We are thinking about getting a stainless steel refrigerator: Kenmore
model 75503.

PL&pid675503000

Can't tell from the online info  if it is smooth or textured. How
likely is this refrigerator to pick up scratches? Two careful adults,
no kids. If this refrig will be a worry re scratches, we will go with
white. Thx. T-L

Scratching may or may not be a problem.  Every couple I know (yes, even
those without kids) bitch about how hard it is to keep the SS surface
clean.  Even with textured surfaces.  YMMV.

Some stainless steels are ferromagnetic and some are not. It depends.

A "stainless" steel that is ferromagnetic will be of lower quality.  There
are many grades of stainless from unk to outstanding.  The lesser grades
will rust, but rust should be an issue for a kitchen appliance.
