Has anybody had any problems with scratching of the finish?

Wow, never thought I would ever see that question. We have had a white Kitchen aid for 31 years. There are some superficial blemishes in the paint but not down to the metal, after 31 years sort of expect a little wear. My wife loved that one so much she felt like she needed a newer one. So I got her the KSM152PSCP in brushed nickel. She has only had it maybe 5 years. Because of the type of finish if it has scratches, you can not tell. Oh yea, the old one still works great, the new has a more powerful motor. She wanted the new one because of the motor and the finish.

I've had mine for a year and no scratches! I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and it's still beautiful! I use mine about 3 times a month.

I've had my KitchenAid mixer for years now (brushed nickel color) and no scratches- still looks new (and yes, I do use it!)

I bought my copper one in 2005. It still is drop dead gorgeous. It sits on the counter and is used at minimum once a week. I have every attachment and beater and a 6 qt model for larger tasks. Since the bowl on the tilt up model screws onto a stainless steel base and is used most often with a Rubbermaid spatula you would have to deliberately scratch it. These products are tough and the 5 qt and up are used in restaurants and test kitchens. My executive chef husband has two in his kitchen. His grandmother had one for over 40 years in off white. They are very durable.Your hardest problem would be deciding on a color. I bought my copper one in 2005. It still is drop dead gorgeous. It sits on the counter and is used at minimum once a week.

I have not had those issues with my set, but I want to point out I rarely get to use my set due to only being home occasionally. My toddler nieces enjoy them when they visit. No visible chrome scratches so far from them climbing up and down the stools. When I do use them, they never disappoint as far as performance. They look just as good today as they did upon coming out of the box.

Yes, I have and not left any scratches. However I do usually use wood spoons. Love this Pot. Use it for stews and soups. By the way , I am half Irish!!

I've never had a problem with scratching but I don't put my machines on a trailer. They sit on the edge of the driveway.

I have been using one with my Walther PPS 40 for several months..... have not seen any scratching so far.

I have not had any issues, but I avoid using any "green" scrubber type cleaning. It's not surprising it scratched. I usually just soak it in warm soap water and wipe with a cloth to clean them.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.

I have not noticed any scratching on th interior or exterior on any of my pots or pans. I have also used metal utensils, and a fork on them. I was wary of this too, but made the decision to buy as most of the negative reviews said external scratching. The only thing I won't use on them is a scouring pad, metal wool etc and you will notice if you get them that you really don't need to use that stuff.

I just needed it for after knee surgery, so I don't have an answer for long term use. But it doesn't appear to be a finish that would peel off. Can't tell you for sure about scratching, but there are no marks on mine yet.

We have the dark brown and we love it. We haven't had any problems with scratching or water spots.

I also purchased the Surge multi-tool with the black oxidized finish. Mine was not shiny either. It had a somewhat "oily" coating that did seem a little smudged but now after use looks just fine. It definitely should not have come with scratches on it however. I use the multi-tool everyday. It has taken a beating and just keeps on going. To me a few scratches would not have been a huge deal because, as a tool, I know that I will be adding some scratches as my own during use. But if the scratches bother you, I'm sure that would be a good enough reason to return it. Some advice though: do not return it and get something different. This is by far the best multi-tool that I have ever owned!

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I have two of these chairs on my hard wood floor and I haven't seen any problems with scratches or any dents so far ... had mine a year or so and just bought another one ;)

Kydex is actually pretty smooth. I had the same concern. However, it is just like any other type of holster: after time, finish will wear, but that's over an extended period of time. Now I have noticed some marks on my 1911, but some Hoppes 9 seems to get rid of it, so I don't think it's a "scratch". Just keep the holster clean, and keep dirt out of it. If an abrasive gets in there, like dirt, then you may have to worry. Hope this helps.

The no stick coating is thin and easily scratched on my MSC-400 too. I registered my unit at www.cuisnart.com where you can find out about parts. Mine came with a 3 year 'limited warranty' which covers defective parts. I doubt scratching is covered. It is impressively no-stick and I have not used anything harsher than a terry type dishcloth to clean. I have tried to be very careful cooking and stopped using the browning feature for concern about scratching bones etc. because the coating is very thin. I see outside is getting scuffed from ordinary use. I see in a crock pot cooking books that a removable plastic type liner is always used. That may be the way to go to deal with scratches if warranty does not cover.

So far I have not had any scratches and its easy to keep clean with just a damp cloth. I wouldn't say it would never scratch - anything can - but with normal usage should be OK. The one I received had been damaged before being packaged (at the factory) but has not yet deteriorated any further.
