We get asked all the time about what appliances are worth the splurge in a luxury kitchen renovation. And we totally get it — with all the bells, whistles, and wine chillers out there, how do you separate the showstoppers from the shelf-fillers?
Lucky for you, we’ve curated, tested, installed, and lived with just about every luxury kitchen appliance under the sun (okay, maybe not every one — but we’re pretty darn close). So today, we’re dishing out our #1 recommended luxury kitchen appliances — the ones we absolutely love and keep coming back to, project after project.
Let’s dive into the dream team of high-end kitchen heroes.
Cook Like a Pro: Ranges & Cooktops
If the heart of the kitchen is the stove, then these ranges and cooktops are the soul. Whether you’re searing steaks, simmering sauces, or whipping up Saturday morning pancakes, having the right cooking surface makes all the difference. These are our favorite picks for power, precision, and style.
Wolf 48″ Dual-Fuel Range with Griddle
If we had a nickel for every time a client said this range changed their life, we’d be able to stock our showroom with ‘em. Wolf’s dual-fuel range gives you gas precision up top, and electric consistency down below. Add the griddle? Pancake mornings just got legendary.
Dacor Dual-Fuel Range
Chic meets chef. Dacor blends clean, modern aesthetics with powerhouse performance. Ideal for culinary creatives who want substance and style.
Induction Cooktop
Don’t sleep on induction. This sleek surface offers instant heat control, easy clean-up, and safety perks galore (hello, no open flame). It’s perfect for households with curious kids or busy chefs.
Induction Range
Love the idea of induction but not ready to give up the look and feel of a full range? An induction range gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll get the clean, modern surface of an induction cooktop paired with a high-performance electric oven—all in one seamless unit. It heats faster than gas, cleans up like a dream, and keeps things cool (literally—your kitchen won’t feel like a sauna mid-sauté). Ideal for home chefs who want cutting-edge tech without sacrificing the full-range experience.
Oven Envy: Steam and Wall Ovens
Baking enthusiasts and roast lovers, this one’s for you. Luxury ovens aren’t just about looks! They’re about even baking, intuitive features, and results that make you do a little happy dance. Here are the ovens that rise to the occasion (pun 100% intended).
Wolf Steam Oven
Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of ovens. The Wolf steam oven doesn’t just reheat—it revives. It locks in moisture, preserves nutrients, and somehow makes leftovers taste like the first bite. From veggies to proteins to last night’s pasta, steam cooking never looked (or tasted) so good.
Viking Wall Oven
This one’s for our bakers and perfectionists alike. The Viking wall oven brings professional-grade precision into your home kitchen, with even heat distribution and sleek design that works hard and looks good doing it. Whether it’s a delicate soufflé or a weeknight lasagna, Viking’s got your back (and your bake).
Cool Factor: Refrigerators & Wine Storage
Your refrigerator is doing a lot of behind-the-scenes heavy lifting. So why not give it the luxury treatment? From food preservation tech to seamlessly integrated designs, these appliances are the cool kids of the kitchen.
Sub-Zero Integrated Refrigerators
Nothing says “custom kitchen” quite like a Sub-Zero fridge that disappears behind your cabinetry. These beauties are equal parts functional and fabulous, keeping produce fresh and your design seamless.
Monogram Wine Chiller
Red, white, bubbly — whatever your vintage, this wine chiller keeps it just right. Plus, it adds that chef’s kiss of luxury to your entertaining space.
Morning Magic: Coffee & Ice
Every great day starts with a solid cup of coffee (and maybe an iced cocktail to round it off?). These luxury small-but-mighty appliances add joy and convenience to your daily routine — with a serious wow factor.
Miele Built-In Coffee System
Caffeine with class. The Miele built-in coffee system delivers custom-crafted drinks with the press of a button—no barista badge required. Whether you’re team cappuccino or a straight-shot espresso kind of morning person, this machine’s got your back (and your beans). It’s your favorite café, built right into the wall.
Hoshizaki Stainless Ice Maker
No one likes running out of ice at a party. Hoshizaki keeps things cool with crystal-clear cubes — perfect for craft cocktails and casual summer sips.
Sparkle & Shine: Dishwashers That Work Overtime
When the meal is over and it’s cleanup time, luxury dishwashers step up to the plate (and clean it, obviously). These high-end dishwashers deliver ultra-quiet operation, exceptional performance, and a design-forward look that blends right in.
Bosch Benchmark Series Dishwasher
Whisper-quiet, ruthlessly efficient, and sleek to boot. Bosch is a crowd favorite for good reason — especially in open-plan kitchens where peace and quiet are part of the luxury.
Cove Dishwashers
Quiet, powerful, and practically invisible—Cove dishwashers do the dirty work so you don’t have to. With custom interiors and spot-free results, they’re built to blend in and built to last. Bonus: they’re part of the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove family, so your dream kitchen just got even more cohesive (and clean).
Wrapping It All Up
Luxury kitchen appliances don’t just look good — they work hard. Whether you’re whipping up a weeknight dinner or hosting a holiday feast, these appliances elevate the experience at every turn. They’re investments, yes — and the kind that pay you back in confidence, performance, and a touch of everyday joy.
