Imagine your kitchen has absolutely no major appliances. It’s basically a blank canvas, ready for you to install completely new Bosch appliances of any design and with any finish you want.

So, what do you choose?

It’s not an easy decision to make. Stainless steel may be a timeless finish, but maybe you’re looking for black appliances that make a statement in your kitchen. Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong, but we’ve got the lowdown on all the different appliance finishes available to you. Take these finishes into consideration when in the market for a new suite of Bosch appliances.

Contemporary like stainless steel

If there’s one appliance finish that people love, it’s stainless steel. And how could you not? This appliance finish goes well with EVERYTHING. It has the power to make any old kitchen feel new and modern.

Most stainless steel appliances are fingerprint-resistant now as well, making these guys perfect for those curious kids who like to put their little fingers all over the place. If you’re looking for something that will play it safe in your kitchen, getting Bosch major appliances with a stainless steel finish is the way to go.

Black when you’re feeling bold

If you love drama, black or black stainless steel may be the next best colour for your Bosch appliances. It’s such an intense hue that when paired with any other colour (especially white), it makes quite the vivid contrast. If you are all about making a statement, this will definitely do the job!

You may want to stay away from this appliance finish if you have a smaller space. Having a lot of black in a small area can make your kitchen look tiny and crowded. Avoid this finish altogether if you want an open and bright kitchen.

White brings in the light

White appliances are classic and clean, making every minimalist shout for joy at the sight of them. While it seems like they may get dirty often due to their milky exterior, this is a small price to pay. It’s all worth it for the amount of brightness a white-appliance-filled kitchen can bring into your home. Not to mention, it has the ability to expand a small room, so it seems much larger than it actually is.

If your ideal kitchen has light coloured marble countertops with white cabinets, adding white appliances to the mix will really illuminate the entire room.

Who says you have to choose only one?

If you can’t make up your mind about which appliance finish you want, there’s nothing wrong with mixing and matching! Talk to an expert today to get more information on Bosch appliance finishes and which ones would look best in your home!

Considering a Samsung Convection Oven is a testament to the fact that new things can produce great results! Discover how replacing your traditional range or wall oven with a convection oven could give you a more evenly cooked meal.

How it Works

Convection ovens use a fan, unlike conventional ovens, which blows out hot air all over your food. Instead of having to turn your food throughout its cooking process, a Samsung Convection Oven would eradicate that step and evenly surround your food with the hot air. Fine Cooking explains it best by saying, “When cold air blows against you on a blustery winter day, you feel colder more quickly than you do on a windless day of the same temperature.”

Why It’s Better

From cooking faster to saving energy, Samsung Convection Ovens beat the traditional oven in a number of ways. If you’re someone who likes to cook a lot, having a convection oven should speed up the cooking time by 25 percent. Not to mention, conventional ovens tend to get humid, which isn’t exactly what you want. Having moisture float around can mess up certain foods which is why having a Samsung Convection Oven circulating the air helps diminish the moisture from hurting the food you’re about to enjoy. And because convection ovens usually cook food faster, you’ll be using yours far less than with a traditional oven.

In addition to offering you innovative features and outstanding good looks, Samsung appliances are also powerful when the time comes to put them to work. Find one at your local appliance retailer to start cooking those meals at lightning speed! You’ll never want to go back to the traditional way – not when everything you cook comes out evenly cooked while also saving you money!

Talk to a sales associate to learn more about Samsung’s Convection Ovens available in wall ovens and ranges, their specific features, and why you need one in your life!

Different can seem scary and intimidating. Although induction cooktops are a fairly unique and new style of cooktop, they should be anything but scary and intimidating. The norm may be electric and gas cooktops, but don’t let the fear of “different” steer you away from discovering the power and skill of a GE Profile induction cooktop! Educate yourself on how they work and you’ll be shopping for one at your local appliance store before this article is over!

Save Energy

One of the best things about induction cooktops is their ability to heat up pots and pans quickly while also saving a lot of energy.

The way induction cooktops work involves an electric current that circulates through a coiled wire underneath a glass cooktop. Amazing enough, the glass surface, sitting just above it, doesn’t get hot! Only when a metallic pot or pan made of ferrous metal (it attracts a magnet) touches the glass surface will the pot or pan get hot, but never the glass surface! Because induction cooktops work by only sending heat to the metallic object, no heat escapes into the air and is wasted.

Induction Technology, GE Profile Cooktop

Save Your Limbs

Say goodbye to burning your fingers and hands when you have a General Electric induction cooktop. Because the cooktop works to only heat up the pot or pan, if you happen to bump into a burner, you won’t feel a thing. Unfortunately, if you happen to touch the pot or pan, you’ll still get burnt.

Save Messes

One of the worst problems with a standard electric or gas cooktop is how easy it is to get them dirty. When you have food spills while cooking, there’s not much you can do to save the mess; the cooktop is too hot to wipe down. Luckily, induction styles don’t heat up the cooktop, allowing you time to move the pot or pan away from the burner and easily wipe up the mess without hurting yourself. The cleanup is so easy, it won’t be hard to keep an induction cooktop in pristine shape for quite some time!

When we think of innovative kitchen appliances, we think of GE Profile induction cooktops. This sort of technology may not be your traditional appliance, but it’s the way of the future!

Your fridge is probably the most important appliance in your home. It’s the hub of your kitchen, you use it every day, and having one that you can rely on can make or break your mealtime experience. Plus, a Whirlpool fridge is a big investment! So, shouldn’t you be doing all you can to keep it in tip-top shape?

If you’ve just bought a new Whirlpool fridge you love or are looking to add some mileage onto your reliable old refrigerator, there are some things you can do to maximize your time together and make your fridge more effective than ever. Try these five tips to prolong your refrigerator’s life and keep it working at its best.

1. Clean the Coils

The cooling coils are the beating heart that makes your Whirlpool refrigerator tick. They can usually be found either behind or underneath the unit — two places that collect a lot of dust, dirt, and pet dander. Those coils are what keeps your food cold and your fridge functioning the way it’s supposed to, but when they get buried in layers of gunk, their efficiency is going to take a nosedive. If the buildup gets bad enough, the coils could even burn out altogether! Every few months, be sure to vacuum out the coils and remove any stray debris to reduce that extra strain on your fridge.

2. Keep the Top Clear

It can be tempting to use the top of your refrigerator as an extra shelf for storing stray cereal boxes and other snacks for easy access, but resist that temptation! Your refrigerator releases excess heat through the top of the unit (which is why it’s always a bit warm to the touch). Placing things on top traps the heat in, forcing the motor to work harder to maintain optimal temperatures inside the unit. Over a long period of time, this can do serious damage to your Whirlpool refrigerator and the food you keep in it, so play it safe and keep the top clear.

3. Keep It Full

The best-kept secret of the refrigerator world is that fridges actually work much better when they’re full! It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s true — as the items in your fridge get cold, they help keep the temperature of the whole unit down, letting the refrigerator itself relax a little and delegate some of the work. Now that’s teamwork! So don’t be afraid to take a little extra time the next time you’re whipping up dinner. The more food you have in the fridge, the less strain on your refrigerator’s motor, keeping your Whirlpool fridge in better shape for longer.

4. Keep the Seals Well Maintained

The quickest way to a fridge full of spoiled food is a problem with the fridge seal that’s left unresolved for too long.

The seal (or gasket) along the inner edge of the fridge door is what keeps all the cold air in and the warm air out. Leaks or gaps in the seal can not only drop your refrigerator’s temperature low enough to allow bacteria
to start growing on your food, it also forces your fridge to work double-time trying to make up for the lost cold air.

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to detect a loose seal — just stick half a dollar bill into the door and shut it. If the bill easily slips out, the seal needs some fixing. Usually, giving the gaskets a thorough scrub with soapy water and a sponge will clean out any debris keeping it from sealing properly, but if the problem persists, give your local BrandSource dealer a call and we’ll make sure you get the expert help you need to fix it up good as new.

5. Clean and Defrost It Regularly

The best thing you can do to keep your Whirlpool fridge working its best is regular maintenance. Cleaning out loose debris, and giving the shelves a good soak and scrub will do wonders for keeping your fridge in good shape. Most modern fridges are pretty good at preventing frost or condensation buildup, but if foods are put into the fridge or freezer while they’re still hot or if liquids are stored uncovered, moisture can get into the system and gum up the works. Just to be safe, you’ll want to defrost everything once or twice a year and make sure the fridge gets some TLC every month or so.

Whether you’re looking forward to a long and happy life with a brand-new Whirlpool fridge or trying to put off a new fridge purchase for another year, these tips will help you get as much as possible out of your fridge for as long as possible.

But if you’ve tried all these tips and you’re still seeing your fridge’s efficiency go downhill, it might be time to invest in a new one. Start fresh with a Whirlpool fridge that has all the latest in self-defrosting, energy efficiency technology and keep it around for a long, long time by starting with these tips from day one. If you’re looking for a fridge that will last, look no further than your favourite local appliance store! Drop in or give us a call for all the info you need about the fridge of your dreams.
