Sexy Kitchen Appliances

Yes, I said it…sexy kitchen appliances! They’ve changed so much recently that I just had to spread the word. There are new colors, new finishes, new functionality, and new technology just to mention a few. Recently Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery hosted an event where they displayed models of these sexy appliances and I could not believe my eyes.

Sophisticated Appliances

Café has expanded so that your choices are no longer limited to color but now you can choose different hardware as well as different functionality. Their built-in wall ovens come with features like French doors that open with one hand so that you can hold your dish with the other hand. Want to change it up? Well, you can change the color of your hardware to anything from a more basic matte black, matte white or stainless steel to brushed bronze, brushed black, brush copper, or brushed stainless. The endless options give their appliances a unique and custom look without the fuss of ordering custom. It comes with a price that’s more than your ordinary appliances, but the look is certainly priceless.

High Tech in the Kitchen

The latest in technologically savvy kitchen appliances are smart range hoods and refrigerators. You can use your range hood similar to the way you use a tablet. It comes with a recipe app that has thousands of receipts and an app to help control the smart devices in your home. If you like sharing your dishes, you can snap a picture of your meal and send it to someone. Want to know what’s left in the fridge? Just get yourself a smart refrigerator. It will help you see what’s inside as well as let you create a shopping list, play music, surf the internet or watch your favorite show. Talk about having everything at your fingertips. These appliances let you do it all.

Wine Station

Never mind uncorking your favorite wine. Instead, think about getting one of these neat Dacor wine stations in your kitchen and instantly have a fully loaded, readily accessible wine bar. Place your glass under the wine spout, push a button and voila, your glass is full, and you can get back to the party. And don’t worry about selection because you can store several of your favorites at once. Anyone who loves a good glass of wine, knows that this appliance is a great investment.

Anti-microbial

Look for appliances with finishes on touchable surfaces that are fingerprint resistant. A fingerprint-resistant or smudge-proof appliance is usually stainless steel or matte finish that has been treated with a sturdy coating to prevent grime and bacteria from getting into the natural porous surface of the metal. These durable finishes make cleanup a breeze with simple soap and water. They can be found in multiple finishes, including stainless and slate, to match your kitchen. Also incorporated into today’s healthy and clean lifestyle are dishwashers with high temp sanitizing settings that use steam to sanitize dishes. The cleaner the better, I always say.

Anyone Care for a Cup of Coffee?

Well…if you’re a coffee drinker this last one is my favorite. It’s a built-in coffee maker by Miele. Forget about going out to a coffee shop, this one will spoil you right in your own kitchen. Again, the babies come with a price tag that’s higher than a traditional coffee maker but if you savor your morning coffee they are worth the investment. Imagine waking up to the smell of your favorite coffee ground fresh and prepared one of several different ways like an espresso or a late or maybe even a cappuccino. At the push of a button, you’ll have it. Do your homework though. You want a brand that has a reputation for unique items like a built-in coffee machine. It’s going to get installed into your wall, so you want something quality.

That’s all that I’ve got for kitchen appliances this week. Look for more blogs by Sallie Elliott at omahaprioritygroup.com/blog.
