I think as our appliances break we will replace them with SS or that slate that @noodlefish: just linked. Didn't know it existed until now, but me likey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525755 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:26:15 +0000 noodlefish 525755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ge came out with an alternative to stainless and I think it is called slate. I LOVE IT. We just purchased a home and will not be remodeling the kitchen for awhile, but slate appliances are definitely on my wish list!</p> <p><a href="http://www.geappliances.com/design_center/slate-appliances/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geappliances.com/design_center/slate-appliances/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525701 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:18:32 +0000 betsyboop 525701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@REESE: Whoa thanks, I'm totally going to try this! </p> <p>We're all stainless but I think it looks awful when it gets dirty. And I'm too lazy to clean it all the time so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525694 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:17:08 +0000 mrskc 525694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I like white. I wouldn't be opposed to Ss, but its more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525684 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:14:25 +0000 T-Mom 525684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I heard as well that SS is on the way out, too! I'm curious what this slate looks like.</p> <p>We have all stainless, except one oven which is white and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525680 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:13:18 +0000 LAGS 525680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, even though we technically don't have the budget for it. Right now our kitchen is all ss but our stove. it drives me crazy but it's a newer, perfectly good stove so it's not going anywhere. I also went satin nickel fixtures and hardware. </p> <p>@mrs. bird: I'm with you on the handles. We've bought two ss fridges in our day and not many have ss handles in our budget. I searched high and low to make it happen. It killed me to buy a dishwasher with the black control panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525553 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:46:07 +0000 matador84 525553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how shiny it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525548 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:45:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 525548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: some SS is magnetic. It depends on the quality of SS. It also helps with cleaning based on the finish and quality of SS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525544 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:44:46 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 525544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We're picking out appliances for our new house now. On a side note, our builder does not include the refrigerator in our appliance allowance. I feel gypped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525428 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:29:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 525428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all stainless, but its really all about the overall look and feel of the kitchen. I also like the appliances that look like they are part of the cabinetry. If I kept a neater fridge, i would love one with a glass door :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525386 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:24:54 +0000 Reese 525386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same... all appliances and fixtures..etc must be SS/brushed nickel.. etc..</p> <p>The secret to cleaning SS appliances (or maybe everyone knows this) is a microfiber cloth and some water. The guy at the appliance place told me this when I was buying the special SS cleaner. That is how he cleans all of the appliances in the showroom.</p> <p>Voila! no streaks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525374 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:22:34 +0000 heffalump 525374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I prefer white..... I'm not into modern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525368 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:21:13 +0000 tororojo 525368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't own yet so I can't be a snob, but I read an article the other day that slate is coming in, stainless steel is going out...I am intrigued to see if that is an accurate forecast for the next few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525354 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:19:41 +0000 mrs. bird 525354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRS. LEMON-LIME: we're opposite! i'm anti black appliances, but i'm fine with white or stainless. i like our stainless, but i don't love cleaning them. i also don't like when stainless has big black plastic handles &amp; accents on them, it ruins the clean look for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525299 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:10:33 +0000 hilsy85 525299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, love them. However in out apt the fridge and dishwasher are paneled so they have the same outer look as our cabinetry. I originally didn't like it but now I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525277 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:07:06 +0000 shopaholic 525277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the look of SS, but it would have been too expensive to replace the existing white electric stove top, double ovens, and dishwasher, so we just left them. Our fridge and microwave are SS though, and our W/D set look like stainless steel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525252 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:59:53 +0000 Smurfette 525252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I love the look of them. In our new house the dishwasher is almost new but I want to replace it cause it is black and everything else is SS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525238 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 525238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I am anti-white appliances. We have Stainless Steel appliances, but I was very happy with black appliances in the homes we looked at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525215 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:53:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 525215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like stainless but it's not a must-have for me. I hate keeping it clean and I don't like how it's not magnetic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525204 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:52:13 +0000 banana 525204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like how stainless steel looks but hate cleaning it! I might go with all white appliances now. They make them more modern looking nowadays, which i love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525151 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:40:59 +0000 Springtime 525151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a stainless steel fridge but all other appliances are black!

I love stainless steel appliances. My fridge is the only thing in my kitchen not stainless. I can't wait to replace it one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-stainless-steel-snob#post-525128 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:37:14 +0000 autumnlove 525128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

All new appliances must be stainless steel! In turn all house finishes are satin nickel to match! </p>
