Is the stainless steel really good quality or cheap import stainless? Most bowls I've seen start to rust very quickly stainless or not.

It's not bad quality steel, but the unit feels a little cheap. My bowl was dented upon arrival.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

Yes, the bowl is made of stainless. This is a quality built unit. Not that you asked, but you should know that the bowl is not removable. Thus, cleaning can be a blessing and a headache. The blessing is that the liquid does not leak everywhere. The headache is that you must clean the bowl while in place.

I've only had mine for a while, and I washed it and NO rust.. Cheap grades of stainless will rust.. There are different grades of stainless steel..

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

I've used this opener for a while now, and no rust. The blade is stainless steel, and the handles are stainless steel as well. The rest is plated steel. Don't immerse it in the sink or the handles will end up with water inside them. DO NOT put it in the dishwasher! This will also fill the handles with water, and will shorten the life of the rubber handles inserts, and the opener twist knob rubber. Best way to clean it is to scrub the blade under running water, then just stand it upright in the dinnerware basket on the dish drained. This is how we treated our last OZONE opener, and it lasted FOREVER! This is a very good opener, and I highly recommend it. Take care of it, and it will last for years.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

Stainless shouldn't rust, I've had mine about a month, and I am really happy I bought them.

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 :)

Not a heavy user but bowl is fine. Also had a first gen., used a lot, had more problems with the base getting cracks. Original bowl still in use (my son has it). It is yellowed but has never cracked.

I have used my saucepans almost every day and have had no problem with them rusting. In fact, they look the same as when I took them out of the package 2 or 3 months ago. Hope this helps...

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

I haven't had any issues with rust and I've had my set for over 8 yrs. I do try to wash the knives right away and not let them sit in the sink for an extended period though.

I've had for about 6 months and wash in the diswasher on Hi-temp Wash with a Sani-Rinse and a heated dry...no issues so far. These are probably the best bowls I've owned. Mine did not come with the lids pictured though...and I can't remember if the photo showed them for the product I purchased or not.

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.

I bought the Melitta Kettle for my son last Christmas, he loves it, heats up fast, no rust what so ever and matches all their stainless steel appliances. I always empty mine and turn in upside down to drain so hard water deposits will not settle on the inside, it will last longer. BTW, I have another brand of kettle I also bought on Amazon, it was much lighter on my hands...but if I could I would absolutely purchase the Melitta model.Hope this helps.

Strangely, the documentation that came with it says, "Stainless Steel Finish". What's the difference between that and plain "Stainless Steel"? It's made in China, so who knows? Whatever it is, I've had it for a month with absolutely no signs of rust.
