With the housing market increasing year after year, more people are buying homes than ever before. As a new homeowner, you’re probably excited to begin making your mark on your new home and making it more livable, but don’t rush out to the store just yet! New homeowners can benefit from reading reviews of appliances written by other homeowners in order to learn about the best products on the market right now, as well as what to expect over the next five years as technology progresses. These are the 10 best appliances for a new homeowner in 2022.
1) Refrigerators
Refrigerators are the most important appliance to have in your home, as they help keep food fresh and safe. The best refrigerator for you will depend on how much space you need, how much energy efficiency matters to you, and whether or not ice is important to your needs.
2) Dishwashers
A dishwasher is one of the most important appliances to have in your new home. It helps cut down on your time spent scrubbing pots and pans and loading and unloading the dishwasher.
3) In the kitchen
The best appliances for a new homeowner in 2022 are the ones that allow you to save money and live more efficiently. One of the best ways to do this is by investing in energy-efficient appliances. The Consumer Energy Center lists three superstar models:
1) Bosch 30 Electric Double Oven- This oven can bake, roast, and broil, as well as accommodate two full-sized sheet pans or casseroles at once. It also has an auto-cleaning feature which cleans both ovens while they’re in use. 2) GE Profile Gas Cooktop -This gas cooktop features four burners with powerful 16,000 BTU burners on one side and 8,000 BTU on the other. 3) KitchenAid Architect II Freestanding Dishwasher – With its stainless steel exterior and racks with adjustable heights this dishwasher will fit all your dishes easily.
4) Cooktops
While the stove is still the most popular cooking appliance, there are other options out there. One of the best is the cooktop. It’s not as intuitive to use as an oven or even a stovetop, but with practice, it can be just as quick and effective. The first thing to consider is your budget because cooktops come in all shapes and sizes depending on your needs and preferences. If you’re just starting out, you might want to start with one that has multiple burners. You’ll find them in 3-, 4- or 5-burner configurations that are capable of holding pots, pans and skillets. With five burners, you’ll have plenty of space for pots, pans and skillets at any given time. A good model will also have a warming area where food can be left without having to worry about it getting cold before being served.
5) Ovens
These days, there are many great ovens to choose from. Which one is best for you? It depends on what you plan to cook, how often you’ll be using it, and your budget. You could go with the basic model, or splurge on the high-end designer brand. But before buying an oven, check out these questions:
How much space do you have for appliances? Is the look of the oven important to you, stainless steel vs. black? Will you use convection oven cooking? Do you need something that cooks fast like a microwave or induction stovetop? Think about the features of the oven too, like how long does it take to preheat? And how big is the window inside so that you can watch food while cooking without opening the door?
6) Washers and Dryers
An agitator washer will be cheaper than a front-loader, but the tradeoff is that they use more water and electricity to do the same job. Front loaders are generally more expensive upfront, but they use less water and energy to wash your clothes than an agitator washer. If you’re on a tight budget or if you live in an area with strict water restrictions, then an agitator washer might be the way to go.
7) Microwaves
Microwaves are one of the most popular appliances in the kitchen. Microwave ovens use microwaves, which are radio waves with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, to heat food by exciting water molecules in the food. This excites them and causes them to move faster and produce heat. The microwaves emitted from the oven cause these excited molecules to collide with other molecules around them, which is what heats up your food.
8) Garbage Disposal
Families today have more on their plates than ever, so making the chore of cleaning up after dinner as quick and easy as possible is a must. That’s where garbage disposals come in handy. The best models will churn through anything you throw at them, from fruit rinds to chicken bones. Plus they’re super easy to install and maintain, which means you can spend more time worrying about what’s going on inside your house (or take that vacation you’ve been putting off).
9) Water Filters
The best water filter on the market is the Aquasana AQ-4000. The AQ-4000 removes 99.9% of lead, mercury, and other heavy metals from drinking water. It also has an activated carbon filter that removes chemicals like chlorine and chloramines as well as bad tastes and odors. This filter is so effective that it even removes bacteria like e-coli, salmonella, giardia, and cryptosporidium without any extra work on your end!
10) Trash Compactors
We all know that the kitchen is the heart of any home and with the amount of food we throw out on a daily basis, it can be hard to keep up with how much trash we are actually producing. If you are looking for an easy way to keep your kitchen clean, consider investing in some high quality trash compactors. Trash compactors will automatically compress your waste and make it easier to handle and dispose of later.
