are the plates removable for washing?

No, the plates aren't removable. That's counterbalanced by the fact that they never need oiling after the first use. I use my waffle make daily, and have used many, and no others have had this virtue (though many claimed to do so). Plus, it is lasting more than most (except maybe Toastmaster, Black & Decker, and Villaware), and, most importantly, cooks waffles far better than any other I've tried.

I washed them once on bottom rack by mistake and they were ok. I just don't know how many times they could do that however. I also don't use mine everyday so they are still in great shape after one year. Keep in mind the patterns you see on the plates are actually slightly lifted so there is a texture to the plate. Hope this helps.

No, the plates are not removable but that is not a problem! Before the first use, season the plates as instructed in the use and care manual. I followed the directions and have NEVER had to "clean" the plates nor have I had to apply oil to them since. The waffles come away from the plates cleanly and in one piece. Nothing is left behind. After the unit has cooled completely, I simply brush or blow away any little crumbs that may be on the plates and wipe the exterior of the waffle maker with a damp sponge....just like "CMO" posted. My whole house loves this thing!!

Yes, they are washable and very easy to remove. Add water to them at the sink and rinse them clean, wring out and you are good to go.

yes they are dishwasher safe. I like the plate but find them a little too large for my purposes. Wish I had order 9 inch instead.

Yes they are. They are heavy and wash up in the dishwasher very well. We love them!

There is no way to get those plates on the top shelf. I washed the sets when I first got them on the top and bottom shelf. I used the delicate(China) cycle and did the no heat drying. They came out great. I don't want plastic wear that I can't dishwash! The colors are beautiful.

The plates are not removable, no. Technically, you don't need to 'clean' a waffle maker, especially if it's teflon-coated. Just take a paper towel and wipe away any residue. I use a 2" natural bristle paint brush, slightly moistened with vegetable oil. Does the trick very nicely.

They are not washable. However each panel is removable and can easily be replaced.

I have a second Foreman Grill after many years of using my first one satisfactorily. Both of these grills have removable plates which I washed in the dishwasher. My dissatisfaction was with one I ordered after using my first grill, not realizing it had non-removable plates that couldn't be washed in the dishwasher. I immediately returned it and purchased one that was removable. I am quite satisfied with it.

They are made of plastic. They are removable for easy washing. Just untwist them from the base. The entire thing is dishwasher safe.

If you hand wash them, they are reusable. I would not recommend the dishwasher.

They are heavy weight plates. When I use then people want to wash them not realizing they are disposable. The dessert plates are the same weight.

Yes they can without any problem. I haven't had any issues with the microwave or dishwasher. I put the plates on the bottom and the bowls on the bottom or top depending. They haven't chipped or anything else. I am very pleased with purchase.
