How old is your pail? Does it have any rust? Does a magnet stick to it? (Higher quality stainless steel is non magnetic, lower quality is magnetic)

My pail has only been in use for a few weeks. I bought it to donate to the humane society. My only problem was the size of it. It was a vary small pail for the price I paid. But it is of vary high quality. I only hope they have found use for such a small pail.

My pail is 5 months old and is still in great condition. No rust, scratches or dents. A magnet will not stick to my pail.

I bought this in August of 2013. There is no rust on it. We leave it out doors on our screened in back porch with water in it for the dog. We live in northern Florida on the Atlantic coast along marshy wetlands. It gets very humid here. A magnet does not stick to it. So I would dare to say that this is high quality stainless steel.

It is just over a year old. I use it for milking my cow. There is no rust on it. As far as magnetic, most of my refrigerator magnets will not stick. I have a very strong magnet which slightly clings but falls off when you let go. I am very happy with it.

Hello, Randy here. Interesting question about the magnetism. I have a pretty powerful magnet and it would not stick to ant part of the pail. as for the rust jury is still out.I haul mine from the barb to the chicken coup so its inside most all the time. No rust yet. Hope this helps. Over all its a nice pail. Take care. RANDY

I had this bucket for a year and it has remained outside. No rust is on the bucket. Magnets should work

I have five pails, had them for many years, never a hint of rust and they are not magnetic

I've used it for months in my dish drainer. Clean, wet utensils go in it to dry. It's fine and hasn't rusted. Sorry for the delayed response. I hadn't been checking all my emails.

Yes it is is made of stainless steel and brass, and does not stick to a magnet. I personally tested it. I guess it means that the product is corrosion-free, and that it lasts for a long time!

probably it rusts because there is no such a thing as stainless steel... and in my experience, new wave enviro will not replace it

Yes. My first one rusted inside at the bottom and also leaking after 3 months or so.I thouhgt I was just unlucky, so I purchaed another one.My second one also rusted inside at the bottom only after 2 monoths.I had enough, so I purchaed Aroma brand (shiny stainless steel) - about $30. I had it now only 3 months. So far, no problem....

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

mine is rusting on the inside near the pour spout so I'd say it may not be stainless steel...

I do not know; I gave this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas! I have a different brand from this one and I tried it; it is not magnetic. My husband informed me the higher grade stainless steel the less magnetic it will be. Sorry I could not be more help.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

FYI: My 9 quart pail is 10-3/16" O.D. at the top and 7-5/8" O.D. at the bottom. It is 8-3/4" tall. My bucket is still rust free after two years. I use it, rinse it, let it air dry, and store it under roof.

Can't find the date that I bought mine, I think it's about 1 1/2 years old, no more than that. I have had to replace it because it's rusty. So, YES, stainless steel does rust. Frustrating, because other reviews said it doesn't rust and I believed them.

No. This product seems to be made of a good grade of stainless steel. I can tell it has a high nickle content because it is non magnetic. You may see some tiny rust flecks or spots over time as all stainless rusts a little, but they are very easy to remove. If you've ever had a stainless steel sink, its about the same. Ours gets soaked every day and we are pleased with its corrosion resistance.

My assumption is yes. I tested it by putting a magnet to it and it would not stick. What grade or quality of stainless steel, I don't know but past models that I have owned would have shown signs of rust starting. No signs at all on this unit. Happy with it.

A magnet did not stick to my pot or insert, but did stick to the lid, and that surprised me. If it's good stainless, it should not be magnetic.

I've had mine in our kitchen sink for at least two months and it's perfect - no rust. Could it be water difference? I'm in Western Washington.

Ours is very ferromagnetic. (That means yes.) You could call the company to verify the specific size you want is only stainless and no aluminum. Or if you've got it already, check whether one of your refrigerator magnets sticks to the bottom.

The post states that it is Stainless Steel. Stainless is NOT magnetic, I just checked it myself with a magnet on my cookware marked stainless steel. good luck
