There are countless styles, finishes, sizes and functions of appliances to choose from when renovating or building a new kitchen, but it doesn't have to be as complicated as it may feel. Chris Slyman gave us the rundown of what's out there, and what Slyman Bros can do to make this process as seamless as possible!

 

Appearance and Finishes

Stainless steel kitchen appliances continue to be the dominant finish, Chris says, but the most popular trends right now are in customizable options. In addition to Wolf's optional hardware finishes to accent the kitchen, they now offer black or white range doors to bring it all together. KitchenAid and Cafe appliances come in several different colors, with the option of changing knob and handle finishes, which have been very popular and are a bit more budget friendly. True offers many standard refrigeration color options as well as custom color matching, which creates a very unique look tailored for each customer's interior design.

 

Energy Efficiency

Typically everyone immediately thinks of refrigeration when it comes to energy- efficient appliances since they are always running, Chris says. Fridges have come a long way over the last several decades and use 40%-50% less energy than older models. As far as cooking goes, induction cooking is not only the most energy efficient way to cook, but is also fast with easy clean-up.

 

Smart Appliances

Appliance manufacturers have added more and more smart features to appliances based on consumer feedback.

The connected options offered are convenient for busy lives and are helpful for people with disabilities to remain independent and in their home. In addition to convenience, some refrigerators will alert you when temperatures rise so you don't risk losing food. And- in taking appliances to another level of smart-some ovens have features that walk you through just about any recipe. It's incredible, like having a chef right in your own kitchen!

 

Installation Made Easy

Luckily, Slyman Bros also has your back when it comes to the hardest part-getting the appliances into your home. Slyman Bros offers next-day delivery, haul-off of old appliances and professional installation in addition to price matching, extended warranties and a Customer Experience team that will be your advocate during the manufacturer's warranty period. They also just opened a new showroom in Columbia, MO to serve the mid-Missouri, Lake of the Ozarks, Columbia and Jefferson City areas as well!

 

Get Prepared!

Before buying new appliances, make sure to gather model numbers and dimensions of your current appliances so we know exactly what will be able to fit in your space, especially if you're replacing. Include the width and height of doorways, staircases and the ceiling. Make a list of features you like and would like to have. Share with your appliance salesperson how you cook, if you entertain, are involved in hunting or sports and are always in need of lots of ice or have busy schedules that require appliances that can save you time. We are here to help!
