Kitchen Appliance Remodel: Modern Upgrade Ideas

I’ve wanted new kitchen appliances for years, so I jumped at the chance to partner with Lowe’s and Samsung to outfit my kitchen with several of Samsung’s latest appliances. From the moment Matt and I began planning a replacement, Samsung stood out for its thoughtful design and practical features. Their appliances often solve everyday problems other brands overlook, and it shows. Below I’ll walk through the highlights of each major appliance in our new Samsung kitchen suite, starting with the appliance most people shop for first: the refrigerator.

Samsung Wi‑Fi Enabled Family Hub Four‑Door French Door Refrigerator

The Samsung Family Hub is packed with smart features that make daily life easier while looking great in the kitchen. Key advantages I appreciate:

  • Fingerprint-resistant finish — a must with kids; it keeps the exterior looking clean without constant wiping.
  • 21.5″ touchscreen Family Hub — serves as a command center for family calendars, notes, photos and music. It includes three built‑in interior cameras so you can view the fridge’s contents from your phone while shopping.
  • Voice control with Bixby — hands‑free navigation is invaluable when my hands are busy with baking or cooking. Bixby handles timers, conversions and simple web searches, reducing the need to touch screens while prepping.
  • FlexZone compartment — the bottom right drawer converts between freezer and refrigerator at the push of a button, offering flexible storage for changing needs.
  • Adjustable shelving — shelves that slide, flip and hide create more space for tall or oversized items and eliminate the “Tetris” game of fitting food into the fridge.

The Family Hub brings practical organization and connected convenience together, making it easier to manage groceries and family life from one place.

Samsung 5‑Burner Gas Cooktop

The Samsung 5‑burner gas cooktop blends smart design with solid performance:

  • Distinctive design — I love the blue LED control knobs. They’re not just attractive; they provide a quick visual cue to see whether a burner is on from across the kitchen.
  • Wi‑Fi connectivity — the cooktop can be monitored remotely, which is handy when slow‑cooking for hours and I’m away from the kitchen.
  • Versatile grates — the unit includes a removable cast‑iron griddle and a wok grate, expanding cooking options for everything from pancakes to stir‑fries.

Samsung Convection Microwave Wall Oven Combo

This wall oven and microwave combo combines multiple cooking modes into a single integrated unit:

  • Dual convection oven — provides even heat distribution for uniform baking and roasting, which helps prevent uneven cakes and roasts.
  • Steam cooking feature — keeps meats tender and juicy while achieving a browned exterior, reducing the risk of dry results.
  • Intuitive control panel — the dashboard is smart and easy to navigate, which makes selecting modes and settings straightforward.
  • Wi‑Fi enabled with temperature probe — you can monitor internal temperatures and control key functions from your phone for precision roasting.
  • Large convection microwave — the microwave offers fast, even cooking and is one of the larger units available, which is useful for full casserole dishes and large containers.

Samsung Dishwasher with WaterWall

The dishwasher is another standout, with thoughtful features that make cleanup easy:

  • Fingerprint-resistant exterior — one less high‑touch surface to worry about.
  • WaterWall linear wash system — a powerful, sweeping wall of water delivers excellent cleaning coverage across dishes and cookware.
  • AutoRelease door — the door pops open at the end of the cycle to let steam escape and a fan helps improve drying by up to 35%.
  • Wi‑Fi control — monitor and control cycles remotely from your phone.
  • Multiple wash cycles and flexible racking — six wash cycles cover everything from heavy pots to delicate china; removable tines and a third rack make it easy to fit oddly shaped items and utensils.
