Whirlpool Sunset Bronze kitchen appliances: Would you?

pam kueber - Updated: August 18, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Sunset Bronze applianceDoing some research about appliances, we bumped into this story in Whirlpool’s press room: Seems like the company is considering introducing a new color, “Sunset Bronze.”

I’m kinda into this Sunset Bronze, because it’s like the drawer fronts in American Brand Pioneer kitchens married the metal dome of my vintage Imperialite pendant light and gave birth to a rosy love child. I’m not in the market for new appliances myself, but if I were working on a retro kitchen project, I might play around with a mood board that considered these. The are different. And they are warm.

Bronze applianceThe Whirlpool’s PR rep was very helpful in supplying images, but seemed to be towing the line on whether the company is even bringing these to market. I think the story is, Whirlpool showed off this color at some trade show to gauge interest, and now they need to decide. Officially, Whirlpool told us, “We received tremendous positive response to the introduction of Sunset Bronze and are looking forward to bringing it to market in the future. Although we do not have a hard launch date yet, please continue to check Whirlpool.com for updates.” Whether this color makes the cut or not, it is nice to see a major mainstream manufacturer considering mass market options other than stainless, black and white.

What do you think of this new color, readers?
Would you? Could you?

      My husband and I are in the beginning process of building a new home. I would love to be able to purchase the Sunset Bronze. Its about time a major retailer come up with another color besides the usuals. I believe people would embrace this color it’s warm and very attractive. We are decorating our home in southwestern decor with the cabinets we choose this color would be Perfect!

    I have only bought one new frige in my whole adult life. All my other kitchen appliances have been used. So when I ran across these 2 years ago, I set my dreams on them. I have only about $200 saved to hopefully put the 2 or 3 pieces in the lay-a-way when they come out. I’m a single mom of 2 girls. And this is the only thing I keep asking Santa for every year. Lol, come on whirlpool, you guys are toying with my feelings.

    What is Whirlpool waiting for? The public is tired of stainless steel and I am tired of waiting for Whirlpool.

    I have been watching and waiting for the release of these appliances for over 2 years right after they were presented at the appliance show. Absolutely love the Sunset Bronze color. These appliances will make the entire kitchen look beautiful, especially with caramel colored cabinets. I am starting construction on a new home in the next 6 mos. and really want these appliances. I hate stainless steel, but have no alternative. Please go forward with this idea!!!
