The world of kitchen appliances is more exciting than ever.

For a long time, most kitchen appliances more or less did the same thing. Now, with the increasing development of smart technology and product specialization, not all kitchen appliances – or brands – are created equal. 

Although many large brands may offer various kitchen appliances, the best fridge, oven, stovetop, or dishwasher on the market could all be manufactured by separate companies.

At Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, we have over 40+ of experience manufacturing custom cabinets and providing our clients with kitchen design services. Although we don’t sell appliances, we know how important they are for a successful kitchen design process. 

With that, let’s take a look at 5 of the best kitchen appliance brands heading into 2023!

We’ll focus on appliance brands that carry larger appliances like refrigerators, ovens and ranges, stovetops, and dishwashers, rather than small kitchen appliances.

1. KitchenAid

Established in 1919, KitchenAid has developed a reputation as a premier choice for high-quality kitchen gadgets and appliances.

Now, when most people think of KitchenAid, the first thing that immediately comes to mind is their iconic stand mixer countertop appliance. And for good reason, the KitchenAid stand mixer has been a showpiece in kitchens all over the world for more than 100 years. 

But in truth, KitchenAid makes a number of other kitchen appliances that are equally as well crafted, stylish, and functional as the stand mixer - including their dual-fuel range - which is the best of its kind on the market.

Keep in mind that for each of these kitchen appliance brands, we will only highlight their “best” kitchen appliance. So, in the case of KitchenAid, let's go over the best features that you can find in their top-of-the-line dual-fuel range.

Features

• Dual-Fuel (Gas and Electric) for real flame or electric grilling
• Even-Heat True Convection System
• Dual-Flame Burners with up-to 45,000 BTU’s
• Chrome-infused electric griddle
• KitchenAid App smart connectivity
  
  

There are various KitchenAid ranges available, but if you're looking for anything other than a dual-fuel range, then there are better alternatives on the market.

2. General Electric

Founded by Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan, General Electric has been an established name for over 130 years. 

GE has long been considered a leader in the home appliances industry, and their new kitchen appliances prove that this reputation is still well-deserved.

All of the GE kitchen appliances are excellent, depending upon your design sensibilities. Still, their wall-mount ovens and portable dishwashers stand out and are among the best you can buy in 2023. 

Features

The new GE lineup of kitchen appliances features some of the most innovative smart technology features available. Let’s look at some of the best features found in the GE double wall mount ovens.

• Hot-Air Fry
• Selectable precision cooking modes
• Wi-fi Connect
• LCD Touchscreen
• Self-clean with steam clean
• Automatic temperature adjustments

3. Miele

Miele is in the upper-tier of home appliance brands. They have been around since 1899, and are now highly regarded as one of the leaders in the luxury kitchen industry.

Like most high-end kitchen appliances, they’re designed for the long haul, thanks to their combination of durability, functionality, and intuitive technology. Miele appliances go through extensive testing and are made of premium materials that are meant to last for at least 20 years of use. 

For this article we’ll focus on their line of refrigerators. Their selections come with a wide variety of pricing and options that can be competitive with other brands. 

A Miele refrigerator is a perfect pick for those who are after good value, but it is still considered high-end. They offer both built-in and freestanding options, side-swing or French door, and panel ready or stainless steel—whichever suits your style or preference.

To start, their Push-2-Open door design is quite handy. As the name suggests, you can simply press gently and the refrigerator door opens by itself. Then when you go to close it, the Soft-Close hinges allow for a smooth close so you don’t shake your items around.

Their refrigerators also feature dual compressors that distribute a better cooling system compared to most other refrigerators, which helps keep your food fresher for longer.

For a company to be as prominent as they are 120 years later, Miele is definitely one brand to always keep your eye on when you’re shopping for new kitchen appliances. 

4. LG

LG is one of the world’s leading electronics brands and have built a reputation for making long-lasting products for a fair price. In recent years, LG has made an impressive number of sleek, innovative kitchen appliances.

Since the launch of their Smart appliance line in 2014, LG has been innovating in the kitchen appliances space. What’s interesting is just how good the new LG kitchen appliances are across the entire lineup. 

While a lot of companies excel in one particular area, LG have managed to produce remarkable options for ranges, fridges, and dishwashers – not to mention their always popular laundry appliances. 

A fine LG selection to focus on would be their line of ranges. 

Features

• Air sous-vide and Air-Fry

• LG Connected Home ThinQ

• App-controlled cooking

• Smart diagnosis support

• See-inside the oven with LG Insta-View

LG ranges come in different shapes and sizes, but generally speaking, their best model is the slide-in range. If you don’t have the design space for the slide-in model, you should be able to find a conventional LG oven that will work while still providing many of the best features found in the slide-in.

5. Bosch 

For more than 125 years, Bosch has been making some of the best kitchen appliances in the world. 

All of Bosch's appliances are expertly constructed, with various styles and features for any preference. Bosch also provides their appliances with a safe and reliable warranty.

With a vast selection of kitchen appliances worthy of acknowledgement, Bosch’s preeminent product is its industry-leading line of dishwashers.

Features

• Bosch dishwashers are the quietest on the market
• 3^rd rack for additional capacity
• 9-way adjustable racks
• AquaStop Leak Protection
• Speed60, which washes and dries your dishes in 60 minutes
• Extra-Dry option for enhanced drying power

Whether you choose to go with an under-counter, built-in, or portable dishwasher, Bosch has a variety of models that will fit any kitchen. 

Pricing and Other Considerations 

The prices of kitchen appliances vary from week to week and from vendor to vendor, it's impossible to provide accurate pricing for each appliance on the market. Determine what your budget is, and then look around to see which of the above appliances are available.

That said, the kitchen appliance brands we’ve been looking at are the best-of-the-best, and as such, you can expect to spend anywhere between $500-$5000+ for each appliance. 

If your budget is a primary concern, LG may have the best overall value throughout their appliance offerings. That's not to say they are the cheapest, but for what you get in exchange for the money, you can’t go wrong.

Lastly, the unfortunate truth is that kitchen appliances won't always run smoothly. Sometimes they'll need a tune-up to ensure they're working as efficiently as possible. That's why it's important always to know where to get your kitchen appliances repaired in your city!
