Not only furniture and decoration are subject to the cycle of trends, so are household appliances, as they undergo greater changes, new ones appear that make our lives easier, and manufacturers innovate to create more efficient and effective appliances.
And that is what we are going to see today, 5 trends in kitchen appliances 2022, in case you want to have your kitchen up to date, know what is the most demanded today. We started.
Oil-Free Fryers
Melleware Oil Free Fryer
This relatively new appliance is one of the most demanded lately, as it allows us to enjoy the advantages of fried foods, but without frying them with oil. Thus, the public enemy number 1 of the kitchen, fried foods, due to their high fat content, is eliminated from the equation when we enjoy some crunchy “fried” potatoes or delicious croquettes or other delicacies that we cannot afford on a daily basis if we used a fryer with old-fashioned oil.
And the fact is, oil-free fryers use high-temperature air currents to cook and toast food, making it possible to fry them without using a drop of oil, if you don’t want to, since there are some recipes that can be added a little.
Another advantage of oil-free fryers is their price, since, although there are models that can cost almost € 300, we also have others much cheaper and tremendously efficient for approximately € 50, such as these models that we see above. of these lines and that we can buy here at Mellerware, also available in blue.
Thus, it is not surprising that this appliance is one of the most popular in 2022, being one of the most demanded by consumers.
Let’s look at another trend in home appliances:
Smart Appliances
Smart appliances, such as washing machines or refrigerators are no exception, they are, in fact, in full swing, and they have come to stay.
In other words, each year they will be smarter, with more integration of voice assistants, ultra connected and we will be able to interact more with them with greater control.
It is what is coming, and it is going very strong, in all appliances, from washing machines to refrigerators, through dryers, dishwashers, ovens and microwaves, among the most prominent.
It is no longer strange, and it will seem less as time goes by, that you can put the washing machine from your smartphone when you are, for example, at the cinema.
Functionalities like this have made manufacturers bet heavily on equipping household appliances with multi-functions, thus making them the so-called Smart Appliances of today.
Let’s keep going.
2-In-1 Appliances
From the beginning, appliances have always had a single function. The fridge to cool down and keep food healthy for longer. The oven to bake. The dishwasher for washing dishes. The washing machine to wash clothes and it goes on and on.
This at first is not that it has already ended, it is still the case, but when it comes to trends in appliances, we are already seeing some models that combine various functions thus becoming 2-in-1 appliances, such as, ovens that have a dishwasher, or even ovens with a dishwasher and a ceramic or induction hob, also refrigerators that have a computer, such as the Samsung model, the Samsung Family Hub Fridge that comes with a built-in LED screen that is practically a computer or the already known washing machines with drying function, among other models.
As each day the floors are smaller, it is normal that this trend is rising in the list of trends in appliances, since it allows us to have all the appliances we need in a minimum space, without using an extra centimeter.
Let’s look at another trend in household appliances that has been going strong for some years now:
Color In Appliances
If I tell you to think of a washing machine, I am convinced that a white washing machine has come to mind, or at most steel, right? The same if I tell you to think of a refrigerator or any other appliance in your kitchen.
That is over. That is, we can buy them if we want in these classic colors, but what has really changed is that now we also have different colors in many of them to choose from, in case we want to give the kitchen a special touch of color, or put the appliances the same color as the kitchen cabinets.
Although some of the larger appliances such as refrigerators or washing machines, such as the SMEG model in pale blue that we see above these lines, we can now find them in different colors, it is especially in the smaller appliances, such as toasters, microwave, etc., where there is a greater variety of colors, being able to provide the kitchen with small accents of colors here and there with the different appliances that we use daily, such as the coffee maker, toaster or the oil-free fryer that we saw at the beginning of the article.
Steam Washers
Just as in the world of fryers, oil-free fryers have revolutionized the market, in the world of washing machines, steam washers aim to do the same. And it is not something new, since if you have noticed, especially in industrial laundries, they use this technique even to remove the most difficult stains.
The advantages of steam washers that are gaining a lot of ground over conventional washing machines are several and important.
To begin with, they use much less water, so water consumption is lower, affecting our pockets but especially the environment. In addition, they clean faster and more efficiently than using water.
Thanks to steam, it penetrates the fabric more deeply than water and is capable of removing the most difficult stains. Likewise, it eliminates germs, bacteria and allergens, and that is something that can improve the quality of life for everyone, but especially for allergy sufferers.
These main advantages over traditional water washers are gradually positioning them on the market and are being looked at with better eyes every time.
So much so, that several important manufacturers have already launched washing machines with dual water / steam functions, such as the LG 9 Series smart washing machine that we see above these lines.
There are more trends, and there will always be more, but if you are looking for the most outstanding of this 2022 in terms of appliances, they are the ones we have just seen. Do you use any of the appliances we just saw? I read you in the comments.
Smart appliances were definitely the things from your article that caught my attention the most. Having appliances that can make daily kitchen routines easier sounds like an upgrade that can make our new home cooking hobby that bit more enjoyable. I’ll prioritize installing these when I have a kitchen remodeling expert assist me.
