Kitchen Throw Down: White Ice Vs. Stainless Steel

 

White Ice Vs. Stainless Steel

July 31, 2012 by WYSK

If you watch almost any home buying, flipping or design show on HGTV, it’s no secret that having “stainless steel appliances (and granite countertops)” in a kitchen is considered paramount. This is painfully obvious thanks to show to show/episode to episode repetition of giddy exclamations from a wide cast of “real” characters over properties well equipped with appliances in the shiny metal finish or their collective gasps of deal breaking, horror when a kitchen is void of stainless steel (hint: you can buy new appliances people). Well, HGTV show participants be advised… Whirlpool, the world’s leading manufacturer of major home appliances, is attempting to dull the alluring luster of your beloved stainless steel with its new White Ice Collection.

The new collection’s sophisticated and stylish looking refrigerators, wall ovens, ranges, microwaves and dishwashers feature white, mirrored-glass and silver accents with clean lines and simplified controls for ease of use. Looks pretty slick. In regard to the white/silver combo, we certainly prefer it to a possible modern resurrection of the avocado colored appliances we grew up with in the 70′s.  Read More>

The New Whirlpool Ice Collection

From the little black dress to a crisp white tee, simplicity never goes out of style.  And who doesn’t want their home life to be a little more like that?  With the amount of time families spend gathered around the table, the kitchen deserves to be as beautiful and inspiring as the rest of your home.  The alluring finishes on the appliances of the Ice collection‘s refrigerators, wall ovens, ranges, microwaves, and dishwashers exude refined style.

The Little Black Dress of Kitchen Appliances

Just like that little black dress that works for any occasion, the White Ice Collection can work in any kitchen design.  The new handles on the appliances were created around how you use them, and provide an inviting experience as effortless as “open and close”.  Whirlpool appliances are architected around life, which makes them innately simple to use, and wonderfully pleasing to look at.

A streamlined interface makes controls easy to read and even easier to use.  Increased glass areas make keeping an eye on your cooking effortless.  The contemporary form flows into modern colors elegantly energized with metallic finishes and subtle textures.  Choose from shimmering Stainless, elegant White Ice, or the refined edge of Black Ice.

Ice Collection Appliances Have Brains Behind Their Beauty

Flex Power™ Burner:  A 17,000 BTU Flex Power™ burner generates high heat needed for rapid boiling and searing and provides uniform cooking at lower temperatures for your most delicate dishes.

TimeSavor™ Plus True Convection: Roast up to 30% faster with the TimeSavor™ Plus true convection cooking system versus a conventional oven with a 12-14 lb. turkey.   The rear fan and third heating element circulate hot air to seal in more flavor and juices.

Indoor Ice Plus Dispensing System: Get 30% more freezer space versus previous models.  And, the ice bucket tilts out or can be removed with one hand and placed on the counter.

Aqua Lift Self-Clean Technology: Now it takes minutes, not hours, to get a great clean that’s odor-free with AquaLift™ self-clean technology.  Using just a little water and a low-heat temperature, our most energy-efficient cleaning cycle is done in only 50 minutes, versus a traditional self clean cycle.

Sensor Cycle: The Sensor cycle automatically selects the right wash and dry settings for your load and cleans tough soils 35% better (compared to a previous wash system) while using just the right amount of time, energy and water.

PowerScour™ Option: Forty targeted spray jets scour away baked-on foods.  Twice the coverage cleans even your large pots and pans without soaking or scrubbing.

MicroEdge™ Spill Control Shelves:  Get the industry’s most shelf space on a single shelf among leading brands.  This exclusive innovation gives you 25% more usable shelf space, and cleaning is easier with microscopic etching that helps keep spills from spreading.

Don't know about the "White Ice" collection yet.  Thanks for the update.  I do like the brushed stainless affect that doesn't show fingerprints.  That is the big reason against smooth stainless is that all fingerprints and smudges show.
