Not DW safe. I put it in the dishwasher and now it has a filmy dark gray residue coming off it, useless as I can’t use it to mix baked goods if stuff is coming off of it. It says it’s DW safe but now I have to buy a new flat beater. Not sure if I should buy an off brand to solve this or what...? Seems I’m not the only person with this issue. It’s a mixer I’ve had for a couple years and used only 15?times.
