Are they dishwasher safe? Will the cutting edge dull if washed a dish washer?

The edges will not dull in the dishwasher.. The shears are made of stainless steel.

I put the big ones in the top rack of my dishwasher all the time and have not had a single problem. The color stays, they get clean, and they stay sharp. I have also put the yellow and green ones in the bottom rack where the silverware goes and still haven't had an issue.

That depends on how long you leave them in water. If you're like my husband and dump them in a sink full of water and don't wash them or remove them, then yes. When I got back from my 2 day trip, the knife had a couple of rust spots. My advice would be to not let them soak in water for very long. But as far as using them in a dishwasher, not had a problem so far. I hope that helps.

The only problem I've encountered with putting these in the dishwasher is the handles will tarnish and get rough feeling. I've used a scouring pad on them and they will 'shine' up again and get the smooth feel back. The dishwasher doesn't bother the blades at all.

Yes and No. Yes in that the metal most likely will not rust and the handle most likely will not be adversely affected by the heat and chlorine that is usually in dish waver detergents. No in that thers a good chance that the blade edge will be jostled and dinged and dulled especially if you're not OCD about knife handling and putting things in the dish washer. On balance like others suggest always hand wash and dry your knife and put them away as soon as possible after use,

I don't know if they are dishwasher safe, but only the bristles get dirty because you can't submerge the drill past the bristles during use. I clean the bristles simply by operating the drill with the bristles in clean/soapy water when I'm done.

They are dishwasher safe, however it is not recommended to put any good knives in the dishwasher as it can damage the cutting edge of the blades. We always wash ours by hand.

No they are not dishwasher safe. The directions state to use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge/cloth.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. I have re-used mine several times. Great product!

I always wash mine by hand to prevent possible chipping and dulling of the blades banging around in the dishwasher. They clean up very easily under a running faucet though and are still like new.

I put mine in the dishwasher, mine have not rusted. They are very resistant and heavy duty. Great poultry shears.Danette

I would never put nice knives in the dishwasher. Just hand wash them when you're done if you want them to last.

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.

I have washed mine several times in the dishwasher. There's no rust on the exposed metal edges and the paint coating has stayed on the blades just fine. The plastic handles also appear unaffected by the dishwasher.

I think they probably would be, but would refer you to the manual. I like to wash everthing by hand w/ dish soap & clorox just to make sure that everything is thoroughly cleaned. Additionally, if you put the blade in the dishwasher, generally it dulls the edge over time. Hope that helps.

No. Do not put them in the dishwasher. You lessen the life of any cutlery or metal cookware by putting it in the dishwasher even if it says dishwasher safe.

It is recommended that you wash them by hand--all good knives need to be washed by hand rather than the dishwasher to help keep them sharp.
