What's the difference between stainless steel &amp; stainless "look"?

Less hassle with cleaning; no smudges to worry about. The stainless "look" is the way to go.

I'm not 100% sure, but I bought the chrome version and I believe that's the 'shiny' version. From the looks of it, the stainless one is the brushed look. It might not be exactly like brushed nickel, but from the looks of it, it's brushed stainless steel. I hope someone who has purchased the stainless one can answer your question better!

stainless. But it doesn't do anything. You couldn't even mash a banana. You're better off with a food processor. This item was a complete waste of money.

Chrome is shiny, like a car bumper. Arctic stainless looks dull and matches stainless appliances. I don't know why they call it arctic.

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.

Captain ... I did not get the stainless steel finish ... but I did get the copper and it does show some rust around the screw points ... but since mine is out doors most of the year ... I have been very pleased with the look and performance.

For me, I prefer stainless sitting on glass instead of the glass on glass effect because it feels too fragile. As for the benefits of the stainless vs. glass, I feel like heat retention and cleanup are where it keeps me satisfied. Plus I much prefer the aesthetic of steel/glass in my kitchen. Hope this helps!

Not really sure other than an looks. Both appear to be the same. I looked at many and often astetics. Both look great and I love mine. The next level up sent info to cell phone but I just write it down.

We have a stainless kitchen. The mills have a touch more sheen that the major appliances, but with the other stainless utinsils, pots, and small appliances they look great. They are noticed and admired by most people who visit.

Stainless! I have 2 of these. The oldest purchased over 10 yrs. ago. Still looks wonderful.

Sorry, I don't know. I will say that the stainless steel version is far superior to the old plastic coated ones.

I got the stainless-look with the black bezel. It certainly doesn't look cheap to my eye. It goes with our kitchen decor; I like it a lot. I'm not as wild about the all black look. However, when placed in the corner, the front bezel is mostly what you see.

I believe all the specifications are the same. The difference is the color/finish of the metal. So, which ever you prefer!

SS should be a stainless steel finish (brushed look). The other is chrome, I believe.

The top and sides are stainless colored, but not actually stainless steel. They look more like the platinum (non-fingerprinting) metal that they put on some fridges. It looks really sharp.

Not sure. We have stainless in our kitchen, so we chose the arctic stainless. I would think chrome would be shiny. I will be glad to send a picture if you tell me where to send.
