Show attendees are invited to visit the Spectrum Brands booth (#L11315, Lakeside) to experience the latest additions to the Company’s portfolio of brands.
The latest innovation in the GEORGE FOREMAN line, the new GEORGE FOREMAN Smokeless Grill Series will be introduced. First to launch within its Smokeless Grill Series are the brand’s open grate grills which come in two convenient sizes – 90” and 172” with approximate retail values of $59.99 and $79.99, respectively. Featuring open grate technology, the Smokeless Grill brings the outdoor grilling experience indoors with up to 80% less smoke when compared to previous George Foreman models*. The grill is made with George Tough™ Coating for added durability and dishwasher safe parts for easy cleanup.
Following its U.S. debut in 2018, the RUSSELL HOBBS brand will make its second appearance at the Show and introduce its Coventry™ Series of small kitchen appliances. With smooth and modern lines, the soon-to-market collection will feature an 8-cup** coffee maker, a 1.7L electric kettle, and two and four slice toasters. The Coventry series is an extension of the brand’s current design-minded Retro Style and Glass Series appliances, which will also be on display during the show.
An assortment of innovative BLACK+DECKER products will also be on display including a special edition of the iconic Classic Steam Iron to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The special edition iron features a retro look and feel but offers all the comforts of modern technology like an easy to use temperature and variable steam selector dial and heavy-duty aluminum soleplate.
In addition, the newest iteration of the BLACK+DECKER 12-cup** Programmable Coffee Maker which features Vortex Technology Water Flow to evenly saturate coffee grounds for rich extraction and maximum flavor will be showcased.
