one-wall kitchen

Time and again, every homeowner needs to upgrade or purchase new kitchen appliances in Perth. While some appliances, such as a refrigerator, have now become necessity items, others are still considered luxury appliances. Even today, with improved design and a wider selection, the essential items continue to improve. Modern appliances offer better functionality and higher energy efficiency to your kitchen duties and electricity bills.

Being Ross’s head of purchasing, I often help our customers purchase kitchen appliances. Over time, I’ve learnt just what appliances most homeowners are after.

Today we’ll look at 5 kitchen appliances you need in your life! Believe me, even if you choose to purchase just one of these appliances, you’ll sure be glad you did. Make sure to read this article through to the end before you head to your local retailer for kitchen appliances.

1. Freestanding Oven

Freestanding ovens are a fantastic addition to any kitchen! Not only do they bring a sleek, modern look, but they also offer a range of features that surpass many standard wall ovens. Many style-conscious and food-loving homeowners are turning to freestanding or gourmet ovens for their kitchens.

A gourmet oven is essentially a freestanding oven—the type you’ve probably seen in professional kitchens or on cooking shows, making it a preferred choice for those who love to cook with precision. Freestanding ovens often provide more versatility and control, especially if you choose a model that includes gas, fan-forced, and steam cooking options. These features allow for better regulation of heat and moisture, making it easier to cook a wide range of dishes to perfection.

Although gourmet ovens are often seen as high-end products, Ross’s Discount Home Centre offers a selection that combines quality with affordability. Our 60cm Dual Freestanding Oven and 90cm Dual Fuel Freestanding Oven are popular choices that deliver outstanding value. So, if you’re looking to upgrade, explore the pros and cons of freestanding ovens and find out why they’re a must-have for your culinary space!

2. French door fridge

A French-door fridge is the dream of most homeowners, including myself. These refrigerators are grand, spacious and offer all the features you could possibly want from a fridge. French-door refrigerators include double doors, with the freezer located at the bottom of the fridge.

While any refrigerator will do an adequate job of cooling your food, French-door refrigerators are the most convenient to use. They offer huge storage space, sufficient enough for you to throw a large house party without worrying about the food. Also, you don’t need to bend down or stick your head into the fridge – everything is conveniently located at eye-level.

When you’re buying a French-door fridge, make sure it includes an ice maker and water dispenser. Also, check to see if the shelves are adjustable and if the freezer features a pull-out drawer system.

French-door fridges may be the most expensive of all types, but they’re still really affordable at Ross’s. If you’d like to purchase a high quality fridge, consider our 584lt Side By Side Refrigerator. This model is packed with stunning features which you are sure to love!

3. Microwave oven

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what microwave ovens are. These handy kitchen appliances can be used to heat, cook and bake food. Microwave ovens offer a whole new level of convenience – simply place your food, set it and it will be cooked. Modern microwave ovens contain plenty of features ranging from grilling, convection cooking, microwave heating and much more. If you don’t already have a microwave oven, you must get one today!

When you’re looking for a microwave oven, be sure to consider the wattage and the size of the unit. Choose models with an easy to use interface and variable settings. Also, check to see if the unit has an automatic turntable.

If you’re ready to purchase a microwave oven, I recommend you consider Ross’s. Our 32L Digital Microwave with Convection and our 28L Built-In Microwave Oven + Grill

4. Dishwasher

My partner appreciates me even more since I had a dishwasher installed in our kitchen. With a dishwasher, you’ll never need to bother about cleaning your utensils ever again. They do a wonderful and more hygienic job with cleaning utensils as compared to manual washing.

Modern dishwashers are available as fully-integrated, semi-integrated, drawer, compact and built-in models. All options clean dishes wonderfully well and you should choose one based on the level of convenience you need. Also, consider the size of your kitchen and choose an appropriately sized unit.

At Ross’s, several of our dishwashers are hits with customers. If you’re thinking of making a purchase, do consider our 60cm freestanding dishwasher. This is what I have in my kitchen and we love it!

5. Rangehoods

If you’re bothered with the smoke that culminates when you’re cooking food, you should invest in a rangehood. Rangehoods are electric chimneys, which will eliminate smoke from your kitchen and make your life easier.

Rangehoods are available in two major filter styles: metal grease and baffle. Baffle filters are better at removing grease so you should choose one of these. Also, think about whether you want your rangehood to be hidden or visible, depending on the style of your kitchen.

For quality rangehoods at the best prices, consider our 60cm slide rangehood or our 60cm stainless steel canopy. Both of these models are noiseless, feature great suction power and will ease up your life.
