Black vs stainless steel
Comments (10)We're just coming to SS,... the DW was first and we just got the frige in last week. I must say it adds another dimension to our kitchen which is a welcome. The only thing that concerns me is the warping on the SS doors,... looks like a Fun House Mirror. I'm thinking it's not a characteristic of SS because I haven't noticed this on other SS friges,... just mine! I like the black though, especially the few black glass appliances I've seen. I will say this,... it took almost an hour to clean all the prints and smudges off after the delivery. Hope that's not a preview of what's to come!...See MoreBosch black vs stainless cooktop - easy to clean? goes w/stainless?
Comments (5)I want a gas cooktop (not induction), so the black would be a bit larger with the grates than a flat induction top. Here is a photo from Bosch of the gas cooktop with an oven below it. The photo has a black stainless steel oven - my question is what would it look like as a regular stainless steel oven. (I realize that the colors of the cabinets, countertop, and backsplash would influence how well it would go together - these details are not yet determined.) @User - thank you for the photo - even though induction tops are smooth, it is useful. I like the installation in the Bosch picture (below) with the countertop dividing the cooktop and oven (instead of a wider wood panel. @cefi - thank you for the photo. Yours and Suzanne's both suggest that the black glass oven door would resonate with the black cooktop, to make create some resonance (I think??). @Shannon_WI - I don't have space for 36". I realize that a wall oven under the counter is low, but this one (Bosch photo) seems a little hither than most. I did find out the Bosch cooktop is porcelain, so it would be much easier to clean than stainless steel cooktops (or range tops). All the gas ranges and cooktops seem to be stainless steel - yes, they look nice - but there are many comments about how hard they are to clean, and they scratch, which is why I am hoping for a porcelain top under the burners. If I can't make it work with Bosch (cooktop and oven), then KitchenAid would be the other option (slide-in range) as it is stainless with a porcelain top, but everything else would be Bosch....See MoreUsing a black stainless range hood with stainless steel appliances
Comments (14)Thank you for all your opinions. @Patricia. As it turns out, we are doing a Bosch dishwasher and a samsung microwave, but the refrigerator, range and hood are GE Profile. After much scouring of the internet I actually found the exact application I was looking to do with the GE range I'm looking at with a hood from a different brand.
