Most Updated Kitchen Appliances of 2023
As the head of purchasing at Ross’s Discount Home Centre, I eagerly anticipate the release of Houzz’s annual insights on renovation trends, and this year’s 2023 Kitchen Trends Study does not disappoint. The study highlights shifts in which kitchen appliances Australians are prioritising, with a focus on cooktops, dishwashers, range hoods, wall ovens, and fridge/freezers. These findings reflect a growing emphasis on functionality and energy efficiency—essential factors that elevate a kitchen’s performance and appeal.
If you’re thinking about updating your kitchen, now is the perfect time to consider which appliances you need in your life to bring both style and practicality to your space. This guide will walk you through the must-have kitchen appliances, offering insights to help you make informed, value-driven choices for your home.
Cooktops
According to Houzz, cooktops were the most upgraded of all kitchen appliances. 84% of all homeowners who renovated their kitchens in the last year or this year have upgraded their cooktops. This just goes to show how important cooktops are to most homeowners.
If you’re looking to upgrade your cooktop, then you’ll find some excellent options here at Ross’s Discount Home Centre. In particular, I’ll recommend you to take a look at our 60cm Induction Cooktop and our 90cm Induction Cooktop. These are versatile cooktops that are suitable for a variety of cooking purposes.
Rangehoods / Extractor Fan
Rangehoods were the second most updated kitchen appliance. 77% of people who undertook a kitchen renovation last year or this year have upgraded their rangehoods. And there’s a good reason behind this too – they keep our kitchens clean. And who doesn’t love a clean kitchen?
You’ll find an excellent selection of quality rangehoods at our store. Check out our 60cm Stainless Steel Canopy and our 70cm Glass Canopy rangehoods. These products are immensely popular with our customers, and I can bet that you’ll love them as well!
Dishwashers
A large number of kitchen renovators also upgraded their dishwashers last year, 69% to be precise. This is because dishwashers are always subject to heavy use and many people don’t operate their machines properly.
If your dishwasher is in need of a replacement, take a look at our 60cm Fully Integrated Dishwasher and our 60cm Freestanding Dishwasher. These powerful dishwasher units offer excellent functionality, and they are designed to last you many years to come.
Wall Ovens
65% of all homeowners who renovated their kitchen last year or this year upgraded their wall ovens. While wall ovens may not be the first appliance to spring up to mind, there’s no denying that most people find it very valuable.
For high-quality wall ovens at affordable prices, check out our 45cm Combi Microwave and our 60cm Fan Forced Oven. These ovens are super functional, and they will make your cooking duties much simpler.
Fridge/Freezer
57% of all kitchen renovators upgraded their fridge or freezer last year. This should come as no surprise as the fridge is arguably the most important kitchen appliance. The surprising fact is that people don’t replace or upgrade it too often.
Microwave
Last on this list is the microwave, which was replaced by 52% of kitchen renovators last year.
If you’re looking for a microwave, take a look at our 28L Built-In Microwave Oven + Grill and our 34L Microwave Oven. These high-quality appliances are designed to fit into every kitchen, including yours easily.
Conclusion
Houzz recently released its latest Kitchen Trends Study, showing that cooktops were the most replaced kitchen appliance last year, followed by range hoods, dishwashers, wall ovens, fridge/freezers, and microwaves.
