Last week, I visited my friend's house and they uses a stainless steel appliances.

I think it's a really modern look. They had beautiful cherry cabinets and it looked really great with the stainless steel. It is like a restaurant look.

I also rinse my dishes really well before loading them to prevent odors too! I also have a front loading washer with a stainless drum and I do get odor from that..You have to leave the door open to air it out..

I had a dishwasher with a SS interior... I was renovating my condo and replacing all the appliances and found someone selling a Bosch dishwasher for $50. I scooped it up! When we got it home we noticed the odor... almost fishy. We cleaned out the lines that were plugged with food but it still smelled bad. It was a little better after running a cycle with bleach and it was never very bad after that. We did keep the door slightly open when we weren't using it and it helped a lot, and it seemed the worst smell was when we put metal pans in it! Weird. And then we moved and I don't have that problem anymore

Stainless steel is beautiful touches in our kitchen when they are shiny and gleaming. However, stainless steel can show every single streak, smudge and fingerprint on its surface, which can be difficult to maintain. Stainless steel must be regularly cleaned to ensure it lasts a long time. I heard this stainless steel cleaner. A product call “Zep” foaming citrus cleaner.

Thanks, I will look in to that. I bought another cleaner from Ace Hardware (store brand) it was a foam. It worked pretty well.

I have GE Profile series too (except for dishwasher which is sears) and LOVE it but mine is white. My kitchen seemed a little dark so I wanted to lighten it up. I really wish I had gone with stainless. I spoke with a realtor and she says lot of people insist on stainless steel and don't want to look if the appliances are not SS. I think many equate it to more modern. I was thinking I might be able to get new ones before long but the GE Profile appliances just seem to last forever!

My dishwasher also has the Stainless Steel interior. No odor -- I love it! I bought this one to replace a 20+ year old Sears dishwasher. That pretty well sold me on them!

We have the Frigidaire Gallery Series Range, Microwave and Dishwasher, our refrigerator is also frigidaire, but we purchased it 6 years ago when we moved in. It is all stainless steel, with stainless handles. It does spot easily, but I love the look of it. Got to work on getting the photos re-sized and I will repost.

BTW, the dishwasher is the quietest I have EVER used, I have to look at the digital readout to make sure it was on. The "old" Hotpoint dishwasher that came with the house was so loud, it sounded like we had a hurricane in the kitchen, it blocked out all the noise from neighboring rooms it was so loud!

Patti, I just read about your stain. I was sick because Hubby just bought my new appliances this June. The old ones that came with the house were only 6 years old, and still working, but he said he was sick of our SS fridge not matching the white appliances, so he went and bought stainless.

Anyway, I spilled a bottle of stiffener I use for the bows down the front of the dishwasher. I wiped it up, but this stuff is extremely hard to get off once it dries. Sure enough when it did, i had little clear splatter marks all over that would not come off.

I bought one of those microfiber cleaning pads that have the tiny nubs on it, saturated it with vinegar, and sat on the floor and scrubbed, and scrubbed. ALL of it came off. So, you might want to try a cheap, natural product first. I don't think you could do any harm to stainless besides scratch it, but I was not taking any chances on my brand new kitchen stuff!

We ended up getting the Frigidaire Gallery, I love it! It doesn't show fingerprints like a lot of the stainless I've seen, I just love it!

Isn't the dishwasher the best you have ever had? I was amazed, and I love the sanitize feature.

I promise, you are going to want to open it at least one time to make sure it is running--LOL the manual even mentions this, that it is so quiet, that you will not believe it, but we thought "yeah right", and I thought I had a defective one.

I also like it has a long, separate tray besides the silverware rack that you can put things like bottle tops sink stoppers, long knives, things like that in. Nothing ever gets sucked down to the bottom of the dishwasher in this one!
