Appliances in today's world come in a wide variety of styles and color. Appliances are always changing in characteristics and hues with the standards being white, black and stainless steel, but there is a new addition to this color line up; Black Stainless Steel.
LG Leading the Black Stainless Steel Trend
Black Stainless Steel may be the newest of the long line of color styles that have come and gone, but it appears to have the staying power to be added to the standard. Last year, LG was one of the first brands to come out with Black Stainless, causing everyone to pause and contemplate what is considered to be stylish in the 21 st century.
Black Stainless allows you to open the design choices in your kitchen decor, as it will go with practically any cabinet style. Since then we have seen the other brands following suite like Whirlpool, Maytag, GE and finally Frigidaire.
LG's Black Stainless Steel appliances started with only a French Door and Side by Side refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers, and has now grown to include top refrigerators, wall ovens, ranges hoods, and cooktops.
LG's Black Stainless consists of satin-smooth finish on stainless steel that is less prone to showing fingerprints than stainless steel. For example, one of the most popular and first refrigerators in LG's line up is the LMXS30776D; a door-in-door refrigerator.
Frigidaire's Entry
Entering into the new realm is Frigidaire, a brand that is no stranger to being different with the uniqueness of their "Smudge Proof" stainless steel appliances. So, there was no surprise to see them come out with the Black Stainless Steel appliance, which has a glossy finish to give a nice easy to clean surface.
They may be late arrivals, but they are no slacker in features. Frigidaire's line of appliances includes French door refrigerator, Top Freezer refrigerator, Wall oven, range, microwaves and dishwashers.
LG and Frigidaire both have some very nice black stainless steel units that would be an exceptional addition to your home and kitchen. LG appliances range from moderate to high end in pricing. Frigidaire is more budget friendly as it is more of an intro level appliance.
These two brands share some similar features, and unique ones as well. LG refrigerators have the ability to tell you that you need milk or are out of eggs. Frigidaire shares a customer favorite feature in LG, the dedicated drawer for your kid's snacks to be placed for your and their convenience.
Conclusion
Black Stainless Steel is working its way to becoming one of the standards of household appliances. It's bold, fingerprint and smudge proof finish are exceptional qualities that consumers love. And with more and more brands adding this style to their appliance lines, I believe it will be around for the long-haul.
