Everything is better when you shop local—discover what you need to know when shopping for home appliances today!

<p>Do you enjoy supporting your local community? Do you prefer to shop where your needs are heard and met? Are you in the market for a new home appliance?</p>
<p>When you shop locally, not only do you get high-quality customer service for all your needs, including delivery options and installation, but you also support an independent business. Plus, as an added bonus, you help out the community by investing in your local economy and helping to create job opportunities.</p>
<h2>Shop Locally for Appliances</h2>
<p>We know, shopping for appliances can be exhausting. But when you shop at your local appliance store, you&rsquo;ll get tailored recommendations for everything you need.</p>
<p>On top of excellent recommendations, shopping local means you have expert knowledge at your disposal. We&rsquo;re talking pros who have been in the appliance business for decades. So, what are you waiting for?</p>
<h2>Why We Love Appliance Packages</h2>
<p><img alt="gorgeous contemporary kitchen with an appliance suite" height="480" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_promotions/pre_avb-m-presidents_app.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>What&rsquo;s not to love about appliance packages? Not a thing&mdash;who wouldn&rsquo;t want a matching appliance set at a great value? Exactly&mdash;no one.</p>
<p>Take laundry sets for instance. A <a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/laundry-pairs/" target="_blank">matched laundry pair</a> not only looks great, with the coordinated finish, but the capacities are made to be compatible with the other. That means that there&rsquo;s no worry of under-drying a load of laundry because the dryer&rsquo;s capacity doesn&rsquo;t match with the washer&rsquo;s capacity.</p>
<p>Kitchen sets further expand on this idea. Not only do you create a sleek kitchen with matching appliances, but you also get similar features across your refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. Plus, with one <a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/kitchen-appliance-packages/" target="_blank">kitchen appliance package</a>, you save money and receive most of your major appliances in one swoop!</p>
<h2>How to Measure for New Appliances</h2>
<p>Measuring for your <a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/appliances/" target="_blank">new appliances</a> can be tricky, but we&rsquo;ll help you get a fix on the basics.</p>
<p>Be sure to measure at least three times for every measurement and to write them all down with the appropriate labels so you know which number means what.</p>
<h3>How to Measure for a New Washer and Dryer</h3>

<h2>Some of Our Favorite Appliance Features</h2>
<p>Appliances have come a long way since your grandma&rsquo;s washboard and wood-burning stove&mdash;the features today are endless. With so many new features, it can be difficult to figure out which ones you think you&rsquo;ll need, but we&rsquo;ll guide you through some of our favorites. Who knows, they might become your favorites too!</p>
<h3>Fingerprint-resistant Finishes</h3>
<p>One of our favorite features is a fingerprint-resistant finish. Sometimes the constant handling of your appliances leaves them looking smudged, but with a fingerprint-resistant finish, not only will your appliance look newer for longer, but it&rsquo;ll be easier to clean too! Check out black slate, slate, black stainless, or fingerprint-resistant stainless finishes.</p>
<h3>Convection Baking</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/search/convection/" target="_blank">Convection</a> has been around for a while but still can&rsquo;t be beat. Convection uses a fan to circulate hot air in your oven cavity to produce quicker and more evenly cooked results. TrueConvection (or European Convection) further expands on this by adding a third heating element for even better results than regular convection, so your meals cook in half the time!</p>
<p>And, you can use convection to roast meats and veggies, bake pie and pastries, and of course to roll out batches of cookies!</p>
<h3>Wi-Fi Connected Appliances</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/search/smart/" target="_blank">Smart appliances, or Wi-Fi-enabled appliances</a>, are the shiny feature that everything seems to come with, from washers to ovens. But you find yourself thinking, do you really need it?</p>
<p>Need is of course subjective, however, the main benefits of appliances with a compatible smartphone app are maintenance alerts, energy usage visibility, remote access, and self-service troubleshooting. You can check on your laundry cycles (and turn on that anti-wrinkle tumble just one more time), see how much time is left on dinner or preheat your oven from miles away, and even check the contents of your fridge from the grocery store!</p>

Shop Local for Appliances: What You Need to Know

Wondering what to expect with your new appliance? Wonder no more; we’ll guide you through the key things you need to know.

<p>Did you just shop local from your favorite appliance store? Are you wondering what to expect from your new appliance, whether a new <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/refrigeration/" target="_blank">refrigerator</a></span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/ranges/" target="_blank">range</a></span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/dishwashers/" target="_blank">dishwasher</a></span>, or <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/dryers/" target="_blank">dryer</a></span>? We&rsquo;ll help take out the mystery of what to expect, including preparing for delivery and keeping your latest appliance investment pristine.</p>
<h2>Prepare for Delivery&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/appliances/" target="_blank">brand-new appliance</a></span> is finally on its way! Make sure to prepare for your delivery by clearing all hallways and doorways that lead to the kitchen or laundry room (depending on your appliance), and move any tripping hazards. Then after your space is cleared, measure all your hallways and doorways against your appliance measurements to be sure you have the room to maneuver tight corners.</p>
<p>Once you have your measurements in place, make a list of everything you need for installation, whether that&rsquo;s a 3-pronged outlet, a water line for a refrigerator, or a gas line for a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/cooking/" target="_blank">cooking appliance</a></span>.</p>
<p>If you need more guidance, check out our refrigerator delivery video for more specifics.</p>

<h2>Beat the Learning Curve&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Are you thinking about preparing to install your appliance or mulling over those brand-new features you&rsquo;ve never tried before? What should you keep in mind when getting a built-in appliance installed? If you&rsquo;re installing your own new appliance purchase, how do you know which parts connect to what? And once it&rsquo;s installed, how exactly do you get your range or oven to Air Fry something?</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s where the user manual comes in. Each manual should outline how to safely enable each feature on your new appliance and make your day-to-day a little easier. But if for some reason your manual is missing, or you&rsquo;ve lost it (we know, you put it down for just a second!), be sure to check our product page for a downloadable version.</p>
<p>But if you&rsquo;re more of a visual person, you can always look up what you need on YouTube. Videos like the one below, What to Expect with a Cooktop, provide helpful visuals and simplify that diagram you&rsquo;ve been staring at for an hour (we&rsquo;ve all been there).</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title="Cooktops" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zAtjOxMzhmI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for vendor-specific videos, we suggest searching YouTube for the brand name and the specific product or a feature of that product you bought. Alternatively, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/contacts/" target="_blank">give us a call</a></span> and we&rsquo;re happy to help you sort out your questions.</p>
<h2>Tips&nbsp;to Keep Your New Investment Pristine&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Buying a brand-new appliance is an investment&mdash;so here are a few tips on what you need to keep your refrigerator, oven, or laundry pair pristine!</p>
<h3>Oven Tips</h3>
<p>Whether you have a built-in <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/wall-ovens/" target="_blank">wall oven</a></span> or a slide-in <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/ranges/" target="_blank">range</a></span>, oven maintenance can be time-consuming. But with an oven liner, you can cut down on the amount of build-up directly on your oven walls. When it&rsquo;s time to clean your oven, you can remove the liner, then rub your oven down with your choice of cleaner. Viol&agrave;! Your oven is sleek and shiny again!</p>
<p>Another tip for your cooking area is a gap guard: If if your range isn&rsquo;t quite flush with your countertops, a gap guard will prevent food from falling through the cracks.</p>
<h3>Refrigerator Tips</h3>
<p class="paragraph">Did you know you can use liners on your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/refrigeration/" target="_blank">refrigerator</a></span> shelves too? Make cleaning out your food drips and spills easier with a removable shelf liner, and extend the brand-new look of your shelves.</p>
<p>Another fridge-organization tip, especially if you&rsquo;re tired of everyone moving your drinks from where you placed them, is to organize your fridge with a beverage holder so all your soft drinks stay chilled in one place.</p>
<h3>Laundry Tips</h3>
<p>With <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.rtappliance.com/catalog/laundry/" target="_blank">laundry appliances</a></span>, it&rsquo;s easy to think that you won&rsquo;t have to do any maintenance. But there are a few things you can do to keep your new washer and dryer in tip-top shape.</p>
<p class="paragraph">For your washer, you can avoid that mildew smell by leaving the lid open after every wash. Make sure your curious cat or climbing toddler can&rsquo;t reach the top of the washer!</p>
<p>Dryer maintenance is pretty simple: just remember to clean your lint trap regularly to avoid any fire hazards and to ensure your clothes come out dry the first time. Don&rsquo;t forget to wipe off any lint that falls on your washer or dryer surface to reduce your home&rsquo;s allergens.</p>
