That is good to hear Grace. As my current fridge is 31 years old and appears will never quit on its own, with the upcoming kitchen reno I've splurged on appliances almost as much as the cabinetry. I was originally planning for JA SS but the appliance store guys talk about the cleaning, dinging & scratch issues of SS in general and their wildly enthusiastic endorsement of the BFG for easy care & spectacular looks swung my vote. The only reservation I've had is that my cabinets will be dark brown stain and have pondered that they wouldn't look all that great together. Finished kitchen photos with dark cabinets certainly have more 'pop' with the SS. On the other hand the FG reflects back what is around it so the light floor & counter tops will hopefully add some of the lightness back in to the mix. I wonder why they are so rare in the marketplace? Have they just not caught on yet? I don't know how long JA have been marketing the FG collection. Will it take being used extensively in the kitchen magazines & TV shows for them to become mainstream? Or, as my mind wanders the labyrinth of appliance choices, may they like the Edsel car disappear from the appliance landscape for being so different.

Wow, I am doing exactly the same thing--mixing JA white floating glass fridge with other SS appliances. I too fell in love with the floating glass surface and wanted to make it work in our kitchen without compromise function and reliability. I also had the same concern as sewwhatsnew, posted the similar question in this forum, got positive encouragements from wonderful people in this forum, and all the appliances are arriving next week! Two things I did were 1) I chose GE Monogram oven and Advantium (both in SS), both of which have matching handle with JA fridge and 2) I chose white as my cabinet color so that the fridge will look more integrated in the cabinets. The amazing kitchen in the previous post's link happens to do the same thing. Good luck!

I kept hearing, more than 5 years ago, that the next new "Trend" or whatever you would like to call it, would be "Copper Appliances"--it looks likethey are getting closer with the "Oiled Bronze" now. We would have gone with copper appliances for the ones that aren't panelled (DW & Fridge) had they been available, not cause they "Might have been the coming trend" but we just like copper. All our Switch plates are copper, as is our faucett and the light above the sink---Anyway,We will be anxious to see them. I don't know if you saw the thread about the "Floating Glass Jenn-air Appliances, and the problems the user was having, I suspect Your's are Jenn-air's Latest? Couple ways to protect yourself here. First buy from a dealer you know and Trust, and try to get a committment that "They Will Stand Behind Them"--Maybe they offer Service Contracts?---If not, See if you can get one Directly from Jenn-air, I don't , like some others here, recommend Service Contracts, but after seeing that thread, and a few other complaints about their appliances(Excluding Their Fridges which still seem to get positive Reviews)It might save you some Hassles later??? We do have the 48" Built in Jenn-air Fridge, & Love it, Trouble Free for over 4 years now, but that was before Jenn-air was bought by Maytag--which was subsequently bought by Whirlpool. I would also do some Googling for the Model Numbers you are interested in, see what kind of luck other folks have had. Good Luck with your new choices!! Gary

I've had the JennAire floating black glass sxs refrig and wall oven for about a month now and absolutely love it. I'd heard that stainless was a big pain to keep clean so I thought I'd limit stainless in my kitchen. I have a stainless dw and it is a pain. My advantium is mostly stainless with black accents. Cooktop is mostly black with stainless accents. A quick wipe with windex on the refrig and oven is all it takes. However, when the sun hits the glass in the afternoon you can see dust-oops. Overall I am very happy with the floating black glass. It looks sleek and modern and clean 95% of the time. Good luck with your choices!
