What is cleanup like for this?

for me that has not been an issue the grill is like an oven rack little soap &water.done;

The paint finish they use makes it a breeze. As we all find out over the years, the trick is to clean it after every use when it cools down. The first three or four times I didn't and it still was no problem. I did use a grease cutter. Cleaned the lid and all other parts in five to seven minutes using newspaper liberally to wipe up with. Honestly this is a very portable little grill.

I run it 10-15 minutes when done cooking to turn everything to ash. Then scrape the grill before the next grilling session. About every 10-15 times (depends on what you are grilling) I scrub the grill and clean the ash/residue from the inside. The grill has proved to be very handy.

It's pretty simple. You just unscrew the bolt that holds the heating element in place and then remove the whole coil. After that you just clean everything. It's a little harder for me because I line the grill pan with lava rocks.

It comes with a metal drip pan, so i guess if you line it with foil you would be OK, but beyond that it's just a standard electric grill. The heating element detaches fairly easily, so that's a positive...

Karen: Clean up is fairly simple. You have to take out the drip pan, which does require uncscrewing the heating element. It is really no big deal. We love the grill, it is sturdy and grills well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Jim Batastini

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

Its not to bad, more work than it should be. Ive been using a bucket and a hose, emptying after a couple of minutes and starting the process over

I just take the hood off and vacuumed out the waste. I personally do it twice a week. You could buy a gravel vac and small container. Like old soda bottles.

The cleaning side darkens as it's used. When there's no space left, toss it.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

Turn it on, run it under hot water, shake out the remaining residue on a paper towel. Done.

you just hold it over garbage can and push button to dump it. you may have to remove string or thread items from the brushes

Just pull the fur off with your fingers and put in the trash (or compost pile). If you need to, rinse it out with soap and water. Very low tech and works wonders.

I have only used this unit to extract oil and tranny fuel, as far as cleaning I just used the vacuum to clean it. What ever residue that was left in the tube I just left it. My best guess would be to used a dishsoap water solution such as Dawn. Run it thourgh a couple of times, then let it dry. By the way I love this thing.

Sorry but I haven't cleaned it. I just turn it upside down and dump anything left in it out before I fill it up.

I agree with one of the other answers. I would run a traditional patch or bore swab through it after cleaning is complete.

This is just residue from the water. Wiping it out occasionally with a "magic eraser" type pad works really well to remove.

Depending on the surface, it will most likely leave residue. A rag with some mineral spirits or paint thinner will easily remove the residue however.

Cleanup is accomplished by rubbing a soft damp cloth over the rollers once they cool down. I would rate it as medium difficulty.
