There is a lot of browsing and decision making that comes with choosing a new kitchen appliance. Browsing though so many models reveals an often overwhelming number of options, but this is why it is important to take your time when making your selections.
Several things are worth considering when purchasing a new appliance for your custom kitchen. First, make sure it fits in the space and flows with the rest of your interior. Next, look for quality and longevity. The model you choose should be well engineered and include a reliable warranty.
It is also important to think about your future when purchasing a new appliance. You do not want to purchase an appliance that is going to be outdated in two years. Are you planning to sell your home in the future? Your appliances could boost or reduce the value of your home, so make sure you are purchasing something that is going to be on-trend for years to come. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is a great reference to turn to when exploring your options.
Beyond this basic advice, it’s time to look a little further and determine what makes a great appliance. Here are some things to consider.
Time-Saving Products
If you are like many homeowners, you love the idea of an appliance that saves time. It helps you to prepare meals without spending hours in the kitchen, and this makes it possible to enjoy dinner with your family. One appliance that has become popular over the years is the induction cooktop, and the market share for this appliance has doubled within six years. The AHAM believes it doubled because of the accurate temperature control and shorter cook time.
Products Offering Convenience
According to sales trends, homeowners are looking for more than just products that save time. If you fall into this category, you may be looking for an appliance that requires little effort to use. One example is a bottom-mount refrigerator, which has become very popular with other homeowners. The design allows you to find items such as vegetables or milk without bending over for several minutes at a time.
Status of Stainless Steel
Are you looking for an appliance that has maintained its status over the years? You may want to invest in a stainless steel appliance. There are many homeowners who order dishwashers and bottom-mount refrigerators with a stainless steel finish. Stainless steel is not popular only because of its attractive appearance or durable finish. The status symbol itself is enough to make homeowners purchase this finish for their kitchen.
Remember, you can order your stainless steel appliance in a hue that matches your kitchen. If you need help selecting the right hue for any appliance, take a sample of your wall or cabinet color to an appliance showroom. You can also work with your kitchen designer or general contractor to select a hue that works with your space.
