New Appliances That Can Save You Space!

<h1>New Appliances That Can Save You Space!</h1>Author: <a title="Tim Ebl" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/tim-ebl/43341.htm">Tim Ebl</a> When it comes to refrigerators and microwaves, most kitchens are stuck with the old standbys: traditional bulky appliances. Of course, the old fridge is less costly and completely functional. However, it does tend to use up valuable kitchen real estate. 
 
Over the years a lot of thought has gone into new designs that can help you free up some of that space.

Kitchens in small condos and apartments could benefit from items such as under the counter ice makers, refrigeration units, and other appliances. A two drawer fridge the size of a dishwasher might be all that one or two people require. The spot that used to be reserved for a full sized fridge can now be allocated to a pantry or more cabinets and counter top. 
 
As well, some homes could use more refrigerator space but don't have room to upgrade their fridge to a larger model. A section of drawers could be removed and a 2 drawer fridge added. Many of the under counter models have separately controlled compartments for different kinds of foods. 
 
Some stoves can be built into the counter top, and the oven into the cabinets. Microwaves can replace the range hood to save space on the counter and still be in a usable location. The bottom of the microwave has the hood fan and ventilation built into it, thereby getting two jobs done with one item. 
 
Instead of buying an electric kettle to take up counter space, some people install an on demand hot water appliance.
