The decision to go with this or that appliance can be a bit overwhelming. In fact, it can be a downright tough choice. And then, when you factor the price into the equation, you have a whole other set of considerations. The salespeople may try to convince you that built-in appliances are better than freestanding. But are they?
You want the best for your home and family, right? So then, if you are getting new appliances and perhaps a new kitchen, do some research as to whether built-in appliances are better than freestanding for your home.
According to the experts at Appliances Connection,
“Choosing between freestanding and built-in appliances will depend on your kitchen layout, budget, and personal preferences. If you like a modern, integrated look, built-in appliances will be the right choice. Although, if you prefer the convenience and versatility, the freestanding appliances will be a great alternative.”
Of course, that is not all there is to choosing appliances for your kitchen. Keep reading to learn even more.
The Difference: Built-In Appliances vs. Freestanding?
Perhaps some research is in order since this is one of the most significant and essential decisions you will make in a new kitchen remodel. You see, freestanding appliances are just as the name indicates. They could stand anywhere in the kitchen, and cabinets can be placed around them. However, built-in appliances need the cabinetry to be built, and then they are slid in and attached.
So, why go to that much effort for the install of your appliances? First off, you do not have to. That is the job of your cabinetry technician and your appliance installer. At
Ranges: Coming in both gas and electric, a built-in cabinet cook surface is prevalent these days. They are almost flush with the countertop and provide a seamless look.
Ovens: Ovens come in under cabinet built-ins and wall units. And they are also in both gas and electric. You can have a single or a double, and there are so many choices on installing and designing them.
Dishwashers: A built-in dishwasher is installed under the countertop and can come in various finishes, including panels. They are counter depth at 24′. Additionally, the built-in models have a few functions standard freestanding dishwashers do not have. For example, they feature multiple spray arms and unique cycles. And they can do 12 – 14 place settings at a time. Perfect for a large family.
Additionally, for the kitchen, there are devices like range hoods, wine refrigerators, trash compactors, coffeemakers, and microwaves that are built-in now. This keeps counters clear and provides that sleek modern, minimal look throughout the entire design.
Oh, and for laundry, there are now built-in washers and dryers for hidden laundry facilities.
More to Consider
Choosing between built-in appliances and freestanding units, you have a lot to consider. On the one hand, if you move around a lot, you may want the freestanding pieces. They are less expensive and can even go with you on your move. But if you are looking to stay and create a high design customized to your needs, built-in is the way to go.

Atlanta Appliance Services Installs for You
When you purchase built-ins, there is one benefit to scheduling with Atlanta Appliance Services you may not have thought of. Over the past year, we have seen significant delays in the shipping and production of appliances in general. That said, your devices may not come in all at the same time.
Now here is the good news. Suppose each one is installed as they ship in. In that case, you will pay added fees for the multiple deliveries and multiple installations. However, if you schedule with Atlanta Appliance, you can wait until they are all in the warehouse. Then prepare to have them all delivered on the same day. Then our team can be right out to get them all professionally installed at one time. This will save you money on the multiple installs and time too.
