What happens if stainless has attachments or insulation?
Short answer: Buyers deduct for the weight of non-stainless parts such as steel frames, motors, insulation, rubber seals and plastic, or price the whole piece as a lower grade, so it pays to remove large attachments when it is easy and to describe what is left honestly, because insulated or mixed pieces such as refrigeration equipment are often priced as mixed metal.
