Removing the bowl without making a mess: Am I missing something?

Do I remove the flat beater first? YES, and then tap it off into the mix, like you were going to do anyhow later........

I't very easy to clean because the two metal bowls just drop down into open holes which each have a little thumb indentation so getting the bowls out is easy; to me it's a great set-up.

Yes，I met the same problem，I have to change a bigger bowl or put it in a cup instead of bowl.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

With the previous version of this I had that same problem. I just put a good-sized piece of clear packing tape on the underside to hold the bowl against the feeder. Problem solved. :)

I just made my first batch of pasta tonight with a used machine. It was pre-assembled so I didn't see how it all went together. When I took it apart, I couldn't get the rotary housing out. But I had not removed the mixing bowl. Once I removed the bowl the housing slid out to the side easily. It does not pull out to the front! So remember you have to remove everything else first - including the bowl before you can remove the housing. Look at the parts diagram to know what everything means! LOL

The bowl is stainless steel and is not removable. In fact, the top of the machine is all one piece with the bowl shaped out of that single piece. It's not hard to clean though. Pour in some warm soap water, scrub clean with a soft sponge, and then use the sponge to get the water out. Wipe dry when you're done.

You can but I don't. Like the other commenter, I like the bowl so much and don't want to scratch it.

I would not advise not removing the bracket. If it were on a flat surface, the flat surface at the bottomof the bowl is so much smaller than the bowl it could become unbalanced and tip. I have had six birdsat one time flapping in the bath together, so I would not advise removing the bracket

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)

I leave mine in all the time. It's easy to remove and then use the scraper to put the larger sized pieces down the drain. The way it's built the smaller sizes of food goes down the drain without removing it. Mine sits flush or a little below the drain.

I had this problem too. Went to Chefs; they tightened the gray ring and showed me how to tighten it more by holding the bowl down and turning it. Also when you unlock it, don't push on it hard.

It all depends on how long you have the oven running. Somethings are microwaved and the handle stays cool. Others require the use of a pot-holder to remove the bowl using the handle.

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.

Honestly, I have used a paper towel to the inside of the bowl each time i fill it... other than that the scaling i have not found out how to clean off the inside without taking it apart...

If you rinse it immediately, it is very easy. Using the small bowl gets the big bowl dirty as well, so no matter what, you have to wash all pieces, regardless of what you use.

I do not. If your bowl is adjusted for the metal blade, the silicone is flippy enough to run over the surface and clean. When they say "adjust the bowl" they are talking about getting the bowl positioned so that the blade is close to the bowl but does not rub. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-adjust-the-bowl-height-139029
