Best Small Space Appliance Brands
It’s an industry myth that kitchen appliance sizes are “standard”. However, most refrigerators sold today are 36" wide, most ranges are 30" wide, and most dishwashers are 24" wide. If you’re looking for appliances to fit a small kitchen space, city apartment, finished basement, in-law apartment, guest suite, pool house, or pantry, there are a whole host of home appliances that come in smaller sizes.
Did you know that in the international appliance market, most appliances like refrigerators, washers, dryers, cooktops, ovens, and dishwashers are all 24" wide? Everything is made bigger for the US market. However, with the rise of urban living, multigenerational housing, and home rental services like Airbnb, there is more demand for small-space appliances.
Small-space appliances come in a wide variety of prices. This list will cover our favorites from the ultra-high-end to the budget-friendly. Let’s see who made our list.
1. Bosch
Do you know what’s cool about Bosch? Almost any client could come into the store and walk away with a Bosch kitchen. From quiet, reliable top-rated dishwashers, to a new robust line of refrigerators, ovens, and ranges, this quintessential affordable luxury brand has a sleek kitchen package for almost everyone.
Bosch’s small appliance lineup doesn’t disappoint! Since Bosch is headquartered in Germany, there’s no question that Bosch has a great selection when it comes to small space solutions.
2. Sub Zero & Wolf
When you think of Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, most think of sprawling kitchens, large islands, and wine cellars. Although Wolf and Sub Zero make a large array of supersized ranges and refrigerators, they also have an attractive assortment of smaller appliances. Plus, Sub Zero is one of two American manufacturers that makes this list! I’m excited to see luxury appliance brands Wolf and Sub Zero in this market segment.
I’m most excited about the Sub Zero (IC24CI) 24-inch combination refrigerator/freezer/icemaker column, it’s pretty unique. Sub Zero is often distributed with Asko, an appliance brand with Swedish roots best known for high-end compact washers and dryers.
3. Fisher & Paykel
Fisher & Paykel is a New Zealand-based appliance brand originally known for small-space refrigeration and dishwasher drawers. Fisher & Paykel today is owned by Haier, a Chinese-based appliance and electronics company. Over the last two years, Fisher & Paykel has been directing its focus toward building luxury cooking appliances such as pro ranges and refrigerator columns. Fisher & Paykel is one of the only upscale appliance manufacturers that makes a pro package with a range.
4. Gaggenau
Gaggenau appliances are both luxurious in appearance in function. Gaggenau appliances are primarily manufactured in France and possess a unique aesthetic that is sought after by design enthusiasts and luxury homeowners alike. Because of the Gaggenau brand’s European roots, it’s natural that the line contains a healthy selection of small space appliances.
5. Miele
Miele is a German luxury appliance brand. Miele is best known for their dishwashers, washers, and dryers, but they have a full product lineup that is both attractive and reliable. Since Miele is a European brand, they have a full line of small space appliances so you can outfit a full kitchen.
5. Haier
Haier is an affordable appliance brand with a full selection of small-space appliances. While Haier is a relatively new brand to the American appliance market, they are one of the largest appliance companies worldwide. Haier recently made headlines when they purchased the GE Appliance division. Whether you’re looking to remodel your kitchen, in-law suite, or investment property, Haier is a great option at a great price.
7. Jenn-Air
Jenn-Air is a luxury appliance brand owned by the Whirlpool Corporation. The Jenn-Air brand had a major product launch in 2018 which pushed the brand into the luxury sector. In that launch came an attractive collection of small-space modular cooktops and a 24’’ wall oven.
