New Appliances for 2008
This year will bring a lot of exciting changes to the consumer appliance world. Refrigerators, Dishwashers and Laundry will be updated. This is in addition to the new US appliance brand Electrolux. Electrolux USA will offer a full line of kitchen and laundry appliances. This post will be updated with new or updated information as it becomes available. Here are some of the new appliance models for 2008:
Bosch Dishwasher - Minor change in lineup. Addition of a new entry level dishwasher priced under $500 in white or black. Most Bosch features are included in this model (i.e. Aquastop, Flow through water heater, etc.) The main difference will be the tub. Stainless sides and top with a poly bottom. Available Early Summer (SHE4AM Ascenta)
Samsung Refrigeration - New 29 cubic foot bottom mount refrigerator. This box will fit in the same space as a 26 cubic size refrigerator. Samsung is using a new design and new high-tech insulation. No word yet on price or styles, but I expect to see side-by-sides and bottom mount ice and water options this spring. Price guess in stainless $2999 (Model: RFG297AA).
Whirlpool/KitchenAid Refrigeration: Having been caught off guard by Samsung and GE this year, expect a lot of new competive priced refrigeration this year. The Maytag H20 will no longer cut it. (Models: GI5FVAXV and GI5FSAXV)
Laundry in General: Expect a lot of steam. Samsung (WF448AA $1498) and Electrolux (EWFLW65H $1498) will be introducing 4.0 cubic feet steam laundry this spring. You will also see a 4.5 sized washer from those brands as well. The Whirlpool Duet will have a new addition also… the WFW9500 will be a lower priced model of the WFW9600. It will also come in a new color… Toasted Chestnut.
Still working a few good leads… will update. New Drawered Dishwasher, New Dishwasher Players (Samsung at Lowes now), more induction cooking… etc. Stay Tuned
