Is the bottom bare metal? We had a holder that made a horrible screeching sound if it dragged across our granite countertops.

it has a nice rubberized bottom. no scratching, a very sturdy well made holder.

No the bottom is not bare metal. There is a protective overlay. This is a really nice towel holder.

No the bottom isn't bare metal. Beneath the base of the paper towel holder is a circular rubber insert. This does a double duty. First it prevents scratching of counter tops and second it adheres the paper towel holder in place. I like this model so well that I have one by my kitchen sink and a second one by my laundry room sink. Easy to load, to clean, doesn't scratch my granite counter tops, and doesn't tip over like the other holders I've tried when you pull a paper towel sheet off the roll. All around great product!

We have granite too and there is a soft base. It appears to be glued on but no issues with sliding it on counter tops. There are no sharp edges. The chrome around the base has a rounded edge. It's pretty heavy. I don't pick up by the top.

The outer frame is covered with felt, and it sounds like wood underneath (more likely particle board), but I can't see it. The speaker grate is metal.

The bottom is metal but the top, where you place your lap top is made of what appears to be laminated partical board. I would not recommend this for outside use, at all. It's not very sturdy either.

It is probably a strong plastic. Looks like gray metal. The most quiet fan and effective modern fan I have ever seen. If you are traditional you will not like it. I love it.

Ours hasn't. We do have a bit of mineral build up around the edge of the lid and interior but that is from our well water. The metal is VERY lightweight, so I don't know how long it will last. Also, it whistles so loudly that it hurts my ears! We had a Revere Ware tea kettle for years that was a lot heavier stainless steel. I wish I would have looked for a used one online instead of purchasing the Cuisinart.

It's a black rubber-esque plastic material. If you're wondering if it is the same stainless steel metal as the rest of it, the answer is no. If your real question is whether or not it will scratch your counters, the answer is no, it will not.

I don't know. It doesn't say on the bottom. So, I will assume that it is not stainless steel. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

It has aluminum case on top, but I am not sure about bottom. I would say it is probably plastic.

According to the manufacturer it is a Hard-Anodized metal, but not specified, and not possible to identify by looking at it.It is excellent for pancakes, french toast, and I even make paninis on it using a hand held small press to compress them. Sorry I could not be of more help..

Yes, there is a black metal plate that is bolted to the center of the back and goes about 3" up. I can live with that but what is bothersome to me is that when the sides of the stools swivel and hit our quartz countertop, we get noticeable dings. I just keep covering them up with stain.

Was a gift for my mom, but she likes it and says bottom is stainless steel, she's had no issues with dampness - and she lives in Florida. Hope that helps.

The bottom is pure metal while the sides, back and facing are of a hard durable plastic. Unless you plan on dropping it or throwing it around alot you then should have nothing to worry about. It's very durable.

It appears to be made of the same material as the rest of the cabinet. I think it looks really good and I cannot tell that it's not actually granite until I touch it!

It has a solid plastic bottom. I have had this for several months and it is working out fine.

It's some type of metal (when knocked on there's a soft tin sound), but not thick or heavy, maybe ceramic. Nice looking and perfect for any space -- whether tight or roomy. I love it. Trudy

I did a quick search about your question, and found the following comment: "My Kitchen Aid dishwasher has a stainless steel tub. It was getting coated with soap scum and lime scale. I accidently tripped upon Dishwasher Magic at my local Ace Hardware this weekend. Came right home and used it. Words cannot describe my delight and surprise. It is a miracle. My dishwasher sparkes and when I slide the racks there is no squeaking sound anymore. I will be purchasing this product to run through my dishwasher once a month. The preventative cleaning is going to be so worthwhile. Ace should sit this product right on the aisle and do marketing promotions on it. Absolutely wonderful product! Thank you so much for carrying" (this is from http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1418955). Also would like to add that my experience was A++. I will be using this product once per month to care for my dishwasher :)

Metal, with a magnetic strip on the bottom that keeps it firmly in place. Used with Granite Counter tops.. Works GREAT !
