Can you clean the jar, lid, and blades in the dishwasher?

I don't know if the model instructions say you can or cannot put these items in the dishwasher, but I do not. I hand wash everything and my Oster is in great condition and I use it a lot!

I haven't tried that. It recommends putting hot water and soap in the container and running it on high for 1 min. That is what I do. If something real thick I do it 2 or 3 times.

They do not recommend it. http://www.oster.com/service-%26-support/product-support/product-faqs/blenders/oster%C2%AE-versa%C2%AE/blenders-oster-versa-faq.html

We always hand wash the jar immediately after using. It is very quick and easy before the food dries onto the jar. The jar is pretty tall and does not fit into our dishwasher. We do put the lid in the dishwasher, although it may not be recommended by the manufacturer. The blade is permanently secured into the jar. Overall, we have had our blender for a couple of months with almost daily use, we are very happy with the purchase.

They say they are NOT dishwasher safe. They really are easy to clean if you just rinse it out right after you use it and then blend with a little soapy water. I have put the lid in the top rack and it was fine but the directions say not to do this. I love this blender and think it is pretty easy to clean.

The accompanying materials do not state that you can. Personally, I would not use a dishwasher for this for several reasons. One the blades are not removable and two, it is tall and would be a waste of space for dishes. Also, blenders stay pristine looking if washed by hand.

I think why you shouldn't is it may dull the blades. I don't put anything of value in the dishwasher. I don't even soak my Rada knives. I absolutely love them.

Hello Susan B. Yes, you are able to take the entire Blender apart to clean it. I do not think that it needs to be taken apart each time you use it. The seal is tight. You can purchase new blades on Amazon. I have not yet had the need to do that. To clean, I just rinse it out-put in some water and dishwashing soap and blend it for a few seconds. Then dry it. I sound like a commercial. Anyway, this Beehive Blender is BETTER than I expected it to be. Have a great day.

Yes, I put mine in the dishwasher, in the small parts basket with lid. I love this scrubber as we use cast iron for almost all our cooking, I season mine with bee's wax.

I wouldn't recommend using a dishwasher to clean any knife. It really is tough on the edge of the blade. Cleaning them by hand is usually very fast.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.

Knives shouldn't go in the dishwasher. They are liable to rattle around which can damage them. I always hand wash my knives.

I dont have a dishwasher, I threw the packaging away. The blades are stainless steel , I would assume its dishwasher safe Ive always owned kitchenaid anything which i beleive are the best brand on any thing they make. My old kitchenaid i might have put inmy dishwasher at the time I didnt notice any difference with it, the ones I bought at n amazon was pretty sharp, like macheti sharp.(it cut through anything).thanks

You can put it in the dishwasher - top rack only. I usually wash by hand though. I use a dish brush to wash between the blades.

Dear Crystal M. Of course it is! However as a user and lover of the product first (and not pers as a seller) even though it's dishwasher safe, I would recommend you to use one of the two brushes to clean the blades before you put it into the dishwasher. From my own experience this takes about 10 seconds and you just want to be sure nothings stays stuck between the blades due to hygienic reasons. My first spiral slicer had no brush, or whatsoever. And when I tried to use it the second time, I saw all this old vegetable parts between the blades which started to mold. Very unappetising. I hope this answers your question. You get two free brushes to make sure this will not happen to you. Kind regards, All Times Finest

I handwash the components. The stainless steel blades are, the plastic parts I don't know. The blades are light and might get moved around in the washer.

Absolutely you can and should place this in the dishwasher. It is the only way to make sure you sanitize the whole unit. You do need to take it apart of course and that can be tricky. But once you get the bottom off (there is a thin sliding rack on the bottom where the blades rest, and then disengage the blades to be free of the housing, you can safely place the blades in the utensil rack or if too small, on the upper rack. I haven't come across the probem with the fats being caked on the blades. I think it's because I rinse the blades first and then put it in the dishwasher. This is the best tool I have used for tenderizing meats and you should always wash this is the dishwasher. Absolutely you can and should place this in the dishwasher.

Yes, the parts are dishwasher safe. Honestly though, mine has never gotten that dirty that it needed a tough scrub. Usually I just add water and soap after use, shake and rinse x2, and it's good to go again.

I personally don't put it in the dishwasher but I'm not sure if you wanted to, if it would be okay. I tossed the packaging also so can't refer back to that. However, my recommendation is immediately after using, run it under hot water and use a scrub brush to clean (so that the bristles get in between the blades) and let it air dry. I would't want to chance meat juice drying on the blades and not being able to properly clean it.

It states in the instruction manual to hand wash the inner lid and pan. It does state NOT to use the dishwasher for the inner lid and pan because they have a delicate finish, doing so may damage the pieces. Hope this helps.

I do not own a dishwasher but all parts are glass and I would think they are safe. I use them as spice jars.

It is definitely NOT dishwasher safe. A long emersion in hot water damages the seal between the gear and the blade. This is true with any blender. If you clean it in the dishwasher once or twice, you probably won't notice a problem, but eventually, your jar will be damaged and cease to work.
