Kitchen Appliances to Upgrade this Fall

If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen during fall, it may be the perfect time to take a look around and decide which kitchen appliances to upgrade.

Whether you love cooking pies or having friends over, a set of new appliance kitchens will ensure you enjoy spending time in the kitchen.

In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at several appliances to consider updating this fall.

Kitchen Appliances to Upgrade this Fall

If you’re like most, you probably know there is a wide variety of kitchen appliances available today. But how do you know which ones to replace and which to keep? There are several things to consider before you start shopping for replacements.

First, how old are your appliances? This will largely determine the dependability of the appliances and impact its performance over time. How often do you have to repair your old appliances? If it’s often, it may be because it’s at the point that it needs to be replaced.

Second, is the technology or equipment antiquated? Older appliances often lack the latest tech integrated in new appliances, which can impede their ability to provide certain features or functionality. For example, older dishwashers and refrigerators might not have the same type of energy-saving features that newer models have.

Here are three kitchen appliances to consider replacing this season.

Range

If you’re like most who love fall, you’ll need a professional range in your kitchen. These types of appliances come in two different options – a gas range or a dual fuel range.

Both of these will offer the power and functionality you need to bake or cook the meals you love most during this time of year.

With a new range in the kitchen, you can rest assured your range will perform with accuracy and dependability, whether you’re making a dish involving poultry, beef, fish, veggies, cookies, and pies.

Dual Fuel Ranges

Dual fuel ranges are available in the same sizes and include many of the same features.

The most important difference about dual fuel ranges is that they’re powered by both gas and electrical systems. This is often preferred by those who enjoy the benefits of baking with an electric oven.

Gas Ranges

Gas ranges come in a variety of sizes, including 30″, 36″, and 48″ dimensions. The larger sizes often include two ovens, which allows you to bake two dishes simultaneously.

In addition, larger sizes often include extra burners or a griddle section. This gives you more space and additional options.

The standard size gas range will fit most apartments and homes, but be sure to measure your space before making your purchase.

Dishwasher

Dishwashers can last for a long time, but they often lack the energy-saving features you find in new professional style dishwashers.

Next to the refrigerator, the dishwasher is one of the most used appliances in the kitchen. If you have an older dishwasher, you may be wasting a lot of water and energy.

Consider updating your old dishwasher to a new one. If you’re not sure where to start, consider these two top control dishwashers from Thor Kitchen.

The HDW2401BS 24″ Black Stainless Steel Dishwasher features a smart wash system, delay start, and the oh-so-beautiful black stainless steel homeowner’s love. If you’re looking for a standard stainless steel finish, consider the HDW2401SS 24″ Dishwasher in Stainless Steel. This model offers the same energy-efficient features and lighter finish, which is sure to brighten even the darkest kitchen.

Refrigerator

As mentioned, the refrigerator is the most popular appliance in the kitchen – and for good reason!

It protects and preserves your food, ensuring your ingredients are ready to go when you are. Replacing an old refrigerator may help reduce the cost of your electric bill and update your kitchen with a modern touch.

There are several types of professional style refrigerators available, including freestanding refrigerators and under-counter refrigerators.

Let’s take a closer look.

Freestanding Refrigerators

Freestanding refrigerators are the most common refrigerator available. These are available in a variety of different sizes, which is important to consider while shopping. In addition, you will want to consider the different styles available.

Some refrigerators feature different door configurations. For example, the French Door refrigerator features two equal-sized doors on top with a freezer drawer below. However, the 4 door French Door refrigerator (Thor Kitchen HRF3603F) features two equal freezer doors in the bottom section, reflecting the refrigerator section.

Undercounter Refrigerators

If you’re interested in a smaller refrigerator, you may be interested in upgrading to a professional undercounter refrigerator.

These feature a double drawer design, which is perfect for outdoor or indoor spaces where you need a refrigerator. Unlike older models, these offer a smart control panel where you can control the temperature.

Conclusion

Whether you’re interested in spending more time in the kitchen because you’re a master pie baker or you just want to be able to cook up family meals during the cooler seasons of the year, you’ll find everything you need here at Thor Kitchen.

Whether you decide it’s time to replace that old kitchen appliance or you’d like to make a change over to black stainless steel, doing so early this season will ensure you and your kitchen are prepared for some of the heavier-traffic times in the kitchen.
