When should you choose a single brand of appliances for your kitchen vs picking and choosing each kitchen appliance separately? 1. It may be a good idea to have the same brand for style reasons. You can get matching handles. Digital displays have the same graphics. The overall look of the appliances complement each other. 2. Buying a single appliance brand can enhance the value of your kitchen. If you have an upgraded brand, the brand image will be consistent for all appliances. 3. Appliance manufacturers often have promotions that encourage you to buy multiple items of a single brand. For example, some manufacturers have been offering a free dishwasher with the purchase of a cooktop and wall oven, or a selected range. In some cases, these offers can save you thousands of dollars on a complete kitchen. There are three examples listed below of offers now available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. The Jenn-Air and Thermador offers are package deals. You make a purchase to qualify for a free appliance. However, the Viking Appliance discounts are for each individual item.

Tired of a sea of stainless in your kitchen? Add a pop of color. If you're remodeling or just looking to spruce up your kitchen, here are some ideas from the color trend experts. The designer of this Jenn-Air display followed one of the color trend predictions from kitchens.com and added an orange backsplash. This wall of burgundy lacks the brightness of the orange, favoring a hue with a rich depth and warmness. Another option would be to choose appliances in colors. Amazingly, appliances from some manufacturers are still available in white and black. Viking manufactures appliances in a host of colors. Jenn-Air makes appliances in oiled bronze.

...and it's not all bad. There is no question that over the last 15 years, European appliance manufacturers have had a great influence over the appliance industry in the US. Just looking at dishwashers for example, we can see a huge influence from Europe. In many parts of Europe, centuries old homes and neighborhoods, did not have plumbing and sewer systems capable of handling the disposal of large flows of soil laden water produced by U.S. style dishwashers. Instead, European dishwasher brands were designed to use far less water than American brands. In addition, they lacked the built-in food disposers of U.S. brands, and had built-in filters that required manual cleaning. For related reasons, European dishwashers used hotter water, far less detergent, and had much smaller, quieter motors. During the same time that European dishwashers were introduced here, U.S. energy laws began to kick in requiring that appliances use less and less water and energy. The end result of this all is that many of the dishwasher design principles of European dishwashers have been incorporated and adapted in U.S. brands so that all of the major appliance manufacturers have dishwashers that use less water, consume less energy, and run quieter than a dishwasher made ten or more years ago.
