Buy Amana, Bosch and Britannia for sheer kitchen appliance eye candy
Published September 22, 2011Green is beautiful. But environmental credentials needn’t mean you’re saddled with a butt-ugly kitchen appliance. Today’s top manufacturers are biting the climate change bullet and creating a bunch of simply stunning appliances and accessories whose performance is as faultless as their looks. It’s about time too. So what’s in store for all you lucky people whose kitchens are on their last legs and overdue a re-design?
Amana make gloriously good looking fridge-freezers and their wine cooler model is a stunner. Because they’re available in a selection of lovely finishes and three styles, design heaven isn’t hard to achieve. They have also launched an incredibly stylish range cooker to complement their fab fridges. True to form it’s a beauty, with a choice dual fuel and hob configurations.
You’ll have heard of Bosch. Who hasn’t. They manufacture seriously efficient, rugged and good looking kitchen appliances that work like a dream. On a personal note we bought a Bosch cooker and hob last year and it’s an absolute joy to use as well as saving us a small fortune in electricity. Bosch are known for their dedication to product innovation, strict design ideals and solid design principles. Their product range is vast and their reputation is top notch as regards the environment. Bosch washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, ovens, hobs ‘n’ hoods are hot property.
Britannia cookers and built in appliances are desirable beasts too. Sleek and smooth, designed with looks in mind as well as impeccable green credentials, they manufacture smashing AA efficiency ovens with impressive quick start features that bring ovens to temperature in just 8 minutes. Because they’re cool to the touch they’re the last word in child safety. And you’ll love this… Britannia will create your cooker in any colour you like. Literally anything. All you do is send them a sample and they’ll match it, whether it’s your best T shirt, a tin of bright orange emulsion paint or a sheet of dreamy cornflower blue sugar paper.
Nobody says you have to stick with one appliance manufacturer for all your new bits. Pick and choose your favourites depending on the style, cost, size, dimensions and energy ratings. But leave your kitchen décor ‘til last. Unless you’re artistic it’s difficult to imagine what they’ll look like together until they’re fitted and fixed. Once they’re in you’ll be able to choose a colour scheme that’ll knock your socks off and showcase your appliance eye candy to its best effect.
