Is it hard to clean under the silicone part of the lid? That's usually my complaint with sippy cups ... the valves are difficult to clean.

I have put it into the dishwasher and had no problems cleaning under the lid

No. I just pop out the valve part of the lid (super easy) and put it all on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

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

I feel so. I feel like i can't clean it right. But that might be me. I'm going to see if my bfs 5 year can work it. My 15 month couldn't and I had issues even.

Nope- it pops right off for easy cleaning - I think it's easier to clean than most other sippy cups.

You might want to practice taking it out in the shower the first few times. I found it more difficult to remove cleanly than the softcup, because with the Diva you have to break its seal first. The real hard part for me was getting it back in. I found that to be so frustrating that I threw the thing in the tampon can in frustration. In all I would not recommend this product. I'd recommend the reusable Softcup. I can remove and replace that cleanly.

The lid does get mildew around it, after some time of use. Its very easy to clean. Every week or so, I thoroughly clean each part of bottle and lid, and have never had mildew resist cleaning, or not come off. I love these bottles. I've used many different kinds of glass drinking bottles over the years, and these are actually the easiest to clean.

Hi Susan, it is a bit of a pain, but I use the dish cloth to scrub between the threads on the lid and in the opennings on the underside of the lid. I use a pipe cleaner (scrunched up) to clean the openning from which the coffee flows. I clean mine every night, so that helps. It is painstaking work, but for me, it is worth it. Good luck.

It sounds like the base, cup and lid aren't connected properly. If they aren't, it won't run. Make sure they are aligned properly, if it don't run, do it all over. I guess it is one of those safety features. Mine did that about a month ago, then I got it to work! Good luck, I sure hope I was able to help you. :)

Mine is the same as everyone else's! HeeHee! I'll just add a tip to use distilled water in it, so you don't get a buildup of stuff inside, because it's not terribly easy to clean. I have two, both are working great, and I would buy again.

I haven't had any issues except it took my daughter awhile to understand this sippy cup instead of a bottle but that's to be expectedm now its the only sippy she will use.

I've never taken it apart. The straw pulls out very easily. Then I just throw it in the dish washer or use a bottle brush. The straw is wide enough I've never had a problem with it being cleaned out. If you have stuff stuck in the straw then I would suggest a pipe cleaner or they do sell straw cleaners...not sure what they are called. I see them with sippy cups for kids all the time. I just looked to see if I could pull the straw out of the grey part of the lid and I'm not sure it's supposed to come out. I could wiggle it, but when I pulled it didn't budge at all.

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 is not difficult but does require some dis-assembly. Yes you do have to clean under the rubber gasket. Overall the pros of the Zojirushi how hot it keeps the coffee, the con is an awkward drinking spout. I also have a thermos brand cup that doesn't keep the coffee as hot and also needs to be dis-assembled to clean, but is is easier to open to drink from. One other thing about the Zojirushi is it doesn't fit well into a car cup holder, it is too small and rattles around. I am still looking for the perfect travel cup if one actually exists.

It's fairly easy to clean. The straw part detaches so that you can run water through it. We just throw the parts in the dish washer and it's fine. Our problem with the product is that our 9 month old twins are a bit brutal. When they bang the cups on their highchair trays, the bottom parts break off. And the constant dropping is not good for the straw cover either. We've already gone through two training cups.

can you clarify your problem? it can be a little hard to pull the lid up and off, after you've rotated the handle to the near-vertical position, but it's just suction and will eventually go away, also lift the pour spout. it's a tight fit, lid to mixing container, that is. usually i don't need dishwasher if i clean it right away it just all washes off with water, soap, spray.

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

No, I do not consider it hard to clean. It is just that this is a large juicer, it juices extremely fast and very efficiently and because it is large, the parts to clean are large, making it bulky to clean, but not difficult and not time-consuming. You could probably easily juice 10 eight-ounce glasses of juice in this juicer in a matter of a few minutes. I do recommend that you keep the little black plastic chute on the stainless steel spout. If not, it's powerful enough that when the juice comes out - it will splatter all over you. That little chute directs the juice downward into your glass and away from YOU.

Valve does come off. I don't know if there is any significance in that it twists back and forth. I do that to get it out though. I will say that of all the sippy cups I've purchased over the last 5+ years these have been great!!

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

Not really sure, but maybe there is too much of a vacuum. Try popping the sipper seal a few times and then screwing off the lid.
