I clean the hose and water chamber, but that's about it, and change the filter. Am I missing someting? Clean the machine itself?

Other than wiping off the outside and the other stuff you're already doing, that's about all you can "clean".

Indeed!
Unless one has compromised immunity, excess attention to cleanliness is a waste.
