Can we dishwash the black plastic like part of the machine? If not what other parts can we dishwash? Thanks.

I believe you can, but I hand wash. For the best answer contact Grandma Ann. There customer service is superb! Hope this helps.

You can dish wash the black plastic. It cleans easily in the sink - the hopper should be cleaned in the sink only. Brian

I would recommend to ask the manufacture. You probably can wash everything but the housing with the electric motor.

They are dishwasher safe but it is not recommended that you leave the parts in the drying setting. There are many different dishwasher models that have different drying temperature settings and this can melt the BPA free plastic. The ideal way to clean your parts is with warm soapy water and then allowing them to air dry.

The stainless parts can be put in the dishwasher, but I personally soak it in warm water then clean it with a SOS pad. The dishwasher may not clean it completely and the dry/heat cycle will encrust what remained on the spit, which will result in you having to soak it completely (again) then clean it with a steel wool pad. It is good quality stainless. I hope this helps JB

Yup - all of the parts seem to be dishwasher safe. At least it came out fine when I washed it in the dishwasher ;-)The only reason it might not be is that I could see the finish scratching OR heated dry could warp some of the plastic parts if you put them on the bottom rack.

The instructions state that the parts are not dishwasher safe - but they are metal; alluminium, I believe. The dishwasher will discolour the finish.

A little bit of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water works well. One of our cleaners used scrubbing bubbles and it ruined the surface of the one we had.

No it's not dishwasher safe. When you remove the blade end you'll find it's a little difficult to clean the shaft. I've found that you need to flush with hot water until it runs clear, then flush some soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Love the blender but it is difficult to clean.

Washing the blade, no (too sharp- it would cut the dishwasher rack or dull itself banging against other items). I also wouldn't put the sliding tray in the dishwasher (sealed dial wouldn't dry, so it could rust hidden metal bits). There is a metal push plate you could wash safely. Other small plastic piece ( separator blade) is too small, so could get lost. So my answer would be mostly no to dish washer.

The dishwasher ruined my first one. I would recommend hand washing this. The metallic top separated from the rubber when using the dishwasher, in essence destroying it.

Like Bruce Silva, I only wash mine with hot water and without dishwashing liquid after every use. I guess you COULD put it in the dishwasher if you really wanted to, since there are no plastic parts.

They said that you can put it in a dishwasher, but I haven't done that yet because I don't want to ruin mine. The thing is awesome. I just run tap water through it. Try soap and water and a sponge..? Water and vinegar..?

Don't put anything in the dishwasher and do NOT use bleach on any of the parts as it will pit and discolor the parts. It doesn't take long to clean them up with soapy water and dry them. The hardest thing to clean is the grinder plate (with all the holes) and that can be cleaned quickly by using your sprayer in your sink. Use a toothpick to dislodge stubborn bits. I store my blades and plates in a Ziploc bag with a small bag of dessicant to absorb moisture. I also wrap the parts in brown paper that prohibits rust. Congratulations you've chosen a great grinder!

I can't recall what the manual suggests but I've dish washered mine with no problems. Have fun! It's a great item.

I wash parts of mine in the dishwasher, some parts are just easier to wash by hand. Just be sure the metal part is dry before storing.

Having never thought of putting any of the parts in the dishwasher, I would suppose that the only "part" that would qualify would be the filter basket, although I don't know why you would want to wash it in the first place as a quick rinse seems to do just fine. We use #2 paper filters and don't use the included mesh filter (it lets coffee "silt" - you know, the fine stuff at the bottom of your cup, get through). My final answer is "no", you should probably hand wash the only parts that would need cleaning - filter basket and the travel mug. We brew directly into our own cups. Hope that answers your question.

They can be cleaned. You can take the black plastic piece with the holes off and clean that gunk out. I do use soft water in it. I used hard water for a short time and that will drastically change how long it will last. I put the whole thing in my dishwasher. Even the filter and pump. I just don't do the plug in piece but the wire - yes. Just make sure it's dry obviously before plugging back in.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.
