Stainless appliances in rentals?

[Adam Vadnais]

My fellow landlords who have chosen stainless appliances over white ones, how has that worked out. Have your tenants scratched up the finish and made it look trashy?

Also, what has been your experience with brands? Have any stood out to you as particularly better/worse for reliability?

I don't think the tenants will hurt stainless. Personally I hate the fingerprints. Its impossible to keep clean. They have nicer spotfree stainless but it doesn't sound like you want to spend much more. Black appliances can look sharp paired with a complementary paint.
