* information from Colorado Builder, May 17, 2019, Amy Guettler

You can’t have a functioning kitchen without them, but homeowners have come to expect more from their appliances. Almost nine in 10 (88%) of renovators replace some or all of their kitchen appliances, according to the “2019 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends Survey.” That includes the 54% who opt to replace all their appliances and the 34% who replace only some. Those in the 55+ age group are far more likely to replace all the appliances in their kitchen, at 62%.

Here’s how those upgrades break down by appliance type:

  • Refrigerator/freezer: 93%

  • Dishwashers: 93%

  • Microwave: 83%

  • Range: 72%

  • Range hoods: 65%

  • Cooktops: 49%

  • Wall ovens: 36%

Integration promises to be the appliance buzzword of the year.
