Stainless Steel Kitchen Appliances Review

We just purchased a newly built house and had our choice of appliance colors.....white, black or stainless.  I really wanted almond, but guess that's not "in" anymore.  Anyway, we chose stainless and so far I am NOT impressed.

Yes, they look nice in our cherry cabinet/granite countertop kitchen, but they are a bear to keep clean!  We stayed at our new house a week last month to do some finish work and I couldn't believe how bad they looked at the end of the week.  And we have no little kids to leave fingerprints everywhere!  I can't imagine anyone with children having these as they would spend all their time cleaning them.

 I have read that the key is to NOT use stainless steel cleaner, but haven't found the proper formula yet.  I should have gotten the black ones...........
