Anyone with stainless steel appliances? My bf is renovating and he is going with stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, We have decided to get the Frigidare Gallery series because it has the finger print resistant stainless. Anyone have Frigidaire or stainless steel? I've heard a lot of negatives on it for keeping it clean, but I figured the print resistant one is much better. It's so darn expensive, I'm just hoping it is the right thing for us.:rolleyes: |
1 Attachment(s) I have the print resistant and I LOVE it! It's easy to keep clean looking and I love the way it looks. Here's a picture of my kitchen (you can't see it but the diswasher matches the rest of the appliances): Attachment 314256 |
We have stainless..I have the GE. profile series..and LG. dishwasher. We went with the shiny stainless..In my opinion it looks nicer than the smudge free. The smudge free is sort of dull and takes away from the look of stainless. We do have a little more up keep. Well, alot..but it is easy and it looks so gorgeous! We like the modern look too! Good luck and either way you go you should be happy :) |

I have GE Profile, all but the fridge (next year when we do the kitchen over) ... so far so good, I highly recommend though, NOT getting a dishwasher with a stainless steel interior, just exterior. For some reason everyone I know who has one does not use it because they said it has a really bad odor all the time, almost emitting from it. I have a stainless steel dishwasher but it has a white plastic interior. |

I have the fridgadre Gallery series, I love it, it makes the house and kitchen all together look really sleek. I will try to post up pictures :). |
I have stainless steel interior in my dishwasher..no odor though. One person told me you have to use a real small amount of dishwashing liquid, like a tablespoon or little less and always make sure you have rinse aid. The odor is from mildew build up. 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.. |
We just redid our kitchen and put in SS appliances. We went with Whirlpool. The SS is hard to keep clean. I am always finding fingerprints. Looks nice though. |
Thanks for your input Everyone! Quote:

We have had stainless steel appliances, since we redid our kitchen in 2004. Love the way it looks, but it is a little high maintanance on the fingerprints. i just use a wet wash rag, then dry it with a towel. I would do it all over again, so not that much work. :) |
Thanks Lisa! |
We bought our ss appliances almost a year ago, and they are LG. I love the LED lights in the fridge, the stove has a flat surface and buttons (no knobs), and the dishwasher has the buttons on top (also has a ss interior, which I like, and no heating element at the bottom so you won't melt anything if it falls :)). So far, we have no complaints with anything :D |
I have the SS GE Profile too and really love them. We also have the confection microwave which is GREAT! Not only is it an extra oven but also has the microwave with it! :thumbup: We haven't replaced the dishwasher yet but that is next. We have the plastic interior and it had so much soap build up it was just gross. So the other day I went on a mission to find something to clean it. I read that you can add a cup of white vinegar and baking soda to clean any soap build up. After you can add a cup to your loads to keep it smelling great. I tried it and it really worked! :thumbup: |
Don't shy away from real stainless if that's what you like. I clean my appliances with WD-40 and it's awsome!!!! I know it sounds creepy but it cleans and polishes. It does smell industril for a minute but it passes then you have super clean and shiny appliances. I have a stainless gas stove and it cleans the top like brand new...trust me:) Pledge stainless polish is great too. |

I have stainless steel on the interior of my dishwasher, and had no problems. My dishes go in there clean, though. From everything I've read, stainless steel is quieter, it doesn't stain, and there aren't odors. I have a Kitchen Aid now that broke after not having it long (the control panel). It probably doesn't pay to repair it, so I am looking for one now. I looked at the Frigidaire Professional. I'm considering getting it. It looks really nice. Frigidaire is now owned by Electrolux, so it is European style. It has a cup that will hold food particles that you have to empty instead of grinding up the food. That makes it quieter and, for me, there usually aren't food particles when I put the dishes in. I'm a little OCD about some things, and not at all about others. I really like the look of stainless steel exterior. Bonny, your kitchen is beautiful. |
We have Frigidaire stainless steel appliances and absolutely love them. Stainless steel and granite are a must! My stove is ss with a black top surface; cleaning the black top was a nightmare for me at first, but after trying numerous products, I found that Dawn and micro fiber cleaning cloths work best. For cleaning ss, I only use products that state for ss. |
We put in the SS a few months ago and now I see on the fridge 3 long streak marks. it looks like something was dripped down it in 3 places. I can't get it off. Any suggestions? No one is owning up doing it so I don't know what caused it. I hate the way it looks and want to see if I can get a replacement door if I can't get it off. Thanks |

Were you able to get the streaks off? |
No I tried rubbing hard with vinegar and water and now the streak marks look a little less noticeable because now their are covered by a wider area of where I cleaned. I am going to try the WD 40 on a small area to see if it works. |
