Unit came up when I searched "5 gallon water coolers stainless steel" but I can't tell the finish from the picture or info What color/material is it?

Mine is white. Mostly plastic. Works fine, but I have to say its a little loud sometimes.. Probably not all of them because this is the same unit as the one that we had been renting from a spring water company and that one was quieter

White, plastic. Clean, rough finish. Best cooler I've ever owned, and I've owned several over the years.

It's not stainless steal but works great. Really hot water. Also, zero water purifier makes a system that works with this dispenser which allows you to use tap water instead of buying new 5 gallon jugs, saves money.

White-ish and made of plastic and high quality. It's simple but works. I work in many medical practices, and all of them use this type of water cooler because of it's quality.

The unit is mostly metal. Everything in the pictures that is black is plastic, including the handles and hinges. Inside of lid does have a grey gasket material and white plastic panel. Inside unit is a reflective silver metal, outside of unit is a gloss grey painted metal, latches appear to be zinc plated, screws appear to be stainless, drains and drain plugs are plastic. Baskets are an epoxy coated wire. If unit is connected to both AC and DC at the same time unit will run on AC, once AC disconnected unit switched to DC after about 2 seconds. If you plan on using this unit connected to both AC and DC at the same time I would strongly advise you contact Whynter directly. The unit is mostly metal.

I don't know really. It was some sort of metal though. I thought it was nice but it wasn't the right color and the drain didn't fit my sink so I sent it back.

Well, you got my curiosity up! On the end of mine there's a 2" black plastic tube that's inside the "stainless steel" tube. The end of that does show a little rust but the water isn't dripping directly out of that but rather out of the plastic piece. When I zoom in on the picture mine looks slightly different. I think I would be inclined to return it for a replacement. Or perhaps they've changed it since I ordered mine in July. Hope this helps.

It is a shiny finish.... I plan on returning this item..... I liked it at first but then saw the same thing at home depot for $80

All tanks are stainless steel 304 grade and the housing is food grade silicon. The plastic or metallic taste happens because the unit was not properly flushed at arrival or because the lack of use that allows the water to sit down inside the tanks and housing for too long (happens with all coolers in the market). This could also require to flush the first or second glass when serving, but it goes away.

The unit is black, if there is another color we are not aware of it. Also we are in our late 60's and the unit is wonderful we no longer have to lift those heavy five gallon water bottles again. I have a small folding luggage cart I use to move the bottles from our garage to the kitchen to save me from having to lift them and put on top of the other type of top loading water cooler we used to have. I recommend this cooler to anyone who wants one there are worth the money. This is our second unit the first unit's pump went bad but the company was right there with a new one it was under the year warranty and they stood by their product.

Mine was red - with stainless steel sides. I bought it at Costco. But beware.........the wire racks rust almost immediately. And you can't get the rust out - it just reappears and stains china, porcelain, glass, etc. It's such a shame because it is well designed. Obviously, the manufacturers knew it would come in contact with water - why weren't the wire racks made of stainless steel too? I had to throw mine away.

The outside isn't stainless steel - it's plastic colored to look like stainless. I can't tell what is on the inside.

The back portion of the handle is staiinless steel, and the front portion is of exactly the same color but seems to be of a rougher surface to maintain a better grip, and so I image the front portion of the handle to be of some plastic material, but difficult to distinguish from stainless. As you see in the picture, the darker parts that contain the rubber nibs where the water comes through are of plastic material, including the main middle portion of the fixed unit. The hose is of stainless steel and the levers on the main unit and handle as well.

All the initial description I found said brushed stainless housing and no mention of the interior of the bowl, When I first looked at my unit when I received it I thought it was too dull to be stainless, So to day I tested with what I have, I tested the interior of the bowl with a magnet its non magnetic, not plastic, did not scratch with a small piece of aluminum, but did not sound.. like stainless, I did find a web site that did say " Brushed stainless steel housing, aluminum freezer bowl", my conclusion is it is a harder aluminum

Mine was black as well. If I needed to use a stainless steel one I believe it would match my existing faucet. Providing it's not brushed nickel.

It looks like steel to me. I seem to remember something on the tag about rust-proofing, too.

I am not at home this month so I cannot check to see if there is any black at all on my faucet....I only recall the metal finish...do not understand what u r referring to.

I don't know. Can you tell by the picture? You might try looking up your cooler online.
