Reviews here are the same as for plastic (non-chrome) version. Can anyone add some specific benefit experienced w /the more expensive chrome model?

is very good blender to make homemade milkshakes, the material is aluminum, but is not as powerful as a business. very good size and the vessel is steel. I recommend

Thank you for the inquiry. We stopped selling the "satin" finish version due to poor response. The chrome version looks great down below once you install it. The chrome compliments the bright (brilliant) chrome accents of the upper grille frame and headlight ballasts. Accesspeed also offers a Lifetime Warranty on it, as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

Since chrome doesn't tarnish... no. Like any chrome surface though, over time the chrome plating will come off eventually. I've had mine for about six months now (I think?) and I'm not easy/gentle on my stuff...it still looks great, though the "PARKER" insignia wore off very, very quickly (cheaply printed on the handle). Doesn't matter though, it is still a great, quality handle with high quality hairs. I've used other silver tip brushes that started "shedding" a month after use... every once and awhile (daily shaver) I'll see a hair come out of this one but it's very rare.

Strange- no its definitely chrome. We accidentally ordered two and the seller wants to charge us a restocking fee- let me know if you'd be interested in buying from us- we'd give you a discount from the regular price....But as far as the hand held goes- we like it a lot. It has nice pressure and has a good weight in your hand. We can send you photos of our installed one as well as the extra one we have if you like....Garrpat@aol.comThanks!

When we bought ours they were out of the chrome so upgraded us to the stainless. I would recommend the stainless very much. We love it so much we helped buy another as a shared gift.

I have this toilet, the handle is 100 % plastic chrome. They don't make metal handle for sub $500 range toilet any more. A friend recently ordered a $1500 designer toilet from Kolher, that has model handle.

The one I bought is not chrome. That is more money. I got the plastic one. Broke the first time I changed the filter.Have to be careful. Get the grip gloves and it will be easier to open the housing.

I ordered the nickel finish. You'll have to search to see if chrome is available, I think it is.

My general belief is you get what you pay for. I am guessing the difference may be the quality - strength of the magnet closure and quality of plastic. The oe I put on is working great and doing everything I thought it would.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I prefer the chrome finish over the other finishes. So far the chrome finish has held up nice and is easy to clean. I will say, you have to wipe/clean after every shave due to the chrome finish. Because every smug or residue from the soap can be seen on the finish. A plus is the chrome finish just stands out more on your bathroom sink!!

It primarily is to make matte materials look fairly factory fresh again. Not sure about chrome add-ons, but it wouldn't hurt those type of surfaces, as it get's exposed on factory chrome interior pieces with no harm. It's a great product.

Yes, the chrome finish is almost identical, but the durability of the grill isn't as strong as a factory grill. This grill feels like cheap model plastic, but it has held up really good thus far.

I bought the aluminum one and my friend bought the stainless-steel one. There is no functional difference. However, after a period of using, the stainless-steel is still shining just like new, but the aluminum surface has already become dull.

Not sure but would think plastic would more likely do that. I love my metal one!
