Anything that is described as All-Clad Stainless or All-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless has a smooth, shiny, stainless steel exterior.

The 4 base attachments look brushed and the legs have a chrome finish. I think there was a model when I purchased that was all steel and more expensive.

I have the chrome finish... It matches the faucet in the bathroom. I believe it comes in several finishes.

Hi - no polished chrome is not the same as brushed nickel. Polished chrome has a very shiny finish while brushed nickel has a duller more matte silver finish. Hope that helps.

Just checked mine. 36 quart purchased July 2015. The handles are indeed welded, but the lid is flat, not domed as show in the photo.

I just bought one for our Donut Shop. The exterior finish is a satiny brushed silver look, very close to a brushed stainless steel. Its not shiny like polished chrome, but it is shiny like brushed stainless steel.

Look at the space you typically have between burners on your stove. The 8 quart might overly crowd the back burner, making it useless, where as the 6 won't.

I have the polished chrome which shines and is different than the brushed nickel. I don't know about stainless. I thought it had a shine too.

I asked this question to sales associate at a Fergusion Showroom. They said 1 is the older finish that is being phased out and the other is the newer finish - sorry I can't remember - I think the artic was less shiny - but they were very similar. The artic stainless on the Cassidy some may think is a little more like brushed nickel - we a very happy.

I have the 9 quart so I don't really know, but the 9 quart is not crazy big, and I am glad I got the bigger one. I am really happy with it, steams 3 items really fast and delicious. And the stainless is beautiful!

The finish is shiny (not glaringly so, just not a brushed finish), and has stayed so for the 6 months we've been using ours (with normal silverware use and washing in the dishwasher).

I am not sure - I don't have other chrome in my kitchen so maybe I can't see a comparison so I don't notice the Bluish color that other reviews discussed. I know it looks like a brushed chrome but can't see a blue. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

The exterior is silver and the pot itself is black like in the picture for the.7 quart. I also own the.4 quart and the exterior is silver and the.pot itself is white unlike the picture in this case.

The brushed stainless is beautiful, I LOVE this faucet, been using it for 5 months now. I think the chrome would water spot easily, the stainless has been great with just a quick wipe down. My appliances are stainless so it fits in perfectly. Guess it's a personal preference if you like the shine, I don't.

As I remember, they looked brushed. They were installed pretty much immediately in one of my apartment buildings, so I didn't give it too much thought. But I do think I remember them as being brushed looking and being happy with them. Definitely not "chromey"

Yes, you get three 6" and one 8". I like the black. They are easier to keep clean and look nice.

I wouldn't say it's brushed, but more of a flat. It's just not shiny stainless. It matches my stainless steel sink.
