Do you guys know if this product has a warranty? I bought mine 8 months back and I see the bottom is started to show some rust. Please help.

It has a five year warranty as the other guy said. I have used mine for two hunting seasons and it is in like new shape. I did destroy the strap when my wife put all parts in the dishwasher.I have to rinse mine out every time I use it because I forget to drain and dry after use. It does exactly as I wanted hot coffee several hours after entering the woods.

If the inside was cleaned with an SOS pad or metal brush (non stainless steel grade), the carbon scraped into the stainless will rust and spread locally. Dissimilar metals contacting each other will cause oxidation.I've been using my thermos daily for almost 1 1/2 yrs and take extra care when cleaning the inside from build up of coffee grime... been jamming the butt end of a wood spoon and a scotch-brite pad to scrape the inside clean, it's effort but works great. Other than a few minor dents, my thermos has had no issues.

It appears that they do...for five years. Check the Nissan-Thermos site for details. I have not had a single problem with mine after two years so I have no warranty claim experience with them. All I put in mine in is hot water. Additives (coffee, sports drinks) are mixed in the drinking cup after pouring. I'm assuming the rust is on the inside? If outside, who cares? If it is a true oxide of iron, there should be little hazard...like cooking on cast iron. Your call.

I haven't had them for a long enough time to notice any rust. I live in a very dry climate, so rust isn't that big of a problem here. I also have refrigerated air and not swap cooling so that could also be helping me.

Hi Candy, I am not sure if the warranty covers rust, but I haven't had any rusting over the past three years. Its worth the money.

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?

are you absolutely sure it is completely dry? any moisture left on it will cause rust. usually I dry mine and then let it sit out (in the air) for awhile to make sure all moisture is gone

Franke products are typically high quality and therefore should not rust. If you already own this sink and it is rusting I would contact Franke as the sink has a limited lifetime warranty.

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.

No my didn't have any rust. I would return it if I were you. There should NOT be any rust in or on it at all! Good luck.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

After two months, ours also began rusting at the interior seam. It is largely in part due to the manufacturing process used. "Not worth the purchase for long term use."

I've had mine for a little over a year now, and no signs of rusting. I also purchased the in-sink dish drainer, and it is holding up beautifully as well. This is a quality product, made of a heavy duty stainless steel.

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.)

We've had ours 6 plus months. No sign of rust. It's stainless steel. Not sure how it would rust.

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