Top loader vs front loader – how do these two machines come out in the wash?

Top loaders like the Euro Appliances 7kg Top loader washing machine are a traditional choice and remain popular in households Australia wide, for a whole range of reasons.

• Top loaders usually have faster cycle times and don’t require special detergents.
• You can add clothes at any stage during the washing cycle.
• They don’t require you to crouch down to load and unload clothes.
• Top loaders are generally cheaper to buy than front loaders.

Front loaders like the Euro Appliances 7.5 Kg Washer / 1400rpm are modern by design, and that generally means they come with added features.

• Front loaders are usually more water efficient and require less detergent.
• They are also smaller, so require less space.
• Front loaders are often gentler on clothes and have a greater washing capacity because they don’t have an agitator in the bowl like top loaders do.
• They are typically much quieter during the wash cycle.

Turn up the heat in the kitchen with the right cooktop choice – gas vs induction vs ceramic

Gas cooktops give you instant heat, great control and don’t require you to buy any speciality cookware. They can include features such as wok burners, which are great for cooking stir-fries, just like the Kleenmaid 90cm Gas Cooktop with Wok Stainless Steel in Stainless Steel . The burners on gas cooktops are connected directly to the main gas supply in your house and an electronic ignition system lights the gas and creates the blue flame.

Looking for something freestanding in gas? Check out the retro Euro Appliances 90cm Freestanding Dual Royal Chiantishire Oven or the modern Euro Appliances 90cm Freestanding Electric Oven & Gas hob + Cast Iron Trivets + FFD .

Induction cooktops are known for their superior performance and stylish design, just like the Euro Appliances 30cm INDUCTION Touch control ceran glass FULL FLEXI ZONE . Induction is the fastest cooking method as the electromagnetic field heats the pan instantly, but special cookware is required. These cooktops offer just as much control as gas and have a continuous, smooth cooking surface with almost no residue traps, so they’re very easy to clean.

Ceramic cooktops also offer a smooth surface that complements a modern kitchen design and offers easy cleaning. They have coiled metal elements under the glass surface and are particularly useful for cooking foods that require very low temperatures, like melting chocolate. The Kleenmaid 60cm Ceramic Cooktop Black in Black is a real stand out in the ceramic cooktop appliances space.

Wrangling rangehoods – should you go canopy or concealed?

Canopy rangehoods like the Euro Appliances 60cm Canopy-Straight 3 Speed ,1150m3/hr High Extraction , LED Lights Baffle filters are well known for their superior extraction capabilities, but that’s not all.

• They make a stylish and bold addition to any kitchen as they have no kitchen cabinetry above.
• They are great at mitigating cooking odours and heat.
• They are very easy to clean.

While the concealed rangehoods like the Kleenmaid 60cm Concealed Slideout Rangehood Stainless Steel in Stainless Steel seamlessly integrate into your kitchen design and offer a minimalist aesthetic.

• They are simple, cost effective and compact.
• They work with every design style – from country to Scandi, traditional and modern.
• They too offer excellent extraction capabilities.
  

Stand out with stand-out extras that add to your kitchen’s function and design
