Is the basket stainless steel or chrome plated metal?

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.

The basket and handle/frame are fabricated with chrome-plated materials; they are not stainless steel.

I'm no metallurgist but it appears to be chrome plated...wouldn't venture a guess on what's beneath...non-the-less well constructed and I expect it will hold up for at least several years...peaches & bananas can't create too much metal fatigue...!

The drainer is stainless steel. I worried about that also when ordering it but am happy it really is stainless steel. The extra chrome plated basket I ordered from elsewhere at the same time shows rust & wear. The drainer is just like new.

The basket is not aluminum. It is more magnetic than a high grade stainless steel.

The description says it is chrome. It would probably be much more expensive if it were stainless steel.

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

It is chromed plastic. the inner workings have to have some metal due to the weight of the whole unit, but it is sturdy and made well. It sits right between the forks on my motorcycle, so it gets all the wind right over it, and even with the horrible roads in Tucson, AZ it has held up well. Sounds GREAT!!!!!! as well.

Both. It's made mostly of chrome plated stainless steel, with a couple of plastic parts.

The rack is actually not a metal. It is a chrome plated, microwave safe material.

It is 12" long and 4" wide. The front of the basket is 3" deep with the back of the basket being slightly deeper at 4". It is a dull metal finish, not a shiny stainless steel look. Hope this helps.

I've had this basket hanging in my beach front home for over 10 years. It is in front of a window that is open all summer long to the salty (corrosive to all metals) ocean breezes and only now are the baskets starting to show some rust. I would not have noticed the small point of rust at the soldered points except the chain (which is not stainless steel) broke is several places. So I'm back on Amazon looking to replace it.

I believe its stainless steel. I bought it for a friend of mine who owns a bakery. I know that he has used it several times for weddings and loves it. It is sturdy and beautiful. Classic piece.

I don't know if it is Brass, maybe stainless steel underneath, but it is chrome plated and hard metal, not plastic. Its great quality, I have been using it for 8 months now switching from a rain shower, handheld, and massage jet.

The basket is magnetic, indicating that it is stainless steel and not aluminum. However a magnet does not stick to the basket lid or the perk tube so these parts could not be definitively identified as stainless steel.

It is stainless, almost looks like a chromed stainless. Easy to clean unit as well. I love this machine!
