Collection: Kitchen Appliances

Kitchen appliances cover everything from cooking appliances like the built-in oven and cooktop to the small kitchen appliances on the bench. What you need depends on how you cook and the bench space you have. Large appliances like ovens, cooktops and dishwashers are fixed installations; kitchen electricals and kitchen gadgets on the bench are plug-in and easy to change. Work through how you actually cook — boiling, frying, baking, blending — and choose appliances that earn their bench space.

What kitchen appliances do you need?

Most kitchens are built around a few groups:

• Cooking: an oven, cooktop or stove, and a microwave.
• Prep: a blender and food processor.
• Everyday: a kettle and toaster.
• Specialist: an air fryer, rice cooker or coffee machine.
• Cleaning up: a dishwasher and rangehood.

Which appliances are worth the bench space?

Bench space is limited, so an appliance has to earn its spot by being used regularly. A kettle and toaster suit almost every household. Beyond those, think about what you actually cook: an air fryer earns its place if you cook chips and roast vegetables often, a rice cooker if rice is a staple, a coffee machine if you drink coffee daily. Appliances bought for occasional use usually end up in a cupboard. Tip: before buying, decide where it will live on the bench — if there's no obvious spot, you probably won't use it.

What needs professional installation?

Some kitchen appliances are plug-in, others need a trade. Benchtop appliances — kettles, toasters, blenders, air fryers, microwaves — simply plug into a power point. Built-in ovens, hardwired cooktops and rangehoods need a licensed electrician, since they connect to fixed wiring. Any gas cooktop or gas appliance must be connected by a licensed gasfitter, which is a legal requirement, not a preference. A dishwasher needs both a water connection and drainage. Check what your appliance needs before you buy, and budget for the trade where required.

Common questions

What appliances does a basic kitchen need?
An oven and cooktop, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster cover most everyday cooking. Add a blender, air fryer or rice cooker based on what you actually cook regularly.

Which kitchen appliances need an electrician?
Built-in ovens, hardwired cooktops and rangehoods connect to fixed wiring and need a licensed electrician. Benchtop appliances just plug into a power point.

Can I install a gas cooktop myself?
No — gas appliances must be connected by a licensed gasfitter. This is a legal requirement in Australia, and DIY gas work is both unsafe and unlawful.

What's the difference between benchtop and built-in appliances?
Benchtop appliances are portable and plug in, so they're easy to replace or move. Built-in appliances are installed into cabinetry and wiring, giving a neater kitchen but needing a trade to fit.

Can I pay for kitchen appliances with Afterpay?
Yes. You can split it with Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. Our kitchen appliances start from $38, which is four fortnightly payments of $9.50.
