Modern appliances 'the green choice'

Rebecca Silver states in a piece for inhabitat's Green Home 101 webpage that most new kitchen products are made to a high standard when it comes to energy and water-efficiency.

She offers advice on how to shop for such products and offers advice on particular features that may be worth keeping an eye out for, including a wide selection of temperature controls and spin cycles.

Ms Silver adds that with the long-term benefits of such an appliance, consumers should not worry too much about the initial outlay.

"When buying new, consider the cumulative future savings you will have made by opting for a highly-efficient model," she states, adding: "most major appliances will last you many years".

Bosch offer a range of efficient kitchen appliances including the A+ rated WAE2446BGB washing machine and A-rated SRS55C02GB dishwasher.
