Kitchen Appliances

Kitchen appliances make up the vast majority of common household appliances. Refrigerators and cooking ranges are found in nearly every home. Smaller items like coffee makers and food processors are also quite common.

The refrigerator is generally the most used kitchen appliance in the average home. Energy efficiency is an important aspect of a refrigerator, as they are constantly “running” and are therefore responsible for the bulk of a kitchen’s energy consumption. Modern refrigerators use considerably less energy than those of just a decade ago.

Cooking ranges and microwave ovens are also common kitchen appliances. Cooking ranges come in both electric and natural gas varieties. Electric ranges today use much less electricity than those of the past.
