As you research your next washing machine, consider the brands Speed Queen and Whirlpool. Both are well known names in the US laundry industry.

Everyone has different considerations when buying a dishwasher. If you love wine, one of the most important things you will want to consider is whether or not your new dishwasher has stemware holders that will accommodate your beloved wine glasses. If you have an older model, you may not even realize these are available! (Learn more about purchasing a new dishwasher in our dishwasher buying guide!)
Dishwasher stemware holders are fold-down pieces of plastic on the top rack made to keep wine glasses in place so that they won’t fall over during the wash cycle. Stemware holders can also be used to create extra space for cups and small dessert dishes. Racks with stemware holders will separate and secure your wine glasses to keep them from getting broken.
The microwave is a ubiquitous kitchen appliance found in almost every home, as well as in most workplace break rooms! Most people are familiar with the standalone countertop microwave and the over-the-range microwave, but if you're redoing your kitchen or are looking for unique ways to save counter space, you may be interested in a subset of built-in microwaves: the microwave drawer.
In this article, we go over the details and the pros and cons of this built-in style, and review three models from Sharp, Bosch, and KitchenAid.
Whirlpool is over a century old and a giant in the appliance market today. Despite its age, this appliance manufacturer is constantly coming up with new innovations in consumer appliances.

Learn more about the new features of Whirlpool connected appliances for 2020 below!
At a product show in September 2019, we got to take a look at an interesting new color from Maytag starting in late 2019: Cast Iron Black! As you may be able to guess, it's inspired by cast iron, and it was intended for people looking for something durable and affordable when choosing new kitchen appliances. However, as of April 2020 it's being discontinued.
Whatever happened to GE Spacemaker? GE made a bold move back in 1979 when they began offering the first over the range microwaves to the market. They may seem commonplace now, but back in the day, combining stovetop ventilation and microwaves together was a big deal!
If you have a GE Spacemaker microwave, you might be disappointed to discover that GE has discontinued the Spacemaker line. There is no longer a need to distinguish this type of microwave since over the range models have become so common, so it has been absorbed back into GE's main product lines. Spacemaker microwaves aren't particularly compact compared to typical over the range models - most over the range microwaves are about 30" wide (a few are 36" wide) and any over the range microwave should mount into the same spot as an older Spacemaker unit.
