How difficult is this fan to clean?

There are 4 screws that hold the casing together if you wanted to give it a good clean you would need to take these out.

I have not cleaned it yet. However the entire top (with all the sides) lift right off. The filter unit comes out and that is basically the entire inside. The motor is up in the cover. The only problem I had was the little door leaked water when filling. I put a little calking around the emblem (on the inside of the door) and it solved the problem (it only took a couple minutes). It also runs so quietly, you barely know it's running. I love it!

I dont take mine apart. Rather, I use a duster to dust the inside of the fan.

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.

No, actually it's very easy to clean; better then the previous one I had that got dust everywhere. Hope this helpsand enjoy the lightweight corded stick vac if you get one.

bought 2 about 6 months ago. The fan seems to be loud on mine, but it needs to be cleaned regularly. My husbands isn't loud at all. Cannot tell it is running. It does run all the time. Not just when it gets hot. I sometimes unplug when not in use. For the price, being light weight, I like it.

No, it is not difficult to clean. It actually comes with a tool that easily is able to scrap between the grooves of the rack.

don't bye that fan its nasty. but if you have you just needa screw driver. Just the legs need to be put on. I hate this fan it was expensive and never worked as well as an older model I have.

Oh yes, and easily. You just pull of the front screen and wipe down the blades. I double love this fan. (If you have any trouble removing the screen face the fan toward yourself securely and squeeze on opposite edges. It'll pull right off.)

It is not hard or time consuming. I just take a dry paper towel and wipe the inside. They suggest cleaning it when you change the essential oil scent so that's when I do it. I have had mine over a year.

its not hard to clean. I use it everyday and I just throw the parts in the dishwasher and wipe the outside of the motor housing. The 'extra large" feed shute is bigger than the last one that I had which doesnt tell you much, but it has been sufficient for me, and I use mine at work where we feed about 50 people a day and it does the job very well. Im happy with it so far

Yes it does very easily. I usually vacuum it once a week and then once a month I take it apart and clean it all. We live in an apartment that it quit old so there is lots of dust and we have a long hair cat and it will build up on the fan. It is very simple to take apart and to put back together.

No. It took me three hours total to take it apart (multiple screws on the cover and motor casing) and wipe down each individual blade (there are hundreds) on the actual fan part, because those parts don't come off at all. If you value dust free fanning, get an old standby fan. I cleaned that one in 5 minutes.

The air movement is not any better than a cheap fan but it is very quiet. And very easy to keep clean. There are no blades that become dirty and impossible to clean and then blow all that dirty crud around and I wonder why I have allergies and can't breath.

Not super easy but not real hard, I'd give it about 3/5 on "ease to clean."

No, it is not hard at all. It seldom requires more than washing it with hot soapy water and a good rinse

no it's very simple to clean. I like the hood in general,really not bad at all, it's just not as powerful as we hoped...good luck!
