Is the bowl plastic or glass? Is it dishwasher safe? if you place a plate on it, can you still read the display?

Mine most certainly did NOT make it through the dishwasher. The bowl was basically ruined. The scale still works fine though.

Well its plastic. You can clean it with some bleach. Actually, the one I've had for about a year now hasn't shown any muck on it. It is quiet heavy plastic so if it does get gross or get bacteria on it, you can take it down, take out the ipad/iphone, and give it a gentle scrub with some bleach and water. The speakers are sealed into the curtain so they are good. Just be sure to seal up the ipad slot so water cant' get in when you clean it and its as good as new.

It's plastic which makes it very light weight. Most large measures are glass. It took real searching to find a plastic one!

It is plastic. "OXO" says it is dishwasher safe, top shelf. Microwave safe except for heating oils.

Yes it is dishwasher safe, but you really don't have to put it in the dishwasher. That's taking into consideration that you are putting clean dishes in it. You can also do a quick rinse of it in the sink.

Glass? I'm not sure about that, I once had to replace my stainless steel bowl lock because it was worn out. What is the problem your having getting it to lock in currently?

I checked the box and the plate. No where is it written either way. The item is made in Mexico. No where is written that it is dishwasher or microwave unsafe. On the other hand no where does it say it is safe either. The plates are sturdy.

The plastic is made of a high density polyethylene that is BPA free, according to the manufacturer's description. It is dishwasher safe, but I hand wash it and air dry. I've been very pleased with mine.

This is a hollow rugged plastic. You could drop it and it likely would not be damaged. Really nice display quality. Large.

We have had the HotSmart Plate for several months and have had no issues with it. I do not put it in the dishwasher but wash it by hand soon after use. It sounds as though you may have received a defective plate if you are treating it in this manner. I would ask for a replacement for sure.

I forgot all about it! I ruined it in the dish washer long time ago. I'm pretty sure it's plastic inside!

I'm not sure how big is your bowl. I put my big salad bowl on it and can still read the display clearly. Hope this helps.

I gave it as a gift, so I'm not positive, but it's a lighter clay/porcelain material. I would suggest hand washing it though. I'm sure you could put it in the dishwasher, but carefully on the top shelf and the attachment on the metal ring would probably need to be removed. I think hand washing would just be less of a pain. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

it is soft plastic so it cannot be oven proof or microwave safe but it is dishwasher safe--- i have already thrown out the biggest one... do not cook with this garbage

I have no idea. It is plastic and should be safe but why do you want to put it in a dishwasher anyway?

Only the detachable bowl the food dispenses into. The main portion of the unit that holds the food is electronic so that would not be dishwasher safe.
