How well does it survive the dishwasher? Does the stainless steel develop a white powdery coating? Any corrosion?

In the "care for product" data sheet, instructions for care are covered. I clean the item after each issue in accordance with instructions and have had not problems. It is a great product, I have recommended it to friends, they were happy with it also.

I do not use my dishwasher! After each use of this wonderful can opener, I just wipe it with my dishcloth, make sure it is dry, and put it away for another day. This is by far the best can opener I have ever used, including electric ones.

I wouldn't put this in the dishwasher. I just give it a swish in soapy water, rinse and let it dry on one of those spongy drying pads before I put it away. Pretty easy to maintain and it works great. I've done the same with previous can openers that eventually rusted and just looked nasty. I looked for stainless to avoid that and this one is the best-NO problems, stayed sharp.

I haven't put it in a dishwasher but, it is stainless steel and see no reason it wouldn't be.

I think the dishwasher would eventually remove the coating. It's an easy clean up with a damp sponge and a little soap.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. It is made of stainless steel and though unintentional, it has made it to the dishwasher!

Had mine for many months now and it's not rusted. I hand wash it though, never been through the dishwasher.

If you put it in the dishwasher, the shiny aluminum on the back of the pan will turn a nasty dark grey color and leave it with a chalky residue that will transfer to your hands, a dish towel, etc....not to mention water will set in the rolled ring around the outside of the pan and rust in there, the support ring inside that rolled edge is usually not aluminum therefore it rusts. I had a similar pan before this one and that's what happened to it.

I have run it through the sanitize dishwasher cycle several times and it has held up very well (I use air dry, so can't confirm on heat resistance, but based on similar polyethylene items I've had in the past, I believe it would warp if I used heat dry)

My wife will not wash pans by hand. She told me staight up when I bought them that they were going into the dishwasher. After about a year of use and dishwasher washing they are still doing fine. My children also use them a lot and careless use of metal utensils has led to some light scratches in the most frequently used pans, but they still don't stick, and I haven't noticed much difference in performance due to the dishwasher. Still - one would expect longer life if you was them by hand. There is some change in color in the stainless base but it doesn't effect cooking performance.

I only wash it in the dishwasher and it has not rusted. I do not use it often, but since I bought it, have used and dishwashed it at least 10 times. No issues.

I have a painted one that didn't fare well cosmetically after a couple rounds in the dishwasher. I advise just buying the stainless one if you intend to use the dishwasher.

I can't answer this from personal experience (I don't own a dishwasher), but I have heard that the powdered exterior finish may be damaged in the dishwasher (it may lose its color). Again, I have no personal experience with this.

I haven't had any trouble with the coating or overall durability of this product. I am genuinely pleased with mine after two years and continue to recommend it to anyone with a KitchenAid.

If you put it in the dishwasher, the coating will come off of the exterior and you will be left with a gray metal, somewhat rough finish. Maybe that's it?

I wash it all the time in the dishwasher. It is stainless steel so it is very strong

Yes, I use it daily and was in the dishwasher. There haven't been any problems.

We have not had any rust, but we always wash by hand. It's never gone through our dishwasher.

Since it is metal is probably. I have noticed that stainless turns a bit purple in the dishwasher
