What is the expected life span of these straws as compared to stainless steel?

Bamboo lasts forever if u don't break it. Just boil them every now and then and it's like starting fresh. Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial. I order these and sell them at my store. I love them!

Can't answer because I have never used stainless steel straws; however, I have had these for quite sometime and they are still like new. I expect they will last a very long time. As long as stainless steel? Not sure but I would say it will be many years before they are no longer useful.

I am unsure past say a month. There isn't much to go wrong, they can plug with silt etc, but can be cleaned. The plastic is sturdy, but plastic- need i say more. I prefer brass or stainless plumbing parts.

I am far from a stainless steel expert, and I know nothing about "grades" of stainless steel. I can tell you, however, these straws have a heavy, solid feel and look very luxurious. I am very happy with them.

I'm not exactly sure. They're stainless steel so I haven't needed to replace them.

Over time they will rust. If you make sure they are dry before putting them away, they should last longer. Stainless steel. Keep in mind the phrase, get what you pay for. "I" have no complaints, hope this helps

I can't imagine that there's any lifespan, so to speak. They are rock solid and do not give the appearance of losing their structure through use or age.

Similar to the straws from a fast food resturant,maybe a little stronger, you can reuse after a good wash, if they make it through. Some do,some don't.

I would like to answer your question, but it was so long ago that we ordered these straws, I just don't remember. We use them nearly every day and are only now getting low. I was just thinking this past week that it's time to restock. We really like these straws - the ones we bought at local stores were annoyingly short, and some seemed prone to getting holes in the bending section so that they wouldn't work well. These seem to be "tougher." Wish I could have helped you with the count.

No, the straws are not magnetic. These are 18/10 stainless steel, meaning they are 18% chromium and 10% nickel and therefore more resistant to corrosion.

Absolutely, in my opinion, they last longer in terms of use compared to the stainless...and maintain their sharpness for even a longer duration, and are less edgy than the stainless as they start to wear.

I really don't know. I am not happy I got the stainless set for a few hundred dollars and they are all rusting 18 months later. I have not used them more than several times and never let them sit in water. Next time I buy it will be a company who warranties no rust if there is such a thing.

Well, as far as I know magnets don't ever lose their magnetic properties, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the typical lifespan.... but I can say I have purchased these magnets and they are very strong - much stronger than a typical (decorative) refrigerator magnet you might buy in a novelty store or something. So I think they would last you a very, very long time!

Sorry, I don't know. I will say that the stainless steel version is far superior to the old plastic coated ones.

It depends on the content. I will say a yr. I use them for milk for a yr and no issues. The purees we just have use them sooner, 6 months.

I'm sure they're 316ss they go in the dishwasher and come out with no rust like you could get with 304ss- I work with stainless steel and would be considered an expert in the field.

Don't know whether any warranty is available, you'd need to contact the manufacturer. Mine are stainless steel, have been in service for ~ 2 years and are fine other than some staining from heat or burned drippings which is normal. If they've rusted out then they're not stainless steel.

The straws are stainless steel and are a silver color. I am very happy with them. Well worth the money spent.
