Suggestion:

1 Design the kitchen so that the refrigerator, sink and stove can be placed in a work triangle measuring 4 feet to 9 feet on each side. This cuts down on steps between major appliances while keeping the work area clear.

2 Install the dishwasher next to the sink for easy rinsing and loading. Place under-the-counter wine coolers at the ends of counters or in islands. Place trash compactors conveniently for food preparation and after-meal cleanup under the counter, equidistant from the sink and eating area.

3 Place wall ovens in an area free of obstructions but near a counter where hot dishes can be put down as they come out of the oven.

4 Install an over-the-stove microwave/hood fan combination. Put frequently used small appliances in the areas they’re most commonly used. For instance, if your family frequently cooks breakfast and makes toast, put the toaster near the stove.

5 Put lesser-used small appliances in cupboards where they can be easily reached when needed so they don’t take up counter space. via

Before you buy Small Kitchen Appliances

Reese — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:50:36 +0000

Before you buy Small Kitchen Appliances:

Determine your cooking needs and wants – both current and future. Is your family growing or growing up and moving out? Are you interested in increasing your culinary endeavors? Are you wishing to simplify and reduce time in the kitchen?

Evaluate your kitchen counter space. Where are you going to put all those neat new appliances?

Check the height of the appliance compared to the height of your cabinets. Some appliances that mount under the cabinet are available.

Decide what color appliance you prefer.

Determine the appliance capacity needed. The number of speeds and settings on an appliance usually increases with the size of the machine. Those who have large families or like to entertain may choose to buy larger appliances.

Decide whether you want corded or cordless appliances. It’s a choice in many cases. Corded models offer constant power; cordless gives you portability.

Read the package before you buy to see if the appliance does everything that you want it to.

Some useful tips from About.com

Refrigerator Buying tips

Choosing Refrigerator Features

The best feature is Frost-Free operation and do not assume that every refrigerator today is frost-free but confirm before purchasing. Here are other available features:

Humidity and Temperature Controls
Energy Star qualified for best energy savings
Ice maker and dispenser
In-door Water & Ice Dispenser
Reversible door
Adjustable shelving to accommodate high items or slide-outs to assist in retrieving food
At least 2 but preferably 3 drawers/crispers
Glass shelving to contain spills
Removable door bins
Deli or meat keeper
Enclosed back coils
Quick cool compartment
Freezer shelving
Freezer interior light
Gallon Jug Bin
Butter Keeper

When Considering Refrigerator Features

A base model refrigerator generally has 1-2 drawers, wire shelving, non-adjustable shelves/bins and may only have a partial shelf in the freezer. Although a base model will provide sufficient refrigeration needs, features are really nice to have but greatly influence the price. If you would seldom use a Through-the-Door Water & Ice Dispenser, why pay more for this feature? On the other hand, it could encourage your family to drink water more often, but this feature will influence the price and require plumbing hook-up. Replacing with a taller model may require custom re-building or removing overhead cabinets.

Dishwasher Buying Tips

Energy Saving Considerations
Energy conservation is in! A dishwasher that proudly displays the Energy Star symbol will save you energy dollars compared to non-qualified models. Some dishwashers even have low water features or ‘quick wash’ options which will benefit you if you are paying for measured water use. Another energy saver is a ‘delay start’ which is great if your electricity usage is calculated for off peak and on peak pricing – you set it to wash later when energy is cheaper.
Energy Saving Tips
What is Energy Star?
Garborator or Hard Food Disposal Feature
This is certainly a priority feature if you do not like to scrape, pre-wash or rinse your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Installed right in the unit, you wouldn’t even know it’s there. If unsure if this feature is included, don’t hesitate to ask the dealer.
Washing Cycles
The most important dishwashing cycles are Light, Regular, Pots & Pans and Econo settings. The econo cycle will air dry dishes saving on heating element energy costs. Additional enhanced cycles are Glass or Stemware, Rinse, Quick Wash and Sani Wash, which all add to convenience benefits. A stainless steel interior is a beautiful feature but will not improve washing performance – it is mainly a style option. However, a stainless steel washing arm will not rust and will be more durable.
Performance Features
Performance is influenced by the number of washing levels – how and where the jets of water are distributed during the washing cycle. A three tier system will provide a good washing and more levels will ensure even better coverage, but price will be influenced. A ‘quiet’ package is also a good feature. Detergent and rinse agent dispensers are usually standard features. Electronic sensors are definitely nice to have features. A child safety lock is important if you have small children.
Stacking & Racking Features
Standard dishwashers usually have two racks for dishes but some models now have three expanding on loading options and capacity. Special features can also include adjustable shelves, racks built to accommodate tall glasses or stemware, odd shaped and tall items, or convertible racks for multi uses. A small closed rack for baby bottles and rings is also available on some models.
Cutlery or Flatware Trays
The position of the silverware tray is usually a matter of preference, and is generally not influenced by washing performance. I tend to prefer a compact tray that sits on the bottom rack, and that easily removes for loading and unloading cutlery. Others prefer a model that is attached to the inside of the dishwasher door which may take less room.

Mobile Kitchen Cart Buying Tips

A mobile kitchen cart can increase your counter space, provide additional storage, and can also be used as a serving table. Most department stores carry a range of styles and sizes. Prices can range from $100 to over $1,000, so planning is a must. Before you run out and look for one of these, here are some things you may want to consider:
Location
Consider where you are going to use it. Measure this ‘parking area’, and take a tape measure with you to the store. This is crucial; a cart can look very small in a large store, but once home, it may not fit where you intended.
Storage Needs
Consider how the storage areas are designed. What best suits your needs? Will you use the wine rack, or would an open shelf be more useful? Do you need drawers, or a place for utensils? Some have open storage, while some are closed. Take time in the store, to open storage areas to see if adequate.
Wheels – Mobility
Wheels are very important. Are they sufficient? Do they swivel? Will they mark your floors? Are they adequate for the load. Take time to take the unit for a ‘test run’ in the store; you want to ensure it will move easily.
Design, Style & Quality
Stainless steel or butcher block, what kind of top do you prefer? Will you be chopping food on it, or using the top for added counter space or for serving? Choose style and finish to suit your décor. And last, look at the quality of the product; do the doors shut properly, and drawers slide easily? Are there any warranties on this product?

Now, you can be sure that this unit is perfect for you!

RainBow Appliance, Your Appliance Superstore

RainBow Appliance, This was a great site with great prices. I found things much cheaper at this site than any others and even found an online coupon that lowered my price even more. I could not reccomend this site more as far as ordering ease and pricing. I was very happy with both the information given for the products and the specifications given as well. I was linked to the site by a price-comparing web site and this place had the best price for what I was looking for. I got an email very quickly from them confirming my order and also showed me how to get more off with surveys. I was in the market for a large TV and they had a good selection and a good price for what I was looking for. Their shipping was very reasonable and did not go up that much when multiple items are to be shipped. I could not be more happy with the overall experience at this site. I would suggest them for any major electronic purchase. The capper was that the TV stand that I got with the TV was cheaper here by more than $100 than any other site I went to. A+ experience.
