I have had mine for 9 years and they always go in the dishwasher without any problems. Hope this helps.

They are fine in the top rack. No cracks. But they melt and warp in the bottom rack.

Going on 5 years with some of ours and a the dishwasher is the same age. Have not had a single problem yet. They always go in the top rack like all glasses.

On a newer dishwasher with hot water, the seals can eventually crack (hairline -- you can't really see it) and afterwards you will notice condensation inside after washing them. Only washing them on the top rack minimizes or avoids this -- but they don't get the visible, splintery-looking cracks that thinner clear plastic can develop. The good news is that you can send them back to Tervis for free replacements. We had some for years that were fine except for that issue. I sent those back they sent replacements. HOWEVER -- they now have noticeable white, cloudy haze. From their website: "After several states banned phosphates from dishwasher detergents in 2010 for environmental reasons, detergent manufacturers removed it from all of their products. Eliminating the phosphates that strip food and grease from dishes during the wash impacts all drinkware, including glassware and plastic drinkware like Tervis products. An extra hand rinse in warm soapy water will help remove the haze. If after you run your drinkware through the dishwasher, there is still residue or haze, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent. If haziness does not dissipate, try using a very small amount of baking soda and a soft, wet cloth." I'm still trying to figure out how to get that off; it seems like I've tried everything (vinegar, baking soda, oxiclean, bleach, magic erasers -- it's not budging, though I can scratch through it with a fingernail). They're about to go back to Tervis unless someone can tell me the secret formula on how to really get it off.

The same thing happened to both my mother & sister in Law. All brands of glass measuring cups markings will deteriorate in the dishwasher. I only hand wash mine.

I couldn't imagine them being damaged by a dishwasher, by any means. They're extremely rugged, tempered glass. Mine is bumped and tossed around, inside of an empty glass Masson jar all the time. Never had any break. Hope this helps!

I wash them in the dishwasher all the time. I don't have the original package, so I'm not sure what it says on there, but I have washed them a number of times and they haven't warped or the paint chipped or anything.

They say not to put them in the dishwasher, but I do. No issues so far and I've had them since last December.

Mine haven't so far, and I bought them in February of 2014. I do put them in the dishwasher.

If you put them in the dishwasher ,it ruins the inside finish. Any way that's what the instructions said. Hope this is helpful.

Mine are starting to wear off and I haven't had them but about a year. I do put mine in the dishwasher though.

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

I have never noticed this however we usually dishwasher ours, top shelf. They always come out nice and clean. I'm sure I have hand washed them before in a pinch and did not notice a greasiness.

Godinger recommends washing these by hand, but I've used mine in the dishwasher and so far they still look great. I guess they can crack in the dishwasher..I believe these are lead crystal but I don't recall seeing it on the box.

Mine go through the dishwasher just fine. According the product description, they are BPA-free. I love mine.

I purchased a set with 12 place settings of these about 6 years ago and I wash mine in the dishwasher all the time with no issues. I am a little worried that these are not the same as what I got back then.

I can only say that we have put ours in the dishwasher (top rack) without damaging the product (visibly). I am not certain if you are supposed to put them in the dishwasher, or if doing so degrades the quality at some level that is not visible.

No. I have had my set over 3 years with no problems...they look like new. I recently added a second set and you can't even notice the difference between the two sets. I use mine everyday and and they go through the dishwasher many times a week.
