More recently, built-in kitchen appliances were a great luxury. But times have changed, and you can't do without it in modern kitchens. In addition, many ordinary people prefer it to her, believing that such models save the interior space of the room. They are right, so in this article we will talk about this topic.
Built-in household appliances in the kitchen
Types of built-in appliances
The modern home appliance market offers a huge range of built-in counterparts, which are popular and in demand today. It is necessary to note here, probably, the entire proposed range.
- Ovens and hobs (electric and gas);
- Dishwashers and refrigerators;
- Microwaves and hoods;
- Grill and deep fryers;
- Food processors and barbecue.
Some ordinary people manage to shove washing machines into the kitchen. And although it is difficult to attribute them to kitchen appliances, manufacturers still offer a built-in option.
Hobs and ovens
The stove is the heart of the kitchen. Of course, the classic is a free-standing device. But manufacturers have recently begun to offer built-in models as well. Demand creates supply, so the question of how to choose is very relevant today.
Built-in hobs
Currently, the stove and oven can be purchased separately. But the best option is a kit. First, the price is lower. Secondly, it is more convenient both in operation and maintenance. In addition, it should be noted that the oven is usually supplemented with a grill function, which already increases the indicators of functionality and convenience.
And here it is necessary to pay attention to such an indicator as practicality. In principle, the hob and the oven are two household kitchen appliances that are exposed to heavy loads. High temperatures and oily liquids dripping on the surface do their negative thing. Growths, mud scum appear, so it will be difficult to deal with them.
Therefore advice. Try to choose a built-in stove and oven, the surfaces of which are coated with special protective solutions and materials. This will allow quick and easy cleaning with common household detergents.
As for the individual elements, the options for their placement are quite large. Installing the hob separately wherever you want is no problem today. And in this case, the issue of placement is decided on the basis of the indicator of the functionality of the kitchen space itself. For example, the panel can be installed near the window in the place of the window sill, and the oven can be left in the middle of the headset, combining it with other household appliances (deep fryer or grill).
Built-in oven
As for the number of burners, for a large family, you can recommend a stove with five burning points, for a small one with two. By the way, an important factor when choosing is appearance. Currently, manufacturers offer a fairly wide range where you can find glass ceramic panels, stainless steel, and so on.
A little about glass ceramics. Such stoves are usually equipped not with handles that support combustion, but with touch buttons. Plus, this type has special sensors in the design, which are responsible for heating the panel itself. This ensures safe operation (never burn yourself).
And a few words about ovens. Note that its door will always be in sight. And in this regard, your choice should be based not only on the functionality of the device, but also on design. Therefore, you must definitely choose the appearance of the oven so that it fits into the design of the kitchen with built-in household appliances (meaning the headset).
And here the choice will depend on which model you prefer the most: combined with a stove or free-standing. If you choose the first option, then note that the control system for both the oven and the stove will be placed on the oven panel. This is the standard equipment.

Surprisingly, the modern approach to the placement of ovens is based on the fact that the hostess of the house does not bend over during her operation. Therefore, designers try to place it at eye level, since the size and weight of the device today allow it. But here the question arises regarding the heating of external surfaces, especially the door.
Remember! No burns and no fires, because the thermal insulation of the walls is made according to maximum loads (temperatures), the door is supplied with double glass. And there is a ventilation system specially installed in the device, which cools the walls of the oven. This is one hundred percent safety.
This is a very important point for built-in appliances, where the gaps between it and the walls of the kitchen set are minimal, and in some cases are completely absent.
Refrigerators
When choosing a refrigerator, the last thing you need to pay attention to is its appearance. It won't be visible inside the kitchen furniture anyway.
But you will definitely need to pay attention to the following indicators:
- Instrument dimensions. Everything will depend on the number of family members, and how they all eat (in terms of the amount of food consumed).
- If you prefer to prepare products for a long time, then freezer volume will not be of last importance.
- Special attention is paid to functionality. Here you will need easy-to-use shelves, stands, trays, nets and holders.
- Currently, manufacturing companies offer refrigerators with three chambers: refrigeration, freezer and zero temperature.

All other functions are exactly the same as for free-standing units. As you can see, when choosing, you will have to focus on the functionality of the device (see also the article "Kaiser built-in kitchen appliances are the best choice").
Dishwasher
This is the most modern assistant for our lovely ladies in the kitchen. Say what you like, but without it today in modern kitchens, as if without hands. This was fully appreciated by women for whom washing dishes is a continuous hard labor. No manicure, no soft and velvety skin.
With the advent of this unit, the life of women has changed dramatically, which is why this household appliance is currently in very great popularity. Now no one wants to do the dishes with their own hands. But we are talking about built-in household appliances, so it must be said that such an appliance is also present in the category of "dishwashers".
Convenient dishwasher location
In terms of their functional indicators, the two categories do not differ from each other. The built-in dishwasher is usually installed in the headset so that only the control panel remains on the surface, everything else is invisible. This is the optimal solution in order not to disturb the overall picture of the kitchen interior, which is mainly related to furniture (read also about the advantages built-in cooker hood).
Appliances for furniture or furniture for appliances
Everything that was written above concerned only household appliances that are installed inside the kitchen set. But here one very interesting question arises, how you can choose such an element as built-in household kitchen appliances, exactly for the type and design of the kitchen as a whole.
Answering this question, we can say that there are only two ways to solve the problem.
- You order everything in the complex. That is, a headset, refrigerator, stove, oven, extractor hood, etc. Fortunately, many companies present such a service today. The choice of sizes and colors depends on you. The entire selection is made by professionals who work for the supplier of your order.
- You only purchase kitchen furniture. But you do everything else yourself: you run around the shops in search of household appliances, select by color, shape and functionality.

Of course, the first way is much easier, because you practically don't do anything. We made an order, indicated the sizes and background, others will do the rest for you. But do not be offended if you end up not liking a certain model of the device.
In the second case, everything will hang on you. But this option is economical, because you have the opportunity to purchase household appliances, for example, from wholesalers or from a manufacturer.

Conclusion on the topic
It is surprising that this type of household appliances has both its adherents and its enemies. Not everyone likes it. But it is necessary to pay tribute to the fact that it is precisely such devices that have taken root well in small-sized kitchens. Because they practically do not take up space (see also instructions "How to integrate a dishwasher into a finished kitchen").
