Can the tube be removed for cleaning?

There are 4 screws in the bottom but it doesn't look like they have anything to do with the tube. I have not seen how or if the tube comes out. It's definitely not easy removal if at all. I will be cleaning mine by soaking the whole thing. Long brush. I really like the feeder though especially Because I feed peanuts and my bigger birds can't get to them but my chickadees and nuthatches can.

There are four eye screws at the bottom to remove the interior assembly. Then there are two push in plugs to remove the tube from the interior base. It would appear that you only need to push the two plugs to remove the tube but for me the plugs failed. I had to remove two more screws from the bottom assembly to get to the plugs and put them back in place.

I'venever removed it, but probably with a screwdriver. One thing we had problems with was we had two birds get their feet caught between two bars where the two halves were put together. Since then we took some strong metal duct tape to wrap around the bars to prevent this from happening again. Just wanted to warn you of this error in the construction.

as with any vacuum, the intake tube can get clogged, the manual show how to clean out.

I don't think you can. The frame doesn't seem to unscrew or come off in any way. Maybe compressed air??? I have a pop filter so cleaning is less of an issue.

No I don't believe they can be removed for cleaning. They are stuck on there really well.

YES, it needs to be removed, it was a bit hard too. Did not know this before so I didn't have good tools to use for the removal.

I imagine you can, but am not entirely sure. Sometimes you need to scrub the inside of the mouthpiece though. I use this set for cleaning OXO Good Grips Water Bottle Cleaning Set and quite useful for maintenance.

You can definitely remove the wheel & just put tubes or a window on the side that the wheel is attached. I have the Ovo Suite attached to this & rearrange the tubes/homes every time I clean it! :)

yes, it is removeable. it's on a typical lap ring that sits on the bulb post like most typical lamps. which makes it easy for cleaning.

No cleaning solution comes with it. I use dish soap, which my tube manufacturer recommends.

Just lift it off of the back. No problem. The part that is hard to keep cleaned is the heater part. Minerals collect and form a crust on it.

Yes, you can opt to remove the tube fully. Once you are done sterilizing the unit the tube just slides back in easily.

yes - the attachments work on the end of the tubes. Watch out this will lose power when the chamber is full but more importantly when the cloth bag is dusty. When you clean the chamber use a more powerful vac to clean off the cloth filter too. You could rinse it too but that seems like to much each time to me.

one cant reall clean the inside but the small tube can be cleaned with running water. I bought for my daughter who was going to have some surgery she does not use it now

No, it's built in and cannot be removed. It does work great, and can be cleaned periodically

Don't know why you would want to. Had mine for a long time, years, and never need to remove cover. If nothing get's in you don't need to clean it. But I'm sure you could. I'm not.

In my experience the tube should be clear of soil . . take a coat hangar, knitting needle, chopstick, etc, and gently poke the soil loose, then rinse and flush it out.
