We're starting to update our kitchen, since it's over 20 years old.
We're going to start with a new electric stove and dishwasher. Lowes is
having a big sale this weekend. I'm going to install the stove, but I'm
not comfortable doing the dishwasher.
The in thing now is stainless steel. Please look in your crystal ball.
How long is SS going to be in style?
More importantly, any recommendations or warnings about which appliances
we should or should not buy?

Stainless Steel has always been in style - in commercial kitchens - How
much longer commercial style kitchens will be in style in residences is
a good question, however since SS is prety neutral, and similar to
chrome has been in style in residences for a long time, I'd say that SS
appliances should be fine for another 20 years. Indeed with neutral
appliances like SS you can redo counters and cabinets and completely
change the look of a kitchen while keeping those same appliances.

Installing a stainless steel dishwasher is no different than
installing any dishwasher. Turn off the water and electricity before
removing the old one. It is usually held in pace by two screws on the
top front facing up into the bottom of the counter top. remove these
two screws and the dishwasher should be movable. Undo the electric
and the water supply and drain and slide the old unit out, slide the
new unit in and reconnect the lectric and water and drain, raise/lower
the new unit until it fits up against the countertop with the same
altitude as the ole unit. Put the two screws into the bottom of the
countertop and turn the water and electric on, check for leaks and
enjoy. The front kickplate is the first thing to remove and the last
thing to replace.

Stick to white. Always possible to get that colour new or used. Also
easier to shop around for a good price if everything white.
