What household appliances to buy for a new apartment. What technology can you not do without? From spiritual food to the urgent needs of housewives

Think for yourself - what is the hardest thing to do without? Without a microwave or multicooker? Without washing machine or a vacuum cleaner? Without a coffee maker? After a sound assessment, we can assume that for the majority the answer will be the same: the most necessary thing from all household appliances, small or large, will be called a refrigerator. Indeed, the most difficult thing to do without is a refrigerator. So, when entering new apartment, don’t spend money on sets of household appliances, but just buy this useful unit.

Please note that most often the developer rents out apartments already equipped with gas or electric stoves, and when buying housing on the secondary market, the former owners leave the slabs to the buyer. Otherwise, you will have to worry about buying an inexpensive stove.

Not the most economical option

If you have a certain amount of money that you can spend on arranging your home, you should buy the following equipment:

Fridge,

Microwave (it is much more convenient to heat ready-made food or drinks in it than on a regular stove),

Washing machine,

Hood (the kitchen needs fresh and clean air),

Vacuum cleaner (worth buying if you have already installed chairs, sofas, carpets or rugs).

The equipment does not have to be the most expensive and with maximum number functions. But already with this kit you save a large number of energy and time that can be devoted further arrangement life, work, loved ones.

The most uneconomical option

Well, there is no limit to imagination here, but I would like to highlight some units that are undoubtedly needed by modern people:

Boiler (in case of shutdown hot water, because it’s so uncomfortable to wash with cold or heat in a saucepan),

Freezer (many housewives have already learned how convenient it is to freeze vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as ready-made dishes),

Dryer (with this device there are no wet clothes hanging all over the bathroom or pantry),

Air conditioning (it’s nice to customize your personal climate in the apartment no matter the weather outside),

Small household appliances, such as a blender, coffee maker, etc., because cooking with them is much faster,

A washing vacuum cleaner (be sure to buy it if you are installing carpet).

Is giving a washing machine banal and unromantic? Not at all, if it's 1874 and none of your wife's friends have such a device. At the end of the nineteenth century there was something of an inventive boom, and there were a lot of designs for washing machines. One of the patents was registered in the United States by a certain William Blackstone from Indiana - he was producing machines for processing corn and designed a washing machine as a gift to his wife. By the time his brainchild was created with a wooden drum and manual drive (obviously, at the same time the machine successfully replaced his wife Gym) several hundred patents for the invention of washing machines had already been filed in the States, but Blackstone managed to establish mass production of his invention. He moved to New York and opened a washing machine factory there, and until the invention of the electric washing machine in 1908, his model was in demand (although even after that - electric cars were expensive and did not soon go into mass production).

From spiritual food to the urgent needs of housewives

The desire to help his beloved wife inspired the famous Austrian designer Peter Mitterhofer, who lived and worked in the second half of the nineteenth century and famous for invention typewriter, to create mechanical meat grinder: Before this, a special curved two-handed knife was used to prepare minced meat and chopped cutlets. Before Mitterhofer, however, a rather primitive design of a meat grinder was already known, but the product of the Austrian inventor was more thoughtful.

A woman appreciated her first vacuum cleaner

And it even bears her name, or rather, the name of her husband, William H. Hoover: he bought the patent thanks to his wife Susan, who believed in the potential of the invention, conducted the first tests at home and, in general, inspired her husband to improve the vacuum cleaner and establish mass production. It was like this: a certain Murray Spangler, a doorman from Canton, small town in Ohio, suffered from asthma and wanted to find a solution to this problem. He assembled his first home vacuum cleaner (before that there were large devices that ran on steam and gasoline) from improvised means: a soap dish, a fan (motor and air blower), a silk pillowcase (he didn’t spare it for the dust bag) and a broom handle. Murray decided to get the opinion of his friend (according to other sources, a relative) Susan Hoover, who was married to a local businessman who produced and sold leather goods in Canton. She tested the prototype at home for several days and was convinced that it worked. Susan told her husband about this, and Mr. Hoover was so inspired that he bought Spangler's patent and began making vacuum cleaners right in his shop, improving the materials and process along the way. A year later, in 1908, the Hoover Company was founded.

Regardless of desire, the kitchen is a place where everyone has to go quite often, so it should, first of all, be comfortable and well planned not only in terms of design, but also in the arrangement of household appliances. Today, the variety of kitchen equipment is dizzying. Let's consider what is necessary in the modern household arsenal, and what can be safely abandoned.

Household appliances for the kitchen in Yekaterinburg

The most common and widely represented in any family are:

Gas or electric stove

Fridge

Electric kettle

Microwave

Electric meat grinder

Mixer or blender

The kitchen is a leader in electricity consumption and the number of sockets, so cluttering it with various, essentially unnecessary appliances, especially when small areas– this is not rational. Let's consider household items that go beyond the standard understanding kitchen equipment, let’s look at them in more detail and decide whether they are really necessary:

1. Bread machine

It made a confident start in the market and continues to gain leading positions. It has undeniable advantages in regularity of use:

You need bread every day and homemade bread is much healthier and cheaper than store-bought bread;

for kneading any type of dough;

there are modes for rich muffins and rolls;

Some models, in addition to the main function, can bake a French baguette or make fruit jam.

2. Food processor

You should take into account the abundance of its constituent elements and how regularly you will use them; perhaps a simple mixer or blender will replace its multi-element counterpart collecting dust in a drawer.

3. Multicooker

Modern assistant busy people not inclined towards cooking. We load the products, set the mode and at the exit we get food according to the pre-selected recipe. Usually used to prepare a variety of cereals. On this moment In addition to the traditional recipes included in the instructions, there are big choice alternative ones, allowing you to create real culinary masterpieces in a slow cooker if desired.

4. Steamer

Serves for steaming dietary food, preserving its natural ingredients. The food turns out soft, tender and low-fat. This unit is popular with young parents, athletes and people suffering from digestive disorders.

5. Yogurt maker

Belongs to the dietary series - this device prepares yoghurts based on starter cultures. Before purchasing - evaluate the taste homemade yogurt, since it is significantly different from the store one and may not be to your liking.

6. Dryer

It is in demand among fans of winter preparations - it makes dried fruits and allows you to make unique desserts.

In fact, the list could go on for a very long time:

juicers,

waffle irons,

egg boilers,

pancake makers,

sandwich makers,

toasters, roll-rollers, pineapple peelers and the like.

Built-in kitchen appliances

Modern appliances can be integrated into any kitchen design; no one is surprised by hidden hoods, refrigerators, ovens And microwaves. At first glance, they may not even be found. The “Kitchen Center” shopping complex on Moskovskaya Gorka features wide choose goods for every taste and income.

Select built-in hob(gas or eclectic) depends on the layout and design of the room, this also includes a hood - this equipment is mandatory, and there are also things that you can do without, for example, a dishwasher.

It is the one that generates the most controversy. If the family is large and a large number of dishes accumulate per day, then this perfect option, especially since a person simply cannot wash it with such quality as after a car. If the family is small and household members spend almost all their time at work, then the dishes can easily be handled by hand. It will be useful only, perhaps, on a crowded holiday, and the rest of the time it will be idle, since starting the machine because of a couple of plates is economically unprofitable due to the excessive consumption of water and electricity.

All of the above devices are not cheap and take up a significant area, but the main thing to remember is Golden Rule: do not buy something that you doubt is useful.
