Are you sure the bowl is stainless? The replacement bowl looks like aluminum from the picture. True stainless is really important to me.

Freeze bowl aluminum, that sits inside stainless tub that the bowl slides in to. It is very tight so both have to be very clean when in use.

My new bowl was slightly not matching the previous bowl's lid. That may be expected. The original lid now slides off/not as snugg as with the original bowl. However, the size of the general bowl itself is the same.

Hi, I use just a plastic bowl, works perfectly fine with it.you can use a metal one as well.

I have to say the bowl I got was 1st quality. It is a great bowl and I'm very happy with it.

Not the one I bought-- definitely NOT stainless steel. It appeared to be zinc. It's possible, however, that the seller has remedied the problem since the time I bought mine. Seller issued me a refund when I pointed out the product did not match the description.

The stainless steel bowl would certainly be dishwasher safe. I am not sure about the plastic components. I hand wash this kind of stuff so don't pay much attention to what is dishwasher safe other than plates and glasses.

Not sure exactly what quality, but my guess would be first..the bowl is stunning.

My pot IS rusted. I'm very disappointed because I wanted to get away from aluminum and the steel ended up rusting on the inside. It makes me believe it is not stainless steel.

I've had mine a little over a year. It arrived without a single scratch and is a pure copper bowl. The finish on it is still perfect. It doesn't sound like the bowl you got is at all like mine. Can you return or exchange it?

I'm pretty sure it's stainless, but the manufacturers website would probably give you the best answer. It doesn't feel like aluminum.

It's ceramic so shouldn't rust. Haven't had mine for long. I do notice there is some calcification around the outside of the bowl. I use tap water so that's probably why. I just make sure to totally empty it and clean out the hair and food that might get into the filter area. It's very heavy.

They did make improvements on the bowl. It is noticeably stronger than it used to be. That was a concern of mine as well. The removable plate doesn't seem to heat up in same amount of time the older model did. But the difference is minor. Being able to clean it properly is worth it. Haven't seen a bit of yellowing. I'm happy with mine. Hope this was helpful:)

The bowl is made in China. Save your money. The product does not meet it's marketing claims. My big struggle now is where I would safely dispose of it without causing damage to our environment!!!!!!

The bowl is stainless & removable. Could be put in a dishwasher if you wanted. It reaches the sides of the bowl as well as my Kitchen Aid.

I'm not positive, but I think that you're right. I just dragged it out of the cupboard to look, lol. It appears to be aluminum with a stainless steel handle. It did not cause any discolouration to the pot that it sat in.

I have a Sunbean mixer from the late 80's. I broke the glass bowl not so long ago when it slipped out of my hands and off my counter. I replaced it with the stainless steel bowl and it fits perfectly and works well. I was so happy to find a replacement.
