Can this be washed in the dishwasher? That would solve the problem of the sharp blades at the bottom... Thanks!

Yes it can be washed in the dishwasher...sometimes though bits of the vegetable gets stuck between the blades and i just use a brush to get it out. But it's not a deal breaker or anything. This gadget is AMAZING! I use it almost on a daily basis. I've never eaten so much zucchini in my life!

I don't own a dishwasher, but all you do is buy a bottle brush (not the sponge type) and use that to clean the blades by lightly swishing it back and forth over the blades. Takes 2 seconds and works great.

The short answer is yes, you can wash them in a dishwasher. However, I wouldn't recommend it for any knives that you want to stay sharp. Dish washing detergent is really abrasive and dulls knives really fast. I've read other reviews where they have also seen brown rust-like spots show up on them after washing them in the dishwasher. I've always hand-washed and dried mine and have had no problems.

I have never tried...but why wash a piece of high quality cutlery in the dishwasher?! It is so quick and easy to hand wash following use, and no pieces of food will get stuck on that way.

I still have the original package and it does not specifically say dishwasher safe. However the blade is made of stainless steel and the handle is made of durable bakelite. The knife has a lifetime serrated edge. I personally would not put it in the dishwasher because this dulls knives in general. I doubt a serrated edge can be sharpened. I have used it several times and I love it. I use it to cut cheese and it works really well.

I hand washed mine. But I don't see why you couldn't put it in the dish washer.

I have washed mine in the dishwasher without issue (no dulling, chipping, rusting, etc) - I do not recall if they were specifically labeled as dishwasher safe though.

Wouldn't heat degrade any kind of knife's ability to hold an edge when put in the dishwasher, if that was the case? I put this knife dishwasher and had no problems. Only had the knife since before Thanksgiving, though. I also have an Accusharp that takes the dull edge off of knives when I don't have time to get them professionally sharpened.

Even though I have a dishwasher I often wash the set by hand. It's no more dangerous than any other grater/cutter.. I have never cut myself washing it (although I did julienne my finger when cutting a carrot one time - my fault). Just be sure to make all your washing strokes in the opposite direction from the one you would use when cutting and you should be fine.

It is recommended that you wash them by hand--all good knives need to be washed by hand rather than the dishwasher to help keep them sharp.

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.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.

You just have to keep in mind that there are 2 sharp edges. I wash it with a thin sponge or a small dish washing brush. Just make sure you only clean in the direction away from the sharp edges so the blade can't dig into the sponge or brush. I've cleaned mine both by hand and in the dishwasher with equally good results.

I've never put mine in the dishwasher. When they get a little dull looking, I add a little bleach to some clear warm water and let them sit for a few minutes, then rinse them off.

It would be fine. I usually hand wash mine, just be careful as it is really sharp. I use either a sponge or a dish mop, then rinse under hot water and let it air dry. I love mine, it is so easy to use, and makes a very clean cut. Hope this helps.

I have run mine through the dishwasher a dozen or so times. No sign of rust what-so-ever! I do not put my knives in the dishwasher, but found this has too many blades (that are very sharp) to safely wash by hand and get it thoroughly clean.

Always wash knifes and Cookware by hand, even if it says, there dishwasher safe. The dishwasher dulls knifes, and this type of handle. Also someone can put there hands in the dishwasher and get a awful cut from the knifes.

I just wrap mine in cloth and keep it away from anything in the drawer that might dull it prematurely. It is extremely sharp. My fiancé and I have both had minor but painful accidents when washing dishes!
