There was a customer image of the stockpot with rust spots. Has anyone else had a problem with them rusting?

I have had no problem at all. One thing to remember with "Stainless" steel.... it can stain. Sort of an oxymoron I know but I work in the steel business. This grade of steel in these pots is a high quality and any staining will be minimal. It is easily removed with Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner. Also, I don't use the dishwasher all the time for my stainless pots. The highly alkaline detergent in dishwasher detergent is terrible on stainless steel and will cause the staining fast. It will also dull the beautiful mirror finish over time. These pots are so easy to clean. I just use a dish sponge and wipe em down. If I happen to burn something or I notice some spotting on the pots, I use Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner and it cleans right up. They look brand new still!

I have not had that problem. I love my set. It works great for me. I rarely put them in the dishwasher, however.

I have had my set for 3 months now and just love them. I only use Bartender's F riend to clean them with and never place them in cooler water when they have just come off the stove. No problems with rust. In fact I am amazed at how nice they are for the money. I looked around a lot before ordering this set and I am well pleased

The reason it is called "stainless"is because of the fact that the alloy is impervious to oxidation (rust)........must be a counterfeit! Mine is awesome and is as advertised.Love using the set.

I have not seen any rust on mine. They are good quality. Use Barkeeper's Friend and they will stay perfectly clean.

No problems on mine, and I do leave them soaking overnight on occasion. Thanks to Bartenders Friend the set still looks new.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

I've put pots on it without a problem, the one issue I have with it is that the vinyl coating is sensitive to sharp objects and once a small piece is missing it shows signs of rust.

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

I have had no problems or issues with this pot at all. I use it for making beer as well as cooking. There is no rust on the one I purchased.

I can't speak to the issue of rust. However, the pot itself is not particularly sturdy. I bought it to pop popcorn on the stove, which involves heating oil until the corn kernels burst. After just one use, though, the bottom was warped and blackened - I ended up getting rid of it.

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

Hi, I think I've used the stopper once or twice since I've had my sink, and when I did use it I never saw any rust at all. The only time I had to deal with a rust issue was when I was cleaning a pan with an SOS pad. I got a tiny bit of metal under one of the feet of the rack that sits in the sink. Stainless steel is very resilient and if you care for it properly it will look good and won't rust. I cleaned the tiny tiny spot of rust with a dab of Barkeepers Helper. I swear by that stuff. Also stay away from egg white on stainless. It doesn't hurt a cooktop because the heat fixes that, but I dropped a spot the size of a dime on my sink. I didn't realize it was the egg white until I tried to clean it after breakfast. When I got the rust stain, and managed to fix that with Barkeepers Helper, I thought I might as well try it on the egg white stain. To my surprise and great happiness it has taken away the spot!! Warning, be careful how much you rub and how hard. Be gentle or you'll leave a tell tail spot where you've been working. Just gently, with a wet micro cloth, put a little water and a little BH on the cloth and work on the spot. Then when you've done, rinse off the area you are focusing on and then rinse out the cloth and wipe down the whole area. You can do this to water spots also. I have very hard water in my area and I manage to get drips down the front of the sink and on my refrigerator, which is stainless. Stainless steel is beautiful, but it does take some care. I hope I haven't bored you will my information, but I like my new kitchen to look like it did when it was installed a year and a half ago, and it does.

I've had it for about 6 mos. I run them in the DW and have had no problems with rust spots or stains.

I have only had mine for 6 months, but I use it almost every day. I oiled the pan with butter, the first three times. I washed and dried it immediately after use. Haven't seen a speck of rust, yet.

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.

I've never had any problems with rust on the supply tube.However, I had a leak on my first one where the supply tube connects to the hose reel. I wrote the company and they sent me a replacement connector.Other than that, I've never had any problems with either one of these 2 Hose Reels.

I have had no issues with rust, I wash mine bin the dishwasher, have left it in the sink over night in water, accidentally, and it still looks great. I use it several times a month and have no complaints at all.

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?

I bought them as a gift. I have not heard back there was anything wrong with them. There was a note enclosed with them on how to care for them. They have not rusted. Plus, the company was very sincere in wanting to make sure I was happy. If you bought something and was not pleased, I believe they would make it right for you. Sorry to not have more specifics for you.

Sorry for responding so late, but I just noticed that the set is starting to show small rust spots inside the creamer & sugar bowl, as well as on the surface of the serving tray. I intend to change my review to say that I no longer would recommend this item.
