A Stainless Steel Fridge That Works with Magnets

21 March 2006

Stainless steel appliances are sleek and–when you see them in people’s kitchens–oddly uncluttered. It’s less because those homeowners are neat freaks and more because magnets won’t stick to the grade of stainless steel that’s used on refrigerators and other kitchen appliances. For many people that’s fine, but if you consider the fridge the perfect place to post photos, notes, and your kids’ latest report cards, then you might miss those magnets. The Satina collection of refrigerators from Whirlpool offers a solution with a stainless steel “look” that is magnet-friendly and (bonus points) resists fingerprints better than actual stainless steel. The company promises it looks so much like the real thing that you can line it up next to your real stainless steel oven and dishwasher, and no one will know the difference.
