Can I mix appliance brands in my kitchen? Short answer: Yes, when it makes sense.
If you&rsquo;re designing a new kitchen or upgrading your kitchen appliances, you might wonder: Should I stick to one brand or mix and match? The truth is today&rsquo;s kitchen trends are all about&nbsp;personalized design, performance, and flexibility and mixing appliance brands can be a smart move when done thoughtfully.
At KAM Appliances, we help homeowners and kitchen designers find the right balance between&nbsp;function, budget, and style, even if that means blending multiple top appliance brands.
When Mixing Brands Makes Sense
Many appliance brands shine in specific categories. For example:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/sub-zero">Sub-Zero&nbsp;</a>is world-renowned for luxury&nbsp;refrigeration</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/wolf">Wolf&nbsp;</a>dominates in professional-style&nbsp;cooking appliances</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/cove/dishwashers">Cove&nbsp;</a>offers ultra-quiet, high-performance&nbsp;dishwashers</li>
</ul>
These brands are designed to work together, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean every kitchen needs to follow a single-brand rule. If you&rsquo;re passionate about cooking but want to save on refrigeration, combining brands allows you to&nbsp;prioritize what matters most.
Add Personality and Style to Your Kitchen
Want to make your kitchen stand out? Mixing brands gives you the chance to bring in unique, statement pieces.

Refrigerators Are More Than Just Cold Storage&nbsp;
A good refrigerator doesn&rsquo;t just preserve your food &mdash; it elevates your kitchen&rsquo;s function and form. At KAM Appliances, we help customers choose refrigerators based on their real lifestyle needs. Here are the top features people are asking for:
1. Ice Cube Type (Nugget, Crescent, or Clear Ice)&nbsp;
Yes, ice cube shape matters! Depending on how you entertain or hydrate, your ideal refrigerator might include:
<ul>
<li>Nugget Ice&nbsp;&ndash; soft, chewable, and perfect for summer drinks (fans call it &ldquo;Sonic ice&rdquo;)</li>
<li>Clear Ice&nbsp;&ndash; slow-melting, crystal-clear cubes ideal for cocktails</li>
<li>Crescent Ice&nbsp;&ndash; traditional shape, often faster to produce</li>
</ul>
Refrigerators from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kamappliances.com/search/GE%2520Refrigerators">GE Profile</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kamappliances.com/search/Thermador%2520Refrigerators">Thermador</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kamappliances.com/search/Sub%2520zero%2520Refrigerators">Sub-Zero&nbsp;</a>offer various ice options, some even with dual ice makers. Ask us about specialty ice features when you shop!
2. Water Dispenser Location (Internal vs. In-Door)&nbsp;
There&rsquo;s no right or wrong here &mdash; just what works best for you:
<ul>
<li>In-Door Water Dispensers&nbsp;are easy to access and convenient for families.</li>
<li>Internal Dispensers&nbsp;keep the exterior sleek and modern while preserving interior space.</li>
</ul>
Modern fridges often feature both ice and water access, along with smart touch sensors and filtration systems for great taste.
3. Interior Layout and Storage Capacity&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s not just how big a fridge is &mdash; it&rsquo;s how smartly it&rsquo;s organized. Look for adjustable glass shelves, humidity-controlled crisper drawers, gallon door bins, and flex drawers that can change from fridge to freezer mode.
Bonus Feature: Air Purification&nbsp;
Some high-end refrigerators, like those from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kamappliances.com/search/Sub%2520zero%2520Refrigerators">Sub-Zero</a>, come equipped with air purification systems to reduce ethylene gas and odors, keeping food fresher for longer.

Keep your dishwasher running smoothly during the holidays with these 6 simple maintenance tips. From cleaning filters to checking seals, these steps will help ensure sparkling dishes and stress-free hosting.

<img alt=“Dishwashers” src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/DishwasherHolidayPrepBlogPhoto_1_.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" />

As we head into the busy holiday season, your dishwasher will likely get a lot more use. A few proactive maintenance steps now can save headaches later and keep your dishes sparkling.
1. Clean / Replace the Filter: A clogged filter can make your dishwasher less efficient and even leave food bits stuck to your dishes. To avoid buildup, remove and rinse the filter at least once a month. You&rsquo;ll usually find it at the bottom of the dishwasher. Give it a good rinse under running water; soak it in warm, soapy water if needed; and scrub away any stuck-on grime with a soft brush. Once it&rsquo;s clean, pop it back in place.
2. Refill the Rinse Aid / Drying Solution: Rinse aid is the secret to sparkling, spot-free dishes. It helps glassware dry faster and keeps water spots at bay, so it&rsquo;s worth checking the level regularly and refilling when needed. Some dishwashers allow adjustments in how much is dispensed each cycle&mdash;if you notice spots or poor drying, try bumping it up for better results.
3. Inspect the Spray Arms: Your dishwasher&rsquo;s spray arms do the heavy lifting, so it&rsquo;s important to make sure they&rsquo;re working properly. Check the holes in the arms regularly to be sure they aren&rsquo;t clogged with food particles or mineral buildup. If you notice any blockages, rinse the arms under running water or use a toothpick to gently clear the holes. Keeping the spray arms clean ensures water can flow freely and your dishes come out sparkling.
4. Don&rsquo;t Overload:&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t overload your dishwasher&mdash;especially during the holidays when it&rsquo;s tempting to fit in every last dish. An overcrowded dishwasher blocks water and detergent from reaching everything, which can leave you with cloudy glasses or food residue. It&rsquo;s better to run two lighter cycles than one crammed-full load if you want truly clean, shiny dishes.
5. Check Seals &amp; Gaskets: Check your dishwasher&rsquo;s seals and gaskets to keep it running smoothly and prevent messy leaks. A quick wipe with a damp cloth around the rubber seals helps clear away grime and buildup that can stop the door from sealing properly.&nbsp;
6.Remove Odors: No one wants a stinky dishwasher! To keep odors away, wipe down the door edges and run an empty cycle with vinegar every few months to loosen grime. Baking soda is a quick fix for deodorizing, while a dishwasher cleaner offers a deeper refresh.&nbsp;
By keeping up with these small steps, your dishwasher will perform better, last longer, and make your kitchen life easier.

6 Tips to Keep Your Dishwasher Running Like New for the Holidays 

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/240395WDP01-008_WDT750SAKZ_Set_sRGB.jpg" alt="" />As we transition into spring, it&rsquo;s the perfect time to reevaluate your home appliances and ensure that everything is running efficiently. One of the most essential appliances in any kitchen is the dishwasher. Not only does it save you time, but when used properly, it can also save water and energy. Whether you&rsquo;re wondering if your dishwasher really saves water compared to handwashing, or curious about some of the unique features Whirlpool dishwashers have to offer, we&rsquo;ve got you covered in this ultimate guide.
Dishwasher vs. Hand Wash: Does a Dishwasher Save Water?
The debate between using a dishwasher or handwashing dishes is an ongoing one, and many people wonder which method is more eco-friendly. According to Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/do-dishwashers-save-water.html" target="_new">Do Dishwashers Save Water?</a>, dishwashers actually use less water than handwashing. On average, a dishwasher uses just 3-4 gallons of water per load, whereas handwashing can use up to 20 gallons! When you use your dishwasher efficiently, it can make a significant difference in water conservation, so it&rsquo;s a no-brainer for those looking to lower their water usage and save on their utility bills.
What You Can and Can&rsquo;t Put in Your Dishwasher
While dishwashers are incredibly convenient, knowing what can and can&rsquo;t go in there is crucial to keeping your dishes, cookware, and the dishwasher itself in top shape. Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/what-is-and-is-not-dishwasher-safe.html" target="_new">What You Can and Can&rsquo;t Put in Your Dishwasher</a>&nbsp;gives a great overview of which items are safe to clean in the dishwasher and which should be handwashed. For example, some materials like cast iron, non-stick cookware, and delicate glassware may not fare well in a dishwasher. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for your items but rest assured that most everyday dishes and utensils are dishwasher-safe!
You Can Put THAT in the Dishwasher?
You might be surprised to learn that there are a number of items you didn&rsquo;t realize could go in the dishwasher. Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/things-you-didnt-know-are-dishwasher-safe.html" target="_new">You Can Put THAT in the Dishwasher?</a>&nbsp;highlights everyday items that are dishwasher-friendly, including plastic toys, certain kitchen tools, and even some types of shoes. For the busy family, this is a game-changer as it helps you save time on cleaning even more items.

Pat D. (Operations and Logistics) says...
I have had my Bosch dishwasher for 5 years now. I remodeled my kitchen last year and refused to get rid of this workhorse. My model has a third rack, called the &ldquo;My Way&rdquo; rack, which fits deeper bowls, giving me about 30% more room in the dishwasher. I opted for the pocket handle to give the dishwasher a sleek look. Thankfully it also has a red-light indicator to let me know the wash is running. It is so quiet that without the light we would open the door during the cycle. We run a wash every night, it is more economical than rinsing in the sink. With over a thousand washes, my Bosch is still working as well as the day it was installed.
