Upgrading your kitchen appliances has many benefits. Purchasing a new refrigerator, dishwasher, or oven can not only improve your daily routine by delivering more functionality but enhance your home’s interior. Since you probably will use your new appliances daily, consider a few essential factors before you buy them.

What to Know Before Choosing Appliances

Measurements

A new appliance won’t help you if it doesn't fit where it should. Take careful measurements of the spaces between your cabinets before you order them to avoid a frustrating and potentially costly mistake. Be sure to leave an extra inch of space for your refrigerator so the coils receive proper airflow.

Exterior

Most homeowners prefer stainless steel because of its practicality and sleek appearance that will match any kitchen design. However, these appliances could have a higher price tag. Coordinating appliances in another shade can provide a cohesive look at a savings.

Ease of Use

A dishwasher will lighten your workload, but it will be more effective if you choose one that suits your needs. For instance, if you often wash mixing bowls or baking pans, look for a model that has ample space to accommodate large items.

Refrigerator Style

You have more options than ever when shopping for a refrigerator. The freezer could be on the top, bottom, or side. The refrigerated section could have one or two doors or even a drawer. The refrigerator you choose will come down to preference and budget.  

Placement

Before you commit to buying larger appliances, consider the expense of moving electrical, gas, or water lines. You might decide it’s not worth the added cost of the renovations and building and plumbing supplies.
