I purchased one last January (2013) and it is rusting now. Isn't it supposed to be rust resistant?

Because it is crome plated does not mean it won't rust. The problem I have with this product that I purchased only about five weeks ago is the shine went away to a plain steel finish in about two weeks. I am afraid mine will rust right behind yours! Mine does not even have direct contact with water! The crome finish is substandard for its use and should have been coated better. My review to others is to simply save your money and not buy this brand!! Sorry but I don't have a better answer for you. This was the perfect size and not inexpensive. I am very disappointed in the item!!

I've only had mine for a while, and I washed it and NO rust.. Cheap grades of stainless will rust.. There are different grades of stainless steel..

I would contact them directly for a correct answer. I love mine and I've ha it for two years or so and it's never rusted and it's easy to clean. I'd buy this again. Hope this helps!

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

We've been using it for 8 months about once a week and it looks same as when we bought it. I think it won't rust

So far no. I haven't had mine too long though--2 or 3 months. Hope it doesn't rust.

I've had mine about 8 months and it has not rusted. I don't know if it can go in the dishwasher, have just wiped mine down.

Purchased December 2011. We use it several times each week. We rinse or wash it and toss it in the drying rack to air dry. We haven't had any of the rust issues you are concerned about. If I can find a way to upload a picture of ours, I'll do that so you can see.

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

Using for about 8 months and no signs of rust. I had a similar unit for several years and it did show some signs of rust. I returned it to simplehuman and they gave me a brand new one, no questions asked.
