So, it sticks to stainless?

Its an above average strength magnet, but doesn't break any natural laws or anything.

The internet says magnets sticking to stainless depends on what type of stainless it is, not the magnet. This sticks weakly to my kitchen sink, but sticks very hard to the espresso machine. Regular kitchen magnets behave the same way.

Yep depends mainly on the carbon content IIRC.

Most stainless used in appliances and cookware is not magnetic. (Stainless knives being one exception.) Check your machine with a refrigerator magnet - I was surprised to see that the front panel of my Giotto is very magnetic - that one panel is I think chromed mild steel rather than stainless. The rest (top, tray, sides) are non-magnetic stainless.

P.S.
Thanks Shawn - just fired off an order. Should look much better than my cheap shaving mirror.

Just checked the Vetrano with a small magnet, and little stick to the front, more on the side. Maybe a stronger magnet would be enough.
