Meet the Future of Freshness: Bosch’s 100 Series French Door Fridge

Learn which type of detergent is best for your laundry—whether it’s powder, liquid, or washer sheets—and maximize your cleaning results.

<p>Ever had a laundry day disaster that left you wondering if you&rsquo;re using the right detergent? Maybe your powder didn&rsquo;t dissolve, or your liquid left you with half a bottle after just a few loads. Whatever the case, choosing the right detergent isn&rsquo;t just about preference&mdash;it&rsquo;s about performance, convenience, and getting the most out of your washing machine!</p>
<p>Our experts at&nbsp;Livingood's Appliances & Bedding know how overwhelming the detergent aisle can feel, so we&rsquo;re here to break it all down for you. We&rsquo;ve got the insights to help you make the perfect pick for every wash.</p>
<p><img alt="A laundry powder detergent scoop lays full on a table of powdered detergent." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_what-detergent-is-best_1.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Powder Detergents: Classic and Reliable</h2>
<p>Powder detergents might feel like a throwback, but they&rsquo;ve stood the test of time for a reason. These granules activate in water, breaking down grime and odors while sticking to a simple, no-frills approach. It&rsquo;s not hard to see why they&rsquo;ve remained a laundry staple for generations.</p>
<p>What keeps people coming back to powder detergents?</p>
<ul>
<li>They&rsquo;re <strong>budget-friendly</strong>, making them perfect for large households or frequent washing.</li>
<li>With a <strong>long shelf life</strong>, you can stock up without worrying about them going bad.</li>
<li>Many formulas<strong> include water softeners</strong> to boost cleaning performance in hard water.</li>
<li>They&rsquo;re <strong>excellent at tackling dirt</strong>-heavy loads like workwear or outdoor gear.</li>
</ul>
<p>That said, powder detergents aren&rsquo;t always a perfect fit:</p>
<ul>
<li>They <strong>don&rsquo;t always dissolve</strong> well in cold water, which can leave behind clumps or streaks.</li>
<li>Measuring and handling them <strong>can get messy</strong>, especially when spills happen.</li>
<li>They <strong>may not work as effectively</strong> in high-efficiency (HE) machines, where water is limited.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A pair of hands pours out green laundry detergent into a cap." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_what-detergent-is-best_2.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Liquid Detergents: Versatile and Convenient</h2>
<p>Liquid detergents have become a laundry-day favorite, and it&rsquo;s easy to see why. These pre-dissolved formulas sink deep into fabrics, delivering a thorough clean without leaving residue behind! They&rsquo;re a go-to for households that value convenience and adaptability.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s why liquid detergents are such a popular choice:</p>
<ul>
<li>They <strong>dissolve completely</strong>, even in cold water, making them perfect for energy-efficient cycles.</li>
<li>Measuring and pouring is <strong>quick and easy</strong>, without the hassle of scooping powder.</li>
<li>Their <strong>gentle formulas</strong> help preserve bright colors and delicate fabrics.</li>
<li>They double as a <strong>stain pre-treater</strong>&mdash;apply directly to trouble spots before washing.</li>
</ul>
<p>Still, there are a few things to keep in mind about liquid detergents:</p>
<ul>
<li>They tend to <strong>cost more per load</strong> compared to powder detergents.</li>
<li>Bulky plastic bottles can be <strong>hard to store</strong> and aren&rsquo;t the most eco-friendly.</li>
<li>Liquid formulas <strong>require more water</strong> to produce, adding to their environmental footprint.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A woman holds a baby to her chest while she sits on the floor and loads her washer." height="401" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_what-detergent-is-best_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Washer Sheets: Small but Mighty</h2>
<p>Washer sheets are shaking up the laundry world, offering a mess-free alternative to traditional detergents. These slim, pre-measured sheets dissolve entirely in water&mdash;hot or cold&mdash;taking the guesswork out of your wash routine.</p>
<p>Why are washer sheets becoming a laundry game-changer?</p>
<ul>
<li>Their <strong>compact size</strong> makes them ideal for small spaces or traveling.</li>
<li>They&rsquo;re <strong>pre-measured</strong>, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about spills or over-pouring.</li>
<li>They <strong>dissolve fully</strong> in all water temperatures, leaving no residue behind.</li>
<li>With <strong>minimal packaging</strong>, they&rsquo;re an excellent choice for eco-conscious households.</li>
</ul>
<p>But washer sheets aren&rsquo;t perfect for every situation:</p>
<ul>
<li>They&rsquo;re often <strong>pricier</strong> than traditional detergents, especially for large families.</li>
<li>Heavily soiled or greasy fabrics might <strong>require extra help</strong>, like a stain remover.</li>
<li>As a <strong>newer product</strong>, they&rsquo;re less widely available and haven&rsquo;t been time-tested like powders or liquids.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A hand adjusts the dial on a home washing machine." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_what-detergent-is-best_4.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Matching Detergent to Your Washing Machine</h2>
<p>The type of detergent you use isn&rsquo;t just about personal preference&mdash;it also depends on your washing machine. Choosing the wrong kind can impact cleaning performance or even damage your machine over time.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Top-Load Washers</strong>: You can choose from several detergent types&mdash;powder, liquid, and washer sheets all work. Powder detergents excel for heavily soiled loads.</li>
<li><strong>Front-load Washers</strong>: Use low-sudsing detergents, such as liquid or washer sheets, to avoid residue. Powder detergents can struggle to dissolve in these machines.</li>
<li><strong>High-Efficiency (HE) Washers</strong>: Stick with &ldquo;HE&rdquo; detergents. Liquid detergents and washer sheets work best since they dissolve quickly, even in minimal water.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Picking the Perfect Detergent for Your Laundry Needs</h2>
<p>Beyond the machine, your detergent choice should align with what you&rsquo;re washing. Each type has strengths depending on the fabric, stain level, and wash conditions.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Heavily Soiled Clothes</strong>: Powder detergents are ideal for tackling dirt, grease, and mud, especially for outdoor gear or work uniforms.</li>
<li><strong>Delicates and Bright Colors</strong>: Liquid detergents are gentler on fabrics and help preserve color while dissolving well in cold water.</li>
<li><strong>Eco-Friendly or Compact Needs</strong>: Washer sheets are perfect for small spaces or energy-efficient washing, offering a mess-free, sustainable option.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A woman and child fold laundry together at home." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_what-detergent-is-best_5.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Loads of Options</h2>
<p>Laundry may never truly end, but with the right detergent, it doesn&rsquo;t have to feel like a chore! Powder detergents bring reliability, liquid offers versatility, and washer sheets redefine convenience. Each has its strengths, and finding the right one can make all the difference for your clothes, your machine, and your routine.</p>

Laundry Detergents Demystified: Which Type Should You Use?

Not sure which type of fridge suits your space? Explore the differences between side-by-side and top freezer refrigerators to make an informed choice.

<p>Have you ever stood in front of your refrigerator and wondered if there&rsquo;s something better out there&mdash;something that could make life just a bit easier in the kitchen? Whether you&rsquo;re tired of cramped shelves or ready for a fridge upgrade, the decision often boils down to two top contenders: side-by-side and top freezer refrigerators. Each has its own unique perks, and which one works best for you depends on your daily habits, kitchen space, and what you value most in an appliance.</p>
<p>Luckily, at Livingood's Appliances & Bedding, our experts are ready to help guide you through the options. Explore the ins and outs of these two styles with us so you can make the right choice for your home!</p>
<p><img alt="A side-by-side fridge sits in a modern, stylish kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_top-freezer-vs-side-by-side_1.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Side-by-Side: The Modern Convenience Champion</h2>
<p>Tired of bending down to fish out something from the back of the fridge or digging through piles of frozen food? A side-by-side refrigerator might be the answer to your kitchen frustrations. With fresh food on one side and frozen goods on the other, it&rsquo;s designed for those who want equal access to both&mdash;without the gymnastics of reaching into awkward spaces. Whether you&rsquo;re grabbing ingredients for dinner or storing your weekly grocery haul, side-by-sides keep everything neatly within reach. Plus, if you&rsquo;re all about convenience features like ice and water dispensers, this model brings plenty to the table. Let&rsquo;s take a closer look at how it performs in key areas.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Storage Capacity</strong>: You get an even split between fridge and freezer, with plenty of adjustable shelves to keep everything organized.</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility</strong>: Everything&rsquo;s right there at standing height&mdash;no bending or crouching to find your ice cream.</li>
<li><strong>Energy Efficiency</strong>: All those cool extras like ice makers do mean a little more energy use.</li>
<li><strong>Price</strong>: They tend to be on the higher end, but you&rsquo;re paying for features and a stylish look.</li>
<li><strong>Features</strong>: Think built-in ice dispensers, water filters, and even smart controls&mdash;perfect for those who love convenience.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A mother and children cook at a stove; a top freezer fridge is in the background" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_top-freezer-vs-side-by-side_2.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Top Freezer: The Reliable Classic</h2>
<p>Remember the old-school fridge your parents or grandparents had? The top freezer refrigerator is a classic for a reason. It&rsquo;s simple, dependable, and doesn&rsquo;t try to overcomplicate things. With the freezer up top and a spacious fridge below, this design gives you ample room for frozen items, making it ideal for anyone who tends to stock up on frozen meals. It&rsquo;s also a great option if you want a refrigerator that&rsquo;s easy to maintain and won&rsquo;t break the bank. While newer models come packed with tech, sometimes you just need a fridge that works. So, why do top freezers continue to be a kitchen favorite? Let&rsquo;s break it down.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Storage Capacity</strong>: The freezer is on top, giving you more space for frozen goodies, while the fridge is basic but roomy.</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility</strong>: Freezer access is super easy, though you&rsquo;ll have to bend down a bit to reach things in the fridge.</li>
<li><strong>Energy Efficiency</strong>: These models are usually more energy-efficient, thanks to their no-nonsense design.</li>
<li><strong>Price</strong>: They&rsquo;re budget-friendly, making them great for anyone who wants solid performance without spending a fortune.</li>
<li><strong>Features</strong>: Focused on basic functionality with fewer extra features than side-by-side models.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A stainless steel fridge in an empty modern kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_top-freezer-vs-side-by-side_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Which is Right for You?</h2>
<p>Deciding between a side-by-side and a top freezer refrigerator really comes down to your lifestyle and kitchen needs. It&rsquo;s all about how you use your fridge day to day. Are you someone who loves features like filtered water and ice at your fingertips, or do you prefer a simple, budget-friendly appliance that does the basics really well? Here are some common scenarios that might help you figure out which one is the right fit:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Energy Efficiency</strong>: Top freezer models are better if energy consumption is a concern, while side-by-sides might suit those who prioritize added convenience.</li>
<li><strong>Family Size</strong>: Larger families may benefit from the side-by-side's greater organization and capacity, while smaller households can manage with a top freezer.</li>
<li><strong>Kitchen Layout</strong>: Tight on space? The top freezer takes up less room. But if your kitchen&rsquo;s got some extra width, the side-by-side could fit right in.</li>
<li><strong>Lifestyle</strong>: If you love quick access to filtered water and ice or smart features, the side-by-side is a better match. If you&rsquo;re all about simplicity and reliability, stick with the top freezer.</li>
</ol>
<p><img alt="A man and woman open up a black fridge in an appliance showroom" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_top-freezer-vs-side-by-side_4.jpg" /></p>

Refrigerator Face-Off: Is A Top Freezer or Side-by-Side Best For You?

Make National Strawberry Day last all year! Learn tips for freezing strawberries to keep them fresh, juicy, and ready for every season.

<p>We all know this heartbreak all too well... You buy a beautiful carton of strawberries, dreaming of smoothies, shortcakes, and sweet snacks, only to find them sad, mushy, and unrecognizable a few days later. It feels like a race against time! But here&rsquo;s the thing: it doesn&rsquo;t have to be.</p>
<p>Freezing strawberries is a simple, foolproof way to make sure that sweet, juicy flavor sticks around long after their fresh days are numbered. And our experts at&nbsp;Livingood's Appliances & Bedding have all the tips you need to make it happen&mdash;because who doesn&rsquo;t want strawberries ready for every craving, any time of year?</p>
<p><img alt="A woman eats a strawberry in her kitchen with a plate of fruit in front of her." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-freezer-strawberries/Appl_perfect-freezer-strawberries_1.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Why Freezing Strawberries is a Berry Smart Idea</h2>
<p>Strawberries are one of those fruits that feel like a treat every time you eat them. But the downside? They seem to go bad the moment you blink. Freezing them isn&rsquo;t just a smart way to keep them from spoiling&mdash;it opens up a world of possibilities for enjoying their sweet, tangy flavor no matter the season. Whether you&rsquo;re trying to cut back on food waste or stock up during peak season, freezing strawberries is a simple solution with big benefits.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduce waste</strong>: Don&rsquo;t let your strawberries spoil before you can enjoy them. Freezing keeps them fresh and ready for whenever the craving strikes.</li>
<li><strong>Seasonal savings</strong>: Strawberries are often cheaper and tastier in season&mdash;freeze them to enjoy the best flavor year-round.</li>
<li><strong>Always recipe-ready</strong>: Frozen strawberries are perfect for smoothies, baking, and even homemade jams or sauces.</li>
<li><strong>Savor summer all year</strong>: With frozen strawberries, the sweetness of summer can brighten even the coldest winter day.</li>
</ul>

<h2>The Sweet Start: Prepping Your Strawberries</h2>
<p>Freezing strawberries isn&rsquo;t as simple as tossing them into a bag and hoping for the best. A little prep work goes a long way toward keeping them fresh, flavorful, and freezer-ready. The good news? It&rsquo;s quick, easy, and worth every minute once you have perfectly preserved berries waiting for you later!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pick the best berries</strong>: Choose fully ripe strawberries, bright red, and free from bruises or soft spots. The fresher the berries, the better they&rsquo;ll freeze!</li>
<li><strong>Wash and dry thoroughly</strong>: Gently rinse the strawberries in cool water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Any leftover moisture can cause ice crystals to form, which impacts the texture.</li>
<li><strong>Hull them</strong>: Remove the green tops and stems using a small paring knife or a hulling tool. You can even use a straw to push the stem out for an easy trick!</li>
<li><strong>Slice or keep whole</strong>: Decide how you want to use your strawberries later. Whole strawberries work well for baking and snacking, while sliced strawberries are perfect for smoothies or recipes that call for smaller pieces.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A large Ziploc bag of frozen strawberries spills onto a surface." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-freezer-strawberries/Appl_perfect-freezer-strawberries_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Chill Out: Step-by-Step Guide to Freeze Strawberries</h2>
<p>Now that your strawberries are washed, hulled, and ready to go, it&rsquo;s time for the fun part: freezing them! But there&rsquo;s a method to the madness&mdash;freeze them the wrong way, and you might end up with one giant berry block. Follow these simple steps to keep your strawberries fresh, flavorful, and easy to use later.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Flash freeze first</strong>: Lay the strawberries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from clumping together as they freeze.</li>
<li><strong>Freeze until firm</strong>: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the strawberries freeze for 2&ndash;4 hours or until they&rsquo;re solid.</li>
<li><strong>Transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags</strong>: Once frozen, place the berries in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.</li>
<li><strong>Label with the date</strong>: Don&rsquo;t skip this step! Frozen strawberries are best when used within 6&ndash;12 months, and labeling helps you keep track of when you froze them.</li>
</ul>
<p>

<strong>Pro Tip:</strong>
<br>
Coating the strawberries in sugar before freezing can help preserve maximum flavor! This works especially well if you plan to use the berries in desserts or sauces!

<h2>Cool Tips: Keeping Your Freezer Strawberry-Ready</h2>
<p>A good freezer is like a time machine for your food, but only if you know how to use it. The right freezer techniques make all the difference when it comes to keeping your strawberries fresh and delicious. Avoid the dreaded freezer burn and keep your berries in top shape with these simple tips!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Set the right temperature</strong>: To maintain quality, keep your freezer at 0&deg;F (-18&deg;C) or below. Anything warmer can affect the flavor and texture of your berries.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid overpacking your freezer</strong>: A full freezer works better than an empty one, but don&rsquo;t overcrowd it! Allow airflow to keep everything frozen evenly.</li>
<li><strong>Freeze in portions</strong>: Pack strawberries in smaller, recipe-ready portions to make thawing easier and prevent waste.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Fun Fact:</strong>
<br>
Did you know adding too many fresh items at the same time can raise the freezer temperature and slow the freezing process? This can affect the quality of everything inside! Freeze your strawberries in smaller rounds for the best results.

<h2>Defrost Like a Boss</h2>
<p>Thawing frozen strawberries might seem like the easiest part of the process, but doing it wrong can turn those vibrant, juicy berries into a mushy disappointment. The key is to thaw them carefully, depending on how you plan to use them. Whether you&rsquo;re prepping for a smoothie or a sweet dessert, a little know-how goes a long way toward preserving their flavor and texture.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>In the fridge</strong>: Place the strawberries in a bowl and let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator. This method keeps them firm and flavorful, making it perfect for desserts or snacking.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid the microwave</strong>: While a quick microwave thaw might be tempting, it often results in unevenly thawed berries with a mushy texture. If you must, use the defrost setting and check frequently.</li>
<li><strong>Catch the juice</strong>: Thawed strawberries release natural juices packed with flavor. Save this liquid for sauces, drinks, or as a drizzle over desserts.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Keep Calm and Berry On</h2>
<p>Freezing strawberries isn&rsquo;t just a way to save them from the trash&mdash;it&rsquo;s a way to savor their sweetness all year long, no matter the season. Whether preserving a batch of summer&rsquo;s best or stocking up during a sale, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.livingoodsonline.com/catalog/freezers" target="_blank">freezer</a></span> is your ultimate tool for keeping strawberries fresh and ready.</p>
<p>If your freezer is running out of room or you could use more organization opportunities, our experts at&nbsp;Livingood's Appliances & Bedding are here to help. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.livingoodsonline.com/contacts" target="_blank">Stop by to chat</a></span> with us or shop our selection of freezers designed to make food storage easier and more efficient.

<h2>BONUS: Tips to Get the Crispiest Tater Tots</h2>
<p>If your tots aren't crispy enough to rival a potato chip, you're doing them a disservice! The secret to perfect tater tots isn't complicated&mdash;it's all about technique and a little extra attention to detail. Here are some fail-proof tips to make sure your tots come out golden, crunchy, and downright irresistible:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Preheat like you mean it</strong>. Always preheat your oven, air fryer, or skillet to the proper temperature before adding your tots. A hot cooking surface gives them a crispier exterior right from the start.</li>
<li><strong>Don't overcrowd the pan.</strong> Whether you're baking or frying, give your tots room to breathe! Overcrowding traps steam and leaves you with soggy tots.</li>
<li><strong>Use parchment paper or a wire rack</strong>. Baking on parchment prevents sticking, but for the crispest results, try using a wire rack on your baking sheet (this allows heat to circulate evenly around each tot)!</li>
<li><strong>Flip halfway through</strong>. For oven-baked tots, don't skip the mid-cooking flip! This ensures every side gets that perfect golden crunch.</li>
<li><strong>Crank up the heat at the end</strong>. Add a few extra minutes at a slightly higher temperature to really lock in that crispy texture&mdash;just keep an eye on them to avoid burning.</li>
<li><strong>Air fry for the win</strong>. If you have an air fryer, this is the holy grail for tots. You'll get maximum crispiness with minimal effort, and they're done in no time!</li>
</ul>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Pro Tip:</strong>
<br>
For a flavor boost, sprinkle your tots with garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even grated parmesan right after cooking. They'll stay crispy while soaking up all that extra seasoning! 
  </blockquote>

Tots of Flavor: 7 Irresistible Recipes ( + Bonus Spud-tastic Tips!)

Ready to upgrade your appliances? Don't just buy the first thing that looks good! First, ask yourself a few key questions like these. You won’t regret it!

<p>Buying new appliances can feel like a real chore, especially if you don't get it right the first time! We've all been there, right? It's so easy to be drawn to the shiniest, latest model. But hold on! You've got some important questions to ask yourself first.</p>
<p>From figuring out your budget to deciding on the right features, answering these crucial questions can transform your appliance shopping experience. Let's dive in!</p>
<h2>1. What's my budget?</h2>
<p><img alt="Closeup of someone paying for something online with a credit card; budget concept" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q3_2023/App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_1.jpg" title="App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_1.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>When setting your budget, consider what you expect from your new appliances. If you dream of smart features, hidden gadgets, and the latest technology, be prepared to invest a little more. On the other hand, if you're after the basics &mdash;appliances that do their job reliably without any unnecessary frills &mdash; you'll find plenty of options at more affordable prices.</p>
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> There are features for every budget, so make sure to research carefully!</p>
<h2>2. How much space do I have?</h2>
<p>Before you get excited and purchase that double-door fridge with an icemaker or six-burner gas range, let's talk about space. It's essential to measure your kitchen space before heading out to shop, or you might end up with a shiny appliance that doesn't fit your layout, or worse &mdash; it won't fit through the door!</p>
<p>So, measure your doorways, hallways, and where the appliance will go (at least twice) and consider the layout (which way the door will open). Remember, your appliances need to fit not just physically but also visually. So, always follow the golden rule: measure twice to buy only once!</p>
<h2>3. What storage capacity do I need?</h2>
<p><img alt="Woman and her dog seeing what they have in the fridge; storage capacity concept" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q3_2023/App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_2.jpg" title=" App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_2.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Every appliance has the capacity of whatever food or laundry it can handle, but how much do you need? You might think the biggest capacity is best, but it depends on how often you use the appliance and your everyday needs. However, if you cook often or have a large family, the bigger-capacity appliances will do the trick. But if you're more of a takeout master, then smaller capacities will do.</p>
<p>The bottom line is, buy for your needs, not for the maximum capacity an appliance can handle. It's not a bargain if you're paying for extra capacity you won't use!</p>
<h2>4. Should all my appliances have a matching finish?</h2>
<p>The finish of your appliances might seem minor, but it can make a big difference in your kitchen's overall look. So, it's important to consider matching appliances and your current kitchen style! If you have a modern, minimalist vibe, sleek and simple finishes might be your best bet. But if you're more into the rustic, farmhouse style, consider finishes that add a bit of charm and character.</p>
<p>Since you'll live with these appliances for years, choosing a finish you'll love long-term is vital. It's not just about what's trendy now; it's about what will make you happy every time you walk into your kitchen.</p>
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> You can also look for kitchen appliances with custom panels that match your cabinetry so they hide in plain sight!</p>
<h2>5. What features should I get?</h2>
<p><img alt="Woman using her smartphone to operate her smart oven" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q3_2023/App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_3.jpg" title="App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_3.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Another thing to ask yourself when shopping for appliances is what features you should get. Do you want the latest features like air fry or smart settings? Or do you only want the basics? The price point varies for each, but evaluating the benefits of certain features is essential.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Air Fry:</strong> This feature, found in some ovens and microwaves, allows you to get that crispy fried texture with hot air instead of oil, offering a healthier alternative.</li>
<li><strong>Eco Settings:</strong> Available in many dishwashers and laundry appliances, these settings are designed to conserve energy and water, helping you do your part for the planet.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Features:</strong> These allow you to connect your appliances to your smartphone or tablet. Think of preheating your oven from the grocery store or getting a notification when your laundry is done.</li>
<li><strong>Door Open Sensors:</strong> usually found in some refrigerators, door open alerts will emit a sound or drop an alert on your phone when the fridge door has been open too long!</li>
</ul>
<p>There are several other features, so keep your lifestyle in mind and see which ones help streamline your daily chores!</p>
<h2>6. Should I buy all my kitchen appliances at once?</h2>
<p>Is it worth buying all your kitchen appliances in one go? Absolutely. With appliance packages, you get your appliances from the same brand and matching finish, which means a shorter learning curve and an instant design. And as a bonus, some of these packages come at a discounted price than if you bought everything individually &mdash; now that's worth it!</p>
<h2>7. Should I invest in energy-efficient appliances?</h2>
<p>Absolutely! Investing in energy-efficient appliances is a smart move. Not only do these devices use less energy, which is great for the environment, but they can also help you save on your energy bills in the long run.</p>
<p>Features like eco modes on dishwashers, laundry appliances, or Energy Star-certified devices are key considerations. While they might cost a bit more upfront, the long-term savings and benefits to our planet make them worth the investment!</p>
<h2>8. Should I read the reviews?</h2>
<p><img alt="Woman checking out reviews on her phone" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q3_2023/App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_4.jpg" title="App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_4.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>You should always read the reviews before making any major purchase &mdash; it makes the best sense! When you read reviews, you can see what potential problems an appliance could have, the features that someone loved (or hated&mdash;it happens), and comparison shop different models!</p>
<h2>9. How do I dispose of my old appliances?</h2>
<p>Once you've narrowed your choices, it's finally time to upgrade, but what do you do with your old appliances? It depends on their condition and what's available to you. Some retailers offer a haul-away option (usually for extra cash), while some municipalities provide curbside pickup. But if your appliances are in good condition, you can always donate them to a local charity or resell them!</p>
<h2>Time to Shop!</h2>
<p><img alt="Couple shopping for a new washing machine" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q3_2023/App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_5.jpg" title="App_Appliance-Shopping-FAQs_5.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>As you can see, choosing the right appliances doesn't have to be daunting &mdash; you just need to go in more informed! So, if you're ready to upgrade your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.livingoodsonline.com/catalog/appliances/" target="_blank">appliances</a></span>, Livingood's Appliances & Bedding has what you need!
