can it be placed in the dishwasher? can it be washed by hand? Does anything happen with the filter if it gets wet?

I put it in the dishwasher with no problems. I use the "air dry" setting, though I don't know if that is necessary. It's fine other than the latch no longer working after just a few months of light use, which I don't think was a result of the dishwasher.

there's no filter. evertything is plastic. so you can wash in dishwasher or by hand. the green lid is perforated.

It does come apart somewhat, but hand washing, rinsing is very easy. You place the composte baggies inside so there is not alot of mess to it. There is not a filter. I refrain from putting onions in mine. That has been the only strong smell I have encountered.

It could probably go in dishwasher or wash by hand. It uses disposable bags that are biodegradable. I will attract many flies and moths to your kitchen

Yes, it can go in the dishwasher/top rack. or by hand.... There isn't really a filter, per say....just tiny tiny holes in the top to keep air circulating. works very well...bw

I bought this a few months ago, and there isn't any filter. The top has tiny holes in it that I believe allow the gases that are expelled during decomposing to escape. I've only needed to wipe it down so far, but I think the paper that came with it showed that it can all be broken down to put in the dishwasher.

We always wash ours by hand. It is too big for our dishwasher. I don't remember if the literature said anything about it being dishwasher safe. Sorry we can't help more!

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.

I'm not able to answer, I haven't put it in the dishwasher. It seems like it would get cleaner in the crevices and rollers if hand washed.

I always hand wash, I believe it could go in the dishwasher though. It comes apart nicely and it does work great.

I wouldn't put it in a dishwasher. Warm water and mild soap should do the trick...........Hope this helps

Hi, Jimmy C. Yes. In fact, it should only be washed by hand as it's not dishwasher safe. Use only clear, regular hand soap (not dish soap) and soft cloth.

I've never washed this in a dishwasher...nothing sticks, so I wash it by hand.

The blade is separate from the filter, which it needs to be for easy cleaning. It is heavy duty stainless and while the maker says it is dishwasher safe, I wash by hand. I wouldn't put my best knifes in the dishwasher either. We use it everyday. Hope this helps Eileen.

Good question, I don't have a dishwasher so I wouldn't know. I would personally stick with hand-washing it. A quick rinse and wipe off is all you need. Unless it's made from stainless steel, which I don't think it is, a dishwasher may not be the best idea.

I put it in the dishwasher and am OK with the results. It doesn't get as shiny clean as if you hand wash it.

I definitely wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. Just rinse in shower with soap and water. I feel to many food contaminates in dish washer to trust doing that. Being it rinses through the nasal passage you want to keep it clean.

Manufacturer says not to put in dishwasher, but I've put the carafe and the filter in the top rack of my dishwasher a few times. No problem, but not a good idea for daily washing. I use Palmolive, wash by hand.

we don't wash it in the dishwasher, doesn't fit ours, but even if it didn't , we would wash it by hand anyway. no big deal!

I've only washed it in the dishwasher a couple of times but have had no issue. However, I usually wash by hand.

Hi Margaret, I've never tried washing them in the dishwasher. I think they may just be glued and the hot and cold changes may damage the filters (and they cost too much for me to even try it).

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
