Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jan 08, 2010 4:57 pm We will be buying new fridge soon, what are your opionions/preferences on white and stainless steel fridge. I have always felt that 'whitegoods' should be white, but im starting to lean towards the brushed stainless but worry about marks etc. What do you have, what do you prefer and why??? Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 2Jan 08, 2010 5:01 pm I love SS, I actually think it blends with the surrounding cupboards better, no matter what colour they are. It does mark more but I don't care I just love it. Silver is such a pleasing colour. Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 3Jan 08, 2010 5:23 pm I like the look of SS, but I detest the finger prints and marks. If we get a new fridge down the track, I'd go for one of those ones that are 'fake' SS- there's quite a few on the market these days- so you get the no-mark feature of a white fridge, with the lovely grey appearance. We just bought a microwave that is 'SS look.' I always drool over the 700L side by side fridge/freezers in the catalogues and wonder if one day one will be mine Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 4Jan 08, 2010 6:03 pm Personally, I'd luuuurrvvv a red fridge This one's by LG Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We have a relo in Canada who has a red washer & dryer ....I wish. But hey, if it's a choice b/t white & SS..... ss all the way Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 5Jan 09, 2010 2:18 pm We had a white fridge, but that got shoved in the garage when we moved in. We bought a side by side Westinghouse with the 'no mark' stainless steel to match the rest of the kitchen appliances. It sits next to the wall oven and microwave and blends in really well. Our old one would have looked silly...but we didn't buy it wholly to 'blend', I always wanted the inbuilt ice and water dispenser! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

I prefer all the appliances to be the same and since the stove was stainless everything had to match. Our last fridge was an Amana brand (American brand) and you could get different coloured panels made to suit whatever colour you wanted. Again we stuck with stainless but the option was there should we have wanted to use the same laminex as the cupboards. Some things are worth waiting for.

So I am GLAD that you can't get them here because we just went and bought a SS one, and I would have hate dthe look on DH's face when i said I wanted THAT red one www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 10Jan 09, 2010 6:43 pm We bought our white side by side Whirlpool with an ice dispenser a couple of years before we built. So with the SS appliances we have, it matches in with our white cupboards. At our colour appt the lady kindly assisted us so we could keep it. I aren't real keen on SS fridges due to finder markks but may get one when this one has ended it's life. Hopefully by then we can get those lovely red ones here. They are cool!!!

I am sure I will get used to it, even though it seems so upside down! I guess I like the look of white goods, when everything else was white (ovens dishwashers etc) But now nothing in the kitchen usually is! kettles toasters, microwaves. They are mostly all SS!! BUT I LOVE RED....and I have found a beautiful blood red (burgundy) morphy richards kettle which I have ordered in. SOOOO happy, cos I had seen the fire engine red, but it was a to bright and then I saw the burgundy which was juuuuuuuuust right !! Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 17Jan 11, 2010 9:16 am My mum has a SS fridge, and the finger prints from when family visited were enough to send me loopy if it were my fridge, so we chose to buy a white pigeon pair. Now we have SS appliances, I thought it would bother me, but it doesnt. Our oven is that black glass stuff with very little SS, and the fridge is nowhere near the dishwasher, so it doesnt really clash. After we have kids, and they have grown up enough to not touch everything with sticky fingers, I will consider it though Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 18Jan 11, 2010 9:24 am We just bought a new Westinghouse WSE6100SA which is "fingerprint resistant". We have 2 young children & although not 100% mark free, it does hold up pretty well & we are very happy with the finish on it. My only regret was not getting the 700L model!! Re: Stainless steel versus white fridge????? 20Jan 11, 2010 9:37 am I'd get one with that finger resistant technology... my parents have that on their SS fridge and it does to the trick!
