Are these sets actually dishwasher safe?

All of the sets on this list are marketed as dishwasher safe, and verified-purchase reviewers across Amazon, Walmart, and Macy's largely back that up for the 18/10 sets. The most common caveat raised in specialist-subreddit threads is that knife blades on cheaper sets, and on some Mikasa lines specifically, can pick up rust spots after repeated cycles, often because the blade itself is a harder, lower-chromium steel than the handles.
