September 19, 2023-4 min read
Whether you’re attempting a new dinner party recipe or trying to get the dishes washed and dried fast, kitchen and laundry appliances are our trusty sidekicks, helping us spend more time enjoying life’s simple pleasures. From coffee machines, steam ovens, washing machines and rangehoods to wine fridges and dishwashers, find out why these six appliances will be the shining stars of our kitchens in 2023.
1. Steam Ovens And Why You Need One
Chefs have been using steam ovens in restaurants for years and they’re now making their way into domestic kitchens. A healthier cooking alternative, steam ovens allow foods to retain nutrients that might otherwise be lost by baking or boiling.
“We’re much more health-conscious these days and care about how our food has been prepared. Steam ovens are becoming more and more popular,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking.

When it comes to steam ovens, it’s hard to beat the Electrolux 60cm Pyrolytic Steam Oven. Not only does it include a large 72-litre capacity for big family meals, it also comes with a self-cleaning function.
The Good Guys customer, Cheryl, gave it a five-star review. “Fabulous culinary results. I love all the features of this oven. It’s made me realise I was limping along with an outdated appliance. That’s all changed,” she says.
And as Tania Grillinzoni points out, steam ovens now come with added functionality, such as the Westinghouse 60cm Pyrolytic Oven with 10 cooking functions, including air frying, steam and, of course, pyrolytic cleaning. “Yes, that’s right, you can now air fry in your pyrolytic oven,” says Tania. The future is now!
2. Fast-Drying Dishwashers And Why You Need One
Innovations in dishwashers have addressed the problem of having clean but wet dishes at the end of the cycle. “Fan-assisted dishwashers or auto-opening doors that allow steam to escape the machine have changed the game,” says The Good Guys buyer Tania Grillinzoni.

Keeping wine at the right temperature is the best way to ensure you enjoy it at its Wine fridges also allow you to save money by buying in bulk. “Wine fridges are great in the butler’s pantry, but a lot of renovators are making room for them in the main kitchen these days too,” says The Good Guys refrigeration buyer Peter Simic.

6. Anti-Bacterial Washing Machines And Why You Need One
It’s been a year. Hey, it’s been two. “Cleanliness is top of mind, and in the laundry, that means washing machines with added cleaning functionalities that can guarantee peace of mind,” says Peter Simic, laundry buyer at The Good Guys. Look to one with antibacterial properties that can also deliver a perfect wash.
The One You Want
The sleek black good looks of the Haier 10kg Front Load Washer make it one well worth considering, but it has a host of other great features, too. “Before you purchase any washing machine, you need to take into consideration the WELS water rating and energy ratings, as well as its capacity,” advises Peter Simic, laundry buyer at The Good Guys, who points to the range by Haier as a great example of star performance in all areas, including auto dosing. The UV Protect wash option is the one that will do away with nasty bacteria: utilising UV light, the machine claims to kill more than 99.99 per cent of bacteria while being kind to your clothes.
