FAQ

What important features should I look for in a refrigerator?

When choosing a refrigerator, consider these key features to find the right fit for your kitchen:

  • Size and Capacity: Measure your space to ensure the refrigerator fits while providing sufficient storage.
  • Style: Options include top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side, and French door designs.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for ENERGY STAR certified models to help reduce energy costs.
  • Storage Options: Features like adjustable shelves and crisper drawers enhance organization.
  • Dispenser Features: Ice and water dispensers provide convenient access to chilled drinks.
  • Finish: Select a finish that complements your kitchen decor, such as stainless steel or matte.

These aspects can guide you in selecting a refrigerator that meets your needs and complements your kitchen.

How can I ensure my appliances operate efficiently?

To keep your appliances running smoothly, consider these helpful tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can affect performance, so clean refrigerator and freezer coils regularly.
  • Check Seals: Ensure door seals on refrigerators and ovens are tight to prevent energy loss.
  • Adjust Settings: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal temperature settings.
  • Avoid Overloading: Do not overcrowd appliances, as this can disrupt airflow and efficiency.
  • Schedule Maintenance: For complex appliances, professional servicing can help maintain optimal performance.

Implementing these practices can help prolong the life of your appliances and improve their efficiency.

What advantages do ENERGY STAR certified appliances offer?

Selecting ENERGY STAR certified appliances comes with several benefits:

  • Energy Savings: These appliances consume less energy than standard models, potentially lowering your utility bills.
  • Environmental Benefits: By using less energy, they contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and your carbon footprint.
  • High Performance: ENERGY STAR products meet strict efficiency standards while providing excellent performance.
  • Financial Incentives: Many utility companies provide rebates for purchasing ENERGY STAR appliances, enhancing your savings.
  • Durability: These appliances often come with extended warranties and are designed for longevity, making them a smart investment.

Choosing ENERGY STAR certified appliances is a responsible choice that benefits both your wallet and the environment.

What factors should I weigh when selecting between top-load and front-load washers?

When choosing between top-load and front-load washers, consider these key distinctions:

  • Loading Method: Top-load washers allow loading from the top, while front-load washers have a front door.
  • Water Efficiency: Front-load washers typically use less water and energy, making them more environmentally friendly.
  • Cleaning Performance: Front-load models often provide a more thorough clean due to their tumbling action.
  • Space Requirements: Top-load washers need more vertical space, while front-load washers can be stacked with dryers to save space.
  • Cycle Length: Front-load washers generally have longer wash cycles but offer a wider variety of wash options.

Understanding these factors can help you choose the washer that best meets your laundry needs.

What are the essential steps for installing a built-in dishwasher?

Installing a built-in dishwasher involves several important steps to ensure proper functionality:

  • Prepare the Space: Clear the installation area and confirm the dishwasher fits properly.
  • Connect Water Supply: Securely attach the water supply line to the dishwasher to avoid leaks.
  • Drain Connection: Connect the drain hose to the sink or garbage disposal, ensuring it is secure and free of kinks.
  • Electrical Setup: If needed, connect the dishwasher to a power source, adhering to local electrical codes.
  • Level the Appliance: Adjust the feet to ensure the dishwasher is level for optimal performance.
  • Secure the Dishwasher: Use screws to attach the dishwasher to the cabinetry for stability.

Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific guidance, and consider hiring a professional if you're unsure about any steps.

Appliances That Make Your Life Easier

It's a fact of life that at some point, one or more of the appliances in your home is going to need to be replaced. Or perhaps you're outfitting a new home or apartment and starting from scratch. This includes your large appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers as well as smaller appliances that make your time in the kitchen or when cleaning much simpler. When these items are relatively new and hopefully covered under some kind of warranty it makes sense to get them repaired when they malfunction. However, there comes a time when you must decide to replace a failing appliance with a brand new or refurbished one, and that is where we can help with low prices, every day, on everything.


Refrigerators

Similar to a vehicle or other large-scale appliances, it pays to know what to look for when choosing a refrigerator for your kitchen or other spot in your home. For example, with refrigerators, it pays to know what to look for, such as how many doors you want, where you want the freezer to be situated, whether you want an external ice maker, water dispenser and amenities designed to keep your food fresher for longer periods of time. Size is a major consideration, as our refrigerators run as small as 1.7 cubic feet, which are ideal for offices, dorm rooms and man caves, to 26 cubic feet or more for full-size units. Other considerations, such as color, width, brand and ENERGY STAR rating are important as well.


Toasters

The same care when choosing a large appliance should be done for smaller appliances as well. For example, it seems almost expected for a toaster to work forever, and most do last a long time. However, if you have recently moved and are trying to match a certain color scheme or simply want to upgrade to the latest technology, there are important things to consider when selecting a toaster too. For example, do you want it to be a two-slice or four-slice toaster, should it have manual timing or digital, and should it be a certain color or does stainless steel work with your decor? You could even choose a toaster oven that doubles as a toaster, giving you an appliance that does double duty in your kitchen.


Microwaves

Speaking of versatile appliances, none are more versatile in the kitchen than microwave ovens. These devices have come a long way from the days of the Radar Range. Microwaves not only reheat your food and beverages with electromagnetic waves (in other words, microwaves), but many also offer convection capabilities as well. No longer are they just for popping popcorn or heating TV dinners. Now, you can cook entire meals with just a microwave and do other tasks as well, such as defrosting frozen food and softening butter. Microwaves typically are available in three forms: countertop, over-the-range and built-in. Again, there are factors to consider regarding your choice of microwave, and we have many from which you can choose. We have units that are small having a cooking space of 0.9 cubic feet or less to 1.4 cubic feet or more. Wattage is another consideration, and we have models that range from less than 700 watts to more than 1,000 watts - the higher the wattage, the quicker your foods are heated, essentially.


Washers and Dryers

Appliances aren't exclusive to your kitchen. Many people like the convenience of having their own washing machine and dryer rather than making trips to the Laundromat or on-site laundry facility. We can help with these choices as well. For example, apartment dwellers who don't have room for a traditional-sized washer and dryer can select all-in-one units that work side by side, stack on top of each other or portable units that are usable on a countertop. For standard washers and dryers, considerations include top-loading or front-loading, capacity, overall size and brand.


Vacuum Cleaners

Another appliance that is often overlooked until it malfunctions is a vacuum cleaner. There have been many advances made in the making of vacuum cleaners, and it is not just limited to style. The variations here range from canister, uprights, stick and even handheld and robotic vacuum cleaners. There are also units that are ideal for doing deep carpet cleanings, including extractors sometimes known as steam machines and shampooers. There are even some vacuums specific to picking up pet hair and dander. For the do-it-yourselfer, there are also wet-dry vacuums that are ideal for working in the garage, shop or anywhere there is a need to vacuum up heavy-duty materials or liquids. Important considerations for vacuum cleaners focus on the surfaces to be cleaned, whether the unit is bagless or not, height, color and available accessories. We feature many brands of vacuum cleaners, and finding one that is ideal for your space is simple.


air conditioners

One appliance that is crucial to upping the comfort level of your home is an air conditioner. Although many people live in homes with central air conditioning, many do not and that is where we can help. We offer units that fit snugly in a window and can keep several rooms cool at one time, and portable air conditioners ideal for keeping a single room at the desired temperature. Factors to consider when choosing an air conditioner include the coverage area to be cooled, the size of the space (if choosing a window unit) and the number of BTUs the unit possesses. BTUs refers to the amount of heat an air conditioner can remove from a room per hour, with up to 5,400 BTUs recommended for small rooms (150 square feet) and 32,000 BTUs for covering 1,600 square feet. As with most products of this nature, be sure to look for the ENERGY STAR label to ensure you are getting a unit that is cost-effective as well.
