brand for appliances to decrease fingerprint

17 years ago

Hi everyone.

We are going to get ss appliances. I want to get ones that show fingerprints the least(3kids,messy husband), any suggestions? I read more nickel helps but which ones have more in them?

Due to our kitchen plans we need to get

-Counter depth fridge, want water and ice on outside

-30 inch wall oven will be beside fridge, micro above oven

-36" slide in gas cooktop (to decrease granite price)

-dishwasher will be beside cooktop

I want the ss to match pretty well, especially if we don't get all one brand for all appliances. Any suggestions for brand to use? We want reliable appliances that work well, not the highest quality as price is an issue, but good quality for sure.

I have a Samsung fridge, Frigidaire range, and Kenmore dw, all in ss. The range has a special coating and it doesn't show fingerprints as much as the other two. However, I don't feel any of them are too bad. A couple of times cleaning the fingerprints off themselves and DS and DD (ages 8 and 6) learned pretty quickly to use the handles on the appliances!

The fridge and wall oven will be side by side on a wall by themselves. Do you think that they need to be the same brand to match?

My sub zero fridge almost never shows finger prints.

The small stainless control panel on my Miele dishwasher on the other hand, shows prints very easily, from DH pushing the panel to close the machine. drives me nuts, but only takes two seconds with a cloth and a little water to rub them out.
