In the world of major appliances, bigger isn’t necessarily better, particularly if you’re trying to outfit a small kitchen with top-of-the-line gear or you’re putting in a second appliance for ancillary use. Well, here’s good news: It seems top appliance manufacturers are becoming increasingly space conscious, as they’ve launched an array of high-performance models with diminutive dimensions. Here’s a sampling of several noteworthy space-savers.
Liebherr 24-inch
Premium no-frost
refrigerator
(CS1350)
German refrigerator manufacturer Liebherr is a newcomer to the American market, and this tall, narrow fridge (80 inches high by 24 inches wide by 25 inches deep) is but one of its space- and energy-efficient designs. In fact, this model is the most energy-efficient bottom-freezer refrigerator on the market. It features stainless-steel construction, dual silent compressors that allow independent control of the fridge section and the frost-free freezer. The retail price is about $2,800.

Bosch Integra
800 Series
18英寸洗碗机
(SRV53C03UC)
This compact 18-inch built-in dishwasher is big on features: five wash cycles plus power scrub, glass, quick, economy, enviro, and many other settings. And the stainless steel interior is roomier than you might think; it has two adjustable racks, can handle 24 place settings, and has a special spray tower for extra-tall items. Expect to pay about $1,100. For more information visitBoschAppliances.com.
Danby Silhouette
27-bottle wine cooler
(DWC276BLS)
丹比(Danby)的Svelte下台葡萄酒冷却器仅12英寸宽,高34英寸,因此即使是最小的底次竞争空间,也可以挤压。但是它有能力存储27个葡萄酒瓶。建议的零售价为700美元。有关更多信息,请访问Danby.com.
24-inch Aga Companion
This 24-inch-wide dual-fuel range is meant to be a companion to a larger Aga range, but there’s no reason why it couldn’t be your one and only. It boasts four high-power gas burners, two electric ovens (one conventional oven with a broiler and one convection oven), and the classic Aga design. Made of cast iron and available in 15 appealing colors, it retails for about $4,350. For dealers visitAga-Ranges.com.
