Small Appliance Repair is the Solution to Save Your Broken Vacuum Cleaner Or Sewing Machine
December 19th, 2009How To Choose The Best Small Kitchen Appliances
December 3rd, 2009
When shopping in an appliance store, make sure you know what your kitchen needs so that you avoid spending extra on fancy gadgets and add-ons that you may never get to use. Small kitchen appliances are very convenient and space-saving. However, having too many or choosing the wrong ones may only add to the risk of small kitchen clutter.
How many appliances can your kitchen contain? Too many appliances will make the room look cluttered. Small kitchens ideally should have very clean and clear countertops. If possible, all gadgets and tools should be out of plain view when not in use. You should be able to store most or all items in cabinets and drawers. It is allowed to leave one or two on top like the microwave or blender if you really use these regularly. Other than that, extra appliances will waste space.
Small kitchen appliances should be at an extent complimentary to the room. Try to determine the right color, type and size that match your kitchen. Tall shapes are ideal in creating the illusion of a wider space. Be careful about your refrigerator’s measurements though since it can overwhelm the area if it is too large making the room appear much smaller than usual. Aluminum or stainless steel makes are also good since these can deflect light and appear sleek. Light colors are good like white or yellow or find a nice contrast to light room color. Decide if you need cordless appliances or can manage with corded ones which are cheaper.
Flexibility, durability and convenience are three things that you should look for when buying kitchen appliances. A wall oven or cook top is considerably more flexible compared to conventional and larger ranges. Electric burners are also better at saving space since you don’t have to work with a gas range. There are ranges however, that are smaller than traditional models and can fit easily over countertops. If you can find appliances that do not need too much or any floor space at all, these provide you the benefit of convenience.
Doing stuff in your small kitchen will be easier if you have adequate working area. Hanging fans are preferred over standalone types. Since you’re using the appliances for a variety of tasks, invest in a reliable brand to make sure that they last for years to come. If you’re simply replacing an old appliance that has worked well for you, it is better to get a new model with relatively the same dimensions as the last to avoid conflicts in space. Follow this tip when getting large kitchen appliances such as a refrigerator.

Six Great Small Appliances
December 3rd, 2009
One of my favorite commercials features Dyson vacuum inventor, James Dyson. It’s his understated way of saying that he invented his vacuum because he believes things should just work properly that appeals to me so much. And that’s the problem – few things do. That’s why when something does work well, it’s nice to know about it. In columns past, I’ve written about some of my favorite small appliances.
However, I was vexed by some of my other small appliances, like toasters that must have been assembled by Linda Blair. I’ve spent the gross national product of some small island nations trying to find a toaster that doesn’t suffer from premature toasting or that “grrrssss” when you push the lever down again for another round of browning. Or, my quest for a blender that makes smooth smoothies. Is it so much to ask to have smooth liquids and brown toast? Apparently it is. However, I’ve since found a toaster that, in the words of James Dyson, works properly, and I thought you’d like to know about it and some of the other discoveries I’ve made in small appliances that make my life a little easier, a little toastier, and a little smoother.
Get up
Sleeping’s great, but waking doesn’t seem so bad with the Timex T307S alarm clock. This clock has a variety of pleasing, realistic nature sounds ranging from waves to birds to windchimes (my favorite). Best of all, the volume for the alarm is adjustable. At about $30 at most major home centers, it’s not too pricey and with its vertical shape, it doesn’t take up the whole nightstand.
Rub the right way
The Homedics Therapist Select Massaging Seat Cushion will make you want to marry it. With both a rolling and shiatsu massage and the option of spot massage where you need it, you’ll fall in love again. At about $100, it’s just a little more than the cost of a massage at a day spa and you don’t have to worry about how your hair looks afterwards.
Get toasty
The Avante Delux toaster by T-Fal is the toaster that saved my morning sanity. It’s about $50, which might seem high at first blush. But when you’re in hurry and pushing levers and trying to get some breakfast in you, that $50 will seem cheap. It doesn’t pop up toast prematurely and the settings actually work. It also handles frozen garlic toast and large waffles easily.
Smoothies, anyone?
Some companies just know how to make an appliance. Cuisinart is one of those companies. The Cuisinart SmartPower SPB-7CHseven speed blender makes smooth smoothies in a flash. Its one drawback is the duh button. You have to push an on button before pressing blend or other blending option. Other than this nuisance, the blender does what it’s supposed to – blend smoothly.
Dyson Slim
The last appliance is also my newest one. The Dyson Slim is about thirty percent smaller than a regular-sized vacuum and cleans like a full-size. I broke my wrist last year and had neck surgery in February, so I don’t want to muscle a vacuum around the house. It turns on a dime and uses your arm and shoulder to move it instead of your back. That’s a huge improvement in ergonomics. As a test, I vacuumed with my old vacuum and then went over the same area with the Dyson and was astounded by how much it picked up. I can also store it in to my cleaning cabinet. It runs about $550 dollars, so it’s not cheap. But, it works properly. And isn’t that all we want after all in any small appliance?
