Hurricane Fiona left me without power for enough time to realize how convenient my kitchen appliances really are. It got me thinking about appliance placement and I hope you find it helpful.
Excuse the noise of generators in the background. I had to shoot this one outside as there was no power for lights. Thankfully, we only lost power and not our house, as many people have in my community. The Atlantic provinces of Canada need a little extra support right now, so please keep us in your prayers.

Glad you guys are safe! First thing that goes when disaster strikes, is definitely convenience.
Glad to see you are all safe. Great tips Mark! You looked really worried at the end of your video. Mark, prays for you all🙏
Prayers for your family, community and you. Stay safe and stay strong. ❤from a Canadian neighbour.
I hope your power will be restored soon. Glad you are safe. Very good advice on appliance placement. I love having my oven and my range top split up. I would also highly recommend venting to the outside. Whatever it costs, it is worth it in my opinion.
Glad to know you are all safe and back to kitchen design amid the hurricane recovery.
Hurricane in Canada, totally crazy for sure! Glad to hear you are safe and only lost power. Great tips for the appliances!
Hey Gabe! Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment!!
So sorry you lost power. Glad you were able to still function. Thanks so much for these tips, very useful information. Be well.
stay safe! as a girl from the Canadian prairies, I agree with you 100% about blizzards!
I’ll echo everyone else and express my gratitude that and your family are safe. I hope you and your neighbors are able to recover soon.
Glad to see you all safe. I hope that things get back to like where it was before as quickly and as possible.🙏🏽
Totally agree about, HELLO, I do snow! What the heck is this?!? So not cool, hurricanes. 👎👎. But, I am wholeheartedly thankful you and your family are well. Thanks for the great tips on this video! Stay safe.
Wonderful to see your on video this week. So glad you are all safe. We just survived Cat 5 hurricane Ian--so I can empathize. Stay safe!
Great video on appliances thank you for taking the time to do that during this upheaval. Praying you & your family.
Glad to hear that you and your family are making the best of it. Hope this is over soon. 🙏
So glad you all are unharmed. I lived for years as a kid in Mississippi and South Georgia, so hurricanes I’m used to. These days, in Tennessee, it’s tornados - not a fan!
I was in Clarke county MS for Camille, TS Alberto 1994 rained itself out over Atlanta Hartsfield airport(17 inches of rain in less than 24 hours) and all the residents downstream on the Flint River could do was watch the water come. I was in Tennessee for the tornado super-outbreak of 1-4 April, 1974, and don't even ask why I spent the winter of 2009 under a blue tarp because of a tree falling on the house.
Greetings from the other hurricane 🌀. Glad you’re safe and prepared with camping gear!
Thanks Liz! Hope all is well on your end!
Great tips! So glad y’all are safe! Love your videos!❤️❤️❤️
Still working hard, glad to know that your still okay and that you can still est..
So glad you guys are safe. Nice office view 😊
When it comes to placement of appliances I found it function over fashion is the best rule,for me it’s fridge,counter space ,sink, counter space,range ,oven,counter space.
Great vid beh! Sorry to hear about the hurricane! Hope you guys are ok!
Good job Mark (as always) stay safe 🙏🏻
When placing a wall oven next to a refrigerator do watch the clearances that the fridge does not hit the oven handles when opening. Spacers may be required, better yet a Pantry between the units
Glad you all are okay!
Good channel - plus it's Canadian so will apply to our national codes; provincial codes notwithstanding.
I have trouble seeing the panel on a microwave that is placed beneath the counter. I like that they're out of the way when placed there, but just not functional for eyes that are...shall I say...aging 😊
Same goes for oven placement - in the wall - I had one in my early-mid twenties and still my favourite location.
Yay‼️🌸 You and your family doing great. Have you heard of Danby freezerless fridge? Have best weekend you are able to have. Hope Gammy is ok too💐💐💐
Good to see you're safe. Isn't a blizzard just a cold hurricane? 🤣
Omgosh, I hope all is well after the storm Mark.
Really surprised to hear that it’s not an issue to place ovens directly next to a fridge!
Great advice. Practical.
Glad you are okay…
Thank you for this valuable information on appliance placement. One thing I've read in several different articles about dishwashers is that if you are right handed the dishwasher should be placed on the left of the sink and left handed people feel more comfortable with it being on the right. I looked into this only because my husband wants to put it on the right in our new kitchen remodel but it interferes with a walkway into the kitchen which is one of several reasons why it shouldn't be on the right in my new kitchen. Thanks for all the inspiration in your videos as I am about to embark on a new kitchen remodel.
I've heard that theory too. I don't buy it. We are all right handed and our dishwasher is on the left. There has never been an issue with it. My previous kitchen had it on the right. That was fine too. Blocking your walkway is more important to consider then whether it's on the right or left. I'm triggered lol
@@MTKDofficial I suppose that makes more sense that if you are blocking a walkway that's a reason not to have it on the right side in my particular kitchen. I guess it's probably force of habit but I have heard that in several places like Better Homes and Gardens and other kitchen designers, etc. Thanks for your input. My husband will be happy to hear your take on it.
Yo slick! Glad you and family are safe. I’m sure if you had a Over the range mircowave all would be be good
Thanks for the video. I have been wondering how you and your family fared in the hurricane. Glad Ian didn't come your way as well
Put a dishwasher next to the sink?
Put it next to a cabinet for your plates and cutlery.
Don't put the fridge next to the oven or microwave that swings outward or you will eventually end up with a gash in your fridge stainless door-panel like i had in my house was when I moved in
Can you please look into Misen En Place , a French term means being prepared by having everything in it’s place) for full function
Cool. That sounds like a great topic to explore. Thank you!
Apparently ventilation around a fridge standing next to oven is different from ventilation around the fridge standing away from oven. Have you seen any number showing that a fridge located next to oven would work with the same efficiency as fridge standing away from oven?
I haven't seen any data for that, but it's not something I looked for either. I imagine the manufacturers would provide some efficiency numbers depending on installation type.
I don't have the extra space for a separate wall oven and cooktop, but I'm getting too less-than-limber to bend down for the oven. By shuffling some storage and placing the warming drawer under the cooktop and splitting the level of the countertop so the oven will be under a 48-inch-high countertop at the end of the cabinet run on the end away from the fridge (I have a dog-trop-type galley) I solve that problem. The toaster-oven, can opener, and other small electrics can go on the high counter.
I love hearing how people make the best function out of their spaces! Cool.
Great video. Im struggling on where to put my coffee machine and toaster. I have large kitchen
Yeah those two appliances are so frequently used that they beg to be left on the counter. But then it can look cluttered or take up valuable space on the surface. I feel you. I keep my coffee maker out and my toaster in a wall cabinet.
It is an issue for me too. To keep a coffee machine out if two people use it at least five times a day is not a workable solution.
Two thoughts: #1 PLAN where you will put your kitchen garbage. #2 Optimize view from sink--under a window is ideal.
Then you need to clean the window every day.
Microwave ...I like it as a vent.. is that so wrong?
Yes!! Hahah. Kidding.
This sucks. Not the video, but that a nice guy like you has to go through this with your family. Hope this is a distant memory soon
