Does the inlet cover on your model look like cardboard and if so how does the inlet cover hold up to being cleaned?

I have no idea where the inlet cover is located. Everyhing in my unit lookss like every microwave I have owned, I have no problems cleaning it.

It is not cardboard...seems more like some sort of metal. I've had this model for 6 months or so and I am very pleased with the ease of its functions. I clean the entire inside, including inlet cover, with a warm sponge and it comes out like new.

I'm sorry to hear that but I don't have that issue with mine. I'm very pleased with the way my machine operates. Maybe check to make sure there are no clogs in the cover opening.

Mine was not in a plastic shell, but the inlet fitting was in a small box. Everything else was loose. All worked OK, though.

I haven't had to clean it yet. I keep marine stable and carb. cleaner year around. Starts every time. which I do at least twice a year and let it run for 1/2 to one hour.

Very well! And i just run hot water through it and polish with a soft cloth. I just googled cleaning options. There are other ways, but that was the easiest way i found.

I had the same problem with the original one. This one fits well, but you may need to either shorten the 3 screws that hold it on or put washers under the screw heads. I've not used my too much since I got it so I really can't say that it will hold up or not. I did notice that the hook and loop pads really stick to this, so be careful when removing the sanding sheet as you can probably start to tear the foam.

Forgive me but the flapper housing may not be made of plastic, as I mentioned it was in my initial post. From the picture it appears to be metal. (My old vent fan's exhaust was made of plastic--I confused the two.)

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.

Wow, didn't have that problem. I wash mine and let it dry sans plastic shield so it will dry thoroughly before I put it away.

My tank was a mess. I've only used it once so far and it is spotless. It's been about 2 months at least. I'm glad I bought it!

I had that same problem with the Essence/Elite models...However the heads on this easy clean model are different you just pop the new one in and go. So less chance of water getting down in side and creating that nasty build up we have to clean every once in a while. I believe this is a much better design and I've only been using for about 2 days so I'll check back in a month and post my findings.

Mine has become slightly discolored but i wont say dirty. I wipe it regularly and it still looks very good.

Plastic. I hate to admit it, but I have not tried to clean it. The inlet hole is maybe 1" in diameter, so I suppose you could get a washcloth in there and shake it up. There will be no getting your hand in there to clean it, though. On a side note, I LOVE this diffuser!!!

Yes, I have washed mine several times and initially did not remove it from the cover (let's face it, the dirt leaks through onto the foam as well). I put it on a gentle cycle in the machine and then had it dry in the hot sun. It looks as good as new.

Not quite sure what the problem is: Yes, there are three parts to the "filter" which disassemble for cleaning purposes, but should be rethreaded together before using. I'm not aware of any plastic inside the unit.

I havent cleaned it yet-i am not sure there is any cleaning. It gets very hot and the steam gets through tough creases. I love this iton, i would be surprised if there is a better one!

I don,t think That is normal. I've had mine for two years so I don,t remember if it was covered with plastic or not, but it was clean. If it,s covered in sawdust , that would lead me to believe it is reconditioned. Ask for a new one. My first saw came upside down and oil was leaking out the top of motor. I sent it back and new one came a week later. Been loving it , every time I use it.
