any idea why they recommend not hand washing

Hi, Brian. If you re-read, it says they DO recommend hand washing for longevity. If you machine wash, it will eventually break or destroy the seal that connects the two layers. . . Hope this helps.

If you hand wash them instead of putting them on the top rack of the dishwasher it is more likely water will get between the two layers and you'll see some condensation between the walls of the cup. Although, I have hand washed mine a few times and it's never happened, I just don't submerge them.

When I read the description, I took it as they recommend hand washing over a dishwasher?

No, I hand wash mine and haven't had any problems lid still seels well no leaks. Cups have done well for me planning on buying two more

The finish can be scratched, although not easily, and if you want it to stay looking perfect, hand washing is better; however, I see no reason why the body cannot be machine washed. On the other hand, the top is somewhat complicated, and hand washing is probably a good idea. In my opinion, these are great products, very reliable in terms of maintaining desired temperatures, and not spilling; and worth any minor inconvenience related to hand washing.

Hi Lauren,Yes. We hand washed everything before sterilizing them. I am not sure if this is necessary, but we don't want to deal with bacteria build-up down the road. Annoying? Yes, but its for the good of our baby. Hope this help.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

Not safe. Hand wash & towel dry according to use & care instructions which I have followed and no signs of rust in over a year.

We hand wash them because they don't fit well in the Dishwasher. We use them for water, so washing is not critical. We love them!!

When you wash these kinds of things, you should be very gentle and use either brush cleaner or a mild antibacterial hand soap. I haven't had any problems, and I think they're just as good as the $10 ones at the store.

i have run them through a gentle cycle once just to clean them before use but i would still handwash them to be safe. they are small so it shouldnt be a burden

The tag says that you need to hand wash and air dry. I have not needed to wash mine as yet. I hope this helps.

It is not recommended by manufacturer to use in microwave or very hot dishwasher. Hand wash only recommended.

I can't recall, but nothing serious that I recall. You should wash before use anyway

I did not even think about washing the gloves since they have fine particles, I was afraid the agitation and water would create possible leaks. Instead, I use hand sanitizer to "sanitize" and deodorize them and let them dry in the sun.

They recommend hand washing them but I have put mine in the dishwasher since I purchased them and have not had any problems with them whatsoever.

Circulon recommends hand washing these...I always do and they last much longer. ALSO never cook above med high heat.

It's not advised. I was worried about that when I purchased them however, due to the non-stick coating, cleaning them by hand is quick and simple. No scrubbing. I typically use warm water, a little soap and a paper towel.

I've thrown out the box so I don't remember if it officially said not to dishwasher but it said to rinse and air dry so that's all we've ever done. Sorry, hope this helps.

I hand wash mine (no dish washer). I also use the nonabrasive scrubber and have had no problems.You may have received a flawed product and should contact the company.
