" ... Its easy to use and not hard to clean. ... For the long bottle just us a baby bottle clean. ... "
" ... Would be even better if it came with a long bottle brush. ... Had to order one specifically to make sure I could clean the larger bottles properly. ... "
" ... Great blender, so easy to use and clean! ... "
" ... Doesn’t clean very well but works nicely ... "
" ... It takes up hardly any space on the work top, is extremely easy to clean, and great for a family of 4, no need to go out and buy more bottles. ... "
" ... The bottles don't leak and the design is very good, it's easy to rinse off the blender part after use and then you simply screw on the lid and away you go! ... Not too noisy, easy to clean, no complaints at all! ... "
" ... Having said that, the smaller ones would probably be easier to clean than the bigger size. ... For anyone who primarily uses sponges to wash with, you might want to invest in a brush if you plan on getting the larger size. ... "
" ... I’d recommend a bottle brush as it can be tricky to clean inside the bigger bottles. ... "
