I've had magnetics on my black stainless steel for 6 yrs and never had any scratches! Still looks brand new. I love my black stainless steel. It's different and beautiful. Who wants the same old stainless steel like everyone else? Not Me.
What brand of refrigerator do you have? Manufacturers make them all differently, and we've noticed that Bosch has done the best job at Black Stainless. It certainly is a lovely unique look!
Living with all Kitchenaid black stainless appliances for the last 3 years I completely disagree with this assessment in my experience. I LOVE them compared to regular stainless. You don't need to buy ANY special cleaner. Just use a dishrag with a little dish soap & dry with a towel on just the dirty area. No need to clean the whole surface to avoid smearing like with regular stainless & they don't even get smudged as easily in the first place. Cleaning them is a breeze. My previous stainless ranges always had some scratching at the cooking surface but so far I don't have any scratches on any of the black stainless appliances & I do have kids. No signs of any peeling but again I am cleaning with just soap & water. They still look brand new. I would absolutely do them again without hesitation. I would have a much harder time going back to regular stainless steel, they were so much harder to maintain! I do agree though that you can not match across brands (it's like gold hardware, each is unique) & to research your manufacture.
This is why I purchased from Bosch. They are the only ones in the industry that integrate black stainless all the way through their appliances. All of the other black stainless steel is just a coating that will peel off. It is more expensive, but well worth the money.
I have had black stainless kitchenaid appliances for 7 years now. They are still perfect. And no, I do not use magnets on my appliances. The multiple functions/fancy stuff on fridges commonly malfunction. I went with a basic fridge 🤷♀️
One small thing you left out is that it can also peel. A chunk came off my dishwasher door at the end of the handle where it meets the door. It was because the door flexed a little bit when I pulled back on the handle and now it has a big piece that peeled off. To fix it my only choice is to buy another entire door for $255.00. I will never buy black again
Thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear this happened. Not all black stainless are created in the same way so while some (maybe even most) can peel, some of them do not peel because of how they are made!.
Same thing happend to my oven door and when I called samsung after only having it for a week they said I would need to buy a new door also. Samsung has the worst black stainless....we were lied to and told it was baked in and it defintately is not!
I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with the content of the video; regarding the slate color GE appliances. We had all brand new GE slate appliances in the house as of 2019. In later 2020, microwave and dishwasher both broke outside of warranty. After a few hundred dollars worth of service calls we had to replace. Main reason was the microwave was still running when opening the door!!!! And dishwasher had main circuit board replaced, user control circuit board replaced, door switch and main rubber seal around the door replaced... poor quality
Yeah, I bought a brand new GE microwave a while ago, it broke just outside of the one year warranty!! I was pissed! That was maybe 15-20 years ago. I have never bought another GE, not even their light bulbs. The brand is terrible on the pocket and the environment. Right after that I bought an off brand microwave from Target, on sale for $38. Has been working beautifully for all these years, with zero issues. So yeah, he lost me when he promoted GE. And I love the black stainless look, it looks fantastic and classy. Always hated the look of regular stainless steal. It just looks cheap, very cold, like in an sterile environment, like a hospital or morgue! Not sure why it was ever popular. I would go back to clean white, before I ever buy the ugly stainless steel.
He's not "full of it." Look around online. There are COUNTLESS customers complaining about the scratch issue. Just because you haven't scratched yours, don't act like this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. You're the one out of the loop.
I love my black stainless Kitchenaid Fridge. I've had it more than a year and there are still no scratches. It really looks classy in my kitchen. That being said, I use regular stainless for all my other kitchen appliances. The trim on a kitchenaid fridge is regular stainless with red end trim anyway, so it mixes well with stainless pieces. I do agree that it may not be worth the extra cost to get black stainless in most appliances. I also think only Bosch and Kitchenaid actually look good in black stainless anyway. They are more of a brushed stainless instead of shiny. With current trends toward lighter kitchen colors, it may not even look that good in most kitchens. It looks great with industrial and rustic kitchen styles.
It's just one of those guys who always want everything to be grey-ish: clothes, cars, homes, etc...you know, because you can't see dirt on grey [eye rolls]. I like black, it looks way better, easier to fix any chips with a sharpie or many available paints and other materials.
I was going to buy a black stainless, the only thing that stopped me was that magnets would not stick, I’m looking at a platinum silver one now, but can’t find out if magnets will stick, and can’t seem to find out. I’m happy I just saw this, another reason, good to know
Its not educational its a sweeping statement... the quality of the finish will depend on a few things ... manufacturer... process used ....environment... to say they are all the same is just stupid
I have black shiny appliances and I love them. Not sure if they are stainless or not/ My fridge is Samsung and all the rest are whirlpool. I have no scratches at all on any of them and had them for about 8 years! I am looking for a black stainless sink but all can find is gunmetal. You dont realize it until you read further. I have been looking for days! Do you know of a true black stainless sink?
So what exactly is the slate, and how/why is it better? I thought slate was stainless as well, and so if it’s covered stainless, wouldn’t it cause the same issue? What about the matte white on the Cafe series? Any concerns there?
In nearly 4 years of selling appliances, I've only heard 1 complaint on black stainless, and that was from the couples children drawing on the refrigerator with crayon, and their cleaner of choice wearing through the coating. Scratches through the "black" film coating can be fixed with a Sharpie, but depending on how big the scratch is it may still be noticeable. Also doesn't work as well on glossy black stainless finishes because the Sharpie will dry to a matte finish, though still more desirable than seeing a bright stainless scratch shine through your black stainless appliance. Also, once scratched cleaning can cause peeling.
@sabajess9083 Maytag? Depends if you buy their cheap products, not really. Their top tier products seem much better from feedback I have received. With Maytag appliances, some parts are covered for 10 years, depending on which appliance you buy, but labor is only covered for 1 year.
Hi guys, I just discovered your channel and I love it. I already watched many videos in a few minutes. They are short with precise informations. Thank you so much for your help. 👍
Hello George! We are so glad to hear this! Thank you so much for watching our videos. We are glad to hear you enjoy them. Please let us know if there are any videos you'd like to see from us in the future. Thank you again for your support! Have a great day.
Our LG kitchen Appliances are 4 years old and the stove started peeling around the door handle. Any ideas how to seal the finish so it doesn’t peel more? Just noticed a slight scratch on the frig hoping the finish doesn’t start to peel. I can deal with it under the handles just don’t want the stop to grow.
Hi Esther! Here is our video about cleaning stainless steel appliances. We briefly cover scratches and how to cover them up! We hope this helps th-cam.com/video/2v-agSpa1WY/w-d-xo.html
@@BoulevardHome thank you. I watched it. The problem we have with our LG refrigerator is scratches from magnets. We don’t have those magnets on the fridge anymore but the scratches are there and if there is a buffer or something to remove them I would like to know. We have company coming this Sunday from out of state spending two weeks with us. They look terrible. Thanks again!

I think I’m about to say something that will offend some people. I still prefer white appliances. They are way easier to live with. I think they look cleaner and are classic. I’m sure I’m about to ruin someone’s day with that.

Thank you, for this. The reason I have never gotten stainless steel is because of the fingerprints make me nuts when I see them on other people's appliances. Scratches will make me nuts, too.

I put clearcoat polish on my black stainless steel
Refrigerator seems to be working pretty good I’ve noticed the scratches are not peeling any more.
Hi Monica! We are so glad to hear that clear nail polish is working for you! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!
what kind of polish do you use?
I have a Samsung fridge three year old no scratches
They have a beautiful look to them and if you take good care of them like you are they are worth it!
What cleaning spray do y’all recommend to use to clean the black refrigerator from finger prints
Our LG kitchen Appliances are 4 years old and the stove started peeling around the door handle. Any ideas how to seal the finish so it doesn’t peel more? Just noticed a slight scratch on the frig hoping the finish doesn’t start to peel. I can deal with it under the handles just don’t want the stop to grow.
I
I do love the look so I’ll get one of your suggestions next time
My black stainless fridge and stove looked great for about two years, then things started to peel. I hope there's a fix for that.
How durable is the Tuscan finish?
so what color is best. went to home depot and the stainless steel all had little dents in them
I think this was very helpful. I was thinking of black stainless. But think I will checkout what other black finishes there are.
My stainless fridge scratched just from a magnet! So it’s scratched no matter what from who knows what because we don’t put stuff on it.
Great to know. Now I understand all of the scratches on my Samsung.
Thanks for watching! We are glad we were able to help.
Which Samsung do you have? just got a Samsung fridge and would hate to see this scratch within the year!

Perfect: black-stainless, it is.
Too late. Now what?How do i fix a smug?
I which I knew that before I bought my fridge I’m definitely leaving it when I sale the house
I think I’m about to say something that will offend some people. I still prefer white appliances. They are way easier to live with. I think they look cleaner and are classic. I’m sure I’m about to ruin someone’s day with that.
LOL, yeah, people get offended a lot these days. I do agree with you, white is much better than stainless steel. SS is for morgues and not kitchens! But my favorite is still black stainless. It's classy, elegant and beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video!!! Saved me money and frustration!
thanks for this!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Which brand do you recommend?
Thank you, for this. The reason I have never gotten stainless steel is because of the fingerprints make me nuts when I see them on other people's appliances. Scratches will make me nuts, too.
Black stainless steel doesn't show fingerprints like regular stainless it also requires less cleaning.
Everything gets old and needs to be replaced.
Thanks ✌️🇨🇦
Watching this video after my dishwasher peeled horribly from black stainless steel. Do not buy LG!
Awful clickbait video title but good info.
Thank you for the feedback about the title! Glad you found the video helpful
Black stainless is amazing lol I love it 4 years in
what brand?
You got a new subscriber
Just got a dent & scratch wtf🤬🤬 (samsung is the devil)
Don’t buy cheap appliances
I see these reasons are stupid. A adult should be not starching anything.
Tyler is a cutie.
