Rust? Not at first but how but months later? For those of you who owned this for a while, has this dispenser remained rust free after months of use?

I keep Kombucha and vinegar in it. I've had it for about 4 years. I have NEVER seen rust. I'm very confused as to why anyone else would see rust, but I don't, especially when Vinegar is so acidic and corrosive.

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

Have had mine for a year now and no rust. I am thoroughly satisfied with this great product. Was completely as advertised!

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

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

I have had mine for about 7 months so far and do keep water inside of it when not in use. There has been no issues with rust thus far, and I just checked the interior of the kettle.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

Purchased December 2011. We use it several times each week. We rinse or wash it and toss it in the drying rack to air dry. We haven't had any of the rust issues you are concerned about. If I can find a way to upload a picture of ours, I'll do that so you can see.

I've had mine for about 2 years, I've used it regularly, kept it in the fridge, then not used it and stored it when I moved and no rust. I cannot say there isn't some hidden metal I can't see but I've seen nor tasted any rust. Enjoy!

No. I have had it for several months and there is not the slightest hint of rust. This is the stainless steel version. There is a less expensive version that reportedly rusts.

I have had mine a while and it hasn't rusted yet. I have very hard water too, idk how that contributes to rust if any.

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

Well, you got my curiosity up! On the end of mine there's a 2" black plastic tube that's inside the "stainless steel" tube. The end of that does show a little rust but the water isn't dripping directly out of that but rather out of the plastic piece. When I zoom in on the picture mine looks slightly different. I think I would be inclined to return it for a replacement. Or perhaps they've changed it since I ordered mine in July. Hope this helps.

I have not had mine that long so no rust - BUT, my sister has had one for a long time and NO rust. Maybe it is your water?? We love this product.

I've been using for a few months and love it. It hasn't rusted. I always use purified water.

Mine has not rusted in any way and I have used it almost daily for several months. I can't guarantee that it won't rust but mine has not.

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