I have used it quite a bit. I keep it on my stove and do not dry it after I use it. I have no idea what kind of water they use, we use distilled. It looks like it does the day I received it, brand new. Be careful, handle gets hot.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

I have not had any rust develop on mine and have had it a few months. You should get decades of use out of chromed steel without rust if you take care of it properly.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

It is the kind that will not rust if you take care of it. That is why I bought it.

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

Using for about 8 months and no signs of rust. I had a similar unit for several years and it did show some signs of rust. I returned it to simplehuman and they gave me a brand new one, no questions asked.

I've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

I havent had to oil or do anything to it and ive had zero rust. Holds up well without it but I suppose you could oil it if you so choose.

I have only had mine for a limited period of time , but I would imagine it would be rust free being it is powder coated.

seems very durable to me. I even moved and was able to take it down and put it up again with ease. No rust at all (for at least the 2 years I've had it) and I live in Miami so if it would rust anywhere it'd be more likely here!

Mine is still in as good shape as the day I bought it. No rust. No chipped paint.

I've had mine for a year. It is used often and has been washed many times. No rust at all.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

I have only owned this for a couple of months, but I see no signs of rust. My laundry area is a relatively sunless and easily dampish kind of environment so I think if rust was going to occur, it would. I also see no signs of the finish cracking or wearing and I expect it to continue to hold up well with a lot of use.

I have been trouble by the rust as well.... I have had mine for about 6 months too, and use it constantly.... Any ideas would be helpful because I LOVE this thing!!!!
