I hope the trend goes away and something easier to clean comes in style. For now, if we bought a new place I would much prefer plain white appliances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances/page/2#post-1826102 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:52:24 +0000 Dandelion 1826102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all stainless. we bought a Maytag kitchen suite when we bought our home. We really wanted slate, but it was too much to justify. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances/page/2#post-1826046 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:04:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 1826046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all stainless. I'm not really worried about whether they are a trend or "classic"; they are appliances and will have to be replaced in 10 or whatever years anyway! </p> <p>I would love to have panelled front on our appliances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825998 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:38:44 +0000 ShootingStar 1825998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the look of stainless but I think it's a trend. It's been the popular thing for about 10 years now, so I feel like at some point it will start to look dated. But there doesn't seem to be anything clearly taking over yet. There's a lot of black and white stuff out there, but the standard still seems to be stainless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825962 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:23:03 +0000 looch 1825962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a white stove, a white dishwasher with a wood panel to match the cabinets and a stainless fridge. We like the hodge podge style, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825942 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:10:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1825942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: that looks awesome! the inside of my fridge is too messy for the world to see tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825941 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:10:29 +0000 fairy 1825941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a stainless fridge and stove, but honestly I think it is just a trend and in 10 years or so people will look at them as outdated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825933 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:08:48 +0000 plantains 1825933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Gorgeous fridge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825886 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:45:50 +0000 lamariniere 1825886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: @oliviaoblivia: ah! I didn't know that's what they are called. It was funny because when we first started looking for apartments, I was like "none of these places have fridges/dishwashers!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825829 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:27:03 +0000 hilary 1825829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have stainless, smudge free but I still have to use that special cleaner on them every week or they look terrible. If yours function then I'd leave them be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825825 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:26:11 +0000 sunny 1825825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Looks gorgeous! My fridge is always a disaster though so I need the opaque door to hide the mess, just like with all the cabinets :)</p> <p>We have a stainless stove/microwave hood but the fridge is white and the dishwasher is black. It's a mishmash because it was like that when we moved in! We are too cheap to replace something an appliance that isn't broken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825823 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:25:40 +0000 MrsMed 1825823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Oh la la! That's BEAUTIFUL.</p> <p>I love glass door fridges too - ever since I first saw one in "Three Men and a Baby" (yes! That long ago!)<br /> We're also in the market for new appliances for our soon-to-be built home. I'm afraid of them tho, that would require a level or organization that I don't have. And an at-least weekly cleaning. Mama can't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825822 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:25:34 +0000 chopsuey 1825822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: My fridge is a disaster too.

So gorgeous. </p> <p>@mrsjyw: If there is nothing with them, i'm not sure if i'd bother. But i know buyers usually a make a big deal out of them when house hunting. We had black appliances at our old house and they were fine. I hate the smudges on our stainless steel appliances, and even more so that i can't put magnets on the fridge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825759 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:06:24 +0000 rattles 1825759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our current place has stainless, but when we renovated the kitchen in our old place, I chose white. I think stainless will look dated soon, and I'm already over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825758 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:06:23 +0000 mrs. bird 1825758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all stainless. i like stainless or white, not a fan of black appliances, they're fine in other people's kitchens, just not a look i'm drawn to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825737 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:03:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1825737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted panelled appliances, but we have stainless.

Our cabinets are white and hide the fridge and dish washer, but our oven is stainless. I like the look now, but I also wonder how well it will age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825126 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:45:20 +0000 Bao 1825126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White for stove, refrigerator and microwave but stainless steel for dishwasher since we just installed it when we moved in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825111 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:39:55 +0000 coopsmama 1825111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: I'm pretty sure ours are only clean in the 5 minutes following cleaning. My toddler seems to always touch them with his grubby hands that are normally sticky or grimy from snacks.

I'm not really a fan of stainless appliances, they're just not my style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825105 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:38:08 +0000 Reese 1825105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SS - our house had brand new white appliances when we purchased it but I really wanted SS. The white would have clashed with our kitchen reno which has espresso coloured cabinets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825094 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:36:01 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1825094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The appliances in our house were white when we moved in but the oven was gross and the dishwasher barely worked so we replaced them with stainless. Eventually we found a good deal on a stainless refrigerator and moved the old white one to the garage. I don't have kids yet but I'm sure they won't help with the smudges but I love everything else about stainless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825092 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:35:52 +0000 Mamaof2 1825092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I love them!!! Every now and then I use Bar Keepers friend on them and they sparkle..... until my kids rub their hands all over them :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825076 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:30:12 +0000 pui 1825076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the IL's old stove and fridge, which are white (and also still work amazingly... they don't make 'em like they used to). For our smaller appliances (toaster oven, microwave, blender, ect) we have all stainless steel. We're not in our forever home.</p> <p>Personally I love the look of stainless steel but find it hard to keep clean. I think I'd probably opt for white or black appliances in the future, depending on the look of the rest of the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825069 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:28:22 +0000 MrsBrewer 1825069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love stainless, but I have all black appliances (except for our white fridge) I don't think stainless is feasible in a house with 2 dogs, that touch everything with the noses, and hopefully LO's in the near future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-stainless-steel-appliances#post-1825068 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:28:22 +0000 swedishfish 1825068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have black because we didn't want to spend the money on stainless. This, hopefully, is not our forever home. </p>
