GE Appliances is back in the small electric appliances game. In 1904, GE introduced the first full line of countertop cooking appliances, and a year later it introduced the original electric toaster. By mid-twentieth century, GE practically owned the toaster oven category.

In 1984, GE left the countertop electrics arena to concentrate on major appliances like ranges and refrigerators. Recently, recognizing that people are spending more time in the kitchen than ever, the company decided to build on its legacy and launch a whole new line of countertop appliances.

GE Appliances has come a long way on its toasters, the first of which it introduced in 1905.

The introductions include a total of 24 new products, including the toasters and toaster ovens for which GE was originally known, as well as blenders, food processors, and an innovative nugget ice maker that we recently tested. They’ll be sold under the GE, GE Profile, and Café brands. And based on a quick review, the GE newbies appear to be solidly mainstream products.

Encased in stainless steel and equipped with large handles, the new GE products sport many of the of the features you’ve come to expect on your appliances. A few special features include a bagel button on the toaster and strength control on the coffee maker. The coffee maker and toaster ovens also have digital controls.

More upscale in design, the Café products come in a choice of brushed stainless steel, matte white, and matte black with copper accents to coordinate with Café major appliances. You’ll find the Café products have additional sophisticated features such as Specialty Coffee Association certification and WiFi capability on the coffee maker, plus a one-minute cycle on the toaster.

GE claims its engineering team has worked to make sure its small appliances give top notch performance. As the new items are rolled out, we’ll test to see just how well they perform as well as how easy they are to use.
