Is this hard to clean? Does it give any instructions on how it should be cleaned? The base looks like its not removable.

You cannot place it in a dishwasher. I fill it half full of warm water add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid then push the on button. It cleans itself.

Can't be dishwasher cleaned as the base is a rubber cover that is "pulled" off to replace batteries within the base. Hand wash/rinse and dry. No problem. Been using for several months now. Really love it. We'll see after a year of use.

Yeah, it's a waste of time too. It's not microwave safe and the powder always gets jammed in the bottom of the mixer. Avoid this piece of junk.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

No... not hard to clean at all. As stated in my previous review (I've evidently become an expert on this device), best way to clean it is to first rinse out with hot water, then put in more hot water almost to the top and turn on the whirring thingy. This will "swirl" the water around. If you still have any residue (it will be near the top), then just give it a swipe with a wet dishrag around the inside edge and down about as far as your fingers will reach. Be careful not to touch the little whirring thingy (paddle). Dunno what would happen, but just don't. Box is long gone, so don't remember about instructions, but these washing instructions have worked for me - every day - for nearly a year now. Just don't let any residue dry out on the inside and you shouldn't have any probs. Bottom is flexible rubber and removable... it's where the batteries go. Just don't submerge or leave to set in standing water. I have already bought one for all my kids for Christmas. Great product, especially for the money. Hope this helps.

I found it extremely easy to clean. I'd just put clean water in it and turn it on right after I finished my drink. If it needed to be disinfected, I'd put soap in the water and turn it on. The problem with it is the motor doesn't last long. If you use it daily like I did, you'll be lucky to get more than two or three months out of it.

No it is not at all hard to clean I wipe it each time I fill it, I have had no build up

It is not removable...that I have ever found. I take a towel and use the hot water that condenses on the lid and wipe it off. It cleans fine that way.

yeah it's pretty easy to clean, very actually. Just about any cleaner will do. I always just used a bit of diluted dish soap and water, or for lighter spills just a wet towel works.

Haven't cleaned ours, but I was thinking of taking it outside and cleaning it with a can of air. Hope that helps

We got this as a wedding gift and i regret that I've been remiss in addressing that we haven't been able to use it as none of the accessories fit onto the hand held motor unit. Therefore, I can't speak for how difficult or easy it is to clean. I'd venture to guess that you remove the parts simply and put them into the dishwasher. Seems simple?

This is not hard to clean. The base is non-stick but cannot be immersed so handwashing is a must. Used a good quality grease fighting dish detergent and a soft cloth. Issue is that the popper seems to need oil to work correctly so the lid and base will always be oily and need to washed in warm soapy water.

It's not at all hard to clean. It's two parts that click into each other so you just take it apart.

I didn't get instructions for cleaning it either, however, it is easy to take apart and just wash in regular dish water.

Yes you have to take it apart, the grill and drip pan sit inside the base, so you just have to clean the grill and drip pan. The grill is a little annoying to clean, but usually cleans pretty easily. We really like cooking on it, especially in the winter when we really want grilled food!

I believe the instructions recommend cleaning it weekly but I definitely forget about it for a month or two at a time. To clean it, just put some white vinegar into the tank with a little water, place it back on the base and let it sit. Any minerals will wipe off easily and then just rinse out the tank and base- super easy!

I take it apart and clean it quite often. I also run it in the dish washer as it is also dish washer safe. By taking it apart the top breaks down into a few pieces and i remove the rubber bands inside and clean them before putting it back together. Pretty easy, hope this helps!

All but the base have been done in my dishwasher. I also wipe down the base with something like a Clorox wipe or just a wet washcloth.

The back vent opens up so you can clean it a little but it isn't easy to clean. Sorry wish I had more advise....hope this helps some.

In all honesty, we never clean it. You can just wipe it out with a cloth or paper towel. Are you talking about washing it? Never done that before. We've had this particular one for several years now, by the way. It's a great little work horse.
