A mixing vessel for a food processor operated by an electric motor, which mixing vessel has a mixing mechanism which can be connected to a rotary drive of the food processor by means of a coupling driver, wherein the mixing vessel has a cleaning device for cleaning an inner wall of the mixing vessel, in particular a floor of the vessel. The cleaning device is arranged on the mixing vessel, in particular on a vessel wall and/or the mixing mechanism, and has at least one cleaning element which is designed such that, upon actuation of the cleaning device, it sweeps over the inner wall and/or over sub-regions of the mixing mechanism and, by interacting mechanically with any deposits which may be located on the inner wall and/or the mixing mechanism, helps to remove the same. The mixing vessel can have a cleaning device which has an ultrasonic transmitter, which is arranged in a fixed position in a wall of the mixing vessel or which is arranged, in particular in a removable manner, in the interior of the mixing vessel.
A mixing vessel (3) for an electromotively driven food processor (2), which mixing vessel (3) has a mixing mechanism in the form of a knife set (6) or a milk foaming attachment (8), which by means of a coupling driver (18) can be connected with the rotary drive of the food processor (2), wherein the mixing vessel (3) has a cleaning device (1) configured for purposes of cleaning a vessel floor (20) of the mixing vessel (3), the vessel floor (20) being arranged transversely to a longitudinal direction of an axis of rotation (12) of the mixing mechanism, wherein further, the cleaning device (1) is arranged on the mixing mechanism (5), and has at least one cleaning element (9) that is designed such that the cleaning element is swept over the vessel floor by an actuation of the cleaning device (1), and, by a mechanical interaction with any deposits (22) that may be located on the vessel floor and/or the mixing mechanism (5), helps to remove them, wherein, the cleaning element (9), in addition to a rotation about the axis of rotation (12) of the mixing mechanism (5), can rotate about a second axis of rotation (13) arranged in parallel to the first axis of rotation (12),
