Small appliances

Small kitchen appliances are compact, portable devices designed to aid in a variety of cooking and food preparation tasks. While they can conveniently sit on countertops, they can also be stowed away in cabinets when not in use. The range of these appliances is diverse, from microwaves, toasters, blenders, and mixers to coffee makers, juicers, and bread makers, among others.

When shopping for small kitchen appliances, consider the size of your kitchen and the amount of space you have available. Since most small appliances fit on top of counters and tables, make sure your kitchen counter has enough free space to safely run all the small appliances you are planning to purchase. For countertops with less available space, there are many compact versions of small appliances, such as hand blenders, hand mixers, small toasters, single serve coffee makers and French presses, small microwaves and more.

While it's not a strict rule, matching your small appliances to your kitchen décor can create a more cohesive, visually pleasing look. If this is the look you prefer, carefully examine the dominant colours in your kitchen, including the cabinets, countertops, walls, and floors. Next, select appliances in colours that complement these primary shades. If your kitchen is mainly white, you can choose appliances in bold colours for contrast. If your kitchen has a lot of colour, you might want to select appliances in neutral tones like black, white, or stainless steel. Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference.

Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning guidelines. Every small appliance requires some degree of maintenance, cleaning, and flushing to eliminate potential for mineral and microbe buildup. This cleaning is typically required after every use, too. Regular cleaning and maintenance can enhance the efficiency and longevity of your small appliances.
