How do you open this to clean it. I cannot get it to open.

I just lifted it apart where the opening is on the side. It just snaps together.

I used to hold each part with one hand and twist it. But I don't have it anymore. It is really a poor made product. Not easy to clean up and got broken after a very short period of time. Such a disappointment. I hope you are luckier than I was!

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

The top should turn and separate in the middle. I use a straight edge razor and pry the middle open.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Assuming you have the screws out of it, it just lifts open on both top and bottom. You have to get a fingernail or something thin under the black surface to pop it open.

I just had the same problem. GRRRR What did you end up doing to get it open?

I think the "trick" is to first open up the small top opening of the jar lid to make sure a vacuum hasn't formed inside the jar. That worked for me for that one time when it was difficult to open. The lady of the house ran into that problem only once, and no complaints from her after that one incident.

First, it DOES feel like you're going to break it when you try to open it. But here's how you do it... After you twist the metal sleeve to unlock it and slide it off, you then pull the entire black plastic top section (that the metal outer sleeve was covering) off from the clear part. There should have been instructions w/your unit that might explain better than I am here.

Take the rubber seal out and wash it also . Once open. I hope I was of some help to u. I had the same problem.

Yours must just be stiff. I just get a firm grip on it and turn the top opening to the left. However, you will then need to re-pressurize it by pumping it up. Maybe you have too much pressure in it - try opening the little pressure valve first and then it should unscrew more easily.

Hi, it can be a little awkward to open. On the handle side (not the hinge side) under the handle there is a stand, the the handle which is longer has a lip ( Make sure you hold the handle at the tip), then pull the bottom, where the stand is away from the handle that juts out a little farther. Hope this helps

Just check youtube on how to open it so you don't break it.It's very east once you get the hang of it.

Mine doesn't open either. Very frustrating. I think a lot of people have the same issue. Hopefully they will sort out their packaging.

It is a bit hard to open, so give it a good pull. Hope that helped and you get it open.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

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!!
