I have not tried it in the dishwasher...it does not say it is diswasher safe. I wash it using a humidifier cleaner I bought at Lowe's and it works great. I just put a little in the tank, fill it with warm water and slosh it around.

The tank really doesn't get that dirty and my tap water is fairly soft so I don't get calcium build-up at all. The opening on the bottom is small so I wouldn't imagine a dishwasher would be effective. If I were cleaning it, I'd put a bit of antibacterial soap in it and slosh around some hot water and rinse out *thoroughly*.

I don't think I would recommend the dishwasher, the opening to place the water is large enough for your hand

Its very easy to clean.The bottom screws off and the blades drop out.(2 pieces). So easy to rinse off or throughin dishwasher.

You cannot place it in a dishwasher. I fill it half full of warm water add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid then push the on button. It cleans itself.

Take the tank out and you will see 2 wing nuts on the top turn them and the back part will lift off then you can clean it with vinager and water. Easy!!!

I find it very easy to clean either by hand with a good dish soap or in the dishwasher. Some parts are top rack only, but that's not a problem:)

Easy to dissemble the top and rinse off. You are not supposed to put it in the dishwasher, though looking through the comments and answers here and to other questions, many people do. For me the dishwasher would be less convenient anyway.

Yes. It's very easy to clean. Just remove the top, the lower part is a bowl (reservoir), you can put the lower part in dish washer. If your water is not very dirty, I only clean It every other month.

I don't quite understand your question, but yes, it is easy to clean in general. It is all one piece and you can just rinse or wipe clean. Hope this helps!

It's not that easy, but not hard either! Its easy to wash but cleaning up takes a long time! If u wash it without get rid of the grinded particles of vegetables/fruits, ur sink will be all clogged up! That would take time to clean! Except that, the rest is pretty easy! I would say it takes 4 minute for the the whole clean up procedure, after a week or two of use! Eventually u'll do it without even noticing the time! While u cleaning it up, put the juice in the fridge, cold juice is always better :-)

The packaging says "not recommended for dishwashers"...especially the lid liner, gasket liner and lid. You will find that this is pretty much self cleaning and does not really need to go in a dishwasher. I just rinse mine in warm soapy water and let dry.

The tank is not removable, just the plastic basket. I see no need to remove it. I use a mixture of just a little Windex and mostly distilled water. If it starts to look a little murky, I remove the basket and rinse it. Then carefully holding the cord and top out of the way, dump the contents out of one side, avoiding the control panel. Then just wipe dry.

I've never washed it in the dishwasher, just by hand. If you only cook rice in it, it's really easy to clean. I've had this for two years now and love it.

I just wash it the way I do the other items that don't go into the dishwasher. Its very simple to keep clean and it froths milk great.

It is very easy. Metal filter comes out of the top, wash with warm soapy water. I clean ours every few weeks.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher. I first wipe it out with a dry paper towel, then I take a wet paper towel and wipe it out. Cleans up really good. I use mine at least 3 to 4 times a week. Love it. Hope this helps.

I clean it once a week on the same day, by emptying the container and the base into the tub. I keep a squirt bottle with half water and half bleach, and spray inside the tank and nozzle, then spray the inside of the base, let sit for one minute, then rinse out with hot water and washcloth it comes spotlessly clean and is very easy to do.
