Appliances
When planning and designing your kitchen it is important to take into consideration which appliances you wish to install to complete the look of your kitchen, for example: oven, hob, fridge / freezer etc.

There are a vast range of appliances available on the market. You will find below a simple guide to selecting the right appliance for your kitchen.

Dishwashers
It is important when choosing a dishwasher, you should find out how many litres of water it uses during different cycles. Stainless steel models tend to enhance efficiency during drying cycles and can tolerate higher water temperatures.

Ovens
You need to decide whether you would like a gas or electric oven, this decision needs to be based on your cooking preferences. An important factor to consider when buying an oven is the type of cleaning process it uses, whether it be a:

  • Standard cleaning ovens requiring you to clean it yourself.
  • Self-cleaning ovens with programmable cleaning settings that use high temperatures to clean residue from the oven.
  • Continuous cleaning ovens that have special finishes that absorb or burn off splatters from the oven.

Washing Machines/Dryers
Before you go shopping, check the power service to the area where you plan to install your washer and dryer.

Refrigerators
You should aim to plan on purchasing 8-10 cubic feet of space for a family of two, then add an additional cubic foot of space for each family member.

Ventilation Hoods
The most important thing to consider when purchasing a new ventilation hood is its fan. There are two types of fans:

  • Axial, which allows air to flow parallel to the axis of rotation across the propeller and through the fan.
  • Centrifugalair which makes a 90-degree turn after it enters the fan wheel

You should try to find a hood that has a tempered glass light lens. They are more durable than the plastic lens. You should also consider buying one with a low sone number. A sone measures the amount of noise created by an air-moving appliance. The lower the sone number is, the quieter your rangehood.
