Overview: GE Black Slate

GE is one of the most innovative appliance manufacturers. They introduced slate several years ago throughout their lineup and the color has been very popular because it is unique in the marketplace - you can read more about it in our article on slate vs stainless steel appliances. Stainless steel has been the big trend for over a decade with every manufacturer offering virtually the same finish. GE, like other brands, has offered stainless steel but has been a trailblazer in offering slate. Now that the trend is heading toward black stainless steel, they have decided to pioneer black slate and other interesting new finishes.

GE's black slate is different and unique. It fits in with the trend away from traditional stainless steel toward black stainless steel but offers something unique. GE has been producing slate appliances for the past few years and is the only manufacturer offering this color.

Black slate is GE's answer to the black stainless trend (in addition to making their own black stainless steel appliances, too). It is...

• A deep charcoal color

• Matte finish

• Fingerprint resistant

• A baked painted finish, making it more durable than most black stainless steel finishes
