I installed mine about 5 years ago, no issues at all - no buildup or anything. It depends on the part of the country you are in; well water or city water; filters, etc..

I agree that I have seen some nasty ones, but a simple weekly wipedown seems to keep mine like new..

So, I suppose it is a case of maintenance?
