If you’re in the process of upgrading or updating your kitchen appliances, there is a recent trend that is becoming increasingly popular; the use of commercial grade appliances in residential kitchens.
The growing popularity of multi-family or multi-generational living is one of the reasons this trend is gaining popularity. With larger family sizes and communal living the need for more space, durability and dependability that comes with commercial grade appliances such as fridges is outmatched. Commercial units often have better serviceability if an internal part becomes in need of repair.

Commercial appliances are often the centrepiece with other features and finishes chosen to match. Fridge models now come with residential appliance high-end features such as SMART capabilities, convection cooking, temperature controlled drawers, LED lighting or as bougie as steam-cleaning and built-in rotisserie options.
Whether a side-by-side Fridge/Freezers or Ovens/Range, the quality and durability for any heart of the home appliance and commercial seems to be top of mind with this increasingly popular trend.
