Editors’ Picks: 10 Favorite Kitchen Appliances from Appliances Connection

When you’re renovating your home, one of the most expensive non-structural updates you can make is your appliances. But it’s worth it: Investing in high-quality appliances translates into a luxe experience for cooking and cleaning. Plus, installing upgraded appliances in the kitchen can actually increase your home’s resale value. 

That’s why we’ve partnered with Appliances Connection, a one-stop shop for appliances throughout the home, with an extraordinary variety of top brands. And there’s no better time to shop for home appliances, thanks to Appliances Connection’s Memorial Day sale with prices up to 50 percent off to kick off summer.

Check out our editors’ picks for the best appliances across a range of categories, from ranges themselves to refrigerators.

Induction Ranges

Ilve Majestic II Series 40-Inch Freestanding Electric Induction Range

While this range might have a vintage silhouette, it’s all electric. The freestanding range includes an induction cooktop with six elements, two convection ovens, and a warming drawer—all controlled by an easy-to-use touchscreen panel.

Bosch 800 Series 30-Inch Slide-in Electric Induction Range 

If you have limited space in your kitchen, our pick is this slide-in induction range, which has four cooktop elements, a self-cleaning convection oven, and a warming drawer. We love the sleek, modern look as well as the three element sizes that can handle a variety of cookware.

Refrigerators

Samsung Bespoke Series 36-Inch Smart French Door Refrigerator

This chic refrigerator is highly customizable—you can pick the color of each door and drawer panel (sold separately) to create the best look for your kitchen. But it’s also customizable in terms of use, too, with a Flex Zone drawer that can either refrigerate or freeze.

If you’re looking to expand your collection of Samsung appliances beyond a refrigerator, look into buying a discounted bundle—this four-piece Bespoke set includes a refrigerator, a range, a microwave, and a dishwasher.

LG Studio 42-Inch Smart Side-by-Side Refrigerator

For those interested in side-by-side doors rather than a freezer drawer, this spacious refrigerator is our top pick. It has a capacity of 25.6 cubic feet, and its interior shelves and drawers are customizable. We’re also fans of its extra-tall ice and water dispenser, which can even fit a pitcher.

LG Studio appliances can also be bundled into package deals for deep savings, such as this four-piece set from the Memorial Day sale that includes a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher.

Cooktops

Bosch 800 Series 30-Inch Electric Smoothtop Style Cooktop

Don’t need a full range? Opt for this electric cooktop. It has four elements, a ceramic bridge for oblong pans, and a warming zone. Safety features include ChildLock and a two-level heat indicator that alerts you to whether or not the cooktop is warm or hot.

Viking 5 Series 36-Inch Liquid Propane Cooktop

This is an ultra-powerful propane cooktop, with six elements under continuous grates. Combined, those elements have the highest BTU rating in the industry, making this cooktop ideal for high-temperature cooking. (Scroll down for our note, though, on gas-powered cooktops.)

Dishwashers

GE Profile 24-Inch Smart Dishwasher

This dishwasher provides one of the most thorough cleans out there. It has a variety of special jets to tackle all shapes and sizes, a hard food disposer so you don’t need to rinse your plates, and a Dry Boost feature that dries up to three times better than heated dry cycles. If you’d like to activate the smart features, such as controlling your unit remotely, you’ll need to add a Wi-Fi adapter, sold separately.

Complement this dishwasher with a three-piece bundle of GE Profile appliances from the Memorial Day sale; you’ll save on the overall cost of a refrigerator, range, and microwave.

Viking 24-Inch Built-In Dishwasher

Customize your wash cycle with this advanced dishwasher, which is one of the quietest on the market thanks to three layers of insulation. It has eight cycle options to clean everything from fine china to heavily soiled pots and pans. 

Gas Ranges

If you’re considering a gas range, we’d love to introduce you to the world of induction ranges, which are better for both your personal health and the health of the environment. Read more about the matter in Remodeling 101: Farewell to the Gas Range, Welcome to the World of Induction Cooking. But if you’re wedded to a gas range, two picks:

Café Customizable Professional Collection Series 36-Inch Smart Freestanding All-Gas Range

For serious home cooks, this is a prime gas range option. Beyond its six burners and spacious 6.2 cubic-foot self-cleaning convection oven, the range has bonus features like precision oven modes, Wi-Fi capabilities that allow you to control the oven via app, and a precision temperature probe.

If you love Café appliances, you can even score a deal on a package of four appliances from the Memorial Day sale, including a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. 

Forte 48-Inch Freestanding All-Gas Range

Planning on cooking up a feast? This is a massive gas range with eight burners, double convection ovens with an impressive 22,000 BTU, and a 10,000 BTU broiler. You can switch between natural gas and liquid propane as your energy source.

If a 48-inch range won’t fit in your kitchen, this four-piece Forte bundle from the Memorial Day sale includes a 36-inch range, as well as a refrigerator, dishwasher, and range hood.

Be sure to check out Appliances Connection’s Memorial Day sale to take advantage of savings on home appliances.
