Gonwalt is selling a version that is POLISHED Stainless Steel and another that is 304 Stainless Steel. What is the diff?

The polished stainless steel tends to have more of a shine and last much longer
1799604
304 stainless steel (SS) is a type of SS. 316 SS is more expensive and more corrosion resistant, and 304 is more common, not as expensive, and not as corrosion resistant than 316 SS. Polished SS is a type of finish (e.g. polished vs. matte).

The polish stainless steel is the better quality of the 2 and is more likely to resist rust much better than the 304 stainless steel.

Bottom of the item reads: T 304 Stainless- 5 Ply for even heat- Lifetime Warranty. It is a bit harder to clean than my other stainless steel pans.

Yea, it's a brushed stainless...personally I like the look of polished against brushed, but you may just want to go with a brushed look.

304 and 18/8 are the same alloy. If you are seeing little rust spots you may have 302 stainless steel as it has lower Cr & Ni in it. The rust spots are normal and can easily be removed with cleanser.

I have the brushed finish and it is like a satin finish. I presume the other is more polished.

According to their own website, this is "chrome" finish. The other more expensive version is "stainless steel" finish and is for "professional use".

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

My original faucet was the stainless version, it started leaking and I shopped for the replacement. The black version was on sale and much cheaper than the stainless version so I bought it. It works as good as new and it also matches the black flecks in our granite countertop.

There are different types of 304 Stainless and they are usually 18/8 type but can be found in higher grades but most "commercial grade"cookware is this or better. For induction cooking purposes simply determine if a magnet will be attracted to it . . The better the stainless the less effective it is as induction cookware but as far as it being "stainless" or not....I find that the term really means .. Stain less..... Not stain free....no matter how high the grade! For the most part, only a welder would care about the grade to determine the kind of filler rod to be making his weld with.

It says that on it, whether it is true stainless steel 304 is hard for me to tell. But it works wonderful and does great temperature control.

I am not sure. But let me tell you this: Weber , never again. I had to throw mine away after 3 years. The worst experience ever with Weber. 20 years ago yes that was quality. Now stainless steal???? Corrosion all over after 2 years. Weber did not respond at all to my complaints. Never again. Good luck

I asked this question to sales associate at a Fergusion Showroom. They said 1 is the older finish that is being phased out and the other is the newer finish - sorry I can't remember - I think the artic was less shiny - but they were very similar. The artic stainless on the Cassidy some may think is a little more like brushed nickel - we a very happy.

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.

Tia, this one is for the Original which is made of a solid high-quality stainless steel tubing, with only a small acrylic viewing window the others seen on Amazon are copies of our mills, they are made with plastic tubing and a metal sleeve to cover the inner cylinder, there is a big difference in quality, that is why the price for our Originals is more. By investing in Grind Gourmet Originals you are getting a high quality mill while supporting a US based business, most of the seller of the copy are direct from China. Knowing what you are investing in help, thanks for your question Tia!

Hello Michael! We are happy to clarify the difference between our mills and other listing you may come across on Amazon. We offer the Original Pump & Grind mills on our Grind Gourmet Original listings, these mills differ from others you may come across, they are made of a solid stainless steel tubing verses plastic tubing the copies are made with. The copies look like the originals because the manufacturer has added a metal sleeve to cover the interior plastic cylinder. We offer our Originals in a variety of colors, sizes and style, in singles, sets and a travel variety. We have backed our product line for many years with many happy returning customers. We understand knowing the difference in quality helps to explain a pricing difference, buying from Grind Gourmet Original listings offers the very best in quality! We hope this helps.

The price is due to quality differences, no they are not the same mill. Only Grind Gourmet's mills are the Original Pump & Grind Mills made of solid stainless steel tubing with a small food-grade acrylic viewing window, this listing is for a copy of the original they are made of a plastic cylinder with metal accents. The price matches the material difference, again Grind Gourmet Originals are made of stainless steel while the copies are made mostly of plastic. We offer the copy on this listing to allow consumer to decide what they want to invest in. I hope this helps!

I just ordered this one and I received the newer model. It has a wider handle, fill line markers, narrower spout, polished outside, not shiny on the inside. Works great!!! I love this item.
