Textured Vs. Smooth Black Appliances
Glossy black appliances tend to show fingerprints and food smears. They even show dust, which may be of particular concern in dry, dusty climates. Careless cleaning can create scratches that are also very visible on smooth, shiny surfaces. Families with small children or teenagers may prefer a textured surface that masks fingerprints and grime, though matte finishes also hide evidence of heavy use fairly well.
