Does the product rust after time ?

No--they are holding up great. Very heavy pieces, don't bend--loving them. Should last a lifetime if you don't lose them.

I've had a couple sets of these for about 6 months and a year, purchased separately (needed more) and cannot tell them apart. They were hand washed for the first few months but have stood up fine to regular dishwasher use, too (we had one installed about 6 months ago). No rust so far, including the poor fork I dinged up in the garbage disposal (you can't hardly see the scratch).

So far, no! I usually always dry the flatware with a dish towel (to eliminate any chance water spots!), so maybe that's why no rust. However, when I think back about other stainless flatware I've owned, I don't think I ever encountered rust. I thought for the price, it was a good deal - and I haven't changed my mind.

No it does not rust or bend in ice cream it's the best i've ever owned in my thirty-five yrs of marriage.

I have enjoyed a bistro set like these with Hampton label for about 20 yrs. The Nikita version looks and feels the same--both made in China. As with the other, label indicates 18/8 stainless steel. I have been using the Nikitas everyday since purchased and have an unused spare set. Can't tell the used from those not used--no sign of rust. No special care given. Worth giving a try!

Not that I have experienced, although I do wash them by hand. They are very heavy and nice.

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.

It hasn't yet. I wash it and let it dry and keep in the original box when not using. So far no rust!

I actually don't know but now that I've used it for a while I've noticed that it rusts immediately. I've only used it about 3 times and the rust actually changes the color of the foods I make. I don't know if that helps your decision.

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

I know it won't at least rust for a long period of time if cleaned properly after each use. But if it's sitting in water constantly, then yes it will rust. Afterall, it is stainless steel. (:

We've been using it for 8 months about once a week and it looks same as when we bought it. I think it won't rust

I've had mine for about two years. I've had no rust problems. In reading reviews it was suggested to NOT use a lemon-based detergent due to thoughts it might cause rusting, so I don't.

I spray it with cooking spray before each use and wash it with dishsoap and water afterwards, let it air dry in the rack and it looks as new as when I bought it. No rust problems.

I have been using it every day since I purchased it, and there are no signs of rust. I rinse and dry it thoroughly every day.

Product is not supposed to rust given that it is stainless steel. I haven't seen any discoloration whatsoever.

I bought this somewhere around a year ago with no rushing issues. Whenever I'm not using it, I remove all water and dry just to be safe. I would assume if water is left In it, it would most likely rust, but thus far, all is well and rust free.

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.)

I have not had any problems with rust and I own 2 sets purchased at separate times.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

I've had mine for nearly 2 years now and no rust. I didn't rustoleum it either.

I've had mine for about 4 months now and use it regularly, and haven't seen any rust yet!
