The inner pot could go in the dishwasher(its big). We don't bother since its so easy to clean.

The inner stainless steel pot, silicone sealing ring, and anti-block shield are all dishwasher safe. Having said that, the inner pot comes clean very easily with just a little soaking - and I've only used the dishwasher once. The lid with sealing ring and anti-block shield will remain clean under most cases, and usually requires only a quick rinse under the tap. There is a lip around the body of the instant pot where the lid fits that can, on occasion get food trapped into, and this is a little more difficult to clean, though some wiping with a paper towel usually moves the food to an area that is accessible.

The lid and gasket can be easily washed by hand. Would not put the lid or the gasket in the dishwasher. The pot comes out of the Instant Pot shell so it can be easily washed. Guess the pot can be put in the dishwasher (if the dishwasher is big enough) - but we usually just soak it and wash it easily later.

The stainless steel pot comes out for cleaning and could be put in the dishwasher. It is rather large so I usually wash mine by hand but if you have room in your dishwasher it can certainly go in there. The top just needs to be rinsed off under running water.

The pot goes In the dishwasher. You have to wash the cover by hand but it's really not a big deal.

Here's a protip on cleaning the stainless steel insert. When the insert starts to get discolored just pour in some white vinegar and let sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse with water and wipe dry. Your insert should be nice and shiny again.

The pot is super easy to clean. Just add a few cups of water, bring to pressure, release, wipe clean.

Never put the cover in the dishwasher but it's easy to clean. Insert is pretty light and can go in the dishwasher but nothing ever sticks to it anyway, even though it is not non-stick, so spunge works too.

The pot is stainless steel and cleans easily in the dishwasher. The lid and exterior wipe off easily.

I have never tried the dishwasher, not worth taking the chance. Guess I am not much help, sorry! Its easy to do by hand though.

I find it relatively easy to clean, yes. I let the basket soak a little then just scrub it with a soapy brush. But I think it's also dishwasher safe as 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!

So far, it is very easy. The instructions say that hot water and soap are all you need. I know it is not dishwasher safe, so I have been running water in the pot, a splash of soap, rinse. I washed it when I bought it and after every 2-3 uses; if I boil water and use the entire pot, I leave the lid up and let it air dry and dont bother washing it. We have hard water, so in glassware, I have to keep an eye out for hardwater rings - that is why I clean it every couple of uses and not every single use. Hope this helps!!! :-)

I've never washed it in the dishwasher, just by hand. If you only cook rice in it, it's really easy to clean. I've had this for two years now and love it.

I hand wash mine but it's super easy to clean up. Get it, you will love it.

I never put mine in the dishwasher. I just wash with soap and water, and let it dry thoroughly. Easy peasy.

It is very easy to clean. Sometimes I just rinse with hot water & sometimes in hot soapy water, then rinse & put on towel or in dish rack to dry.

Very easy to clean. Just throw it in the dishwasher or wash it quickly by hand. Nothing needs to air dry and there are no small parts to worry about.

It's not hard at all to clean. I clean mine every time after I cook. I use a glass cleaner and paper towels. The same as you would clean your mirror. It's spotless. I clean the stainless weekly with with a stainless steel spray on cleaner, the same one that I use on my fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. It's not at all hard

I have never put it in the dishwasher. I just use Dawn or whatever soap you use and wash it that way. Just take the top off and it only takes about 5 min or less. That's why I like this feeder so much.

It is so easy to clean. I just take it in and wash it in warm soapy water, no scrubbing needed.

I've not tried to put it in the dishwasher, but it's easy to clean as long as you rinse it out right away. The directions say to just rinse it out and fill it part-way with water and run it for a bit and that's it. For smoothies, that's really all you need. No need to disassemble.

I haven't had any trouble at all. I usually just rinse it and have found that it cleans very easily with no need for scrubbing. Never have used dishwasher. I used it at least 2x/wk and have had it for several months.

It's super easy to clean. I just throw it in the dishwasher with the plastic top on the top rack. If you are washing by hand the only tricky part would be the mouthpiece, but you can fit a finger in there. The main body is probably slightly too small for a hand, but you can just fill with sudsy water and rinse.
