Does the stainless steel caddy rust?

Yes. My caddy in my shower but not direct in the line of water only steam, and started rusting within a month or so. It's rusting everywhere.

Yes... the stainless steel product rusts but only at the welds (brazed points). The structural rod (which is stainless steel) remains uncorroded. I recommend painting the item with a de-rusto paint before use; even then mine showed signs of some rusting at the braze points after 16 months.

No rusting so far. The bin is polished stainless steel. Holding up good so far.

No. I replaced as much of the hardware with stainless as I could during assembly but it is still rusting at the base and staining my pool deck. Kids love it. Great in all other respects except for the rusting.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

Had mine for many months now and it's not rusted. I hand wash it though, never been through the dishwasher.

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

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

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.

Yes, mine began to rust almost immediately at the point where the chrome enters the caddy. I had four. Eventually they all broke at the hinge points where the caddy connects with the side grippers.

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

No. Have had mine for a few months and have not seen any rust. Normal hand wash and air dry in a rack.

According to Amazon's product description, it has a "stainless steel FINISH". Amazon's descriptions occasionally have mistakes, so maybe it is 100% stainless steel. I won't buy it until I find out for sure, as it's current price is very high. I too would like to find a good shower caddy that is 100% stainless steel, as a stainless steel "finish" or "coating" does not fully prevent rust.

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.)

No! I even leave a little water in it from time to time and no rust so far. I've had it for months & couldn't be happier.

No, but since it is stainless steel, it does not leave rust marks in my sink and I do not use the tray to sit it on since I want it to drain directly in the sink and not have to keep that tray clean! I am extremely pleased with it.

Yes, mine has signed of rust, but in full disclosure its because I don't take it apart to clean it and allow for it to dry.

Not sure, but after years of use , there is no rust . Also a magnet will not work on it.
