High-tech gadgets and gizmos are a part of everyday culture, and consumers stand at the ready to learn about the next “big thing” that will push the technology envelope. While kitchen appliances may not come to mind when consumers first think about technology, they are actually among the “smartest” products on the market today. As a result, once these items have been taken for a test drive, they become a must-have in the home.

Designers continue to look for products that will make a statement in the kitchen, while offering high functionality and a wide range of color and customization options.

On this and the next six pages, Kitchen & Bath Design News presents its annual guide to kitchen appliance manufacturers and their products, designed to keep readers abreast of the latest products and services available today.
