What's the difference between Stainless and Clear steel?

2 refridgerator of similar model and same brand..one is stainless steel...the other is clear steel (cheaper)..so wat's the difference between the two?

Answer:

In okorder /... The appliances that are not made of stainless steel are made of a mild steel which is then finished with a durable enameled finish, in colors even. Stainless steel appliances look very nice in the showroom, but it is no fun trying to keep them fingerprint and handprint free. If you have ever owned a toaster that was made from stainless steel then you know how much fun it would be to have to keep a whole refrigerator fingerprint free, The oils transferred from the skin leave very distinct smears on stainless surfaces.
Stainless steel is different than regular (clear?) steel because is is an alloy, or combination, of steel and other elements. Stainles steel has 15% chromium, which is very resistant to rust than regular steel. That is why stainless is more expensive
