    Before our remodel we had (30 yo) stainless sink and stove-top. Both cleaned well, they didn't chip, and there are stainless cleaners that leave your appliances looking nice and limiting fingerprints.

    Im now bery bery careful with the sink (an Americast porcelin like finish over a plastic composit), and I've already chipped the white stove.

    The fridge I love.... it's the crinkle finish in white and just doesnt' show fingerprints. However, once dirt does get embedded, it's harder to clean.

    I just love the look of white. We have a very small living area - 400 sf for kit, din, liv. It used to be dark pecan kitchen with rust carpet. Now it's ceiling high natural maple shaker style, with golden oak pergo-like flooring (Wilson Art brand - excellent quality) The counter is course salt-pepper solid surface (Wilson Art again, less expensive than Corian). Appliances (fridge, range, over-the-range microwave) are all bright white. Walls are bright white. Very bright and clean looking, and a good backdrop for decorating. Sink faucet is stainless and wipes down nicely.

    Appearance is generally very low on my list of priorities when I make any purchase. First and foremost a product has to fill my needs and be of excellent quality. After that I'll consider price, and then color. If the colors end up matching, great. But I won't hold back from buying a superior product just because of its color, or because it may look "dated" at some point in the future.

    Spoken like a man...............love it.............wish I could live with that philosophy, but I just can't. I have to have matching.

    And don't be fooled by brand names. There are actually only a handful of manufacturers out there who make the hundreds of brands.

    I own all Whirlpool appliances and love them (even washer and dryer). Quality is great. Oven is SS and microwave (only appliance not a whirlpool) is SS. Side by Side reefer and dishwasher are black. I use a cleaner made for SS and it works great. SS and black combo looks great IMO.

    We go to visit relatives each year and they have all stainless steel appliances.

    What a horrible time trying to clean. Their maid service uses some type of stainless steel cleaner and says she has a go at them at least a couple times a week. These relative's have 4 active children all below 9 years old. Lots of finger prints from little hands.

    Hi Care,

    Stainless can look nice if you wipe it with very clean solution, not dingy dishwater ... and if you immediately dry it, so that the residual water does not form streaks. There are also stainless steel cleaners you can buy at many grocery stores that helps reduce streaking and fingerprints. - Jim W.
