not sure about the grade of stainless steel but I got it for my 2 year old daughter and it is really hard to suck the water out and it was even hard for me to do it too. So I would not purchase it.

Yes it is stainless steel. The new ones are so just make sure you don't buy a used one. I highly recommend it. Doesn't take much more effort than microwave popcorn and it's way better. I melt butter and pour it on after popcorn rests at least a minute in a big bowl. And then I sprinkle the Parmesan Romano cheese from trader joes (red label) on top. A few rounds of butter and cheese and it's delicious!!! Enjoy. Just had to add in the cheese popcorn recipe because it's amazing!!!

Yes it is food grade and the only one I use for myself and my cats. I don't recall the percentage and it doesn't say on the container. The company has a free downloadable pdf if you want email them or go to their website. Lots of good information.

In our experience using the machine I would say yes, all food contact areas are stainless steel. I am sure there are other parts of the machine that aren't steel, but what type of material it is, I am unsure. We have only had positive experiences with the machine, it cleans up easily, slices very well, is quiet and seems to be well made.

There is no available information regarding the 'grade' of the stainless steel used. Neither the information provided by Amazon or the information contained within the very brief booklet which accompanied the product. It APPEARS to be a quality stainless. It is produced by a quality manufacturer. The purchase price suggests it is quality. I personally like it. Best yet, it is recommended as a 'Best Buy' by America's Test Kitchen. They test everything about a product. If it's a Best Buy from them, it is quality. However, I understand your sense of caution.

It is not stainless steel; I have worked with products similar to this. I used a magnet to check even though it's too shiny for stainless steel. Stainless would be physically heavier, too.

No it is just stainless steel. I got it because I didn't want the toxic Teflon coating. So it can be difficult to clean. Just soak it.

Found the grade on their website: food grade type 304 18/8 stainless steel. No aluminum and it is not lined with plastic. We use glass bottles but were traveling and wanted something more sturdy. Bonus that it converts to a sippy cup (baby is still trying to figure it out though, you really need to suck to get anything out). I'm happy with this purchase so far, but haven't had it long enough/used it enough yet to write a proper review. Hope this helps :)

Yes, it is food grade salt. I have been using it for nothing but my food and I'm doing just fine. :-)

I think the plastic will hold up better than stainless steel it won't rust it's easy to clean and so far hasn't absorbed any oders and I have put onion scraps into it and other items that have a strong Oder and I washed it with dish detergent and it didn't smell at all. I love mine.

Yes it is food grade. The other grade is pool grade. Food grade even you can consume as well as apply it to your dog's coat. Also this brand has no additives, that is what you are really looking for in a product for internal consumption.

Its not plastic and we have had the toaster over a year with no toxic smell- its metal and cleans like stainless steel. We love it!

I really have no idea if this is BPA free, but it is at least 90% stainless steel. We have had it for a few years now and use it almost every day. No problems. Never have had to clean it or descale it. I recommend it highly.

Kayleigh - I don't know what grade stainless steel this is constructed of, but I purchased mine in November 2011, it gets used daily, and hasn't rusted yet!

Yes it's stainless steel. Most parts are dishwasher safe, although I always hand wash.
