Kitchen Appliance size incompatible with Appliance Garages
Comments (0)I Believe Kitchen Appliance manufacturers may be, out of ignorance, limiting their market share in removing model sizes compatible with Appliance Garage size Generally 10+" deep by 14+" high (tambor door)and 24+" wide.I believe the model unavailability is reducing kitchen garage popularity in response to the appropriate model size availabilities. I believe that any manufacturer advertising appliance model size options compatible with fitting in appliance garages to help people keep their counter tops uncluttered, with a quality appliance will not capture market attention as being attentive to the needs of the customer and dramatically increase sales. For some it only meas re-introducing prior, appropriately sized models with possible minor cosmetic changes. I have encountered this issue in replacing a toaster oven where, after extensive internet search, found only one an Elite cuisine two slice from Amazon (predominantly used in small kitchens and mobile homes. Prior to this I had GE/Black & Decker and other brands that were no more than 10+ inches deep. I also could only find one cone filter Auto-drip coffer-maker to replace my Braun "Aromaster" that was less than 14+' tall. It is a 12 cup Hamilton Beach and does not allow an option of a "permanent" type filter as the Aromaster did. Those of you share this concern, please, help in getting this into public discourse. Noting public trends in designing kitchens in stating kitchen garages are less popular doe us an injustice, as it does not look into the potential and likely causes of them. I believe it is the easy way of dealing with inconveniences, just adapting too them. Eventually, somebody will capitalize on meeting needs. In this case minimizing kitchen clutter and maintaining convenient access to storage and use of our kitchen appliances....See MoreQuirky appliance garage and spice pullout (pics)
Comments (12)jterrilynn: That's more or less a medium cherry with an ebony wash on the cabinets. (And it is very nice.) plllog: Nope, that pillar is for design purposes only. It does not hold up anything. Our designer, who correctly called very other decision, felt it was needed to anchor that peninsula. It's not an island, and the ceiling squares off. The dropped ceiling was needed for plumbing reasons. On the grainte: The fabricator had never seen a notched in job like this, but was game and did a great job. A seam would not have been a big deal really, but he did it according to the design....See MoreAppliance garage door dilemma
Comments (14)The issue is the overall width here. It’s too wide to work well with that type of hardware. I highly recommend either the Hafele coplanar sliding door hardware, where you open half at a time, or their lift and stay hardware, and split the opening horizontally. I don’t recommend bifold doors at all . They are always in the way. Pocket doors are good, but they mostly stay open in most people’s kitchens. Which is opposite of Lucky’s experience with them! https://www.hafele.com/us/en/product/coplanar-sliding-door-hardware-slider-m-50-set/0000001100026dc600070023/ https://www.hafele.com/us/en/product/lid-stay-flap-stay-haefele-duo-standard-complete-set/000000010001c65c00010023/ https://www.hafele.com/us/en/product/lift-up-fitting-haefele-strato/0000005f000294fa00060023/...See Moresoft close appliance garage pocket doors for cabinets?
Comments (8)I had an appliance garage a couple of kitchens ago. The doors ended up staying open 95% of the time. The doors also cut into the usable space of the interior of the appliance garage. I ended up concluding that the appliance garage was an expensive waste, and would not have one again....See More2LittleFishies
