When and if you replace your refrigerator with SS, you can kiss your
refrigerator magnets goodbye. SS appliances don't hold magnets.
Things the sales reps don't tell you...

Range hood- get one with filters that can be put in the dishwasher.
Mine, which I haven't installed yet, also has a teflon plate behind
the filters for easy cleaning.

Range hood noise is measured in "sones." Look for a quiet range hood
if your place is small. Air flow is measured in cfm, look for faster.
