container. That seems to keep things pretty nice.

The top is an enclosed unit with only opening for the pull string. I just wipe it off with a dish rag and dry it off

The top is easy to get off. It has a Silicon Seal that holds it inside, not outside. It is not like the cheap plastic tops that "Pop" on and off, that shoot across the room when you finally get them off. Even after a week of vacation, when I come back to the office, the top is crusty from dried coffee, still no issues getting it off.
