Upgrade Your Kitchen with New Appliances

One of your kitchen’s heavy hitters, the refrigerator, needs to work around the clock to keep your groceries fresh. If your old model isn’t cutting it anymore because it’s not holding a steady temperature, it’s lacking in storage or it’s just out of style – it may be time for an upgrade.

Choose between a side-by-side refrigerator or a French-door style. A side-by-side is great for smaller kitchens since you don’t need as much room to fully open the doors. The tall, narrow freezer area lets you easily organize your frozen foods, preventing things from getting lost or forgotten about in the back. The wide doors on a French door refrigerator make storing bulky items like pizza boxes and party platters easy.

Available in white, black and always classic stainless steel, opt for a finish that matches your design and your lifestyle. If you have small children or are too busy to deal with daily smudges, a fingerprint-resistance stainless steel finish will keep your kitchen looking spotless with minimal effort.

Your oven is something you use daily, so deciding on the right one shouldn’t be taken lightly. Consider how much you cook and for how many people can help guide you in the right direction. If you’re someone who regularly entertains or has a big family, a double oven will transform your kitchen into an efficient workhorse.

Upgrade your cooktop to one with a reversible grill and griddle that allows you to boil, fry, grill and sear all in the same place. You’ll be able to cook an entire meal quicker and more efficiently than ever.

Love the crunch of fried foods but not the grease? Look for an oven with an air fry setting. Circulating hot air will give your favorite foods like French fries, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders that delicious crunch without all the oil. It can also be used to add a crunch to vegetables and proteins like salmon and steak. Nothing is off-limits.

When the cooking is done and the food has been eaten, let the dishwasher help you with clean up. Select a model with a heated dry feature so you won’t have to dry the dishes before putting them away.

Choose between a fingerprint resistant stainless steel, black or white dishwasher that will blend seamlessly with the rest of your kitchen and appliances. It’s just as important to pay attention to what’s on the inside like a stainless-steel interior tub that naturally resists mold, mildew, and odors. Or Dual Power Filtration that allows you to spend less time soaking and pre-washing dishes. A model with a leak detect system will automatically drain the tub and alert you of a leak before major damage is done.

A microwave is essential for a busy household. Being able to quickly reheat food without heating up the stove saves you time and money on your electric bill. Choose an over-the-range model that’ll fit seamlessly with your cabinets for a high-end built-in look without the high-end cost.

A microwave may seem like a straightforward purchase, but the features can make each model vastly different. One of the main things to pay attention to is the wattage because that will tell you how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the quicker your food will cook. Think of 1000 watts as top of the line and go from there.

Look for things like a fingerprint resistant finish, which means there’s less to clean, or a charcoal odor filter to keep lingering food smells away. A stainless steel interior will resist splatter and provide long-lasting durability.
