Is the base a shiny, mirror-like finish, or it it more of a matte aluminum look?

The base is a shiny chrome like finish. Very nice. I've had my blender for about a year....it is perfect. I replaced a 40+ year old Oster blender with this one. Awesome blender and accessories.

The base is a super shiny finish just like the picture. The metal attachment is matte I'm quite a minimalist and try to keep everything off my counters until I received this. I LOVE this and it stays on my counter all the time. I've had so many compliments. One of the best small appliances I've ever purchased.

Hi! The base has a mirror-like finish (which is nade of plastic). The bas itself is weighty but the ouside layer is plastic.

The chrome is polished and the black base is matte. It's very well made and is worth the money.

It is more of a matte finish. The finish looks very nice and has held up to many hand washings (almost daily) so far.

It is light as aluminum, but the shiny exterior appears like it is steel. Cannot say with any certainty, but I have been sitting on the thing for 2 years & seems mighty sturdy. Buy it.

It has a very glossy finish. I sent it back so I don't have any information on its durability.

I would call it a matte finish. Has a slight shine to it . But not high gloss... Definitely not flat

It's more matte, but a little shine to it. It looks very good on kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Just the right finish you would expect. It looks very good. Not what I would consider shiny.

actually, i think it is a reflection. mine was in mint condition. i see what you mean in the pic, but there is a similar sized line above it that makes me think a reflection. it is a fairly reflective surface. you can see that by the reflection of the doors of the building in the pic too. i have been really happy with mine. i got it in june.

It is reflective and shiny. I don't have lights directly on it and I can see through to the desk, but I would get a matte version if you care about reflections.

It is highly polished- mirror like. The product also comes with two deco mirrors that I think are suppose to mount on each side of the mirror. I did not use them because I felt it detracted from the visual. Comes wit three glass shelves.

It's smooth, but more a flat look than a super shiny. It doesn't look glossy, if that's what you are wondering. More of a smooth matte finish

It has a shiny finish on the outside ~ I wouldn't say mirror. The inside has a dull appearance. It cleans up very easily. I'll add that I l-o-v-e this pot.

I would say it had a semi-glossy finish with a slight texture to it. So not super shiny, and the texture helps to not show every bit of splatter.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

It is not shiney, it is like a matte finish, very nice I thought. I am very impressed with them.

Its a glossy (polished finish). Hansgrohe has well built fixtures. Am also using their Talis fixtures in our office.
