Does the base unscrew for cleaning or do you have to put the whole bottle with the base in the dishwasher?

Yes, the bottom comes off for easy cleaning. They are a little tight when brand new .

The base unscrews for cleaning but I advise you not to waste your money on this poorly constructed product that does not work. Read the reviews on Amazon.

I've not tried to put it in the dishwasher, but it's easy to clean as long as you rinse it out right away. The directions say to just rinse it out and fill it part-way with water and run it for a bit and that's it. For smoothies, that's really all you need. No need to disassemble.

It's super easy to clean - just use a bottle brush and hand wash. The top just unscrews and there are no little parts to remove and keep track of. I highly recommend this product.

It comes apart and I just throw it in some soapy water (I use Dawn) and it comes clean. Every time I refill my bottle I clean it..

I've put ours in the dishwasher, comes out just fine. You did have to take it apart.

The ones with metal bases are, but not the all-plastic ones. Bottles (any) wash poorly in a dishwasher, though, so just a rinse is all that's needed.

The manufacturer doesn't recommend dishwasher cleaning. The crank is cleaned by the gasket when it is removed after stirring, so only the lid and gasket would need to be cleaned. I keep the lid and the gasket on the top of the jar in the fridge until I'm done with the whole jar of peanut butter, but you could remove the lid and gasket and put the original lid back on and just save the Witmer lid in your drawer for the next use.

We just slide the sleeve off and wash the bottle in the dishwasher and the sleeve in some soapy water in the sink. Easy to do. We have two of the bottles and love them!

I just put it in the tub and spray it with the shower nozzle (hand held) and it gets clean. Let it dry for a couple hours before re-inserting it into the unit. I have never out it in the dishwasher.

No clue get a bottle and try. Turn it upside down in your utensil tray and run dishwasher as hot as it goes. Usually Sani Wash. It will use the entire bottle it is not multi use. My dishwasher came out looking all new lol. I did not open until next day.

Yes. You take off the blue cover (the bottle will still be sealed) and put it in the silverware bin upside down. Do everything you can to make sure the dishwasher water is hot - adjust settings (you don't need heated drying, though) and run the tap until the water is hot - and it will melt the plug during the cleaning cycle. It does seem like a bit much, but it works.

It is dishwasher safe. The bottle part doesn't fit in the top shelf of my dishwasher, so I put it on the bottom. I put the lid on the top shelf. I've had this bottle for over a year and have had no problems.

I am confused when you ask about a "white insert". If you are talking about the round piece of plastic in the "feeder" section where the bottle screws in, I have never removed that part for cleaning. I just rinse the bottle and the bottom part in hot soapy water.

I just cleaned mine actually...I just took it apart entirely and hand washed it like any other bottle...make sure u don't wash the filter though...that was just how I did it!!

It is very easy to clean! I just stick mine in the dishwasher since the bottle is dishwasher safe!

I put all of it in the dishwasher. The only issue I've run into is that you get a film in the end of the nipple so I use my pinkie to rub it off.

I've never washed the bottle part in the dishwasher since it said not to on the insert (the lid seems to be machine washable), but here's a trick for cleaning the inside: Drop an Efferdent tablet in and wait about 20-30 minutes. Then just rinse it out well. The Efferdent is anti-bacterial and the foaming action cleans the inside thoroughly. It's cheap, too!
