ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA today launched an exclusive line of premium kitchen appliances featuring LG's new "Matte Black Stainless Steel" finish, combining the timeless sophistication of stainless steel with a luxe, low-gloss finish that complements any kitchen decor. Bringing understated elegance to traditional, modern and country kitchens alike, the new low-gloss finish blends beautifully with other matte finishes and provides a dramatic contrast to gloss surfaces in the kitchen.

LG’s new “Matte Black Stainless Steel” finish combines the timeless sophistication of stainless steel with a luxe, low-gloss finish that complements any kitchen decor.

The new LG Matte Black line builds on the success of the popular black stainless steel finish pioneered by LG, and offers more options for today's design-focused consumer who has a keen eye for superior design, performance and connectivity.

"When it comes to the kitchen, it's all in the finish, and LG again is pushing the boundaries of innovation in design and technology with our new Matte Black kitchen appliances," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing for LG Electronics USA. "Not only will this finish turn heads, but LG's new line also comes packed with advanced features and smart functionality – not to mention the reliability that American consumers expect from LG – to make consumers quite literally the masters of their own kitchen."

Looks Smart and Acts It, Too
The LG Matte Black Stainless series offers cutting-edge design that also delivers advanced functionality with features like LG PrintProof™ – a fingerprint- and smudge-resistant finish that easily wipes clean with a soft, dry cloth without the need for special cleaners or constant attention.

The series is the newest addition to the company's industry-leading offering of nearly 100 smart appliances featuring LG SmartThinQ™ technology. Through the touch a button on the LG SmartThinQ app for Android and iOS devices or via simple voice commands using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, consumers can enjoy the benefits of smart controls – whether it's preheating the oven while stuck in traffic to get dinner ready on time, or asking the refrigerator to make more ice before a dinner party.

Innovation and Design Consumers Trust
Plus, LG home appliances are consistently recognized as the industry leader in innovation, reliability and customer satisfaction. In fact, LG holds the number one spot in the coveted American Customer Satisfaction Index®*, marking its third consecutive year leading in reliability, features and performance. In the comprehensive 2017 J.D. Power Kitchen and Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Studies**, "LG has received more J.D. Power awards for Kitchen & Laundry Appliances than any other manufacturer."
