Picking the right Range Hood for your home and kitchen is just as important as the selection of the cooking equipment. Range Hoods work to increase indoor air quality by removing cooking contaminants before they mix with the rest of the air in the home. Without the right Range Hood, you and your family members are more susceptible to breathing in hazardous gases and contaminants, and your house is more susceptible to retaining odors. It is very important to take the time to do your research and figure out what type of Range Hood you need for the cooking equipment you currently own. Whether you’re in the market for a new Range Hood, or will be in the future, we’ve compiled a great list of 4 invaluable resources to help you pick the right Range Hood for your home.

Shop Big Box or Not, Independent Appliance Dealer Experience is Best
Have you shopped for a Major Appliance before at a Big Box Store? What was your experience? Dissatisfying, Impersonable, Confusing, all of the above? You don’t say! That seems to be the norm when an educated appliance customer, like yourself
, shops for an appliance at a Big Box Retail Store. You leave the store confused, dissatisfied, and frustrated. Why is that?
Mainly because the experience at a Big Box Store is quite different from the experience at an Independent Appliance Dealer. Three main factors contribute to the difference in experience, 1) Customer Service, 2) Appliance Selection 3) Sales Professionals.
It’s true, an Independent Appliance Dealer offers and provides a different level of Service than a Big Box Store. At a Big Box Store, the Appliance section is always empty, it’s impossible to find a Sales Associates, you can never get your question answered, and purchase is more of a hassle than it should be. Why fight the struggle? The experience and service at an Independent Appliance Retailer like Plass Appliance is quite different. Our Sales Associates are always available and ready to answer any Appliance question you may have, assist you with your Appliance purchase, and make your overall shopping experience a memorable one. At Plass, we pride ourselves in our Customer Service and stand behind out motto, “It’s a Much Better Experience!” We enjoy creating lasting business relationships with our customers, taking an interest in their appliance purchase, and seeing through their satisfaction with their appliance decision for their home.

Undercounter Refrigeration Options for your Kitchen
When it comes time to plan your new kitchen or the remodel of your existing kitchen, consider undercounter refrigeration as a part of your plans and designs. From undercounter refrigerators, to wine coolers, and ice makers, there some great options to consider adding to your plans that offer style, convenience, and luxury. Here we will outline and detail the benefits and features of undercounter refrigerators, wine coolers, and ice makers in order for you to make a more educated appliance purchase decision.
Undercounter Refrigerators: An undercounter refrigerator is simply a small refrigerator that fits underneath your counter top and functions just as a regular refrigerator. It gives you the added convenience of additional refrigerated storage to store your favorite fruits, vegetables, and beverages. Undercounter refrigerators, also know as beverage centers, come in two main sizes, 15″ and a standard size of 24″. Of the two sizes, the 24″ model is the more common application for most kitchens and bar settings in that the width of the unit is the same size as a standard cabinet. That means that adding a 24″ undercounter refrigerator to your kitchen design plans is an easy replacement for a standard cabinet. Undercounter refrigerators come in 3 main styles including standard solid door, glass door, and a two drawer model. The standard solid door is available in your traditional white, black, and stainless. Unique undercounter options include custom colors, panel ready, and overlay. Not familiar with panel ready or overlay? These are applications that allow you to place your cabinet would panel faces on the front of your refrigeration unit. Why would you want to do this? This is a popular and trendy look that allows a synonymous look of cabinets throughout your kitchen. This application hides your undercounter unit allowing it to appear as a cabinet. In adding a panel to your refrigerator you also then have the option to add your own handle to your unit. Handles can be matched to the existing hardware on your cabinets, you can add your own handle, or you can purchase a handle from most manufacturers to match the handles of your other appliances in your kitchen. Some manufacturers make undercounter models that have glass doors. The glass models are nice in that they allow you to see your beverages and food items directly. Glass models commonly feature either clear glass or tinted glass, and some do have panel options from some manufacturers. The two drawer option offers two separate refrigerated drawers. Each drawer is controlled by its own thermostat with its own temperature setting. This option really allows you to separate your food from your beverages. The same front panel options exist for the two drawer model similar to the standard unit, including white, black, stainless, glass, panel ready, and overlay.

Save Money & Protect the Environment with Energy Star Appliances
Still using that old washing machine that you purchased way back when? I bet you’re happy that you haven’t had to replace it, right? Well did you
know that with a new Energy Star clothes washer you could be saving yourself money while protecting the environment? It’s true. Today’s appliances are more energy-efficient and more advanced than ever before. They use less total energy, use less water, and less of an effect on the environment. By making an investment in a new energy star appliance you are making a conscious effort to protect the environment as well as put more money back in your pocket. Here are some appliance models that make for great upgrades to a new energy star appliance.
Clothes Washers: Did you know that the average family washes over 400 loads of laundry a year? That’s a lot of laundry! Think about the amount of energy and the amount of water being used with each load and each wash. It adds up. By purchasing a new Energy Star clothes washer you can cut those energy cost by a third and your water costs by more than a half. That’s because Energy Star qualified clothes washers use about 30% less energy and over 50% less water than regular clothes washers. If your washer is over 10 years old, replace it with a new Energy Star qualified washer and you can save up to $135 a year.
Dishwashers: How old is your dishwasher? 5, 10, 15 years old? Hopefully you’re not using a dishwasher over 15 years old. If so, you’re paying an additional $40 a year on your utility bills compared to owning a new Energy Star qualified model. A dishwasher built before 1994 wastes more than 10 gallons of water per cycle. If you were to replace your old dishwasher with a new Energy Star qualified model, you’d save enough water each week to wash 3 loads of laundry in your new Energy Efficient front load clothes washer. Don’t wash away your savings with an old dishwasher, upgrade to a new Energy Star model, save on your utility bills and reduce your water consumption to help protect our lakes, streams, and oceans.

7 Features to Consider with your new Dishwasher Purchase
When it comes to purchasing a new dishwasher, where do you start? What should you be looking for? Here are 7 features to take note of that you should consider when it comes time to make a new dishwasher purchase.
Stainless Steel Tub: What makes stainless steel tub that much better than a plastic tub? Four things: assisted drying, odor elimination, preventative interior staining, and quieter wash cycle . The stainless steel tub helps assist in the drying cycle by holding the heat and drawing the condensation to the tub walls off the plates and glass ware.

8 Dishwasher Tips for Cleaner Dishes
Do you ever run the dishwasher only to find at the end of the cycle your dishes are still dirty? If this sounds like you, listen up. Cleaner dishes are on the horizon my friend. Here are 8 helpful Dishwasher tips that you can try to implement in order to ensure those dishes come out of your dishwasher squeaky clean.
Don’t Overload: Rule #1 in all households that own a dishwasher should be, “Do Not Overload the Dishwasher!” I’m sure you think that you can fit that last dish, bowl, or even fork in the dishwasher, but don’t. Leave it out and save it for the next load, or better yet wash that last one by hand. Overloading the dishwasher is a no-no. The more dishes that block the washer arms, the less chance they have to clean the dishes. Set a limit of how many dishes to load and stick to it.

6 Great Tips to Help Clean Up your Home Appliances
Each and everyday our Appliances encounter alot of hands. Your dishwasher gets loaded with dinner’s dishes, the fridge gets filled with tonight’s leftovers, and the microwave may get messy from that late night snack. Dirty or not your Appliances work hard and get the job done for everyone in your family. They may not always get the proper cleaning they deserve, but when it comes time, here are 6 great tips to help clean up your Home Appliances.

Simply add one of the following items to your dishwasher detergent cup, and run a light/short cycle.

4 Unique Panel Options for your New Built-In Refrigerator
So you’ve purchased a brand new Built-In Refrigerator and are looking to add your own Panels. Here are 4 unique Panel options for your brand new Built-In.
Custom Wood: Custom Wood Panels are by far the most popular panel choice when it comes to choosing to add panels to a built-in. Creating custom panels to match your cabinets gives your kitchen a seemless and clean look. Given the specifications provided by the appliance manufacturer, your cabinet-maker can simply create custom panels that match your cabinet design and look. Take note that there are three different types of Refrigerator models that accept Custom Wood Panels; Framed, Overlay, and Flush Inset. Each provides a different look and feel which you’ll need to notate to your cabinet-maker in order for them to create panels the right size and shape. Framed models accept wood panels that will sit inside of the exterior stainless steel frame of the Refrigerator unit. Overlay panels adhere to the doors of the Refrigerator and will cover the entire front of the Refrigerator matching your cabinets. Flush Inset Panels will also adhere to the doors of the Refrigerator however the look of the panels will allow Refrigerator to hide amongst the cabinets creating a kitchen where the Refrigerator is undetectable. Once you figure out which front custom panels you need for your new Built-In work with your cabinet-maker and be sure to provide all specifications. Custom wood panels add elegance and sophistication to your kitchen and are certainly a nice touch to consider for your new Built-In Refrigerator. See the example below of a Framed Sub Zero Built-In Refrigerator featuring Custom Wood Panels that match the Kitchen Cabinets.
