How do you begin looking for new appliances?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

When you begin looking for new kitchen appliances (mixers, blenders, juicers, etc) where do you do your research? What makes that source reliable/trustworthy?

I go to consumer Reports first. They tell you about features you may like and give ratings on the best and worst. I have found their ratings accurate and their information helpful. The only problem is when companies change models too fast Consumer reports needs time to evaluate the product before they will give a rating.

Can an Oscar kitchen center be serviced?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I love my kitchen center, but recently when using the blender and non liquid, it makes a terrible squilling noise at startup and when you end the mixing.
I wasn’t quite awake I meant Oster!
Can I take it a part? What should I look for as a source of the whirring sound?

I didn’t realize Oscar made anything but juicers, but I’m sure the bottom bushing in the blender can be changed at any appliance repair store. They are a less expensive brand so it may be less costly to buy another unit. Oster? There are service/warranty centers all across the US and Canada.

remodeling kitchen what colors should i use…with red.?

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

hello i am remodeling my cottage type home and i recently purchased red kitchen appliances blender, toaster oven, etc just wondering what color would look good with this i want a cottage/country feel thanks.

I’m NOT an interior designer, but I painted my kitchen yellow and used red and royal blue things to decorate. The curtains are a country check, as is the table cloth on the kitchen table. On the table there is a blue pitcher filled with (fake) yellow flowers. My picture frames are blue with red mat board and I used old 1930s magazine ads and reproductions of old posters (like the one reminding children to eat corn mush and save the wheat for the soldiers in WWI) and advertising tins with the right colors. My niece painted her miniscule kitchen royal blue, with sparkling white cabinets and cupboards and small touches of red and yellow and it looked great! Her main color was white but then her authentic old kitchen was so tiny you couldn’t open the oven door if someone was washing dishes "across the room".
