Don't Dishwash!
It's a stellar wok. I may have been a little too rough with it though. I've thrown it in the dishwasher. NOT A GOOD IDEA! and it's losing it's nonstick coating. I'll have to get another one. I'm not even sure why I did. It says right here not to dishwash. Oh well.

Purchased this to replace my old and worn Tfal wok. I really like the design of the bowl, much deeper and easier to cook in vs my old wok.Not so much spillage vs less deep designs.

Good, almost great
I have this and a Made In Wok. Personally think the Made In is too heavy. Taking one star off because the Made In seems a little more durable.
