Kitchen appliances have never been smarter, thanks to ever-advancing technology and clever design. Whether you have a big family to feed, love to entertain or you’re just always on the go, the new features and clever functions of kitchen appliances are bound to make your life a whole lot easier.

For The Family

The more mouths you have to feed, the harder your kitchen appliances need to work for you. Make the most of multitasking products and features that take the hard work out of cooking and cleaning in the heart of your home.

Modern ovens take multitasking to a new level, which means you can get a crispy-based pizza on pizza night from the same appliance that will give you a precision-cooked roast on Sunday.

The bigger your family, the bigger you’ll want your dishwasher to be, so there’s nothing left to wash by hand when it’s full.

Love to get the kids involved in cooking but wary of the mess it creates? You’ll want to invest in a Cordless Vacuum.

If you’ve noticed that milk seems to disappear twice as fast when children are around, you’re not alone. Luckily, with a smart fridge, you’ll be able to double-check your milk levels from the dairy aisle at the supermarket via your smartphone. Popping a favourite TV show on the touchscreen display is also the perfect way to distract a hungry toddler while you’re throwing dinner together.

For The Entertainer

The designated dinner-party host in any circle of friends or family needs a kitchen that can handle the heat, and appliances that can carry the load.

Sleek appliances will impress your guests, but not as much as a perfectly cooked meal. That’s exactly why a Pyrolytic Oven should be on the wishlist of every keen cook. The pyrolytic function will save you the morning-after oven clean.

It’s not long before glassware becomes sparse when you’re entertaining a crowd. Investing in a double-drawer dishwasher means you can run the tumblers through a speed cycle using just one drawer, so you don’t have to restack the whole thing after.

A French door fridge is non-negotiable in an entertainer’s kitchen. How else are you going to fit in the charcuterie board?

For The Rarely-Home

Whether it’s long hours at work or a thriving social life keeping you out and about, there are still a few kitchen essentials that can serve you well.

Cooking For The Rarely-Home

Simple, stylish and easy to operate is what you’ll want in an oven as well as a quick cook setting that will have your pre-prepared dinner hot in a flash.

Chances are that when you do have dishes to do, you won't have time, look for a Dishwasher with Wi-Fi connectivity which lets you start, stop or change the settings from your phone, even after you’ve walked out the door.
