Best smudge-proof stainless steel?
Comments (5)theanimila, I really do like it. It's water only through the door, no ice, which is why it doesn't take up much room. The icemaker is inside the freezer drawer. My old Whirlpool fridge had the same cu ft, but for some reason this counter-depth fridge seems to hold so much more, maybe because it's wider and nothing gets lost in the back?...See MoreCleaning Stainless Steel Appliances
Comments (33)Put me in the Pledge "corner". Amazing tip I got on Houzz and finally tried it on my Samsung bottom freezer french door fridge, Bosch dishwasher, KA stove and microwave. I'm into it over a week now and fingerprints are truly under control. Any smudge can be swiftly swiped away with a microfiber cloth. I spray the Pledge on a microfiber cloth, apply to the appliance, and then buff it shiny and clear with an additional microfiber cloth. So easy. I especially like this, in comparison to stainless steel cleaners. They work, but do nothing to "knock back" fingerprints. BTW: I have chrome pulls, door handles etc. Pledge works on them, as well, without leaving any greasy feel. BONUS: My appliances have custom cabinetry (stained) surrounds. If a bit of Pledge "bleeds over" onto the wood, no big deal, no worry about damage to the finish. NOTE: I used Lemon Pledge. Worked great, smells even better....See MoreHow do you feel about smudge proof vs. regular stainless steel applian
Comments (12)I purchased a whirlpool refrigerator/freezer on bottom with smudgeproof coating. coating started peeling around the handles where they screwed in. Icemaker started leaking, water froze up under the large drawer above freezer. This caused the coating to peel on the bottom of the freezer drawer and it rusted. I called the store where i purchased it, naturally my warranty was up. The lady in appliances stated they don’t have anything to do with the appliances, they just sell them. She told me why don’t i paint it! i said what!!! couldn’t believe she said that. I had two service men come out. First one defrosted the ice under the drawer and defrosted line behind icemaker. Said should be fine. After he left, i called left message said it wasn’t working. Didn’t hear back. Called another company, he defrosted it with dryer, said it needed a part, part would cost $100 and he had to order it and it would take a week to get it. Came back, put part in said it should be fine. Next morning, icemaker still not working, leaking allover the floor. Call whirlpool, several places no help. Looked up litigations against whirlpool, could’t believe how many there were. Had a list of model numbers that they listed that would qualify. Naturally, mine wasn’t list. Left an email and extensive not with serial/model numbers, got answer back stated couldn’t help me because my number wasn’t listed. Well icemaker still not working and leaking. Spent over $400?on two servicemen. Not wasting anymore money. I will never purchase another whirlpool product, pardon my french this sucks!!!!!🥺😜...See MoreSmudge Proof
