We are seeing more and more Wi-Fi connected appliances which can be controlled and monitored with your smartphone. This can be very practical for those of you who are worried about leaving the house with a burner on or wondering about the fridge’s contents when at the supermarket!

Say goodbye to harsh products and scrapers! Induction cooktops are now easy to clean. All you need is a damp cloth to wipe up most splashes and spills. What more could you ask for!

Refrigerators

French doors are a favourite when it comes to refrigerators. Other practical features include Wi-Fi connected, glass doors or touch screen, water or ice dispenser, and double doors.
Modern-day refrigerators often come equipped with modular spacing units to improve layout convenience and food preservation.

If you have room, treat yourself to full-sized vertical refrigerators and freezers placed side by side.

Current trends are leaning towards minimalism. Concealed controls on the outer surface offer a sleek and straightforward look. Inside, you’ll find components such as adjustable baskets, a 3rd level, water- and energy-saving tech features, as well as steam wash settings.
