Flojet macerator: is it reliable? Maintenance issues?

Thanks for the info!!

Old Biscuit, is that disassembly job easy or difficult? (Sometimes, manufacturers intentionally make it hard for the consumer to take a device apart, probably to discourage the users from fouling up the works with improper techniques.)

Also, is the yearly maintenance "messy" (if you know what I mean)? Or does proper rinsing at the end of each use solve that problem?
