Saw an ad in the county newspaper about the new Maytag 'cast iron black' line. Will have to hop on over to the Maytag dealer and see what it looks like up close and personal.

Never been a fan of black appliances and this isn't changing my mind.

Looks like Maytag's answer to other manufacturers "Matte Black" finish.

grey and white

It will go well with the grey and white tone on tone palette that seems to be replacing the stainless steel fad. Not to my taste either. BRING BACK THE COLOR!

I like this new black, and I could imagine choosing it.

Well, I could imagine choosing it if I could first imagine buying a new appliance (and not just a new appliance, but a higher end appliance)! LOL

I have had mixed feelings about the standard black. I like it the best of recently used colors...but (in my limited experience) it's problematic for keeping clean. I'm guessing that a matte black might do better in this regard.

Black can look OK in large kitchens with a lot of light. 

 

I've seen several remodels of small kitchens and black appliances (especially refrigerators that are open on one side) just dominate the space.

The grille (if you can even call it one) at the bottom of that fridge looks clunky and ugly.  Very sloppy.  I'll pass.

Only those "retro-like" types appliances (really mere "wolves in sheeps' clothing") can offer those classic Pink, Yellow and Turquoise, and even Red, as well as Black, White and Gray, in that manner...

So, things like that making it to the mainstream brands really would mean more than merely, yet, another non-color really trying to turn on the public like this one...

Only just "Slate"...

A new color but no induction range in it. Old wine in new skins!

Luigi, it seems induction is relegated to only Jennaire and KitchenAid.

Those ranges are not even Self-Cleaning,

 

I would never spend A $1000.00 for a range I had to use Easy-Off in.

Whirlpool still has an induction range on it's site:

 

www.whirlpool.com/kitchen...">www.whirlpool.com/kitchen/cookin...

 

I saw the KA induction double oven, freestanding as well as the GE induction range. (often seen on clearance, once priced at $699)  The Mart didn't have this Samsung slide-in as I'd hoped.  

www.samsung.com/us/home-a...">www.samsung.com/us/home-applianc...

 

Next time I'm there, I'll look for the CI Black on the Maytag line.  This would make a good "appliance value package" since it's a new finish and has mid-line pricing.

Aqua-Lift self-cleaning: When are they going to abandon this worthless cleaning system? The worst idea since continuous-cleaning ovens.

Aqua-Lift SCing

combo52's profile picture

Hi Eugene, I would much rather have a CC oven than AL-SCing any day. 

 

CC electric ovens actually worked pretty well as long as you kept heavy duty aluminum foil on the floor of the oven to catch heavy spills, but you can't do that with silly hidden heating elements or gas ovens with out damaging the oven floor.

 

With CC you still had to clean the racks, oven window and light bulb by hand but there is no way I am going to clean an entire oven by hand.

To be fair, some people won't care about whether or not the ovens are self cleaning... So many people have impressive kitchens, and yet apparently never do anything more than microwaving a frozen dinner.

Continuous cleaning

mark_wpduet's profile picture
Good Lord, I forgot all about that. My grandma had a Kenmore continuous cleaning oven. All I remember is that the oven material was rough.....not smooth. And I think it did pretty well if I remember correctly.......

I've also read that using the self-cleaning feature on any modern oven shortens its life. How true that is, I don't know. But it kind of makes you wonder because of those super high temps.

Oh, I've never cared for black appliances. I've always ALWAYS had white with one exception. The GE portable dishwasher that you had to drag over to the sink was avocado.

Perfect choice if they ever decide to remodel the kitchen at 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
