2. Wine cooler
As consumers perceive more and more gourmet culture, there has been a corresponding increase in wine sales, which means great potential for the sale of wine storage facilities in the kitchen and home. Thus, when planning your kitchen space and, if there is room, a wine cooler or cabinet is a must-have kitchen appliance to integrate into your design. Customers who value wine will want a high-end wine cabinet that is an air conditioner that protects the wine from heat, light, vibration and humidity. But for the rest of us who just want our wine to be chilled, a mid-range wine chiller will do the job.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a wine storage solution.
- A temperature below room temperature is required, but not too cold.
- Temperature constancy is important.
- Light is the enemy of wine.
- Humidity is important, but not required.
- The less vibration the better.

Induction hobs / hobs are becoming more sophisticated, some boasting multiple zones and the ability to connect two zones to increase the cooking area. With built-in timers, auto on, off and power-up features, induction hobs / hobs provide a sleek, easy-care, easy-to-use cooking option and one of the best kitchen appliances to incorporate into your design.
Expect to find the following on all built-in cooking zones:

- Super fast burners for bringing water to a boil and for frying food in a wok.
4. Food preservation
As consumers become more and more focused on healthy eating, there is a desire to keep food fresh longer. This means that kitchen appliance manufacturers have had to make kitchen appliances that are much more complicated when it comes to food preservation. Appliances are now available with improved temperature and humidity controls, cooling zones for certain types of food, LED lights to reproduce natural sunlight and air purification systems!
Here’s what to consider when choosing a quality refrigerator:
- Choose: side-by-side, bottom or top freezer models.

- Check the dimensions.
- Choose a finish.
- Noise factor.
5. Silent Washing Appliances

Here are a few important things to consider before buying a washing machine;
- Dimensions (edit)
- Drum capacity.
- Features.
- Spin speed
- Energy rating.
