We use it inside for white noise at night and to dry any accidental spills. Never gets dirty.Great fan.

I use air from an air compressor. Just blow from every direction. This will get most of the junk out.

I was actually wondering how to clean the fans inside as well. I can't figure out how to get the grills off. I can't even find the user manual online...not sure where box is. And I am not sure what the 800 # is to call.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

Not sure what you mean by open and clean. I live in Texas and the dust here is HORRIBLE! I just take it outside, spray it with a hose being careful to not get too much water in the motor and let it completely dry. Easier than taking other fans apart.

There is a set screw that holds the fan blade to the side of the shaft. You will need a long allen wrench to loosen or remove the screw. There may also be some corrosion that will make it difficult to come apart. Some WD40 and careful tap on the old shaft usually does the trick.

I don't know about cleaning, but I do know...that I really like the fan. It produces a lot of air or less if that's what you want. I use it now at night blowing directly on me in bed. I live in Florida and don't use A/C so I REALLY like good fans. This is my second one. The little one is not effective.

In most cases, vacuuming with a brush would be sufficient. But you could then use a damp rag on the grille and external parts. If you're really concerned about the fan blades being dirty, you can unscrew it and disassemble it. But that's pretty extreme, and you should be comfortable with reassembly.

No that's the problem. The grease goes up through the grids and appears to collect on them--- ok so far because the grids must be cleaned every time the fan is used. This works well because of the ever time cleaning. IF YOU DON'T CLEAN THEM EVERY TIME THEN THE GREAS WILL BUILD UP PASSING TO THE INSIDE

How to clean the diffuser: 1. Use equal parts natural vinegar and water. Use enough to cover the bottom inside the base. Let the mixture sit inside the base for 15-20 minutes to help break up the oils that may have accumulated on the ceramic discs inside the Diffuser. Then use a soft cotton fabric to clean the mist disc (on the bottom middle) and the sensor in the bottom of the unit with the vinegar solution in the tank. 2. Rinse with water (be careful when you empty the water, so that it doesn't get into the motor). That's it!

Very easy to clean. Easiest way to clean these fans is to get a can of "Air Duster"....(You can get it anywhere.) Spray the air duster on the fan. Also, for light dusting, once a week use a Swiffer hand-duster....it's wonderful! My fans work great following these easy steps! Hope this helps. Good luck. Great fan!

Hi Joe, I have bought several of these types of fans at my place of business. I have them on constantly and have had no trouble. Might need to be cleaned after a while of use. The only reason for the price difference i can see is that one fan is a little bigger and throws more air faster at a higher rate . The smaller lasko's work well too but dont move as much air. So your application should be taken into affect. Hope this helps!

For some years, with the HM1865 I had, I was able to carefully pry the slotted fan cover off around its edges with a dull, thin blade from a butter-type table knife.(Not a sharp knife!) It snaps back on easily. You can clean the top of the plastic blades that way, and reach most of the bottoms, carefully and without bending anything. Clean inside the filter cover as well, from the bottom, when you remove it from the unit.

It's very easy to clean it inside. All you have to do it is wipe it clean. I highly recommend this coolant.

I had the same question and the company told me to wipe the outside. Dyson should have made this fan be able to open to expose the fan blades, yes this fan has blades inside and there is no way of cleaning them and you know it must get a buildup of dust which will slow the fan down

Unscrew the handle to your bristle broom and use the bottom portion to brush off the dirt. Works in all the crevices in the fan covers.

You just change the removable filters from the wand and the one that connects to the tube. Nothing to clean internally. The heads get cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

Pull the front plastic cover off and spot the four holes on the bottom of the front of the case. Use the long screws that came with the case and run it through the fan and into the holes. If you need more help, I can send pics of how I did it.
