Taking a Look at GE's New Slate Appliances
Slate: A new color from GE that's not quite Stainless Steel GE has launched a new appliance color, Slate, that quite literally takes the shine off stainless steel. It's worth a look. The muted grey finish really goes well with a variety of cabinet as well as countertop finishes. GE says that it not only looks good in a matched suite, but also works well in a kitchen with Stainless or other color appliances. The shiny brushed metal touch points (knobs, handles, etc.) provide a bit of contrast and also help bridge the slate color to tie together with stainless or other brushed finishes in a kitchen. Unlike Stainless Steel, the Slate finish resists fingerprints and is easy to keep clean. The subdued slate color is both unique and sophisticated. Offsetting a flat finish with bright polished accents gives the appliance an eye-appealing, streamlined look. The Slate Collection from GE includes a Freestanding French-Door Refrigerator, a choice of Ranges in both Electric and Gas, Over the Range Microwave, and Dishwashers. See selected slate products and features below: GE® ENERGY STAR® 28.6 Cu. Ft. French-Door Ice & Water Refrigerator GFE29HMDES Slate finish Express your unique style and harmonize your kitchen space with this sophisticated, rich and amazingly versatile matte metallic finish Dual icemaker An icemaker in both compartments gives you more ice whenever you need it TwinChill™ evaporators Separate climates in the fresh food and freezer sections help maintain temperature and humidity levels to keep foods fresh Advanced filtration system GE’s -

New Appliance Colors - Are they for you?
Is Stainless Steel on the way out? Whirlpool and GE have recently launched new appliance colors in an effort to unseat stainless steel as America's favorite appliance finish. Even Wolf has begun production of its ovens in black in order to provide an alternative to stainless steel. The Wall Street Journal recently ran a feature article, Is this the end of a 25 year run for stainless steel?In the article, author Ellen Byron writes, "It is a pivotal moment in kitchen design: While stainless steel is still the dominant look, there are clear signals it has outworn its welcome, even with no clear successor in place." It isn't every day that the big names such as GE and Whirlpool launch new colors. It's a serious effort to at least put a dent in the hegemony of stainless steel. Launching new finishes is a costly proposition. Especially considering that unlike washer/dryer colors, kitchen appliances must be matched across a wide variety of platforms, eg. refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, cooktops, and even vent hoods. Whirlpool has launched its new "Ice Collection" of appliances a glossy black finish with stainless trim and a similar glossy white finish. "White is the new stainless" Whirlpool claims in their press release. However, there is hardly unanimity among competitors. Wolf claims, "Black is the new stainless steel" in announcing its new line of black wall ovens. Not to be outdone, GE has introduced a new line of appliances in -

They have become increasingly popular in recent years.History of French Door refrigerators Some industry veterans may recall the short-lived appearance of a French Door model refrigerator from Whirlpool back in the '80s. It did not take with consumers, and was soon dropped.The Amana brand is well-known for its refrigeration and has been a leader in bottom freezer refrigerators for many years. In the late '90s Amana launched the first successful French Door refrigerators. Amana was acquired by Maytag in 2000, and shortly thereafter Maytag's premier Jenn-Air brand introduced a counter-depth French Door model which was a big hit.
