How difficult is it to clean? Can you take it apart at all (especially the front & rear panels)?

I ran mine all winter last year and it worked great. I vacuumed the front and back vents, then followed that up with a blast from my air compressor. That seemed to be more than enough to thoroughly clean it.

We have not used it enough or had it long enough to worry about that. I am not sure that I have ever cleaned the inside of a small heater and don't recall noticing that it ever got dirty.

I cleaned mine when I received it, read the instructions that came with it, basically can be cleaned easily with typical vacuum attachment, I have several types of ceramic heaters and have found that cleaning them every at least every once a week during the winter is the best way to keep them long running and safe. It also keeps down the burnt hair smell that these heaters can some times have. Even brand new out of the box is always best to clean before first usage and after first time used. I purchased during the summer so cleaned, tested and put it away till winter.

No its not difficult to clean, if you have purchased or thinking about it.. very good choice.

It would be easy to clean as long as the mess didn't sit too long and have time to soak in. It doesn't have to be removed to be cleaned but it is so easily removed it is just as easy to pull it out to clean as it is to clean while in the vehicle.

it is a little tricky but the front metal grill can be removed by prying at the four little plastic tabs (I have done it without breaking the tabs). best bet is to keep it in place and use a high powered vacuum w/brush to clean the front and back grill.

Take it apart it is not that hard to do.The plastic piece is usually broken if it needs replace.These are notorious for breaking.I replaced mine three times (granted twice were still under warranty).good luck

Cleaning is not difficult. I always hand wash it however, I have not tried to use the dishwasher. It cleans easily. I actually have two pans - one at my primary home and one at a second home. I made the mistake of leaving one of them on the cooktop with the burner left on after cooking french toast. It damaged the pan in a way that browned the cook surface. I cannot get it cleaned back to the original look, but I see that as a problem I caused - not the manufacturer. The burned pan still works perfectly fine - it just doesn't look as nice as a new pan.

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!!).

yeah it's pretty easy to clean, very actually. Just about any cleaner will do. I always just used a bit of diluted dish soap and water, or for lighter spills just a wet towel works.

The back and part of the front (center piece and bottom piece) are a soft vinyl which can be wiped with a soft damp cloth. The remaining two areas in the front are a soft, stretchy nylon material. You can wipe this material as well with a soft damp cloth. I have not had any problems with keeping it clean.

Yes, everything comes apart and it's all plastic so it's easily washed. You just wipe off the main unit with the motor which can't be immersed.

Yes you have to take it apart, the grill and drip pan sit inside the base, so you just have to clean the grill and drip pan. The grill is a little annoying to clean, but usually cleans pretty easily. We really like cooking on it, especially in the winter when we really want grilled food!

The grill does not come apart so that is why there is a small challenge to clean the grates. It isn't to hard to clean just have to work at it a bit. I use small soft brush to clean the grates. I have had this grill for over a year and I love it.

It is not difficult to clean and comes with a small brush to help. There are chemical you can get to break down mineral deposits it that is a problem. Most parts are easy just to rinse off or wipe with a cloth.

It's not at all hard to clean. It's two parts that click into each other so you just take it apart.

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

Hello, not difficult but you will get dirty hands. Whether it's the front or rear you have to remove the whole wheel by pulling the wheel shaft out ( There may be u tube descriptions on this). The rim then comes apart in two halves. I' ve replaced the tube which I also got from Amazon ( cheap ). You can try to glue a patch on the tube but I never had a good experience with patches. Cheers.

It's very easy to clean , the parts that you need to clean are 3 parts. I washed them in 2 minutes. :)
