Is it truly stainless steel or is it one that looks like stainless steel but its not at all? For those that have had this product for more than 5 years. Does the interior stainless steel rust? What is the average longevity of this product for most people?

What's impressive to me is that I have disassemble my last one and not just was it stainless, but the innards (nuts, bolts, washers), many were stainless. The internal construction was high quality with anything that touches water being surgical high end tubes and wiring. I got just a touch of rust on mine near the rim of the basin. That said, if you use this as much as we did (daily) you probably won't have it for five years. Ours made it two and a half which bothered me until I thought about how often I used it and how useful it was. I went out and bought another and expect the same lifespan. I'd buy another when that breaks down. I really think they are the best on the market since every other kettle and heater I used fell apart in six months. Probably the only thing I didn't expect is how often I had to clean the inside from how dirty our tap water really is, even with filtration. Hope this helps.

I,ve had mine in use for 17months and have not encountered any rust problems. I am very happy withthe sink as it is durable and easy to clean. I had a composite sink in my former house and could not keepit clean.

Had mine for a few years with no signs of any rusting. I run it through the dishwasher, so if it was going to rust, it would have by now.

I've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

Can't find the date that I bought mine, I think it's about 1 1/2 years old, no more than that. I have had to replace it because it's rusty. So, YES, stainless steel does rust. Frustrating, because other reviews said it doesn't rust and I believed them.

It doesn't have stainless steel written anywhere on it, but I've had mine over 1 year and there is no sign of pitting or rust. I love it!

I've had this since January of this year, so only 5 months have passed. In that amount of time, there has not been an issue with rust. We had this brand before but a different model. The glass broke (our clumsiness) but, again, no rust. We had that one for 2 years. This seems to be a very good quality product.

I've had mine quite a while and no rust..it's stainless steel. It's a handy thing to have! ..especially if you love asparagus as much as I do. ;

I have had mine for about 10 months and there is not any indication of any rust. I can't say for sure that it is all stainless steel but it still looks like brand new after 10 months.

We have 2. One actually broke after 4 months. I replaced it. The other has been up for 6 months. Really can't find anything else that looks ok and doesn't rust.

I use mine 5 or 6 times a day and it still looks brand new! I purchased mine after seeing one in action that had been used for over six months day in and day out, inside and out. This is a well made product.

I've had one that looks identical for at least 10 years. The rack itself is in great condition.....no rust at all. I love the way it looks! Very classy.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

I have used this sink strainer for 5 months now. It's been through the dishwasher approximately once a week and it has not rusted at all! Still shiny!
