Is the stainless steel cabinet and grates easy to clean? grease/fingerprint marks?

I bought this as a gift for my son and he said the stainless is a pain to keep clean. He suggested that if possible, buy one in a color. As far as the grates go, they do a lot of barbequed chicken so it's always a mess. But he does like the grill. Hope this helps. Leeann

The grates are easier to clean than cast iron grates. The never come bright and shiny like they were when purchased. However, the can be scrubbed with plastic mesh pads with tough chunks of something. They get clean but not metal shiny. It hard work to get them really clean.The stainless finish gets fingerprints and crud like a stainless refrigerator with fingerprints. Being outside, its gets more crud and doesn't clean up as well. Still looks better than cast iron.

It is relatively easy to clean. The "grey" surface you see in the picture is actually glass, so very easy to wipe off. In order to help keep it clean, I generally place a layer of plastic wrap over the top of it when weighing items without a plate or container, such as cheese. Most of the time I use a plate or bowl on top of the weighing surface, so the only cleaning required is for occasional spills.

it is fairly easy to clean - better than other graters we have had. I just use a bottle brush on the inside and have not had any problems.

It is not difficult to clean. It is not a nonstick surface but it is a very high grade stainless steel.

Going on two years with our sink and the scratches are minor. Not what I'd consider an issue. We really love the sink. We do use the grates in the bottom most of the time.

No just clean it good after you put it on or your fingerprints and grease marks will stain the metal. Never had any heat problems.

The main body of the toaster shows light fingerprints but they wipe off easily. But the vertical lever to lower the toast does show fingerprints. No biggy, really.

Yes, it is smooth with no marks from the handles.However, the metal (they say it's stainless steel) is of very poor quality and gets stained after a couple of times.

It's not hard at all to clean. I clean mine every time after I cook. I use a glass cleaner and paper towels. The same as you would clean your mirror. It's spotless. I clean the stainless weekly with with a stainless steel spray on cleaner, the same one that I use on my fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. It's not at all hard

Light to medium spills are easy to clean. Hard boil overs will take some elbow grease. It is real stainless.

It's fairly easy to clean; the metal tray with holes the garlic is press through swings out and it's easy to scrape the garlic off into a garbage can or sink. Still, I have to remember to do this right after pressing, otherwise the garlic can get a bit harder to peel off once it's a bit drier. Other than scraping off the garlic I just dishwash it. Had it for a year and so far it looks and works like new still.

I don't know- no marking to that effect- however, the stainless material seems to be quite thick and sturdy and denting and scratching has not been an issue despite normal amount of daily abuse. Definitely does not feel flimsy like some low-end metal appliances. Outer surface is nice brushed satin, inner surface is polished.

No, it's small, it's stainless, I coat the grate with olive oil before use and it helps with cleanup.

No, it is pretty easy to clean. I have had no issues with gunk in the corners and have loved the sink.

My experience is yes but not without elbow grease. And it eventually leaves a nice clean feel. Had to do my mom's in two passes and had to scour and in some spots use a razor blade. Finished with rest or a finish and these 50 year old walnut cabinets look beautiful. New hardware was enough to update them.

All the parts are pretty simple, so there are not many difficult crevices to get into and try to clean. That was one reason I chose this model and the stainless is way easier than the plastic.

Mine doesn't show fingerprints. It has a brushed metal look on the main body of the unit and stainless look on the top.
