SS means Stainless Steel. In layman's understanding they are “rust proof” but are more like :rust resistant”. These will rust in stagnant moisture / water environment. These are poor conductor of heat. You may find both magnetic and non magnetic variety in the market.

Stainless steel is the go-to option if you want your kitchen to look modern, sleek and trendy. There's a reason it's still the top choice of many kitchen designers. It's resistant to the bad stuff. Because of its elemental makeup, stainless steel is incredibly durable.

White appliances have maintained popularity in kitchen design due to their classic look and versatility across various styles, from modern to rustic. Their main advantage is their ability to brighten spaces, as they reflect light and enhance the sense of openness, making them ideal for smaller or dimly-lit kitchens.

Stainless steel appliances often last for years without showing many (or any) signs of wear and tear. For instance, you can expect a stainless steel refrigerator to last about 10 to 15 years. White appliances can potentially last as long as stainless steel, depending on their quality and how well they're maintained.
