Has anyone had a problem with rust?

The unit is powder coated and has held up well, our second season, the top will rust though, it's just steel mesh, also I did drill a tiny hole in the center so water would not accumulate.... We keep it outside year round

Have had it for over a year and no rust - I have a cover for it and put sand in the bottom.

I live in the San Juans and purchased one of these from Hayneedle.com last December 2014. As of today - 9 months later - the bottom is okay but the side-walls are totally rusted-out... Kaput! We used it about once a week. The wire mesh covering the decorative cutouts has returned to iron ore! Since we paid nearly $200 for the unit it cost it about $20 a month or $5.00 per usage. Not a good investment.

Well, it looks rusty to begin with, so it would be tough to tell. Mines still doing fine. It sits outside all year on the Olympic Peninsula. I did drill a small hole in the bottom so that the rain could drain.

I empty the water out which is not hard, and we bring it in during the winter, so far so good.

Rust will happen whatever you do, this unit is carbon steel, which means it will rust! Initially the coating provided at the factory will either wear off or burn off. You will have to re-coat it with a high temperature paint or let it rust, that's the way it is with this material. This unit is very well made even though it's steel. Keep up the maintenance and it will last for years.v/rRobert

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

No problems here. I used the pot for making Salsa and was very happy with it. I have seen no evidence of rust. I bought the pot summer of 2011, I believe.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

No my didn't have any rust. I would return it if I were you. There should NOT be any rust in or on it at all! Good luck.

I have not had any rust issues. Mine either run thru the dishwasher or if hand washed, dry on a magnetic strip with my knives. I do not put my Ergo Knives thru the dishwasher though!

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

I have not had any rust develop on mine and have had it a few months. You should get decades of use out of chromed steel without rust if you take care of it properly.

I haven't had any problems with rust on my pizza wheel. How long have you had your pizza wheel?

I do and not have had a problem. It is all aluminum so it doesn't rust. I do dry it off though.

I have not had any rusting at all. I am not a heavy user maybe twice a month and always clean up and dry immediately after using.

I have had no issues, if you cut acidic fruits or leave it in salt water and never clean it it will rust

Using for about 8 months and no signs of rust. I had a similar unit for several years and it did show some signs of rust. I returned it to simplehuman and they gave me a brand new one, no questions asked.

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5 (I still use it though.)
