Quality Kitchens Can Help Your Home Sell

Believe it or not, having a quality kitchen hosting state-of-the-art appliances and other high-end accouterments can attract potential home buyers and clinch a sale. I would be delighted to list a home with the so-called “smart appliances” and connected systems being unveiled this week at CES. Think smart ovens, refrigerators, thermostats, and everything in between. The International CES is the world’s gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. Held in Las Vegas every year, it has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for more than 40 years.
What caught my eye this year is the new “Chef Collection” suite of kitchen appliances from Samsung. Let’s begin with the refrigerator. With 33.3-cubic-foot capacity, the Chef Collection 4-Door Refrigerator is about as roomy as you’ll find. A Triple Cooling System creates three separate airflows in the refrigerator and freezer sections for optimal humidity control. This system also allows the temperature of the bottom right compartment to be adjusted to fit your needs, whether you’re freezing fish or chilling Chardonnay.
Then there’s what the company calls its “game changer,” a dishwasher featuring a sleek, stainless steel finish and reinvented washing mechanics. This entirely new approach to cleaning is called a “WaterWall.” Instead of a revolving circle of jets, WaterWall uses a linear wall of water which sweeps back and forth during the wash cycle.
The Chef Collection Electric Slide-In Range has the ability to simultaneously cook two different dishes at two different temperatures, offering cooks greater oven control, more precise temperature regulation, and better overall ease of use. There’s also a matching over-the-range Chef Collection microwave.
I am really impressed with all the smart appliances and connected systems available today. Wouldn’t you as a home buyer be impressed if you saw a listing featuring a quality kitchen containing these impressive appliances?
