If you keep searching for ways to save time and energy on daily tasks so you can finally get on top of your household chores, you might be able to reduce your work load by upgrading a few of your household appliances. After you incorporate these five appliances into your daily routines, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them.
1. GE® 2.4 Cu. Ft. Washer-Dryer Combo
Other countries embraced the all-in-one washer-dryer years ago, and thankfully America is finally recognizing the magic within this combination appliance. If you frequently forget to move laundry from the washer to the dryer, upgrading to a washer-dryer combo will change your life. All you have to do is put the clothes in and press start, and this all-in-one appliance will wash your clothes and dry them for you.
*Ted Lasso fans might recognize the brilliant convenience (and space savings!) of a washer-dryer combo from the Amsterdam episode, when Rebecca’s gracious host washes her clothes on his houseboat. Since they don’t have to get up to move her clothes from the washer to the dryer, they enjoy uninterrupted conversation, wine, and dinner, and her clothes are ready to go before she is.
2. Whirlpool® 0.5 HP In-Sink Disposer
This food disposer maintains an impressive 5-star rating from reviewers, which is almost an impossible feat in today’s market. Reviewers love that this food disposer (which many people call a garbage disposal) is quiet yet powerful and can quickly obliterate most food waste. Reviewers also appreciate that this disposer makes kitchen clean up faster and easier, with one reviewer commenting that it “gets the job done in half the time.”
3. GE Profile™ 30" Smart Free-Standing Electric Convection Range
This range takes up the same amount of space as a standard range, yet it includes two ovens with multiple cooking options. The top oven heats up significantly faster than a full-size oven, so it cuts down on your total cooking time whether you use it as a standard convection oven, toaster, or air fryer. The top oven is large enough to cook two casseroles or frozen pizzas at the same time, and since it pre-heats so quickly, you’ll be able to get dinner on the table before anyone starts whining.
For day-to-day use, this range is an incredible time saver, and it cooks food to perfection.
4. KitchenAid® 15" Built-In Trash Compactor
You might not think of a trash compactor as a time-saving appliance, but the time savings become clear when you realize that it condenses the volume of five trash bags into just one bag. That means if you currently empty the trash five times in a 14-day period, this trash compactor could save you four trips and four trash bags, since you’d probably only have to empty your trash once in that 14-day period.
This trash compactor uses a fan and a charcoal filter to minimize unpleasant odors from kitchen scraps, and quite a few reviewers mentioned that they were both surprised and delighted at how well those features work. Reviewers noted that this trash compactor completely eliminated kitchen odors that they experienced when using regular trash cans, even though they took out the trash less frequently.
5. GE® 21.3 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer
Investing in a spare freezer can save you a significant amount of time and money while helping cut down on trips to the grocery store. This GE® freezer has a small footprint and sleek profile, yet it boasts a whopping 21.3 cubic feet of storage space. With all that freezer space, you can stock up on meat, seafood, and frozen vegetables when they’re on sale, and you’ll still have plenty of space to park your car in the garage.
As an added bonus, this freezer comes with a lock and key, so you can secure your food stash if you’re worried about intruders or hungry teenagers devouring your well-planned meals.
If you want to save time and energy around the house, stop into your local appliance store and ask a specialist about these time-saving appliances.
