By Rachel Wallace

When it comes to marking special events in life — be they engagements, weddings, birthdays or housewarmings — there is no more useful or well received gift than a quality kitchen appliance.

The last thing you want to do is gift a friend or family member a low-quality product. However, it can be hard to know if you’re choosing something that will last.

If you’re trying to parse the difference between products keep in mind three things — functionality; brand; and price. Things to keep in mind include:

  • An appliance should solve a specific need in an efficient and effective way.
  • Brands matter — they developer a reputation over time for consistently quality products.
  • Paying a little bit more can mean higher quality materials and better craftsmanship.

So, we’ve selected five premium kitchen appliances that tick all the quality boxes and make the perfect gift for any special occasion.

1. Soda and sparking water maker

Soda makers are one of the most popular gifts on the market — and it’s not hard to see why.

They’re super easy to use, take up minimal kitchen bench space (a win for anyone with a small home) and, of course, create fresh fizzy water in moments.

5. Air fryer

In case you haven’t heard, air fryers are all the rage right now. More than simply a mini-oven, air fryers are healthier than deep frying and faster than an oven.

They’re very versatile — you can cook anything from hot snacks to a whole roast chicken for family dinners.
