Is everything but the motor base dishwasher safe? Is it easy to clean? I have one that sits in the cupboard since it is a pain to use.

No, ver y easy to celan. I just hand Wash. Just use the spatula for crevices.

NO, not fully. From the Breville manual: "Processing Bowl and Lid Hand wash in hot, soapy water using a mild detergent. Do not use a scouring sponge or pad or abrasive cleaners as they will scratch the plastic surface. The plastic parts may occasionally be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only). It is not recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged exposure to hot water temperatures and harsh detergents will damage and shorten the life of the plastic."

Yes, everything but the base is dishwasher safe. I find it so easy to hand wash, that I have never had to put it in the dishwasher. I have had the Breville food processor for a few months and love the design. I much prefer it over the Cuisinart I used for 5 years. It is much simpler to clean. I hope that helps.

Yes, the blades and the lids are dishwasher safe but I rarely throw them in there. Prefer to handwash It is super easy - even the runber gasket on the lid can be slipped out and back in, quite easily.I am quite a serious homecook and put my Breville to good use everyday. Love the ease and engineering of this machine.

Haven't had much of any issues there. ONce I thought I had actually damaged the inside surface down toward the blades. No chance on that. Cleaned up real nice after running it through the dishwasher. Other than that, the other responses seem to echo mine.

Yes, the parts are dishwasher safe. Honestly though, mine has never gotten that dirty that it needed a tough scrub. Usually I just add water and soap after use, shake and rinse x2, and it's good to go again.

I have washed the food processor bowl, blade and lid and the whip attachment. I washed the attachment that holds the rotary tools once in the dishwasher, and it wasn't harmed, but it did have some water stuck in the upper portion that had to be drained out after. Now I just rinse the attachment holder and the blades by hand after using and don't bother with the dishwasher. The motor part of the blender definitely doesn't go in the dishwasher or immersion in the sink, but it has never needed anything more than a wipe with a dishcloth.

The unit is very easy to clean. I don't find it slimy at all. It is a little tricky placing one of the foam filters in the correct spot and removing and repositioning the plastic piece. I have found that it is easier to position the motor in it's place after the foam and plastic piece slide into place. Once you do this once, it is easier to do as you know how to position it. The unit is very easy to clean and all the parts are plastic and can be washed with hot water and dish soap. There are no areas that require a brush or hard to get to.

I can't recall what the manual suggests but I've dish washered mine with no problems. Have fun! It's a great item.

Can't be dishwasher cleaned as the base is a rubber cover that is "pulled" off to replace batteries within the base. Hand wash/rinse and dry. No problem. Been using for several months now. Really love it. We'll see after a year of use.

We cleaned ours by hand - not sure if it would be okay in the dishwasher. The only part that disassembles for cleaning is the bottom part that it rests in. Pretty easy clean though

No. The only part that even looks dishwasher-safe is the gray plastic gripper that holds the food against the blade. Everything else has to be cleaned with spray cleaner like Fantastik. (They probably recommend this because the blade might rust if it got wet.) But, believe it or not, this machine is superior to others because all the key parts can be removed, which makes it a lot easier to clean them properly. Some other models have carriages that can't be removed, which makes them harder to clean.

I throw it in the dishwasher. If you don't use a dishwasher, then yes, it would be harder to clean because of the crevices. I really love food processor and have had it for a couple of years now. Your wife will love it :)

Yes, it is quite easy to clean as the popping plate separates from the base. It is supposed to be dish washer safe but the bottom of the plate is bare aluminum which does not do well in the dishwasher. I clean it with soap and water.

I would say the bottom is NOT dishwasher safe. The top should me. The thing only takes a minute to clean using normal hand washing. Really as easy as can be. I don't bother with a dishwasher on this

No sorry, but it's so easy to clean I never thought about putting it in the dishwasher. It's big too.

Yes dishwasher is no problem you can clean like any other utensil. Actually it is very strong and light. I keep this in my travel bag so I always have a fork/spoon and just clean it in the sink at hotels. It has a nice combination of smooth spoon area and matte finish handle makes it easy to clean and hold.

I have one and just wash it by hand. Not sure if it's dishwasher safe or not. But You don't really need to wash it a lot.

Yes, I put mine in the dishwasher all the time, just needs a little hand-scrubbing first. Just be sure to unscrew the "can" from the base first. :-)

I don't have a dishwasher so I can say from experience. But when I us it, it usual has some heavy residue that is probably best cleaned by hand scrubbing. It might work in a dishwasher if pre soaked. Either way the pleasure it will give you in use it worth it.
