Doing 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.
The 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.
Angela Stewart says
Hurry up, Whirlpool! I need the Sunset Bronze appliances NOW! Doing a renovation which is incuding an all new kitchen suite…Thank you!
Tricia Carlucci says
I love them! I wanted them when we got new appliances a little while ago but they still aren’t out so we had to go with he slate…. still wish we could have gotten the sunset bronze!
SixtiesChic says
Of all the choices AVAILABLE now, I guess slate is the best. I have a GE slate fridge since 2014(though its REALLY a black fridge with slate doors and stainless steel handles). I’m saving my money and hoping by 5 years from now there will be more color choices for major appliances(I’m hoping GE,Whirlpool,Fridgidaire will have aqua,jade,yellow and red appliances by then). Only the rich can afford the colored appliances available now by Elmira stoveworks.
Lori says
I am so anxious for sunset bronze appliances to be released too. Hoping it’s very soon.
Patricia Lou Dutcher says
I too would really like to see this color added. By the responses I’m not the only one. Come on we need more choices than white, black, & stainless!
Sandra says
Just got off phone with Whirlpool and still no date for release. She acted like it could be another year or two. Wish some other company would jump on board with this colour.
Vickee harding says
Building soon, I NEED these. Btotallt obsessed. Please let me know where I can get them
Barb says
I love this colour but cant wait for it – we decided to go with GE Slate, its very sexy too.
Tammy Fanchier says
I am so ready for this beautiful color!!….Let’s go y’all!
Jennifer Daigle says
I called this week, and was told they would be out this spring – then one day later got an answer to the email I sent saying availability was not yet determined.???
Diane W. says
I too, have been waiting for a long time for these to come to fruition. I am remodeling and this color would look wonderful in my kitchen. I have always had whirlpool appliances, but if sunset bronze isn’t released soon, I may have to jump ship and opt for the GE slate! Please Whirlpool, get this color on the market!!!!
