how hard is it to clean the inside of this unit? with a silver interior it seems it would be hard to clean splatters.

I just use a wet rag. It's important to wash as soon as you can after it cools.

It is not hard or time consuming. I just take a dry paper towel and wipe the inside. They suggest cleaning it when you change the essential oil scent so that's when I do it. I have had mine over a year.

It's not too difficult. I just used a spatula. It's a little difficult to clean though.

I didn't find it hard to clean at all. The scraper makes it easy to get it out of the jar. I just put some dishwashing liquid and a little water and pulse.

We found that the moisture dissipates, so we just listen to the "sizzle". Some dishes, like veggies, may take a minute or two more, but it's well worth it. The splatter is so much less than with any other screen that cleanup is much easier. Not seeing through to the food ... no problem, we just tilt the screen & take a peek. Just now, when I asked my better half, she asked me to see if multiple sizes were available (that's a seal of approval).

In my opinion, yes - very easy to clean. When in prep mode, I've often just rinsed the bowl and blade(s) and moved on to the next thing to chop/slice. I've washed everything in the top rack of my dishwasher and the bowl doesn't come out clouded or spotty. The unit itself is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth to remove splatter etc. Believe me, I wouldn't use it as much as I do if it were a pain-in-the...to clean.

Don't put anything in the dishwasher and do NOT use bleach on any of the parts as it will pit and discolor the parts. It doesn't take long to clean them up with soapy water and dry them. The hardest thing to clean is the grinder plate (with all the holes) and that can be cleaned quickly by using your sprayer in your sink. Use a toothpick to dislodge stubborn bits. I store my blades and plates in a Ziploc bag with a small bag of dessicant to absorb moisture. I also wrap the parts in brown paper that prohibits rust. Congratulations you've chosen a great grinder!

Had the same issue. I could live with that but not the interior cleaning issue. Food results great but after about four or five meals interior was impossible to clean. Started to set off my smoke alarms. Decided to return it.

I don't know for sure but I'm able to clean any splatter off the walls with a damp sponge. {Make sure you unplug first.} I especially like how easy it is to clean the roasting tray. I over cooked some potatoes and thought I ruined the tray...but it cleaned up easily.

Since you can't use cleaners I make sure I clean every other day with paper towels and the provided brush for the silver disk. Once you have a build up I do use a soft brush on the white plastic parts,, but NOT on the silver disk. They sell an additive for hard water build up, which may be your problem. I hope this helps.

I own one and it is NOT difficult to clean. Initially I scrubbed the parts with ajax to get rid of the layer mold. It was difficult and took a lot of time to do... but later I realized if I soak the main three component parts in a bleach water mixture, there is NO SCRUBBING TO DO! It does a great job and the mold gets killed off by the bleach everywhere in the unit! After a few hours, just rinse the parts, that's all! No rubbing or scrubbing!!!

It has a coating so I imagine it will clean splatter fairly easy. I have not had any trouble cleaning it but I have only cooked chicken & fish & toast. I have not tried pizza.

Not particularly hard to clean! I use a fibercloth with some stainless steel liquid cleaner. I really like the sensor reheat function which automatically reheats without additional input.

I can't say it is the easiest thing in the world to clean, but not too bad. What I do is take a spoon to scrape the inside where the fuel is which only takes a few seconds.As for the grill, I take a regular kitchen knife (not a sharp one), and I use it to scrape the top and bottom and in between the grates, which takes a minute or two.We purchased 4 of these on Amazon and we love them. FYI...we use sterno for fuel which works the best for us.Here is my recipe I have on Tasty Kitchen that uses this: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/pu-pu-platter-steak/

It is not difficult clean for me. I take the element out and let it rest on paper towels. I pour the oil out of the bin and place it and the basket in my dishwasher. A simple degreaser cleaner will clean any grease spatters on the dial. It is very easy to use and clean. Love mine, this is actually the second one I purchased because I wore out the first one!

The spout on this separator is difficult to clean. The opening narrows toward the bottom and requires real effort to clean. However, the wide top and overall performance outweighs the cleaning difficulty.

If you are talking about the inside of the solid bowl then....It looks like it, but can't swear to it...I just rinse and wipe it out with a dry towel...use it frequently, very happy with it. Have a Great Christmas if you Celebrate it...or Happy Holidays...
