Is this dishwasher safe or hand wash only?

Since the box only has Japanese characters, I can't speak to what the manufacturer, Hario, says with regard to dishwasher safety. I can only say that I have put it several times in the top rack of my dishwasher and so far haven't had a problem. That being said, my life is governed by Murphy's law, so I'm sure the next time I put it in the dishwasher, I 'll have a different tale to tell.

I'm not sure... I always hand-wash it. It is easily rinsed and large enough for a hand to go inside the pot to wipe dry....

I put it in the dishwasher regularly -- both the teapot and the mesh strainer. Washes beautifully. I use the top rack but it should be fine on the bottom rack as well. I do try to keep it safe from being banged in the dishwasher but it is not fragile. I am very happy with this teapot and would highly recommend it. Just note that it really makes two cups of tea, not more, and that it does not keep the second cup very warm (because it is light glass, not heat-holding ceramic). For me that is perfect.

I don't. I am not sure if it is dishwasher safe or not so I just hand wash mine.

Yes. It's dishwasher safe. I've had mine for over a year now, and it's held up great!

I have not had this problem. Although it says that it is dishwasher safe I hand wash mine just to be on the safe side. Not sure if that helps at all. I would contact the company though.

We have never washed it in the dishwasher. It is very easy to take apart and hand wash. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Not really sure but we always wash it by hand anyway. It may be too light for the dishwasher.

I hand wash mine and haven't put it in the dishwasher. That's just my choice.

I pretty much exclusively wash both of mine in the dishwasher and have had no problems :)

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

Mine say hand wash only also. I would not recommend dishwasher for this item. It is pretty chip resistent but I would not take the chance.

I've always washed mine in the dishwasher. I only wash it when necessary though. Haven't had any issues so far. I have had it for about a year.

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 believe it is only for handwashing dishes. I think dishwasher products are different. I don't use it in the dishwasher.

Yes, I only wash mine in the dishwasher and have never had any problems. :)

Some items in this line specifically say they are dishwasher safe. I have found info on this item on other sites that say it is hand wash only.

If it says handwash, I only handwash. You might try one in the top rack of your dishwasher if you don't want to handwash.

I have not put mine in the dishwasher. Washing by hand takes no time at all. Sorry I can't give you a positive answer.
