- There are tons of appliances on the market, but there are a few in particular people tend to avoid, not because they’re mistakes, but because they’re unnecessary.
You can read a post called 10 Kitchen Renovation Mistakes where you can learn about bad ideas and products you should not buy.
Many products on this list are flagship, highly marketed products boosted by multimillion dollar advertising campaigns, but people don’t buy them because there are better often cheaper alternatives.
In this article, you will learn about products and categories of products people don’t buy and the reasons behind it. You will also learn about different options that may be better.
The appliances and categories we will discuss today are the Samsung Family Hub, Samsung Flex Duo Ranges, Large Laundry Machines, LG SideKick, Miele Rotary Iron, Gas Wall Ovens, Warming Drawers, Trash Compactors, Indoor Grills on Pro Ranges, Outdoor Dishwashers, and Outdoor Beer Taps.
At the end, we will provide a link to our Appliance Buyers Guide with over 60 pages of what appliance, brands, and products you should consider for your new kitchen.
Note: Samsung and LG show up prominently on this list, yet they are the fastest growing brands. They are also the most innovative. Their few misses pale in comparison to their many successful products.

6:25 Summary
Our condo came with a trash compactor and we loved it so much that we replaced it after 17 years of service. It is along walk to the dumpster and we can go up to two weeks before emptying. We've enjoyed it now for thirty years. The recycle bin is near the car park area, so no problem. A compactor may not be good for everyone, but in certain applications it's well appreciated.
It's all about finding what works best for you! Thanks for sharing
As someone who had a kitchen with a wolf griddle on the stove top, I can assure you its more of a hassle than it should be. It seems like a fancy and useful addition to your kitchen but it is very impractical to clean and the heat settings are not super clear. I went back to using pans instead as it is much easier and faster alternative.
I am salesperson here in Toledo Ohio at a company called Durochers Appliances. I purchased the LG washer dryer combo with the Sidekick and the extra pedestal for the dryer. I was going to purchase the new GE front load with the Auto dispenser and tumble dry and blue microban on every. But the LG set I got an amazing deal on it. LG is still one o fly Favorite brands in appliances. I don't think I'm going to use the sidekick much. The only reason I sent a comment on your post here at Yale's UA-cam is this channel is amazing if you are a salesperson, a tech, a delivery guy. He talks about a lot of stuff and is very knowledgeable and I have learned so much watching these videos. thanks
Thank you.....nice of you to say.
I have the large capacity washer/dryer and I love them! I never need to go to the laundromat to wash my bedding and I can get a lot of laundry done at one time, which is great when you have a large family.
Thanks for sharing!!
"Internet ready", "Smart", "WiFi Enabled" all unnecessary, all gimmicks, all vulnerable to hacking and unintended cross-chat with the neighbors' WiFi. If the word 'smart' appears anywhere in the name or description of any appliance or any feature or componeny of the appliance, you can bet it's a dumb buy.
I had the opportunity to buy a stainless warming drawer and matching storage drawers that will take up residence below my gas cooktop when I get to that phase of my kitchen rebuild.
I currently use a countertop convection toaster oven to warm dishes and keep food at serving temp, and it's handy to bake potatoes and heat frozen dinners or other small cooking tasks that don't need the full-size oven.
I have a Jenn-air gas top and electric stove combined for years. Love it!
An observation: any product or appliance advertised as 'smart' or with the word 'smart' in the descriptor of any feature is invariably a dumb purchase.
4:10 As I watch this video, I can glance to a corner of the master bedroom where I am keeping some of the appliances that will be installed upon completion of my kitchen remodel; one of the eBay purchases in the stack is a Bosch 800-series warming drawer. It can keep food at serving temperature while other items are still cooking, warm your dishes for serving your comfort foods (ever plated your meticulously prepared Alfredo on a cold bowl?) , and even provide a temperature setting to proof your yeast doughs. I also have two Bosch stainless steel storage drawers that will be installed in a bank under the warming drawer, under my cooktop.
A warming drawer sounds like something I need. :)
That was really informative. I'm about to invest in an outdoor kitchen and was going to install a dishwasher. Thank you for saving me the money.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm definitely getting a warming drawer. Going to have wall ovens hopefully Miele. I dislike cold plates so heats my plates and keep food warm until I have finished cooking. A must
I like your no bullshit review
I have reviewed many of your videos and your advice is spot on. That said, I'm going to provide a different perspective on the LG Sidekick washing machine. For those not familiar, this is the small 1 cubic foot washing machine (covered in this video) that replaces the typical pedestal for a front loading washer. Yes, it is expensive, and you should only splurge if you will find it truly useful. I inherited one when we purchased our home and I do find that I use it regularly for delicates or for a smaller load of colors that might bleed such as reds or deep blues. It saves time on the washing side and the lack of a Sidekick dryer has not been an issue. The capacity of LG's dryers is so large these days that I might run two loads in the regular and Sidekick washers simultaneously, but toss them both in the dryer together. IF you are a family of 4 or larger and you find yourself running several small loads in a typical week, this is a good solution.
You have to install it properly as well.....Not a given.
Wow! I learned a lot here!! Thnx for the info!! Very informative! Who buys a dishwasher for outside anyway?
It's convenient if you're lucky enough to have a high-end outdoor kitchen!
surprisingly insightful and useful video ! more like this please !
Thank you! Will do!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't know why anyone would want internet on their appliances.
It's not for everyone for sure. Some folks like to have those smart features though.
Very useful info. thank you
You're welcome
I would highly debate that Samsung and LG are the most innovative brands. Both tend to go for 'updates' that are gimmicky rather than actually improving operation. Samsung is horribly plagued with class action lawsuits and poor engineering choices that prevent their appliances from lasting.
They cant provide service to support their exploding demand and popularity...However, both introduced technology and style in appliances while others have followed
I'm planning the kitchen for a new house being built this summer and have eliminated many features that I realized we didn't use enough to justify the cost. The microwave, for example, which took up a ton of space, but was used primarily to rewarm my coffee. (Food I rewarm on the stove). I looked at the French door/bottom freezer refrigerators and felt they were so huge and had such a brutalist design that they would dominate the open floor plan and draw the eye away from my beautiful fireplace. Instead I got a simple 21.6 Cubic Foot refrigerator with a top freezer: no water dispenser (which we never used) and no ice maker (which is noisy and takes up a ton of space compared to a couple of ice trays). All of our appliances are best-selling basic models with the exception of the slide-in gas range and oven, where I added convection baking and an air fryer - and I didn't even want the air fryer, it was the simpler door design I was after. I would rather have more counter and cabinet space than big clunky appliances with complicated features.
Brilliant. Tongue in cheek, but incredibly astute also.
Glad you enjoyed it!
we have a samsung ref that is terrible, the ice maker stopped working, the door rusted due to water issues from the ice maker and the door to the freezer fell off
I like my Washer to be Large and front loading but when looking for a small oven, I needed to search the RV Market and that's a shame. If Washer Pedestals can become small washers then why can't warming drawers become Ovens?
Also, I majored in Electronics for my Bachelor's Degree. You'd think that I would prefer electronics for my appliances but I prefer manual instead. Electronics certainly COULD be robust but they are instead, often the reason people replace their appliances. Don't get me started on Planned Obselescence either.
any significant diffenece between 500 and 800 series refrigerator from bosch. pl advise
The 500 Series French door fridge does not have farm fresh system (upgraded food preservation), is a 70" cutout instead of a 72" and has external ice and water instead of internal on 800 Series.
Nice video ! Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Can you elaborate on when the new Wolf Dual Fuel 48inch range is being released?
Hard to know....should be Q2 this year
You can order the new duel fuel ranges now. I have heard they are shipping in March or April.
Make that Q3
Make that now...
I planned an entire kitchen around the duo oven last year!
Look at GE or Jenn-Air...
Hope you enjoy it!
Our new house had a garbage compactor, we replaced it with a beverage cooler.
Great idea
Nice video
Thanks
I do more roasting than baking. I would love a gas wall oven.
So would most people, but the selection is just not there
For that moister heat, just add a shallow pan of water to your electric oven while roasting.
Get a steam oven with convection for roasting
Do you sell Samsung appliance there?
Yes, we carry Samsung!
@@YaleAppliance1 how is the reliability? I have have heard some bad reviews..
@@rogerwhiting9310 Its good until there is an issue...Then its non existent
Outside dishwasher?!? Wow, talk about a first world product.
Likely not necessary, but could be useful depending how far an outdoor kitchen is from the main kitchen.
I know to avoid GE and Samsung appliances. Have not met anyone that had a good experience with Samsung appliances.
GE used to be the shizzle and in fact, an appliance Service and REmanufacturer recommended GE in a brief list as recently as about a decade ago BUT having worked at GE soon after college, I can assure everyone reading this that Jack Welch took a company that was in the lead across so many product lines of all descriptions and turned the company into a profit growth company so that he and other insiders with as many Stock Options as he had, could become very wealthy. Lather, Rinse, Repeat for the many corporations that followed suit.
Samsung is good at handheld electronics but I've heard other complaints about their appliances.
Would never purchase a Samsung appliance. Yes, their technology is cool but if you ever need a service call it can be very difficult to find a someone to service them or find parts.
I disagree with the LG 5.8 cu ft & Samsung double oven. People nowadays look more fof capacity than technology with LG you will get both we are moving into the digital world
Maybe, but it is deeper than most laundry rooms, and you are paying double for less than 1 cubic foot
Bro i have both, yes they cost a bit more, but does a better job, and my wife and kid will pay more attention when using them compared to my cheap appliances.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Most of these are stuff that I feel like no one ever buys anyway.
Some of it is incredibly popular
Internet connected appliances are generally fussy and no one wants a digital relationship with their appliances
these "smart" appliances are stupid!
