Our Favorite Built-In Appliances
/Minimalist design and kitchens are becoming increasingly popular this year. Optimal counter space is becoming more and more important to homeowners, so built-in appliances have become the solution. From wall ovens, to microwave drawers, to panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers, this is the list of our favorite built-in appliances. Read on for more!
Wall Ovens:
Wall ovens are perfect for a minimalist design in a kitchen. They can fit in seamlessly with your cabinetry and work even more effectively than some ranges. They also look stunning and come in multiple finishes with a variety of high-tech features. Our personal favorite is the ZLINE Single and Double Wall Oven. This wall oven comes in stainless steel, black stainless steel, and ZLINE’s exclusive Durasnow® stainless steel finish. They come with a self clean feature and several different cooking modes which allow for precise cooking. You shop ZLINE wall ovens at The Range Hood Store at the link below.
Microwave Drawers:
Microwave drawers are a great way to save counter space by installing a microwave within your cabinetry. Oftentimes microwaves can take up unnecessary space, so this is a great solution for a minimalist design. They are also a fun piece of technology that are bound to impress guests that come to your home. Once again, ZLINE blows all the other competitors out of the water. The ZLINE microwave drawer is perfect for improving the functionality of your kitchen. It has 1,000 watts of cooking power, 11 power levels, multiple defrost settings, and more. You can shop this microwave drawer in stainless steel or black stainless steel at The Range Hood Store at the link below.
Panel Ready Refrigerators:
If you are looking for a refrigerator that isn’t going to stick out like a sore thumb, this is a great option for you. These refrigerators come panel-ready, so you can get a custom door made for it to blend in with your cabinets perfectly. Liebherr is a brand that pops up often when it comes to panel-ready refrigerators. They have over 50 years of refrigeration experience, so they know what customers are looking for. Liebherr has overall great reviews, and you can shop their refrigerators at Build at the link below.
Panel Ready Dishwashers:
Much like the panel-ready refrigerators, these are a perfect option for blending your dishwasher into your cabinetry. With panel-ready dishwashers, you can get a custom door made that blends in with your design perfectly. Our personal favorite is the ZLINE 3rd rack panel ready dishwasher. This dishwasher comes with a third rack equipped for convenient utensil cleaning. While you can purchase it panel-ready, it also comes with eleven different door finishes that you could choose to purchase. It comes with eight different wash cycles and can accommodate 15 place settings, not including the third rack for utensils. You can shop this dishwasher at Rustic Kitchen and Bath at the link below.
Panel Ready Trash Compactors:
Trash cans can be such a nuisance when it comes to space and location. We have the perfect solution for you. A panel-ready trash compactor is not only an efficient way to take care of your trash, but it also doesn’t have to stick out like a sore thumb. Similar to the dishwasher and refrigerator, you can customize your own panel so that it blends in. Our personal favorite is GE’s, which you can learn more about at the link below.
Induction Cooktop:
With the wall oven as a fantastic option, this means you need to find another option for a cooktop. We have seen homeowners combine the ZLINE single wall oven with the ZLINE induction cooktop for the ultimate cooking duo. You can achieve an incredibly fast boil with this cooktop, and it retains heat much faster than other options. It also looks fantastic and seamlessly blends in with your cabinetry. You can shop this cooktop at The Range Hood Store at the link below.
