Curto's Appliances – Kitchen Appliance Package Kings!

Had to do a post on this piece…while 2008-2009 proved to be tough shakes for appliance manufacturers, you can bet that the folks at GE Appliances are dancing a mad jig about the GE Cafe 30″ gas range – CGS980SEMSS. This gas range has proven to be an absolute rock star. GE actually couldn’t have timed the introduction any better – just as the economy was starting to slow up, here comes a cooking range which gives off a pro look, sports some pro features, but comes in THOUSANDS of dollars lower than other pro cooking appliances by brands I won’t name here. Look at the features:

- Self cleaning oven

- 18K BTU power burner and a 150F degree simmer burner

- PreciseAir convection system means accurately baked foods in a gas oven.

- Super-large capacity in the oven

- Warming drawer offers an addition 1.0 cu ft for baking 140 – 450 degrees.

The world of kitchen appliances may be bruised and battered, but there are a few pieces out there that have risen above the fray and prospered. Count the CGS980SEMSS as one of them.

Thermador appliances is taking steps to make sure they are not solely viewed as a cooking appliance company. Over the last few years they have introduced wave after wave of new products, and now they are touting their new line of dishwashers. They’ve released three new ones, dubbed Quartz, Emerald and Sapphire armed with the ability to

So now we shift to the important stuff. Like what is the price of this Thermador dishwasher? Which appliance stores offer discount prices on it?
Well, Thermador products are under a UMRP price policy, so every dealer should be quoting around the same price (yeah, okaaaayy).
As of November 11th, prices are:

Thermador DWHD651GFP Sapphire dishwasher – $1999
Thermador DWHD630GCM Emerald dishwasher – $1299
Thermador DWHD410GFM Quartz dishwasher – $949

Electrolux has finally rolled out their new french door counter depth refrigerators without the ice and water on the outside of the door.
What Electrolux did with this fridge was create a clean, stainless look on the outside, and then they moved the control panel to the side of the door(which is pretty unique, as most appliance refrigerator companies will host the control panel in the upper portion of the refrigerator). The models sport all of the features found in the original line of Electroluc french door fridges that were released earlier this year:
- luxury-designed glass shelves
- air and water filters
- ice maker
- LED lighting
- Star-K certification
- Perfect Temp drawer in some models

The biggest advantage of the new Electrolux refrigerators is that without the ice and water in the door, Electrolux was able to move the ice machine out of the main refrigerator area. This in effect has freed up a tremendous amount of space in the fresh food compartment.
The refrigerators have literally just rolled out the door here at Curto’s so it’s early in the game to report on how they are performing in the homes, but customer’s have been very happy with the styling and other appointments. As the refrigerators gain more time in people’s homes, we’ll follow up with a performance report.

All models are available in stainless, black or white and available at Curtos.com:
