We’re starting to move into the future for appliances and electronics. Gone are the days of boring stoves and refrigerators that simply cook and chill –okay, well maybe those days aren’t totally gone. Many people still opt for normal, everyday appliances, but if you’re a fan of all things high-tech and smart home, you’ve probably noticed the influx of new appliances on the market. Some seem really useful while others are downright superfluous. When you start building your Maryland custom home, you need to start shopping for appliances and figure out what style you’re going with in your new home. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most high-tech appliances on the market right now so you can get an idea of what is up and coming in the custom home world.
- Induction cooktops – For people who spend a lot of time cooking and have children, this is a great new spin on an old appliance. The use of a magnetic field to transfer heat to the base of a pot means that the only part of the cooktop that actually gets hot is the part right below the pot. It’s convenient if you’ve got young children who have a tendency to try to touch the stove, or even if you occasionally make the mistake of placing a plastic bag on the cooktop. With an induction stove, the plastic won’t get hot enough to melt.
- Smart Refrigerator – You know how you sometimes get to the grocery store and realize that you left the whole grocery list at home? New high-tech refrigerators stop this from being a problem. Many are now able to be connected to the internet or directly to your smart phone so that you can get your list on the go. There are also now gadgets that allow you to scan the barcode on your groceries, so if you get down to the last can of chicken noodle soup, you can scan it and upload directly to your local grocery store. Place the order when you’re ready and you don’t even have to worry about going to the store.
- Smart Microwave – Popcorn is one of the biggest hassles of all, but even soup can be difficult to time right in the microwave. New smart microwaves come with a barcode scanner that will take the information from whatever you want to cook and cook it for precisely the right time. Microwaves have come a LONG way.
Now you’re ready to plan out all of your appliances for your new Maryland custom home. Shopping around and seeing what time of technological advances are out there is the fun part!
