Make that very soon.
But while some products are exciting, some are not.
Below are the trends you'll see soon online or in your local appliance store.
Chinese companies are already here and are
three of the top 10 global appliance manufacturers.
Hiaier owns GE, but their appliances are still mostly made in the US.
However smaller, innovative companies will be exported soon as well.
Fortile reincarnated,
the in-sink Dishwasher. Kitchen Aid had one for years before it discontinuing it.
For apartments, a sink in the dishwasher is a space saver and not a bad idea.
Roeberman features smart technology with a 3D burner and smart self stirring pot.
To be transparent, let's just say I'm not placing orders just yet.
Their ventilation was interesting as well.
I thought the product was unique,
but I want to test it in our service lab before you put it in your home.
I have mixed feelings about Italian companies, specifically their ranges.
You have a beautiful, somewhat inexpensive range, but lacking in output and features.
For example, you have only one or two powerful burners out of the eight on a 48
inch range without a grill or decent griddle.
The ovens are typically smaller
with about half the broiling power of a regular pro range.
Still, they're inexpensive and good
looking, yet devoid of any meaningful control or performance.
But before you invest in a kitchen full
of unknown brands, you should see, touch and feel.
You have more choices for Italian appliances than ever.
However, not all the choices may be what you want, so be careful.
You can truly design anything
for your outdoor kitchen. The Auras heater projected tons
of heat and was the only time it wasn't freezing during a recent trip.
It will extend your grilling season, especially in New England.
Blaze, Fire Magic and Twin Eagles all have interesting grills.
Fire Magic had a grill with a window.
I just wonder if you can see through all that smoke.
Outside griddles are now everywhere as well.
Griddles can cook anything.
Miele bought a grill company and now
produces an outside salamander in addition to their grill.
Salamanders are high output infrared burners designed to sear steaks quickly.
The exposed infrared is more versatile
than the infrared sear elements in the grills.
And if you like pizza, you're in luck.
You now have a number of companies offering outside pizza ovens.
And how about your own crocodile-skinned bar?
Perlick has one.
This fully stocked bar allows you to sauce up your party
before saucing up those ribs on a grill or your very own new pizza oven.
Remember when I said green is never as successful as a color?
Manufacturers evidently didn't get the memo.
Green is the hot new color.
True as new finishes using a new process so the refrigerator surface is shiny,
similar to a race car. Profile will have a new charcoal finish and of course, green.
BlueStar, of course, has a 1,000 finishes and ten trim packages.
They'll even customize a color for you
and yes, green is also available.
You now have plenty of choices for color in many brands.
The new Samsung
bespoke and LG Studio with their new color changing refrigerators.
You can change the color with an app on your phone, no installation required.
True has built-in 30 and 36
inch refrigerators with or without glass fronts.
And you can also now buy a 48 inch French door built in from SKS.
The new washers are the most interesting new appliances.
As you know, combo washers and dryers are
not my favorite appliances due to service repair.
The current models cannot effectively
remove lint, so it seizes the machine over time.
Whirlpool, LG, and Profile all have new combo units.
However Profile has a new design with their micro band antimicrobial
surfaces, auto dispenser, and large 4.8 capacity.
The dryer features a heat pump to store heat and dry more efficiently.
You can also place this unit on an inside
wall because it does not need to be vented.
Best of all, the profile has a nice, thick two-sided filter.
You can easily pull it out to remove the lint.
We'll be testing it soon.
Beko receives a special notation for sustainability.
The outer tub on the washers is made out
of reclaimed plastic bottles from the ocean.
Hopefully, other companies follow their lead.
