Benefit Your Compact Life by Buying Top-Grade Kitchen Appliances

As a Product Designer and a Graphic Designer I can tell you that while GOOD Design is not cheap, Poor design is pretty expensive.
For society. And eventually the Consumer. Which means you! And your Compact Lifestyle.

Poor design includes inferior components which fail sooner that you would like. Cheaper, lower-quality materials break more easily. Requiring you to replace the item: Another round of frustration. Another trip to the shop. Another expense. All amounting to time an money.

If you have doubts about whether high-quality household appliances are worth the money, have a think about these not-so-novel ideas.
For example - the replacement cost of a cheap product includes the cost of the original, failed product. Add these two prices together, plus the cost of petrol and driving wear-and-tear, and your lost time in doing the same job twice and...

Well, you get the picture.

Aesthetic Appeal Secrets: 'Eye Appeal IS Buy Appeal'

Kitchen and household appliances which have that “Luxury appeal” do not emphasise the visual aspect of the products intent.
They conceal it with Beauty.

The “form-follows-function” dictum of Design has gradually been smoothed out. And as material qualities have been changed and advanced and manufacturing techniques have been improved upon, roboticized and become more ubiquitous, what used to be “high-end luxury” has become attainable by many.

At the same time – the very rich can only cling to their luxury by surviving on the most massive and expensive of toys. At the other end of the Consumer class – the very same appliances are being produced with cheaper materials – resulting in the plethora of “knock-offs”, as well as just cheaply and shoddily produced appliances with life spans of just weeks.

Standard appliances often leave much to be desired in their overall design. Budget appliances can get the job done. However, if you want to transform your kitchen into a beautiful and impressive space, purchase top-quality appliances.

Raise the Bar in Your Compact life

Meticulously-designed kitchen appliances by top-notch product designers become very desirable as their overall appeal is elevated to that of art objects.
Simply stated: the two primary traits of kitchen appliances are versatility and design.

If you cloak that versatility in Excellent Design, you can impress your guests with your appreciation of the Art of High-end Kitchen Appliance Design.

And if you imbue that versatility with high-quality materials – you will reach . . .

Product Longevity of Kitchen Appliances

Higher-end kitchen appliances have a higher price tag. But they last longer last longer. A good mechanical appliance can run for 20 years.
Or you can buy something that you replace every 6 to 9 months.
You can always expect longevity and reliability from the best kitchen appliances as they’re built with expert craftsmanship.
The high-quality components in these appliances contribute to lower maintenance. With a luxury kitchen appliance, you will be making a worthwhile investment to augment your cooking experience.
Compared to budget appliances, luxury kitchen appliances are available with extended warranties.

Most Luxury Kitchen Appliances are Energy Efficient

One of the key highlights of luxury kitchen appliances is their ability to save energy. If you’re on the lookout to lower your carbon footprint, investing in luxury kitchen appliances would be suitable. Most luxury appliances come with a five-star energy efficiency rating. They are a terrific way to support an environment-friendly way of living.

Integrated with Smart Features - Otherwise Known as "Feature Creep"

Here - I am talking about the actual device. Not the user. Which is you. Device - Integrated. You! No Integrated.

A significant benefit that top-end appliances have over standard devices is the integration of smart features. Some so smart that their operators don’t know how to use them.

If you are not one to take the time and patience to learn to use what you are buying – do not buy it.
It will be a waste of your money. And you will merely display your lack of technological common sense.

And there is nothing wrong with that.
Thousands of "smart features" feature for no other reason that that The Designers Can. Feature-creep has passed borderline absurdity to being a new sort of techno-disease.

While most standard or budget appliances come with basic functionalities and features, high-end appliances boast the integration of smart features that hope to “make your cooking experience intuitive”.

Don’t you love the Advertising Marketing Jargon that has raised fooling one’s self to a conversational art form.

Disclaimers You Never See on The Packaging

“Intuitive” cooking comes from practicing “cooking” – and no number of “smart” devices will ever help you to cook better unless you are actually learning to cook better by actually LEARNING.

For instance – this gem: “With high-end appliances, you can adjust and monitor their settings. You can even operate them remotely via a mobile app.”
What? You’re going to operate some device? – perhaps one that will cause an electrical short? – and because you are not there, your apartment goes up in flames?

How about this throw-away line: “With these smart features, you can take the guesswork out of your cooking and ensure perfect meals every time. Create an entirely new dimension of ingenuity with the help of the best kitchen appliances”.

“Entirely new dimension of ingenuity?” What can you say to that?
“You programmed this yourself? Amazing!”

Enough fun! When you go shopping for kitchen or house-hold appliances, start off by looking for the ones with the most Stylish Looks, and compare their prices. And compare these style/features/costs with the budget-end products.

You will understand what I mean.
