is it difficult to clean?

It is very easy to clean, but we do have a large sink in our basement that we use. I also bought the cleaning brushes that makes the job very easy. It is much easier to clean than the drink well platinum that we had before.

Very easy to clean, takes about 5 minutes to clean everything. I also bought the brush set to help clean this fountain.

All the parts are pretty simple, so there are not many difficult crevices to get into and try to clean. That was one reason I chose this model and the stainless is way easier than the plastic.

Takes me 10-15 minutes to drain, disassemble, clean, re-assemble, refill. I do it once a week, easily worth it for my cat's health. He's drinking LOTS more water with this fountain.

Very difficult. Lots of parts. And even if you do it once a week it has a ton of slime all over pieces. When we saw the slime my husband asked me if I would drink out of it. I said of course not. So if I wouldn't want to drink out of it than I wouldn't want my cats to drink it. It's seems like a breeding ground for bacteria. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats drinking from it. And that is way too much diarhea to be cleaning if they all got sick. Plus we want healthy animals of course.

The Drinkwell 360 Stainless Steel is actually a lot easier to clean than the other fountains we have had. The only thing you really have to be careful of is cleaning the motor once in a while since cat hair does seem to clog it after a while.

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 it's very simple to clean. I like the hood in general,really not bad at all, it's just not as powerful as we hoped...good luck!

Since I am a single guy I clean it every two months. Yes it is easy to clean. Takes me all but 10 minutes.

Yes, it is easy to clean. The base (where it sits) is plastic and can be easily rinsed.

No, I do not consider it hard to clean. It is just that this is a large juicer, it juices extremely fast and very efficiently and because it is large, the parts to clean are large, making it bulky to clean, but not difficult and not time-consuming. You could probably easily juice 10 eight-ounce glasses of juice in this juicer in a matter of a few minutes. I do recommend that you keep the little black plastic chute on the stainless steel spout. If not, it's powerful enough that when the juice comes out - it will splatter all over you. That little chute directs the juice downward into your glass and away from YOU.

No... not hard to clean at all. As stated in my previous review (I've evidently become an expert on this device), best way to clean it is to first rinse out with hot water, then put in more hot water almost to the top and turn on the whirring thingy. This will "swirl" the water around. If you still have any residue (it will be near the top), then just give it a swipe with a wet dishrag around the inside edge and down about as far as your fingers will reach. Be careful not to touch the little whirring thingy (paddle). Dunno what would happen, but just don't. Box is long gone, so don't remember about instructions, but these washing instructions have worked for me - every day - for nearly a year now. Just don't let any residue dry out on the inside and you shouldn't have any probs. Bottom is flexible rubber and removable... it's where the batteries go. Just don't submerge or leave to set in standing water. I have already bought one for all my kids for Christmas. Great product, especially for the money. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems. I actually don't really use it since I think it's difficult to clean and seems like it doesn't do too much.

Pretty easy. The moisture makes it a bit tough and the more pressure you apply the more scrubbing action you get. But my floors get pretty dirty and I need to really scrub.

Not particularly hard to clean! I use a fibercloth with some stainless steel liquid cleaner. I really like the sensor reheat function which automatically reheats without additional input.

It is very easy to clean. Sometimes I just rinse with hot water & sometimes in hot soapy water, then rinse & put on towel or in dish rack to dry.

I didn't find it hard to clean at all. The scraper makes it easy to get it out of the jar. I just put some dishwashing liquid and a little water and pulse.

Yes, I find that it is, in fact easy to clean. like anything that would have fat or grease in it, you deal with that factor, but the pieces with this separator come apart and with soap, come clean easily. especially so if placed and washed in the dishwasher.

No, It is not difficult to clean it. I think it's as easy as clean another recipient!

NO NO it is easy to clean just follow the instructions of what parts you can put in the dishwasher. You will love it. I love mine; and again it is easy to clean.

No but I've never had to clean mine. If you do, you could use an old toothbrush.

No, it is pretty easy to clean. I have had no issues with gunk in the corners and have loved the sink.
