Does it completely come apart for cleaning? I have a Penguin crane, but it is impossible to clean the slime out of the res and steam output shaft.

The owners manual gives easy cleaning instructions that do not require any complicated effort. You just pull it apart and wipe it out with hydrogen peroxide. So far, we have no slime or other buildup.

No it does not come apart for cleaning. The tank is seperate for cleaning but the unit does not come apart & the nozzel for misting doesn't come off,

No, but it's pretty easy to clean and maintain. I use hot soapy water and peroxide to disinfect once a week. Seems to work ok.

The tank lifts off the base. The tank does not disassemble. I have had no problems with any residue forming inside tank or base. I only use distilled water. Other units I have experienced the "slime" you speak of but not with this unit. No filter, no residue, and trouble free operating makes this unit perfect for me.

Hi. The clear part removes from the base and you can readily clean the inside of the base. However, the clear part itself is does not come apart and I am finding it hard to clean out the film that is building up. It is like trying to clean out the inside of a bottle. The shaft in the clear part can be wiped out but not easily.

I have not had to clean it yet, but it looks like I can get to it fairly easy! Been using it for 2 weeks now, works pretty good and is quiet! Hope this helps.

Umm The spout, the blue body part you see, and the white base at the bottom are separate pieces so ou can essentially clean where the vapors are coming out from but you can't clean where the inside of the blue body part where the water is stored.

Yes it does come apart for easy cleaning. I believe this is the best one out there. It's incredibly sharp so use the guide but it will get the job done. Good luck.

Yes it does. The wands are very agressive and the closer you get the better it cleans.They tend to wear out because of this. They can be repaired if you can get them apart.

I have never tried to take mine fully apart. I am afraid the small tabs that hold the two halves together would break off. I haven't had any problems cleaning it as long as it is unlocked.

Yes, everything comes apart and it's all plastic so it's easily washed. You just wipe off the main unit with the motor which can't be immersed.

I had mold in the crane despite changing the water daily and running a full cycle of vinegar and water weekly. I would put it outside, let the vinegar run through, then run another cycle of water. I just couldn't keep the unit clean and get to all the parts. No mold in the Honeywell, and it's so easy to clean and put away between my daughter's colds. No dripping, no mess. The only drawback is don't move it until it's empty, it spills easily, but it wasn't meant to be carried once water is added.

Just lift it off of the back. No problem. The part that is hard to keep cleaned is the heater part. Minerals collect and form a crust on it.

Mine never has. It is the best one I've owned, I think 3 different ones over the years. However I've never seen the bath fully empty. On very cold days with low volume water part of the bath will freeze, only around the disc will be open. My birds like to leave deposits in the birdbath in cold weather so there is more brush cleaning it out than other seasons (I wear fish scaling gloves with liners, very waterproof) and leaving it out of water for the cleaning is fine. Good value I think.

You can find almost anything on youtube. I went there and it give detail on how to clean it and you do need to take it totally apart. Seed gets stuck in the bottom around the yellow part and if you don't take it apart, you can't clean it. There a place to push in at the bottom part after the cage is removed, to release the plastic tube for detail cleaning. If you don't keep it clean, the birds will stop using it.

I have this, and the top part does come off. I have had no issue with cleaning it. I simply put water and white vinegar in the bottom of it and let it sit for 20-30 min. It's not moldy, and I've used it almost every night this winter. It's cool mist.

It completely comes apart for cleaning and easy to reassemble. We've been happy with it. It uses a fairly small amount of oil so you don't waste a lot either.

Suzanne, I am having the same difficulties with this vacuum. I usually cannot get it open to take out the dirt and dog hair, so I end up pulling it out with my fingers - YUK! I finally was able to get the entire thing apart to wash it all and there is debris behind the screen that I have no idea how to get out, so I just kept forcing water through it...very frustrating. I am sorry that I bought this vacuum. It was a lot of hype over nothing.

I'd also like to know about the cat "Yak" as we call it. Since no one has answered the first poster I guess I'll just have to get the vacuum and give it a try. Can't be any worse than cleaning it by hand and hopefully it will be better.

Mine clogs to from my golden retriever. I'm always having to figure out ways to clear them. I don't care how good of a vacuum you buy, they are no match for golden retriever. Lol anyway try taking the bottom off and work your way up from there. Sometimes you can use a hair dryer to blow the clogs loose or stick something in there and pull it loose. I don't believe there is an assembly that can be taken apart that only goes through the whole section.

To be honest...I haven't taken the base apart. The water well and parts are plastic. As far as cleaning goes...there are several areas that you will need qtips to get to...if you are going to put EOs in it...I wouldn't suggest...did you see picture of build up?

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

Sorry i can't help with this. Did you take it completely apart when cleaning it?
