Can the top part go through the dishwasher?

Although the Owner Manual says it is "Dishwasher Safe", it cautions not to use the "SANI" setting, as high temperatures could damage the jar.The blending jar on the Model 51103 is a hard, clear plastic that has the look and feel of polycarbonate. I wouldn't seriously consider putting the jar into a dishwasher, as even hot tap water can cause such plastics to craze, i.e., develop hundreds of tiny internal cracks. The jar won't disintegrate, but it's clarity will be permanently degraded and its strength will be significantly reduced, so that it might shatter more easily if dropped.

Yes I think it could, but I don't because it is so easy to rinse out after use.

Truthfully, I"ve never tried it. I work at night and so as soon as I drink my smoothie, I wash it by hand.

I place the entire top in the silverware tray of my dishwasher and have had no issues! Hope this helps!

The cups and the top seem to be separate pieces of metal but I've never had an issue with this design. It cleans very easily, just don't put it in the dishwasher.

Yes. There is a plastic nut that allows you to easily disassemble the two main components of the top for washing. Yet another facet of how well designed this item is.

Yes! It comes apart easily and goes into the dishwasher (we use top rack only though). We wash it by hand sometimes, too when we are in a hurry.

A small hand could, but it is a tight opening. I usually just wash it in the dishwasher.

I don't own a dishwasher (although I'm married to one, <grin>). Seriously, I don't see why you can't put the base in a dishwasher if it's safe to do so with the lid. The base is all metal. I would probably be careful to only use the top rack for the lid, though.

If you can remove the top drawer in your dishwasher, then yes you could. If not, the lid is too big.

Yes, BUT remove the rubber seal ring before putting it in the dishwasher! It will eventually dry and crack if run through the hot and dry cycle.

Yes. I have had mine for several years and it always goes into the dishwasher with no problems to date and no signs of wear.

I have never washed it in the dishwasher, but I bet it would be OK. It's very sturdy plastic, you would probably want to remove top rack, and consider not steam drying, just to prevent the plastic from weakening. Although I have never done that, it would probably work just fine in my opinion.

We put ours through the dishwasher by itself with no issues. We had to take out the top shelf to do it! ha ha

No problems with the dishwasher. I put all my plastics on the top rack and haven't had a problem.

I wash mine in the dishwasher on the top all the time I have had no problem!

Yes, the lid just sits on top (and can rattle a little) and can be put in the dishwasher, along with the bowl itself.

While the filter doesn't specifically say that it's dishwasher safe, you probably could put it in the top rack and be ok.
