Mine arrived last week. I used it once and rinsed/dried it off and there is rust. Anyone else have this problem??

Porous chrome plating would cause this. If you have a magnifying glass or jewelers loupe, inspect the rusted areas for porous pin holes in the chrome plating.

That's odd. I haven't had that happen. Just a thought but do you have city water or hard (well) water? I have city water. Not sure it should matter as far as rust if you dried it. Towel dry or air dry? I have done both and have 6 kids so its been used a lot. Bad luck for you:( or faulty product?

No, I haven't noticed any rust. If mine did rust I wouldn't toss it out, it's still the best opener I've found in years.

The surface of the heated plate on our unit appears to have started discoloring. I'm not sure it's rust;could be lime build-up. We've only had the unit about six months, so this is a little unexpected. The unit works great in all other respects.

Send it back. I had mine for just a few months and it rusted. I had it in my house and nowhere near water. It's junk.

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.

Yes ours rusted some too after washing. I thought maybe my kids had left water sitting in it.

It isn't rusting and mine is outside day and night. I wipe it off maybe once a week from leaves and all. Still looks new.

I bought mine on Amazon early last year and mine is rusted in all the joints and feet. I posted pictures on my review.

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 got mine from Costco, and it has rust. Very dissatisfied!! I find it hard to believe that Kitchenaid would make different qualities, depending on where the units are sold; that would be too costly to separate out. If they did, shame on them!!

I run mine through the dishwasher and have no problems. Haven't seen any rust spot yet either. I haven't tried hand washing but I bet it would be that difficult.

I've only had mine for a while, and I washed it and NO rust.. Cheap grades of stainless will rust.. There are different grades of stainless steel..

I've had mine for a year. It is used often and has been washed many times. No rust at all.

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

I haven't experience it so far but I can only see that happening if they are letting the water sit. It is rare went stainless steel rust. Its a beautiful sink and worth the money.

I have had mine since July of 2011 and as of this day today there is no rust on it!!! It stills looks like new!!! We take very hot showers and there is 2 of us that take showers everyday and all I do is wipe it clean after I spray it with foaming bubbles. If I ever need another one I will purchase this one. Awesome product and worth every penny!!

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.
