How do you take apart the top for cleaning?

I have the old model, but there are screws on the top that you can take out to get to the inside of the lid for thorough cleaning. Hope that helps!

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!

You just have to take the top off, clean out the bottom. Then just wipe the shelves off

There is a slit at the top right. Just use your fingernail or a small screw driver and pry it open.

If you a little handy, you can absolutely take this apart. It's not "meant" to be taken apart, but I have taken mine apart to clean and repair.

You cannot take it apart to clean. It is a nightmare to clean and quite honestly it did not perform very well either. I do not recommend this product.

Just lift the top using the handle and then dump the bottom "bin" to empty the shreds. After you empty the bin, just replace the top and you're ready to shred again.

Push it down in the hole towards the top of the lid and then pull it out. To replace it, lay the new one it and slowly work it into the area between the top part of the lid and the middle area.

Take the tank out and you will see 2 wing nuts on the top turn them and the back part will lift off then you can clean it with vinager and water. Easy!!!

You have to unscrew it like a top. Hold the top grooves with your hands and twist it off, hope this helps. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it is just now falling apart, need to buy a new one!!

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

Twist the top off while pulling up. Simultaneously pull the bottom down with the other hand. It's tight, but unless you got one that was maybe squashed it shouldn't require a hammer.

Pull the rubber off completely. On the plastic there are three tabs pull the top on then do each side

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

Unscrew the top lid. Just unscrew the lid, which might be a bit difficult, but it will unscrew. After you take off the lid itself, you have to sort of pry the inner lid up and off. No unscrewing necessary for that. Just work it out. You might try using a butter knife to get that part loose. NOT A STEAK KNIFE!! You'll poke your eye out!!!

You just unscrew the top and I use a teaspoon to load it. Not to difficult.
