How much of a pain is it to clean?

No problem. Wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Check for dried on residue if it's not washed right after use.

If the dough is thick and sticky, it will take a little effort. You must pull the dough off with your fingers. Still love it for incorporating candied fruit into lebkuchen. Otherwise it is easy to clean.

To wash it, no more than the regular beater. It probably depends more on the batter you are using. To get your batter off, if it is a thick batter, say with raisins or nuts, I use a small spatula to scrape the batter off. I'm still liking the product, in fact when I received the emailed question. I was just getting ready to use it for banana bread. It's well worth the price.

I'd have to suppose it would depend on what you mixed with it. A recipe with molasses in it is going to to be more difficult to clean than one with sugar. Personally, Dawn, hot water and a small natural bristle brush does the trick for me.

It's not that easy, but not hard either! Its easy to wash but cleaning up takes a long time! If u wash it without get rid of the grinded particles of vegetables/fruits, ur sink will be all clogged up! That would take time to clean! Except that, the rest is pretty easy! I would say it takes 4 minute for the the whole clean up procedure, after a week or two of use! Eventually u'll do it without even noticing the time! While u cleaning it up, put the juice in the fridge, cold juice is always better :-)

No, it is not hard at all. It seldom requires more than washing it with hot soapy water and a good rinse

No not hard to clean, however ours has already died, due to our cat pushing it over a few times. we did love it though.

You can do that, but cleaning would be tough.. so would not suggest to do that

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.

Not too bad really. My son's 3+ and I still need to clean it up for him after he's done. Nothing too difficult to clean up with honestly

No problem so far, but I find difficult to clean, especially between the two layer of glass. Mine came already assembled.

It is not hard at all. Just rinse with warm water after use. Parts can easily seperate. If busy use spoon to trash pulp and soak in a seperate sink or bowl and rinse when I have time.

Not at all! I have used it 4 times and still doesn't need to be cleaned. Naturally this will depend on the size of your home and length of use (per hour).

No, that is the biggest drawback. it takes me about 10 minutes of scrubbing with soap and water. the screen is the worst to get all the fine bits of pulp out of. even after all that (owned for about a year) it is getting a brown color on the clear juicer housing that I can't scrub off. Having researched other types that are somewhat easier to clean I still come back to this type because it makes great juice. I'm addicted to my morning juice.

Cleaning is really kind of a pain with most juicers. I tend to make a lot and freeze some in individual servings because the clean up is kind of a pain.

no not much, can use one side to scrub and the other to wipe it up. If there is more than I like I just squeeze it out and rewipe once.

Hi, I don't think it is more difficult to clean than any other brand. The dust is really no big deal. My issues with it are the cost, since I am not so sure we needed to spend so much on a humidifier. Also the settings are tough to manipulate, I think. I set it to 90 percent humidity, and it goes settles on 60 and stays there. So I am not so sure the controls really mean anything. Otherwise it's doing the job.

The bristles are soft, kind of like a brand new toothbrush. But when they scrub on the skin, depending on if you have sensitive skin or not(I do), it may hurt quite a bit when you first start scrubbing, and you'll have to endure the pain until your skin gets used to the pain from the scrubbing. (My skin used to turn red from the scrubbing, but not anymore)

Personally I don't find it difficult to clean. With one cat I can clean it about once a week, maybe slightly more often, which works out to about every time I need to fill it, too.

Doesn't hurt it to clean with whatever cleaner of your choice and a soft brissled brush, just make sure you don't get water in the handle (battery compartment) and make sure you dry it thoroughly.
