Where does it indicate that it doesn't hold on Stainless Steel?

I have a stainless steel refrigerator and it hands securely to it with no issues

Stainless Steel is code for Brushed Aluminum. Most "Stainless Steel" appliances have aluminum fronts. Some refrigerators will have steel on the side panels. Just take a simple magnet and see where it sticks on your appliances.

This product has two powerful magnets to hold it to a surface. Mine is on the side of the fridge and works great. Older stainless steel appliance were not magnet friendly but my new stainless steel appliance do hold magnets. You will just have to check you'd surfac.

It's not stainless steel. It's either aluminum or aluminum alloy. I can't tell the difference. Hope this help.

They said it was stainless in the description. Other than that I don't know.

What a great question! I was very upset for not researching that before I bought, but I have researched and found it to be Stainless Steel!

If a magnet attracts to the metal, it is going to RUST ! If a magnet does not attract, it will not.

My assumption is yes. I tested it by putting a magnet to it and it would not stick. What grade or quality of stainless steel, I don't know but past models that I have owned would have shown signs of rust starting. No signs at all on this unit. Happy with it.

I am a mechanical engineer. I can't give a precise answer, but in general the lower the quality of stainless steel (SS) the more it will attract a magnet. The sides of this dish rack do not seem to attract a magnet at all, => good SS. However, the wire parts have a very strong magnetic attraction, on the level of ordinary carbon steel. The wire part is shiny, suggesting that it is nothing more than plated steel. => Not SS at all. I find it to be very functional in design. But to call this product SS is false advertising.

The label does not include the grade of stainless steel. But it does seem to be a bit on the thin side.

I don't believe it is stainless. It is a metal, but appears to be an alloy of some sort.

I tend to disagree. I bought a so-called SS pot and a magnet had no interest in it. The gauge/thickness matters not. If it's based on iron (which SS is) then a magnet is attracted to it. Me thinks aluminum with chrome finish.

A magnet will not attach to the rack so that points to stainless. Please tell me if there are further reports of chrome rather than stainless!

Well, I checked and the magnet barely has any pull. I looked it up though and apparently this is still normal and doesn't mean it's not stainless steel. Here's a reliable source of info on it. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-dont-magnets-work-on/

Stainless steel is a magnetic metal so it should be attracted to a magnet. Unless they are very high quality stainless a small amount of rust may occur but it should be minimal. I keep mine indoors when not in use and have had no problem with rusting.

Well it's stainless steal but, the proper response would be to state that it has magnetic properties would depend. Stainless steel is not a pure magnetic metal, however, magnetic stainless steel does exist to provide enough attraction to interact with magnets, and in some cases to allow small metal items to adhere to the stainless steel surface. I would say for this product your chance would be low.

No it's not stainless steel, for stainless steel the pice would be at least doubled.

Stainless Steel is not magnetic - its a good test when things claim to be stainless :)

I would think it should be stainless,but as far as I know, it is not. Well, you gave me an idea though for my next purchase :)
