Make your appliances the talk of your next party with these six finds that are sure to spark conversation. The newest wave of kitchen and laundry gadgets add functionality and fun to mundane chores. Whether you want to add style or simply upgrade your kitchen or freshen your clothes, these appliances are the cutting edge of modern convenience.
Upgrade from one oven to two—without losing space—or add a cooktop that will create grill-top flavor in the middle of winter. Save dollars by indulging in a fabric freshener instead of another trip to the dry cleaner. Incorporate any of these new tools into your home and you will be the buzz.
1. Keep your freezer clean and organized with GE’s French Freezer Drawers (starting at $2,860). In addition to the sleek design, the drawer duo features inside compartments to keep frozen foods neat and tidy.
2. When hosting Thanksgiving or a large dinner party, GE’s Double Oven Range (starting at $1,949) will come in handy. This new model allows for different dishes to cook at two different temperatures at the same time. With 6.6 cubic feet of total space, this range is sure to hold the largest of turkeys.
3. A new era of refrigeration is upon us. Fisher & Paykel have invented the CoolDrawer ($2,200) that allows some versatility in the fridge family. The drawer fits under counters and has five specific temperature settings to maintain the nutrients, minerals and vitamins in your food. In addition, it is a great snack drawer for the family.
4. Open up your counter space by placing the microwave underneath, thanks to Jenn-Air’s Under Counter Microwave Oven with Drawer Design ($1,199). With a touch of a button the drawer automatically opens and closes and auto sensors help with cooking and reheating.
5. When grilling season has come to an end, you still can enjoy the flavor indoors with Jenn-Air’s Modular Electric Cooktop ($1,144). The grill features two open bays for interchangeable grills, cartridges and accessories to design the perfect indoor grill station for the winter.
6. No longer will you need to make weekly trips to the dry cleaner if you have Whirlpool’s Fabric Freshener ($219). This dry cleaning unit is a home cleaning solution as it relaxes wrinkles, dries delicates and removes odors in an eco-friendly manner. As an added bonus, it is easy to store and transportable for those on the go.
