We've already looked at how clever tricks can keep your home clean and your kitchen tidy. Now it's time to talk about something just as important - choosing home appliances. In the third part of the series "Grandma did it right! Little Practical Tips." I'll help you navigate through the many options on the market. We'll look at how to choose a coffee machine, fridge, air conditioner and other essential appliances so that you can make a sensible and practical investment for your home.

Coffee machine.

If you've decided to buy a coffee machine, the most important thing is to first decide what kind of machine it should be : espresso (standard, automatic or professional), Schwarz (standard or 3-4 bar pressure), there are also combo models. Espresso machines make the strongest coffee. Their prices range from 100 to 500 BGN. The most important criteria for selecting such a machine are :

• pressure - minimum 15 bar
• cream disc - for a thicker coffee with a richer crema
• steam, hot water, etc.

An encapsulated coffee attachment and one for warming cups are considered an added extra. For more demanding customers, we offer coffee machines that are based on the principle of coffee machines, but are pre-loaded and save you time and effort. Additional extras are : display, system for adjusting the coffee strength and grinding rate, cup warmer, coffee latte and cappuccino attachment, etc. Their prices range from 700 to 2000+ BGN. Schwarz machines are for the fans of weaker coffee. With them, the choice is between those with pressure and without. Additional extras : on/off timer, warming plate, coffee strength adjustment system, etc. Professional machines are designed for restaurants - with one or two groups, with central water supply. The wide range of coffee makers offers a huge choice of models for every coffee connoisseur.

Air Conditioner.

One of the most important tips that can be given is that, do not save money when you buy an air conditioner, because in most cases it turns out that the cheap purchase comes out expensive.

First of all, know the square footage of the room you want to put an air conditioner in and tell the consultant at the store to guide you to the right air conditioner. The best manufacturers of air conditioners remain the Japanese. Their prices are dramatically higher than their Chinese counterparts but the quality is without comment. The most important things to look for when buying an air conditioner:

First of all, make sure the air conditioner is inverter

Familiarize yourself with what temperatures it operates at because most Chinese air conditioners below -10 degrees refuse to work

Look at the conversion coefficient (CFC) you can tell the good air conditioners by this very coefficient if the air conditioner is below 4.00 COP then firstly it will not be economical secondly it does not have enough power but keep in mind the bigger an air conditioner is the more its COP drops

Familiarize yourself with the noise emission parameters, good air conditioners work up to 30db noise emission

If you buy a second hand air conditioner choose one with original remote control because with a universal one you cannot use all the functions of the air conditioner.

Summary: Air conditioning should be a long term investment so don't compromise, go for a Japanese air conditioner keeping in mind that whatever brand you get you won't go wrong. Osaka are not Japanese!LG- are North Korean and Panasonic are also not Japanese the Japanese name for Panasonic is National!

Dryer.

When choosing a dryer, power is important. It helps to get fast results. If you plan to style different hairstyles, choose a model with a volume diffuser or a straightening attachment. In addition, some models have a turbo button and a cold jet. Noteworthy innovations include : ionization, AC motor for long life, ceramic heater, etc. The range contains travel(foldable), standard and semi-professional models.

Refrigerator.

One of the most important things to check when choosing a refrigerator is its size. It is a good idea to know in advance what is the space in the kitchen you have designated for a refrigerator, because it may turn out that the appliance you like and bought cannot fit there.

Last but not least, the low price should not be the leading criterion for judgment, but rather the energy class, i.e.

Sewing machine.

If you have decided to buy a sewing machine, first pay attention to the number of operations(functions) that the machine model you like supports. The more the better. Depending on the model, they range from 7 to 100+. They are combined : standard and decorative. In the higher-end models, additional extras are : automatic weaving, electronic display, preset parameters for the programs, attachments for "difficult" fabrics, as well as an overlock-type attachment, an attachment for easier manipulation of bulky fabrics, etc. Last but not least of importance are the warranty period and the manufacturer.

Iron.

One of the most important things when choosing an iron is its plate coating. On this depends the ease of handling it other important criteria are the power and steam. These further ease ironing, especially on "difficult" fabrics. It is a good idea to ask if the given model has innovations such as : anti drip system, anti cavity system, auto shut off, ionised steam etc. The range contains travel(compact), standard, steam generator models etc.
