✅ It is easy to find. Stainless steel is one of the most popular appliance styles on the market.
✅ Stainless steel matches with everything. The only caveat comes with buying a black stainless steel dishwasher, where various brands have different finishes.

Stainless Steel Dishwashers: Features to Look For
Along with researching the interior features of your dishwasher, you may want to confirm that your stainless steel appliance will meet your needs. Two of the most important features to look for are scratch resistance and fingerprint resistance. This exterior technology will keep your dishwasher looking its best. Other cleaning technology, like an anti-microbial exterior, will make it easy for you to maintain a sanitary kitchen.
Another thing to look out for if you are interested in a black stainless steel dishwasher, is that it matches your other units. Every brand has a unique black stainless steel finish, which means your appliance can clash. This is different than buying standard stainless steel models, which almost always match across brands.
