Can this REALLY be put in the dishwasher, or will it turn black like my last one did?

I never put my great gadgets in the dishwasher, as once I find something that I really like using it becomes a treasure to me. I looked for many years for this item before I got the one I thought was the "BEST" and it is!

I usually hand wash it, but it's been in the dw several times and looks the same.

I had read that it shouldn't be put in the dishwasher.so I've only washed mine by hand Its easy

I never tried. I just rinse and brush it. I don't see why the dishwasher will hurt it as it is a solid die cast metal just don't let it stand in water for days.

I've put this in the top rack of the dishwasher many times with no problem.

We had to return ours--no response from manufacturer re. problems. Would not buy another.

I have not put in dishwasher. I'd rather not damage it. I wash it with sponge, dish washing liquid and water.

No. The finish is not smooth. I don't put it in the dishwasher since I use it often and need it in the drawer. It cleans easily.

I would never put it in the dish washer. Aluminum tends to turn dark stained or tarnishes when washed in a dish washer. The stain tarnish from what I have experienced can not be reversed. I think it has to do with the dish washer soap and high heat. Hand wash only I would say. Its works great for slow roasting a turkey!

I haven't put it into the dishwasher, I have just hand washed it. I would check manufacturer notes on that. :)

I have placed it in the dishwasher just make sure you do not use heat dry and it isn't near the heating coils, or just make sure the heated dry option isn't turned on....

I have the ones with black handles and put them in the dishwasher all the time. Don't know why the silver handles would be any different unless maybe it would cause discoloration.

I don't know, but I did put it in the dishwasher and it turned black. Nothing I did cleaned it and I had to throw it away.

I've never put mine in the dishwasher. When they get a little dull looking, I add a little bleach to some clear warm water and let them sit for a few minutes, then rinse them off.

I have never washed it in the dishwasher. I wash in soapy water and fill again with cheese and keep all in a sealed plastic bag ready for use. If I bought another grater of this type, I would want one much larger and easier to turn.

No, there is a platinum band round the edge. You could put it in the dishwasher but over time the detergent will erode the band and darken it.

Mine is the black one, and I have not put it through the dish washer yet. It is stoneware and I would assume it would be okay in the dish washer. But if you are concerned about it, buy some Dawn dish soap and wash it by hand with hot water. The Dawn will break down the grease and clean the stoneware really well.

I throw it in the dishwasher, I would not want to wash it by hand. I've never done it, but I think it would be a pain!

I don't put it in the dishwasher...seems like it could melt/ruin it. It's easy to handwash, though.

I washed my original one in the dishwasher, however the original finish became dull after putting it in there. That is why i bought the new beater so I would not recommend putting it in the dishwasher. I think they are made of some type of aluminum so it turns the beater dull and a dark gray color. It may be safe to put in the dishwasher but it changes the finish on it.

The dishwasher will stain the handle dark. Not quite black, but still, you'll know it when you see it. Already armed with this knowledge, I didn't let the rest of my family know to handwash-only the Rada knives and one of my sons indeed put his knife in the dishwasher. Buying its replacement was simple and fast via Amazon.

I don't think that should happen. I haven't had trouble with mine. It may happen if it said it isn't dishwasher safe and you put it in there. Contact the seller and return it.
