Leifheit – Always a Better Idea

Leifheit International USA  has more than 100 innovative new products rolling out in 2009.

Kitchen Tools + Accessories

Leifheit’s new 2009 Comfortline features 42 innovative products. Some are modern twists on kitchen basics; others, clever new kitchen gizmos. Each item in this gleaming white and stainless steel collection was engineered to be durable, functional – and as the product line name implies – comfortable. The secret: sturdy, non-slip, soft-to-the-touch ABS plastic coupled with soft red thermoplastic. Comfortline is also dishwasher safe. This collection contains just about everything the modern kitchen needs.

The 2009 Leifheit Proline contains 29 elegant kitchen utensils, each designed to meet the demands of serious culinary creativity. These contemporary designs are forged from stainless steel and neat black plastic heat interrupters that also allow handles to be hung on the rim of a pot.

Leifheit introduces several new Soehnle kitchen scales in 2009, all featuring breakthrough design and function. The Optica, a slim, stainless steel gem that measures both liquid and dry foods with an extra large display; the Olympia and the Olympia Plus each with a large read-out and a roomy weighing platform (the later containing its own bowl); and the super-flat, glass-topped, circular Flip scale with sensor touch technology. Also in the line-up: bold new colors and designer-savvy limited edition patterns for the Page scale.

Leifheit’s beloved family of insulated carafes has expanded to include bold new contours and trendy new colors. Resembling a hefty frosted pitcher is the new Bolero in back, white, dark blue and coffee. Along more slender lines is the new Tondo, available in a shiny blue, white and red. Deep cranberry, denim dark blue and translucent lime green join the rainbow of the plump and popular Columbus. All Leifheit vacuum carafes are made with high-quality materials and double-wall, glass-lined construction that keeps one liter (8 cups) of liquid hot or cold for 12 hours. Added benefit: Leifheit’s unique push-button feature allows opening, pouring, and closing with just one hand.

Cleaning Products + Stick Goods

The Power Delta Rechargeable Sweeper with a clever triangle-shaped design is the newest addition to Leifheit’s successful line of floor and carpet sweepers.
