so is stainless all that ($20) better than the plastic version?

Yes very sturdy, can be used to serve salad. Plastic is lighter making spinner harder to control. And plastic stains.

I would say- the plastic and wooden are better, in a case of stainless utensilis- the small scratches are possible.

For me, I prefer stainless sitting on glass instead of the glass on glass effect because it feels too fragile. As for the benefits of the stainless vs. glass, I feel like heat retention and cleanup are where it keeps me satisfied. Plus I much prefer the aesthetic of steel/glass in my kitchen. Hope this helps!

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!

I have the older stainless model. It holds an edge really well and so far has been pretty good at resisting corrosion.

stainless is better in an outdoor salt -air environment, it was a feature that helped me make my decision

Stainless is durable and ok for all to drink from. Not galvanized. Plastic is no good. Pyrex glass is better but it breaks.. Shelters use stainless steel. But vets caution because of metal components in the containers and medical issues. There are metal interactions with galvanized that can cause problems.

The plastic Oxo works well, but I think the stainless version may be sharper, and cut more easily. I am going to try that one.

Maestro: The plastic model works well, But for the few extra $'s (10.00) I would get the stainless if I had to do it again.DO NOT put the plastic version in the dishwasher. If you take it apart and do this it will loose its shape.

I just saw a dehydrator on ebay with stainless steel shelves for $269 with free shipping. It is STX DEHYDRA 1200W - XLS 10 TRAY COMMERCIAL 100% STAINLESS FOOD DEHYDRATOR. I think they are on there quite frequently. I, too, am looking for a good dehydrator, and the reviews on this Amazon one are the best I have seen. I have seen a lot of review on the ones with stainless steel trays and they apparently are NOISY. I have a small house and don't want a ton of noise, which is one of the reasons this one on Amazon appealed to me, but the plastic trays are a definite drawback. I think I will keep looking a bit longer, but I may end up going with this one, plastic or not. :-)

I recommend the stainless version!!! cuz the rods are flexible, the water can go into the connections!

It is different. Because it is plastic it has a "plastic" taste to it, and for me one of the wholes doesn't play to full strength. For the money(if you were considering buying the set) it's worth it. But the metal one is overall better.

Stainless steel. Not that great but overall, easy to clean and a great value!

All the parts are pretty simple, so there are not many difficult crevices to get into and try to clean. That was one reason I chose this model and the stainless is way easier than the plastic.

You may like this better. The plastic handle can easily be replaced with a $2. drawer pull and stainless screw. All stainless, no plastic. Did not smell bad when out of the box. I did wash it with baking soda, and let it sit a while before rinsing to remove any manufacturing reside. Chef's Choice 685 International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

The brushed stainless steel, in my opinion, hands down, is better looking and functioning than the chrome.
