While it might go against conventional wisdom, we think it’s safe to say that bigger is not always better. In fact, depending on the size of your kitchen, bigger might be downright impractical. But that doesn’t mean you should give up your dreams of being the next Chopped Champion. At Metro Appliances & More, we heartily believe that small is mighty.


Let’s start with the cooktop.

The 24-inch Miele KM 6320 Induction Cooktop is the perfect solution for kitchens where every inch of counter real-estate is essential. In terms of appearance, it’s sleek and modern, and can be seamlessly integrated into your kitchen set-up.



For such a small range, the Miele KM 6320 Induction Cooktop comes with a lot of bells and whistles. Here are just a few: it has three cooking zones, each being super easy to control and customize. It’s also designed with safety in mind, and will, among other things, switch off if there isn’t a pan on the zone. The surface remains relatively cool, which helps prevent burning and makes it easy to clean. Like we said, these are just a few of the features and benefits.

Ovens

The Frigidaire 24'' Single Gas Wall Oven shares some similarities with the T.A.R.D.I.S from Dr. Who in that, despite appearances, the inside is rather roomy. It’s wider and deeper than you might think from just a fleeting glance—in fact, one reviewer describes having used it to prepare a turkey dinner for six people without hitch.



It might be a small oven, but it comes with a lot of heating power. It also comes with Even Baking Technology, so each cookie on the cookie sheet contains the same consistency. It’s easy to use and even easier to clean—its built-in self-clean cycle that takes only two hours to complete.

So you’ve prepared a delicious meal, and now you need a place to store the leftovers.

Refrigerators

Again, we’re looking for something lean enough to tuck into a corner with a full range of capabilities. No place better to store them than a Liebherr 24" Fridge-freezer, or, if you’re feeling particularly funky, you might opt for the Smeg 50s Retro Style Refrigerator, and bring a splash of color into your kitchen. Both of these are fantastic small refrigerator options.

Let’s take a look at the Liebherr first.

This svelte appliance comes packed with a lot of pluses. It’s an Energy Star appliance, for one, producing less energy waste and greenhouse gas emissions. And you conserve energy on top of it. In addition, this refrigerator has a ton of super capabilities, including SuperCool (rapidly chill freshly stored food), SuperFrost (rapidly freeze freshly stored food), and SuperQuiet (what it sounds like). The GlassLine shelves are scratch resistant and easy to clean. All in all, a great solution for anyone who needs high performance in a smaller space.



If you’re looking for something that will both save space and make a statement, though, you can’t beat the Smeg. This wonderfully retro design includes three adjustable shelves in its refrigerator half, fruit/veggie container, a covered storage box, and a chrome wine rack. The frost-free freezer section also comes with three adjustable shelves, two drawers, and fast-freezing capabilities.

So we’ve made dinner and stored our leftovers. What’s there left to do?

Everyone’s favorite thing—the dishes!

Dishwashers

If you’re searching for a small dishwasher, we recommend the Bosch ADA 18" 800 Series Bar Hndl. This lean, mean, cleaning machine delivers both in space conservation and performance. It has a third rack, which allows for an additional 30% in loading capacity. And it’s the quietest dishwasher available—so quiet that it is equipped with an InfoLight® to help you determine if it’s running or not. It’s also an Energy Star appliance, which helps you save money while doing what you can to help the environment. There are a host of additional features—like the sanitize option for extra peace of mind, or the half-load option when you don’t have quite enough dirty dishes to justify running a fully cycle.




There are tons of appliances to choose from when shopping for a smaller kitchen. Like Haier, a Metro brand that specifically designs affordable, reliable appliances intended for city living. Check out any of Metro’s Haier displays next time you swing by.
