Does any part of the top come off that you can submerge to wash? Or is the top in direct contact with the food?

The top (red) is the power source. It doesn't come in contact with food because it fits into the clear plastic lid. I wipe it down after unplugging it and somtimes use a q-tip with alcohol in the crevasses just to be extra safe.

The only potential point for food to contact the top red motor unit is a 5/8" hole in the top center of the clear plastic lid where the shaft of the blade unit passes through. I have not found food getting onto the bottom of the motor unit to be a problem, but could be wiped with a damp cloth. Everything else is submersible/dish washer cleanable.

There are actually 4 parts. First you have the "bowl" where the food is chopped. The chopper blade can come out so you can wash it. Then there is a lid that you see that fits on top of the bowl. Last, is the burgundy colored motor that fits on top of the plastic lid covering. You will remove that when you are finished, remove the lid and empty your chopped food. It is super easy to clean. You will love it. I have actually started cooking more because of this little treasure. Good luck.

I've never tried the top, I hand wash the kid always concerned about the seal but the bottom is fine in there

Not exactly, no, but it's not difficult to wash the top as one solid piece.

No, the top part comes off, I ended up returning it, it wasn't sturdy and came damaged at multiple places. They offer to replace it but I couldn't wait.

No, it's part of the lid. It doesn't need to be washed though, just wipe it with a damp cloth if you need to.

I'm not sure if yours is rusted yet or if this is a what if question.....but I never wash mine in the dishwasher or submerge in water. I wash only the whisk or beaters tips and I've never had an issue. I've had mine for a few years and its still in great shape.

Only the bottom half could be placed in the dishwasher. The top half contains electrical components and mechanical components so I would not submerge or subject to heavy water spray.

The top"lid" doesn't come off, so no access from there...it has no point really. When you remove the reservoir the bottom unscrews for filling. I use a bottle brush/long handle scrubber with hot water and a DROP of dish soap. Hard to get all the soap out otherwise, especially without using a TON of water. Hope this helped :-)

That hasn't happened to mine and I've had it since August. I use it almost daily to pack my daughter's lunch so I hand wash it most of the time and the few times I put it in the dishwasher, it's always the top rack so this may be how I've been able to avoid that issue.

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.

The straw flips down to be level with the cap. I've not had any issues with it. I wash the top pretty frequently.

Wipe or clean it with a wet towel or cloth because you can't submerge it. It appears to be stainless steel on the inside so it's quite easy to clean.

The top doesn't screw on. It's a super tight fit. I don't take mine off every time. I occasionally do just to give a good cleaning, but never seems to be gunky inside. I hand wash and leave the drain flap open to dry.It holds super hot water. My suction worked fine. it came with the suction piece upside down. When I flipped it over it worked great. I loved mine. Even though my daughter isn't picky about her food temperature anymore I still use it to section off food.

The grill does disconnect from the base. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because of the heating element connection should not get wet. It is extremely easy to clean. I first wipe the grill off with a paper towel while still warm and then put it into warm soapy water and wipe clean or use a small brush on the grill making sure not to get the electrical connection wet. I have enjoyed the grill.

I've washed mine in the dishwasher. Just like tupperware though, top rack only.

The whole top comes off. That said, part of that top is hinged so you can open and drink. Keeps things very hot or cold.

Not the padding, I mean is easy because you can use just a damp cloth, but food get stuck in between, I ended up taking it off. Anyway you can machine wash it.
