I had the same question myself. I called Delta customer service and they tried to explain it to me but it's hard to convey over the phone. I think it boiled down to it's slightly frostier. In my opinion, there's not much of a difference. Stainless comes in multiple finishes from brushed to polished. I have a stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, range, exhaust hood, and faucet. The finishes are all slightly different but they all look close enough to each other to "match". The faucet works awesomely and I have been very pleased. It's the only one Delta sells with the euro-style valve control which I prefer to the ball type. The magna-dock feature keeps the sprayer head firmly in place and is something every competitor would copy except for Delta's patent. I hope this helps.

I asked this question to sales associate at a Fergusion Showroom. They said 1 is the older finish that is being phased out and the other is the newer finish - sorry I can't remember - I think the artic was less shiny - but they were very similar. The artic stainless on the Cassidy some may think is a little more like brushed nickel - we a very happy.

My Kitchen has brushed nickel accents, and I installed this faucet with the Arctic Stainless, and it looks great. The faucet actually blends right in with the stainless steel appliances. Highly recommend!

I think the best way to describe it is Arctic stainless is lighter and brighter than stainless (which is a darker gray). We have Samsung and LG Stainless steel appliances and we think the Arctic stainless matches much better.

I have both @like both. The difference is one is stainless, the other is nickel. Love them both, can't beat this capo, either one of them.

stainless will hold up better to moisture, won't rust out. Carbon Steel is typically stronger and holds an edge longer, but needs to be treated with some sort of oil to protect the finish from the elements.

Hello Craig, Hope all is well. Yes the only difference is that one is black mate and the other is stainless stell finish. Personally if I owned a stainless rifle I would want a stainless mount. That is of course my personal opion. The best bet is go with your instincts. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!! BEST REGARDS, YOUR FRIENDS AT SBDGLOBAL Bridget Customer Service

No. Comparing the Stainless Steel and the D-5 Stainless on Amazon will answer your questions about the difference.

All stainless. Everything is stainless. This is an awesome kettle and well worth the money. Not a cheap flimsy kettle.

The stainless steel encompasses the aluminum. It is usually only for heat transfer purposes. .. I purchased this.. still going great

It's not stainless steel. It's either aluminum or aluminum alloy. I can't tell the difference. Hope this help.

Steel optik looks better. It's a liitle darker than stainless steel. Polished nickel is similar to chrome.

Good question. Nobody seems to know. I ordered a BCC and received a BC and the seller claimed there was no difference and actually was unaware of a BCC version. I noticed that the BCC descriptions claimed stainless steel, but BC did not. I was afraid BC stood for "brushed chrome". However, when i received the BC version, it is stainless, and says so on the box. I did look into it and found some references to the BCC version being one that complied with Canadian safety standards. Maybe why there's an extra C? Regardless, we've had the BC for a few weeks now and love it. We had an older version Cuisinart grind and brew. this one is a great improvement.

304 stainless steel (SS) is a type of SS. 316 SS is more expensive and more corrosion resistant, and 304 is more common, not as expensive, and not as corrosion resistant than 316 SS. Polished SS is a type of finish (e.g. polished vs. matte).

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

One is chrome and the other is stainless steel; being several of my appliances are stainless steel it matches my kitchen better than chrome.

18/10 stainless means that there is 10% nickle in the "mix." Stainless has chromium in it, but without the nickle is more apt to discolor. High end cookware uses 18/10 stainless.

I don't believe so, but I returned them because we had kitchen remodeling to do and I was concerned about caring for them. My recollection is that the stainless were lighter, but both are lovely.

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.

stainless. But it doesn't do anything. You couldn't even mash a banana. You're better off with a food processor. This item was a complete waste of money.
