does the blade area get clean?

It is easy to clean, but I recommend at least rinsing it immediately after use, especially if you blend anything with a lot of sugar like fruit. If you can't rinse it right away, you may need to soak it for a little while, but I don't find that inconvenient. Also, my friend recently told me that she cleans her blender by putting soap and water into the blender and then turning it on.

The blades rinse completely clean and if you have a brush to clean with, yes, plus they swivel. If your smoothie isn't too thick, The drink stays in the glass and leaves nothing in the lid at all.

Sure. You can wash it in the sink....or put it in the dishwasher. I use my Back to Basics Blender Express for smoothies, so it really cleans up fast and easy. You can also use a small, soft bottle brush if there are areas you feel you cannot reach.

I handwash the blender. Have never had any problem with getting the blade area clean.

Yes,I never have any problem cleaning the blades. I really love my blender and use it a lot.

I use a brush when cleaning the blade area and also the spray on the sink. Just don't let it dry with food on it; that makes it a lot harder to get clean.

No problem. Don't put it in the dishwasher. I just rinse it after use and it is very clean. I haven't used it for thick stuff though.

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

YES! Rinsing it off or putting it in the dishwasher, just watch your fingers- the blades are sharp. We use it all the time and love it!

The blade is directly exposed (once you remove the vacuum attachment) but I don't see it getting clogged as long and the feathers are relatively dry.

No it does not. I have not found that to be a problem. It cuts clean and handles easily.

I found that if you take this and rapidly swish it around in the dishwater (with Dawn) that the blades come out clean without any danger to your hands. I then rinse it in very hot water and done! We don't have a dishwasher except me.

You can't clean stuff that get stuck between the blades. I threw mine away and wrote one of my only reviews ever for that very reason. Get a Broner. Works better AND you can clean it easily with a brush.

the blades screw out of the bottom for cleaning. Be sure to read the instructions on using the lid to unscrew the bottom! I use the blender weekly.

No, but it leaves chunks above the blade that don't get sliced and requires constant cleaning. Its very annoying.

No, it has groves and screws off the end, giving it ease in cleaning. Hope this helps.

I had no problems cleaning the blades... They clean easily... They never got clogged or stuck... It works amazingly well... The only thing I don't care for about it is that it fills up quickly... That's a pain, but then I have a very big yard.. It's worth every cent....

Russell, Good question. Yes, it does leave behind iron filings, which is why it's a good idea to sweep or vacuum the floor afterward, and wipe off the counter. The amount of iron filings is dependent upon the size of the blade, how dull it was, and the number of blades you sharpen in any given setting. However, the filings are very small and fine so not very noticeable if you're only sharpening one blade. Let me know if you have any other questions.

yes, but the blade itself leaves a small amt of streaking so I wouldn't buy this again.

I just use a basting brush to clean around and under the blade. There really isn't a reason for removing the blade. From time to time, I may use a damp paper towel to remove coffee dust that may accumulate over time.

No You can pull the blades out and clean them . There is also a slide bar that you pull up and down that will help clean the 3 wires inside the unit. I also use a can of air to clean the dust that I can not reach. Overall I have found this to be the best unit. Now I have 3 of them and they all work very well.

We have never tried to clean the blades, but it appears that the front grill is connected to the back grill by very small screws. We use this fan in our garage and prefer to use our "Patton industrial heavy duty air circulator" in the house. The Patton is noisier when on high, but it moves a lot more air than this MaxxAir.

rinse with water and detergent. then wipe with a napkin. just don't rub your fingers on the blade's edge.
