LAS VEGAS, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at the 2015 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), Frigidaire Professional® unveiled its latest suite of appliances. The updated collection focuses on what consumers are looking for: high quality tasting meals from professional, yet affordable appliances. 

The company, which was the first appliance maker to introduce stainless steel products with a professional look, continues to innovate on this. 

Style-wise, consumers want symmetrical lines, heavy-duty knobs and handles, easy-to-use straightforward control panels and appliances inspired by restaurant-style kitchens. The suite offers this as well as powerful features that deliver consistency, precision and freshness:

  • The new suite features standard size appliances, making it accessible to a wide variety of consumers who are interested in upgrading their kitchen without having to remodel.
  • The free-standing range offers even roasting and baking.  A 2-in-1 Griddle & Burner offers the versatility of simmering sauces and cooking meals.
  • The French Door Refrigerator offers organization, and preserves freshness and taste with an innovative PureAir® Ultra Filtration System.
  • The dishwasher has a 30-minute wash setting which gets a full load of dishes clean in a quarter of the time1, and features wash zones for hard-to-reach areas of bottles and delicate stemware.
  • The suite comes in Smudge-Proof™ Stainless Steel that resists fingerprints and cleans easily.

"This new suite meets an unmet need in the mass market," said John Weinstock, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the Frigidaire Professional brand.  "Consumers want a professional look in their kitchen.  Unlike most professional appliances, the new suite is compatible with standard-sized appliances so they fit into existing kitchens, eliminating the need to completely renovate the kitchen."
