The flat top needs a light coat of vegetable oil rubbed on it after each use.

The previous answers are correct. The only thing I would add is that if it is rusted now, you can clean it and oil it up before you cover it. Just turn it on to heat the grill up, and then clean it with a wash cloth and some water. Then put a light coating of oil on it, cover it up and boom! Back to new again! :)

No. I've only had it for a few months, but I seriously doubt that it would rust.

I have mine in the house, so there is no rust. I can't comment on one that's outside.

I've had mine outside all winter and it shows no rust. Maybe that one was flawed?

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

I haven't had them for a long enough time to notice any rust. I live in a very dry climate, so rust isn't that big of a problem here. I also have refrigerated air and not swap cooling so that could also be helping me.

No, I haven't noticed any rust. If mine did rust I wouldn't toss it out, it's still the best opener I've found in years.

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

No, I use my can opener about once a week and have had it for awhile and have no issues with rust.

I got your message and I asked my husband about the can opener. He said it has not gotten any rust so far and he said he always put it away to keep it dry so it would not get the rust. He bought a can opener from Walmart and he used to keep in the old can opener wet. He learned why it caused to have the rust so he always hang the new can opener up which I got him for his Christmas in the past. It has not gotten any rust so far.

I soak mine frequently and have even run it through the dishwasher a few times. It has never rusted, but it has discolored slightly.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

No I have not seen any rusting on this product at all. But I have only had it for about a month.

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.)
