what is the different between arctic stainless and chrome?

Not sure. We have stainless in our kitchen, so we chose the arctic stainless. I would think chrome would be shiny. I will be glad to send a picture if you tell me where to send.

I am not sure - I don't have other chrome in my kitchen so maybe I can't see a comparison so I don't notice the Bluish color that other reviews discussed. I know it looks like a brushed chrome but can't see a blue. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Chrome is shiny, like a car bumper. Arctic stainless looks dull and matches stainless appliances. I don't know why they call it arctic.

Arctic stainless looks like stainless steel (BUT it isn't stainless steel); it has a warmer tone and is less shiny compared to chrome. Chrome looks like chrome (like most fixtures you will see in public bathrooms and kitchens); it's shiny and looks bluer than arctic stainless.

Chrome is much shinier. One good thing about the ' artic' finish is that water spots don't show up so easily

I have had both. After having an aluminum one for years, I splurged and bought the stainless steel and was so disappointed in the performance that I bought a new aluminum one. I have had it for 10 years and am very pleased with it.

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

Sorry, I don't know. I will say that the stainless steel version is far superior to the old plastic coated ones.

according to the shubb website the standard is nickel plated, or chromed. the deluxe is polished stainless, no chrome plating. Hope this helps.

By definition, this is made of steel which is made of iron with carbon added. Stainless steel has a varying amount of nickel and chrome added for shine and durability. This says 18/0 SS which is 18% chrome and no nickel. Chrome is added for resistance to corrosion and hardness. Chromium is magnetic. Nickel is know to be slow to corrode as well and brings shine to a SS alloy. Nickel is also magnetic. All stainless steel is bound to be magnetic. If you have a cookie sheet that isn't magnetic, it's probably got a lot of aluminum in it. This sheet should be magnetic. Some folks hang new or retired cookie sheets for a bulletin board using magnets to hold up the paper, pictures and notes. By definition, this is made of steel which is made of iron with carbon added.

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.

Although I purchased the chrome, I believe thaere is no need to match 100%. I have stainless over that is not shiny like our new faucet and there is no problem at all. The faucet itself has a real presence and beauty. It is also very functional and our plumber says durable too.

Looks like the difference is the finish. This one says it's "satin nickel" which is a soft duller finish, and the one I have is shiny polished chrome. Hope this helps.

Yes one has chrome and the other is stainless. The chrome can hold an edge longer than the stainless but the stainless will not rust both are very good Blades

Only difference is the coating. Either powdered black or chrome. The chrome looks way better. We have 6 of them. If you are thinking about them, you can't go wrong with the chrome ones.

I believe all the specifications are the same. The difference is the color/finish of the metal. So, which ever you prefer!

If you are looking for a brushed finished then vibrant stainless will be what you are looking for. Whatever you do, do not get chrome. Hope this helps

The brushed stainless steel, in my opinion, hands down, is better looking and functioning than the chrome.

The one that I bought is Chrome although there is one that is polished Aluminum. That one is about $85.00 where the Chrome one is about $115.00. The more expensive one is Chrome...... I hope this answers Your Question..... ~Pepper~

The carbon blade is a bit thicker but will tend to rust if not cared for properly. Stainless steel has a bit thinner blade. Stainless steel will take much more abuse without rusting, but... it is not impervious to rust if terribly mishandled. Carbon steel has been known to take a keener edge than stainless also. Hope this helps.

There are many stainless alloys. Those that are very shiny contain more chromium. Those that are less shiny, to a bright gray are probably 303 stainless which is slightly magnetic, more heat stabile than other alloys, as well as more durable. This may well be a better product than some of the more costly ones.
