Is the Amco Swingaway can opener dishwasher safe?

yes, in the upper rack. The blades will probably rust though. I rinse the unit, wipe it dry & only diswasher it occassionally.

It says right in the description that it's dishwasher safe. Just make sure to let the lid cool off before manipulating the tabs or you can break them off.

I'm not really sure as I don't have a dishwasher. I don't know why it wouldn't be as the parts are either steel or hard plastic and there don't seem to be any warnings. It's certainly easy enough to clean manually.

It doesn't say anything on the box about using a dishwasher. But the plastic it is made out of isn't very thick so to be safe, I am washing mine by hand.

No it doesn't say dishwasher safe. I do clean my that way without incident ......I would like to add this is the best grater I have ever owned and even if I had to wash it by hand I would always have this brand.

Wow, that's really far gone. I've had my black handle opener over two years. It gradually got very hard to use and took me a long time to realize what was happening. I guess every time you wash it you run some lubricant out of the bearing or it starts getting rusty inside or whatever. A drop of oil made it work better than new. That bearing could be improved, my old Swingaway (same design) worked many many years and never got oiled. I should be receiving my second black one any day now.

This is great can opener. The handles appear to be solid and are enclosed. I have never put mine in the dishwasher. I wash and dry mine by hand.

In fact, it is! I had long since thrown away whatever documents it came with. However, if you go to the product page on http://amazon.com, and scroll over the product image to zoom in, you can clearly see that KitchenAid states the product is dishwasher safe. It's in the upper right corner of the image in a red box with white text.

I wouldn't put this in the dishwasher. I just give it a swish in soapy water, rinse and let it dry on one of those spongy drying pads before I put it away. Pretty easy to maintain and it works great. I've done the same with previous can openers that eventually rusted and just looked nasty. I looked for stainless to avoid that and this one is the best-NO problems, stayed sharp.

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've owned the WMF Profi Plus Stainless Steel Can Opener for 2 1/2 months and use it 5-6 times per week. There has been no issue with rusting, although I make certain that I pat dry the opening apparatus after each use and I air-dry the opener itself, if it has been washed, by hand, along with the dishes. I can't tell you about cleaning it in a dishwasher, since I don't use one. It's a great manual can opener, if it's taken care of.

I have never put it in the dishwasher, but I am sure it is, as Anchor Hocking makes a safe durable product. I LOVE mine, and the indented area for a handgrip makes it really nice when it comes it if the fridge cold.....

I've used this opener for a while now, and no rust. The blade is stainless steel, and the handles are stainless steel as well. The rest is plated steel. Don't immerse it in the sink or the handles will end up with water inside them. DO NOT put it in the dishwasher! This will also fill the handles with water, and will shorten the life of the rubber handles inserts, and the opener twist knob rubber. Best way to clean it is to scrub the blade under running water, then just stand it upright in the dinnerware basket on the dish drained. This is how we treated our last OZONE opener, and it lasted FOREVER! This is a very good opener, and I highly recommend it. Take care of it, and it will last for years.

Washing the blade, no (too sharp- it would cut the dishwasher rack or dull itself banging against other items). I also wouldn't put the sliding tray in the dishwasher (sealed dial wouldn't dry, so it could rust hidden metal bits). There is a metal push plate you could wash safely. Other small plastic piece ( separator blade) is too small, so could get lost. So my answer would be mostly no to dish washer.

Yes it is dishwasher safe. I am learning you need to make sure the pineapple is all the way off of it before washing it or it comes out with a piece if pineapple still on it. Washed it in the dishwasher several times no problems.

Yes, I put mine in the dishwasher after each use and have had no problems so far.

It should be, I was mine by hand which is very simple. The handle material is some kind of molded synthetic material, but it's very sturdy and water resistant - so I can't imagine a dishwasher ruining it...
