I tell my customers before purchasing a new dishwasher don't clean your dishes before you clean your dishes. The money saved when buying a energy efficient dishwasher just got rinsed down the drain of your sink. The chemicals in dish detergent used to wash your dishes have to attack the food particles on your dishes to clean effectively. If there is nothing on your dishes to clean the dish detergent will destroy your dishes instead of cleaning them.
The most important concept when purchasing a dishwasher is to get the most energy efficient model for the overall value and quality. The Asko brand offers dishwashers that exceed federal energy standards by over 100% and you can find this information on the energy star web page. The award winning design is matched by performance that has been tested to last approximately 20 years. Asko is proud to have received the Swan Label which is the most well known Nordic Ecolabel for health and environmentally friendly products.
The main concern for many customers is buying a dishwasher that will be quiet and not disturb them while their watching TV. There is no standard for rating dishwasher noise level however the dishwasher you buy today will be a lot quieter than the one your bought 5 years ago. The customer will find that the Kitchen Aid 54 dBA entry level dishwasher is probably about the best value for the customer searching to spend a little over $500. The customer that wants the quietest dishwasher will have to reach into their pockets and spend approximately $1600. You will get a lot more features and options which may not be necessary however that will be up to the customer to decide if it fits into their budget.

The AGA Cooking Experience
The AGA Cooker isn't just a range and it's just not your average stove for your everyday consumer. The AGA Cooker uses radiant heat system that makes cooking enjoyable and an experience for every owner. I was at a lost for words when I first laid eyes on this beautiful 59" hand crafted masterpiece at a cooking demonstration in Haddonfield, New Jersey. It was everything a chef could ever dream of and more giving you the flexibility of cooking multiple items at once without preheating the oven.
The AGA simmering plate makes it easy to cook with multiple pots and pans without all the hassle of changing temperature on multiple burners. Radiant heat cooking is gentle and slow which locks in the moisture and natural texture giving you the best results every time. There is no odor transfer with cooking dinner and dessert at the same time. The AGA simmer plate is the perfect griddle for doing pancakes, grilled sandwiches, eggs, and even toasts with the special toaster accessory. The simmering oven can be used to stem vegetables, rice and fish without steaming up the kitchen.
AGA is more than just a cooker it represents a heritage of genius and design that spans through 8 decades. The AGA has not changed much since its introduction in the 1930s in Great Britain when the first models were advertised. The AGA cooking experience is one that you will never forget so come visit your nearby AGA dealer today!!!

Battle of the Built-In Refrigerator

I was very impressed with the first glimpse of these models on the features added that might keep them ahead of their competitors. SubZero put on your boxing gloves and get ready for a battle this Summer.
Miele is one of the new players to the built-in refrigerator market in the Unites States and they really made a statement with their user friendly design. Miele offers fully sealed temperature and humidity controlled crisper drawers which makes it easy to store fruits, vegetables, meats, and seafood at optimum temperature.

SubZero has been a leader in built-in refrigerators for over 60 years and they always had their signature dual compressor system. SubZero promotes the dual compressor system that you will never get odor transfer between the refrigerator and freezer compartment. SubZero state of the are air filtration system does not just clean the air it eliminates bacteria, mold, and viruses. The temperature inside the refrigerator is kept within 1 degree of where you set it and defrost cycle based on consumer usage patterns.
There has been an intense battle for many years with the built-in refrigerator manufracturers developing new designs to compete against the SubZero. Thermador refrigerators have been very popular with their integrated design which gives you flush installation design with your cabinets. The important choice is to buy a refrigerator that fits the design of your kitchen and gives you the best value for the money.

Reliable Clothes Washers
There are a variety of clothes washers out on the market and this is an attempt to simplify your next laundry purchase. The first step is to decide on whether you would like a traditional top-load washer or upgrade to a much more energy efficient front-load washer. Then decide what you have budgeted to spend on a new clothes washer. The top-load washer varies in capacity from 3.0 cu. ft to 5.0 cu.ft. The average size top-load washer is 3.5 cu.ft which you will find with most of the major appliance brand manufactures. The largest size is available from Whirlpool Corporation which makes easy to wash bulky items and king size comforters. The average size front-load washer is 4.0 cu.ft. and will easily accommodate bulky items and comforters.
Miele offers the only washer on the market tested by independent research institute to last twenty years. This is about double industry standard for most clothes washers on the market. They also offer the best warranty 5 years parts and labor when installed by Miele certified technician. Electrolux one of the new players in the front-load washer market offers the largest capacity and a great suspension for second floor installation.
Whirlpool has dominated the top-load market with the introduction of its Tier III high efficiency Cabrio Washer. The 5.0 cu.ft washer meets government standards for Tier III efficiency better than some of the front-load washers available. The New Jersey residents can take advantage of a government rebate for all Tier III high efficiency washers. Bosch currently has a great promotion for free pedestals on select models of their high efficiency washers.

LCD vs Plasma
There will be many people in the Market for the latest High Definition TV this summer. There still remains a big decision to be made on what technology is the best. LCDs and Plasmas have been the most popular televisions out on the market. LCD has shot ahead of its competition with many manufactures like Sony and Mitsubishi no longer supporting Plasma. Sony decided to leave plasma and fully focus on the LCD market. Sony and Samsung have become the top players in the LCD market. Plasma is down however is still strongly supported by Panasonic which is the most popular plasma on the market.
LCD was the first to adopt the 1080p resolution which is available on most of the sets sold in stores. It got a head start which brought many of the LCD sets to the forefront while Plasma dragged behind. Plasma had an overall great picture quality in the beginning did not seem that important to change the sets to the higher resolution. When Plasma moved into the 1080p market LCD domination was growing by very high percentages.
Which one should you buy this Summer really comes down to picture quality. LCD offers very sharp images with bright and vivid colors. Plasma offers a more accurate color scheme and smoother picture transition. This season there is a TV out there to fit into your budget and give you the best picture quality for the overall value.
