Our Favorite Black Stainless Steel Kitchen Appliances
If your home’s current appearance is one that embodies a modern or contemporary design, chances are, you’ll want all your décor, furniture, and even appliances, to correlate with the rest of your home’s visual theme. When it comes to buying new home appliances, functionality doesn’t have to be the sole deciding factor. Every kitchen needs reliable appliances to prepare meals and keep food and beverages chilled, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for value.
Black stainless steel appliances offer many advantages for your home and can seamlessly be integrated with any current style of kitchen décor. If you’re on the hunt for new appliances with a sleek aesthetic, we’ve got you covered with some of the best black stainless steel appliances that are extremely reliable and will be competing to become the focal point of your home’s arrangement.
Benefits of Black Stainless Steel Appliances
Featured as an exterior finish on luxury vehicles, home décor, and so much more, black stainless steel is now practically everywhere we look. And now, home appliances are also learning to embrace the dark side. Darker kitchen appliance finishes like black stainless steel hit the market quite some time ago, but they’ve continued to gain popularity within the last five years. Minimalist and modern, yet sophisticated enough to grab attention, black stainless steel appliances are ideal for giving your kitchen a stylish upgrade.
This bold finish offers a high-contrast option to the forever-popular white-on-white kitchen aesthetic. Along with providing a fresh look to your home space, here are several benefits that come with owning black stainless steel appliances:
Warm Up Your Kitchen
Too many white appliances can sometimes make a kitchen quickly feel cold and commercial. We invite you to avoid the cookie cutter look in favor of a sleek black finish to establish a warmer feel that's exceptionally suitable for cozy cooking spaces.
Easy to Clean
Regular stainless steel is drop-dead gorgeous; there’s no denying that. However, its shiny surface, unfortunately, hides nothing. Smudges, sauce splatters, fingerprints, and sticky smears are all possible culprits that will certainly leave their mark. On the other hand, most black stainless steel finishes better resist these kinds of blemishes, which means fewer weekly wipe-downs.
Unlike their stainless-steel cousins, black stainless steel doesn’t require any type of special polish to keep them looking good as new. Simply wipe down your black surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth and warm, soapy water to keep them looking pristine as ever.
Timeless Appeal
Kitchen appliances can be a hefty investment. You definitely don’t want to break the bank on a design or style that’s going to be outdated in a year or two. With a neutral and timeless appeal that’s still trendy, black stainless steel is a finish that won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

Black Stainless Steel Appliance FAQs
To help wrap up our guide on black stainless steel appliances, we’ve answered a couple of frequently asked questions about this elegant finish to help you find the perfect units for your home.
Q: Does black stainless steel scratch easily?
A: The black stainless steel surface is often created with a colored acrylic coating across regular stainless steel so if you do incur a deep scratch, it will likely be more noticeable.
Q: What do you clean black stainless with?
A: We always recommend you consult the Use and Care Guide for your particular appliance. They often say the best way to clean your black stainless steel appliances is simply with warm water and a soft rag or microfiber cloth. Be careful using abrasive cleaners like window sprays, scouring cleansers, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, or bleaches because it can not only harm the surface but potentially void your product’s warranty.
