Are you into really, really shiny appliances? Love the chrome-married-with-wood-grain trend? Then this "Silver Art" line from Krups may be just what you're looking for.
We haven't seen this new line of appliances in person, so we're judging them solely on aesthetics here (not functionality). But from the photos we've seen, they look like little countertop stunners. There's a toaster, an espresso machine, a juicer and a kettle. They're all sleek and chrome-ified, with elements of natural wood worked into their design.
Very snazzy, and perhaps just the kind of ultra-shiny, ultra-sleek countertop accessory your kitchen needs.

The trouble with shiny objects is that you have to keep them shiny. Every fingerprint and every speck of dust is an enemy. That makes them a lifestyle involving lots of elbow grease to ward off the finger grease.

ooh boy. yes shiny, yes would clean fingerprints and specks of dust daily, will take for walks, feed and love. too bad i just bought a new toaster last week.

I recently bought the Krups Silver Art tea kettle and it looks beautiful! Works really well and I'm very happy with it. My new favorite kitchen addition.
That is true that you must keep always maintain and keep the appliances clean in order for them to look shiny BUT it is worth it! I always loved the stainless steal look and I am especially fond of the Krups brand. They are easy to clean and even though they may be a bit expensive, they are a good product. Another great thing about owning a Krups product is that there are places that specialize in making krups parts so you don't have to buy a new appliance.
