Yeti Rambler

[jfkbengals]

Much like anyone else who has ever used one, I love the thing. Back when I got my first one, Yeti was adamant that it should not go through the dishwasher, and there were reviews of people who for whom it worked fine, and others who said it was never the same after doing so.

Well, we have quite a few of them, and hand washing is a pain in the ass. As Yeti has now changed their stance on newer ones, I'm considering throwing them into the dishwasher. At the price point though, I'm hesitant to try it as I don't want to have them get screwed up.

So, to all the Rambler owners out there, how do you clean yours?

I just hand wash it. It's not that big of a deal.

Why is it not dishwasher safe? Isn't it just stainless steel?

Sometimes seals are soft rubber.

I had a stainless steel mug with a plastic piece on the bottom that would fill with water in the dishwasher .

People always remark about how expensive their products are, but boy, do they ever work phenomenally.

Well it looks like three are only other board members who own them

I have a lot of Yeti drinkware because I love it. I'm honestly a little embarrassed about how much I have. The only reason I ever hand wash is if I plan to use it again right away. I've had zero problems with any of it and going through the dishwasher.

Same.

I just remove the rubber seal thingy and run them through the dishwasher. I wash the seal by hand.

The first couple we had I left the ring on. It started to grow mold on the backside and crack on the front.

I wonder if it is a VA thing???

The seal cracked, or the lid?

Seal. Never had an issue with the lids or the metal bodies, just the rubber band like seals. If you don't remove and clean them, they grow mold. If you run them through the dishwasher, they get brittle. The last couple I've gotten, I take the seals off and just wash them in soapy water by hand.
