We recently bought a GE CleanSteel dishwasher. The major difference is, you get the look of SS, but it won't leave fingerprints and has the ability to hold magnets. Cleanup is a breeze. I just wipe down with a damp cloth then dry with a lint-free micro cloth. Here is a link that might be useful: short description of CleanSteel

We want the stainless look, but not the smudges - have little kids. GE sells a "clean steel" finish that looks like stainless (less reflective) and claims to be much less prone to smudging? Anyone tried the clean steel and have opinions?

"Clean steel" is a lower grade magnetic stainless that is then clear coated. The clear coat can be scratched off, and the stainless underneath can rust, especially if exposed to harsh cleaners. Actual stainless can also scratch, but as the metal itself is teh final finish, it can be buffed out if you really want to take the time and trouble. In appearance, the clean steel is more matte and a slightly yellower color than real stainless. Clean steel fridges also come with black sides and handles versus grey sides and stainless handles for the real stainless. That's the BIG appearance difference and sways most people to the real stainless.

This is the model we ordered, but haven't had it delivered yet. After looking at all the choices out there, this one seemed to suit our needs the best, but I can't speak to actual usage as yet. Delivery is 10/2. I think the clean steel will blend with stainless fairly well, it doesn't shine quite like stainless, but it has the silver metallic appearance - just duller. If you are wanting matchy matchy, it may not be the one for you as far as pairing it up with real SS.
