It says that it is dishwasher safe so what is the straw made out of? Is it a sturdy plastic or a metal?

The large milkshake straws are made of standard plastic straw material. Much the same as one would find at McDonalds or 7-11. They have a larger diameter and are great for milkshakes and smoothies. I have never put them in the dishwasher but imagine they would hold up well. Hope this helps.

The straws are heavy plastic. They were a little too big in diameter for my needs. I personally would use these straws as a single use item, and then discard. They might go in dishwasher if you used the top rack. good luck.

They are pretty thick plastic. I have not put them in the dishwasher so I don't know if its safe. My daughter uses them for building bridges in an engineering club so they had to be pretty strong.

Straws are made of sturdy plastic. I don't put them in the dishwasher. I just hold them up to the faucet and run water through to clean them. I have no doubt that they would be just fine in the dishwasher.

I haven't put them in dishwasher...though they probably would be ok. Great for smoothies. And like others I also feel fine about throwing them out after use. They are a nice novelty item :)

They're plastic. I've washed them in the top rack of my dishwasher, but I wouldn't try them in the bottom. But they're also cheap enough I have no qualms about tossing them. They're great for smoothies!

The straws are made of sturdy plastic, but I have not placed them in my dishwasher.

I gave them as a gift. However, they were in a clear bag and appeared to be thicker and larger plastic straws.

It's a thick plastic. I think it will last as long as you wash it by hand and don't put it in the dishwasher.

Plastic, but it is durable and easy to clean. The bottles are also made of plastic and should not be put in the dishwasher. Ive ordered about 7 of these for family and friends. only one broke over a few years and it was replaced quickly without fees. Great product

plastic, however, it seems to be very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months and it is still perfect.

The handle is very welded on so I'm not seeing why it wouldn't be dishwasher safe. The entire mug is stainless steel with no plastics whatsoever. It should easily take the temperatures and water pressures from a dishwasher.

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

I usually hand wash, but have put it on top rack a few times just to make sure I'm getting the spouse and straw sanitized since they are plastic. The bottle indicates it is dishwasher safe.

It is plastic, but very thick and sturdy. I LOVE mine and highly recommend it!

Yes, it's all metal, can't think of any reason it would not be safe in the dishwasher; however it has been so easy to clean, I usually just do it by hand.

It's hard clear plastic with a green rubber ring - great in dishwasher and has not become cloudy. Sturdy for little hands & does not seem to topple easily.

The top and straw are dishwasher safe but the actual metal thermos is not. I think it's just not dishwasher safe because of the paint (mine had a cute cherry blossom design) but I've put in the dishwasher a couple times and it's been fine (top shelf of the dishwasher). Another point about this water bottle though - you have to screw the lid on really tight to avoid leaks. Like REALLY tight - sort of annoying.

I believe it's aluminum because of the weight. However, it is very sturdy and I've put mine in the dishwasher for years with no issues. Don't let this uncertainty keep you from buying this amazing kitchen gadget!

It is plastic. I ordered the stainless steel straws to go with it. This cup is amazing. It keeps your drinks cold for a lot longer than the plastic cups.

The straw is made out of BPA free plastic, you simply take the top and straw apart, and rinse it out, or you can soak it in soapy water to make sure it's clean. I just use some hot water quickly to rinse the flip top and the straw. No, you do not have to keep replacing it.

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.

It's plastic. A lot of people buy the stainless steel straws separately (as did I) but I think the original straw is just fine.

it's a very sturdy plastic. i believe the cutting teeth are metal though.honestly, this dispenser is great. we've tried 3 or 4 other ones and hated them all for one reason or another. after we decided this was the winner, we bought a few more for the warehouse. everyone likes them, and they've held up great.
