I have teenagers. I will need to clean the lid (inside and out) on a regular basis. Is immersible or clean-able easily?

You can immerse the plastic ring around the top but the lid itself has batteries and can not be totally immersed in water, but it isn't difficult to clean at all

NO!!!! I am pretty sure tha was what killed it the second time. And I didn't even immerse it (used the sink sprayer). It stopped working but I let it dry out for several days and it started working for a few days, then it went erratic and finally failed solid-door-locked-closed. It has been taken out of service and replaced with the cheapest thing we could find at Walmart with an ordinary slide-to-open-slide-to-close lid that works well and tolerates cleaning--a need even without teenagers.

Immersible no, Cleaneable yes. Remove the lid, moisten a kitchen towel with disinfectant and wipe down. There is a power switch on the underside which you can use to turn off the lid so it wont open and close while you are trying to clean it.

We have had ours since September and whether you are a teenager or and adult you have to try pretty hard to get the interior of the lid dirty. Otherwise, remember that there are electrical connections that even though they are battery operated and of no real danger they will short out should they get washed. All of this is visible so you shouldn't have a problem knowing what to do. Maybe if you give the responsibility of clean to the teens they will be more careful with the way they use the trash can.

The outside is easily cleanable. The inside though has ridges and stuff... pretty hard to clean. I don't think I would immerse it underwater. I clean with spray bottle of cleaner.

It's as good as you're likely to get, short of a thermos. I've had mine for a few years now, and the lid is still pretty good if you're carrying something thick like a stew, but a tiny bit leaky if you're carrying something really liquid like chicken stock, especially if the lid is cold. I always tie the mug into a plastic bag if I think it might tip in my backpack. The advice to hand-wash the lid rather than putting into the dishwasher is good: I think if you did that the lid would keep its watertight qualities longer.

I don't believe it can be immersed. I clean mine with a dish water cloth and rinse with water . no problems with that method

Pretty much. The biggest problem is cleaning the lid. I've given instructions on how to disassemble the lid mechanics to clean it. This is mostly a problem when using creamers and stuff.

Yes, it is easy to clean. The base (where it sits) is plastic and can be easily rinsed.

I think so. I don't immerse it in water, since there's a space between the outer shell and the inner glass container, and I'd rather not get water in there, so I just put a little dish washing liquid in it, add hot water, screw the lid on, and shake, then drain and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Works fine for me.

No. And the lid is very heavy so if you have young children, it might not be for you. The design and materials are very solid.

Ed: I rhink our mug will fit your objectives. Our mugs are stainless steel inside and out and that is very easy to clean. Furthermore, the interior that holds your liquids, etc is smooth and has no seams. We also use a lid sealing system that means the lid sides are smooth and easy to clean. The o ring gasket is around the outside of the lid so its not in contact with mug contents (see product images). I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact us again.

Personally, I find it easy enough to open with just enough tightness so the lid doesn't just slip around. The lid was never an issue for me.

No, it is not "immersable." I've had ours for a couple years; I try to rinse & wash it right after use. Normally a bit of soap, warm water, and a non-abrasive scrubby pad, and it cleans very nicely. I do give it a decent wash/rinse, and just avoid getting much water on/in the bottom side. Otherwise easy to deal with. We love ours!

Lid is a solid one-piece constructed out of rubber&plastic; where rubber is not removable. Cleaning the lid isn't very difficult. Hope this answer helps.

The surface is glass so it seems to be very easy to clean. Just use a clean cloth with a bit of glass cleaner would seem enough. You cannot immerse it.

I haven't had any trouble cleaning it - it wipes out easily with a paper towel or sponge, you can get the inside wet, you just can't submerge it.

It does clean easily. My only issue with it is that the screws on the inside starting rusting after a few uses. That was a major issue since I didn't want rusty screws anywhere near food products. The screen used for sifting also came out and then it would randomly fall out while I was trying to sift which created a huge mess. Within about 2 months of purchasing this product I ended up throwing it out. It was past the time limits for returning products to Amazon so I found it a complete waste of money. It is very possible that my experience is an isolated one. I loved that I could sift a large quantity all at once but it just didn't last very long. Hope this info helps.

I wouldn't say it is easy but it's not awful either. You can turn it over and get most of what you ground in the lid. I use a paper towel to wipe it down.

yes but I would advise against it as there is no way to clean inside of lid and it gets filthy!

It fairly easy to clean, but its also fairly easy to get messy. I own two of them and love them.
