we love the look. I don't think the stainless is that difficult to keep shiny. There are a lot of products out there that are easy to use and the results are great. But I like multi-taskers for cleaning, so I use Pledge, sprayed on a micro-fiber cloth - it's quick and the shine is amazing, plus it just seems to stay clean longer than if I used the "made-for-stainless" cleaners. Plan on eventually replacing the appliances (when we finally get there) with stainless. Just my thoughts, for what they're worth
