Maybe worse than the fact that it rusted was the way customer support handed it. It says it has a lifetime warranty. After going back and forth with customer service in a few email exchanges they told me they would need several picture of the rust to be able to help. I took the shots above, sent them to them, and then heard nothing back for several months.
After following up a couple of times I finally received an email back saying rust was not covered under the lifetime warranty. If rusting isn't covered, what is? It's not as if you can make a stainless steel pot rust due to misuse. It's entirely due to the design and manufacturing process and the quality of the materials used. It's hard to imagine a scenario where it could the customers fault.
More significantly though, this is an exceptionally poor way to run a business. Stand behind your products and the promising you make, and support your customers when things go wrong.
I'd happily pay $10 or more above what I paid for a pot that didn't rust. My guess is it would cost less than a dollar extra to have made the stainless steel layer a little thicker or a bit higher grade (316 or 321 - more chromium) would have solved the problem.

UPDATE: I've had the pot a while and it is showing evidence of corrosion on the bottom. I haven't had any problem with cracking that is mentioned in other reviews ... but I have not used corrosive liquids in the pot, I don't use it for brining, there's no reason a quality stainless pot should be corroding with the light use it's had over about a year and a half or so.

This is a sturdy, not to thin walled, not too heavy, and will last a lifetime stockpot. We have been using it to make stock/bone broth in and it is perfect and will pay for itself in a matter of a few uses.
If you are hesitating to buy this, just pull the trigger on it, you won’t be disappointed.
