Is this actually stainless steel, or plastic finished to look like stainless steel?

It is actually stainless steel and an OEM product. It is simply glued on, unbelievable! I got replace mine because someone bumped into my bumper. I am very happy about the product and service

Don't have it but thinking about buying this - in the description it says ".... Features a polished stainless steel raised ribbed pattern to match the sporty styling of the Highlander"

It does look like metal, but it is a very strong plastic...and very durable. It looks great.

I'm not sure what you mean by "finished" but I can say that the front hood part and sides are made of stainless. The top and back parts are made of black painted steel and not stainless.

It looks like stainless steel, pretty solid, made from a few pieces soldered together. I can see solder points along the edge.

It has a stainless steel finish but the unit itself is not. Hope this helps.

I believe it is a heavy plastic, matte finish. Nicer than typical plastic pots.

Yes, it is stainless steel, except for the controls that is plastic. It is really cool.

It is plastic.... However the only reason I know it's plastic is because I just inspected it VERY CLOSELY after reading the querying email from Amazon. I have always assumed it is brushed stainless, like the tower and faucet. Definitely fooled me! We love the product. Certainly worth the price. I highly recommend it.

It's stainless, but the inner-workings are plastic.... for the money it's a good value and has worked flawlessly for me. The entire top is stainless, and has some weight to it. Once installed, it really looks just like the picture.

Oh it is definitely stainless steel! Very heavy so you will need help installing it!

Thank you for your interest in this item. This item's finish which looks just like brushed nickel also known as a stainless steel finish. If you have any further questions please let us know.

It appears to be plastic, but it is a good imitation of stainless steel and matches the stainless body exactly.

If it says stainless steel, it is. I have never heard of fake stainless steel. It is not painted on if that is what you mean.

The door has stainless steel paint finish and I think it is plastic. This unit is made for indoor use but could probably be used outdoor if protected from the weather. Extreme heat damaged a smaller unit I had - warped the insides when it was turned off and ambient temp. was 112F.

Its more of a satin nickel finish. Its a perfect match to my stainless still appliances.

It is smooth metal, that appears to be a painted metallic silver (I think it looks like some cheaper "faux" stainless steel refrigerator fronts I've seen). Does not look chrome or stainless or brushed stainless.
