What is the difference between the stainless and brushed stainless options?

The lid is black on the stainless option. The brushed stainless doesn't show finger-prints and is more matte; also has a metal lid to help block odors.

The stainless has a shiny finish and the brushed has a brushed look. I have the brushed stainless because it doesn't show fingerprints like the stainless does but still looks great. Love my trash can by the way!

I have the brushed finish and it is like a satin finish. I presume the other is more polished.

Brushed stainless finish so not shiny. ..but for a stainless sink, I'd say it's a match

I would recommend vibrant stainless as it is the same color as a stainless steel sink (or very close to it. Each manufacturer might vary slightly). It also is brushed to match a stainless steel sink. Chrome is a mirrored finish and is not the same color as the sink. However, it would be a matter of personal preference.

I would say matte: brushed stainless steel rather than polished stainless steel, like so many refrigerators and stoves these days.

The finish is basically the same. ( The brushed look) The metals are different, one is stainless which has a natural brushed look. The other is nickel which needs to be brushed to get that look. The colors are so close to each other that it is sometimes hard to tell them apart. Hope this helps.

I have a painted one that didn't fare well cosmetically after a couple rounds in the dishwasher. I advise just buying the stainless one if you intend to use the dishwasher.

We have the brushed chrome and it matches our brushed stainless sink nicely. Gives a consistent look matching sink and faucet. If your going for chrome faucet, chrome would probably work also.

I had the same question myself. I called Delta customer service and they tried to explain it to me but it's hard to convey over the phone. I think it boiled down to it's slightly frostier. In my opinion, there's not much of a difference. Stainless comes in multiple finishes from brushed to polished. I have a stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, range, exhaust hood, and faucet. The finishes are all slightly different but they all look close enough to each other to "match". The faucet works awesomely and I have been very pleased. It's the only one Delta sells with the euro-style valve control which I prefer to the ball type. The magna-dock feature keeps the sprayer head firmly in place and is something every competitor would copy except for Delta's patent. I hope this helps.

It is brushed stainless. Very well made and spacious. We have it in a wall cabinet and does the job.

It is brushed stainless steel. It matches all of our other stainless steel appliances. HTH...

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.

we have a brushed stainless finish...not high shine... it goes nicely with our stainless stove and microwaves...overall, the faucet is great, a very towering/impressive appearance, easy to use, works flawlessly so far (1 month)...recommend this item without reservations

It is a brushed finish. It doesn't look like my stainless refrigerator (more grey and less reflective), but it looks pretty good!

The one I have is brushed stainless with a flat black color base that has a stainless strip on top.

I would call it brushed stainless steel. It is definitely a smooth surface. No texture on the metal which makes it easy to clean. It is not super shiny like chrome.

It's a milder stainless steel, the kind that won't leave fingerprints. So far so good, no rust.

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!
