What is it that requires hand washing only? What happens if you use the dishwasher?

The lid and plastic ring clean better for me when I hand wash them. When I placed in the dishwasher, it did not clean as well as my hand washing did.

As direction from the company hand wash only, to me clean the stainless as how you would expect when you hand wash it

I wash the whole thermos by hand--I would not put ANY parts in the dishwasher just to be on the safe side. I love this thermos--it keeps my soup hot until lunchtime !!!

It would be depend on what food you put in the thermo. if it soup then it doesn't need any scrubbing so dishwasher, if it solid then sometime it stick to the mouth then hand-wash.

Hand wash Only. Most anything that is vacuumed sealed should Not be put in the dishwasher. The ability to hold the heat or cold would be compromised. The cap and spoon can obviously be put in the dishwasher though.

Catherine...you can wash it in the dishwasher on the top rack, but hand washing is recommended for best results.

I've thrown out the box so I don't remember if it officially said not to dishwasher but it said to rinse and air dry so that's all we've ever done. Sorry, hope this helps.

I hand wash mine and haven't put it in the dishwasher. That's just my choice.

No, they say hand wash only. I use just hot water pressure. It's very fragile.

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.

Mine say 'hand wash only' as well. I love them, so I hand washed just in case.

I have one and just wash it by hand. Not sure if it's dishwasher safe or not. But You don't really need to wash it a lot.

They recommend hand washing. My initial cleaning was in the dish washer. I mostly rinse under hot water and depending on what I cut a bit of dish soap.

It says to wash in warm water with mild soap, so I've been hand washing mine. I imagine the dishwasher would be too hot for it to handle.

The instructions specifically state to hand wash and NOT put this into a dishwasher.

I have neved put it in the dishwasher so I don't really know. I usually wash it by hand right after I use it.

I would not recommend using the dishwasher but it wouldn't hurt it. It just might not get all the crevices clean. Let me know if it works better than hand washing.

Doesn't seem dishwasher safe, mine didn't come with instructions so I don't know for sure but Iv used it in the dishwasher a couple times and it's fine. For the most part I hand wash it thiugh

No. The manufacturer recommends hand washing only. I found this true of all higher quality cookware.

Hand washing does a fine job. Soapy water and a few shakes and a rinse is about all it really needs.

I have not had this problem. I have only washed it by hand as I don't own a dishwasher.
