Aleksandra~ you are right, it's recommended to take it apart and clean & sterilize like the nebs. However, there are two Accapellas on the market although they look identical on the outside. The regular Accapella (cheaper) does not come apart and will melt if boiled; the Accapella Choice comes apart into 4 pieces and can be boiled. It also costs quite a bit more (but is still very reasonable, about $60 from some sources.)
There is an internal moving part (it kind of goes back and forth on a rocker on a seated groove and hinge); it's not just a hollow device with a smooth interior... I doubt any amount of shaking will sufficiently dry it. I would really worry about prolonged dampness inside resulting in problems.
