I like the stainless steel but the cooking top is black and it always looks streaked.  I do not like that.  So far, it works like my old harvest gold appliance that I hated to part with but the oven stopped working and I couldn't get parts because it was made in 1976.  Today all you get is a 1 year warranty unless you buy an extended policy.  That's another reason I hated to part with the old one along with my 1976 harvest gold frig.
