What you can expect at our Kitchener appliance store

The Kitchener Canadian Appliance Source showroom is still #1

Kitchener, Ontario, has been booming for almost two decades. The population has grown over 25 percent since 2000, which has led to an obvious influx in the purchase of all things home and a subsequent increase in retailers that sell home appliances. Many have come and many have gone, but the one constant has been Canadian Appliance Source at 4336 King Street East.

We set the standard a long time ago for selection and experience, so much so that regardless of how many home appliances are sold here, the vast majority of people looking for fridges, refrigerators, freezers ovens, stoves/ranges, microwave ovens, cooktops, dishwashers, washers, washing machines and dryers in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the surrounding areas build a visit to our showroom into their home appliance shopping plan. And we always deliver. 

We have the brands home appliance shoppers look for, like Samsung, LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Café, Frigidaire, Electrolux, JennAir, Monogram and more; we take a customized approach to every customer so they feel like they're getting help for their home specifically; and we'll always treat them like a real person who might not know as much about home appliances as we do, which is precisely why they rely on us to guide them in the right direction. These are all the tangible reasons we're still #1 in Kitchener, and we'll touch on each a bit more later on. But before we do, let's look at the intangible, the thing you'll notice when you're here in our showroom that will make you want to stay here.

We’re #1 in passion for home appliances

We know our customers do a fair amount of comparison shopping for home appliances, and we encourage it because the passion they’ll find for home appliances here at Canadian Appliance Source is clearly more pronounced. 

This is the case because we look for genuine interest when we build our sales team (that’s true of our Kitchener, Ontario, showroom and all our locations across Canada).

We want people to see home appliances as more than machines that do things, because in reality, they’re machines that make good things happen.

Take a fridge, for example. A layperson might describe it as a tool to keep food cold and fresh. They’d be superficially correct, but think about it from another angle: the right fridge could have a profound effect on your health and wellness.

If the fridge had more room for fruits and vegetables, perhaps you’d be inclined to buy more of them at the grocery store, and maybe even a wider variety of them too. The results of this could be (a) more healthy meals and less processed food in your diet, (b) a better example set for your children on how to have a positive relationship with food and (c) a more diverse menu for you and your family.

Now, imagine you had a quality oven/stove combination in your kitchen to accompany your new fridge ? something with more than the standard features. You could do more interesting things with those fruits and vegetables (along with everything else in your fridge). Maybe you’ll try new culinary methods and awaken a passion for cooking that lay dormant in you without you even knowing it? Maybe you’ll pass that passion on to your kids who’ll teach their friends? Maybe one of those friends will become a chef at a restaurant in Kitchener that becomes popular, reinvigorates a neighbourhood and contributes more to the city’s awesome growth? It’s possible.

A quality microwave oven in your kitchen might push you towards batch cooking a bunch of meals one day a week and keeping them in your freezer or fridge for another day. This would save you a ton of money by letting you buy your groceries in bulk, and it would probably cut your takeout bill significantly.

And if you’re either the hosting type or part of a big family, a well-designed dishwasher that holds more means you have more time to spend with your guests or kids at lunch or dinner because you’re not getting up to unload and reload. It also means you’re doing fewer washes, which means you’re saving water and money on your water bill.

As for the laundry room appliances we sell, a good washing machine/dryer combo can safely clean more types of material. This might be what you need to branch out your wardrobe a bit, which may improve your confidence at home and at work ? especially if you work in a formal office environment.

These are the kinds of things our staff thinks about when they consider home appliance recommendations for customers. 

We’re #1 in customer understanding

This ranking is far from an accident. We train our staff to prioritize customer understanding through the questions they ask, the answers they give and the home appliance recommendations they make.

The questions we’ll ask you are first and foremost about you, how you live your life at home and how you want to live moving forward. This will help us understand what home appliance features make the most sense for you.

Then we’ll ask you about what you value in a home appliance. Perhaps it’s performance? Perhaps it’s brand? Perhaps it’s price? Perhaps it’s something else entirely? This will help us narrow our recommendations further. 

After that, we’ll move on to the kitchen or laundry room you’re working with. We’ll ask you about the size, the colour, the lighting and what you have planned for the room in the future. This will help us eliminate options that don’t work for you.

Finally, we’ll ask you about price, what you feel comfortable with and what you’re prepared to pay for the features and benefits that really matter to you.

Based on all that, we’ll be able to prepare a tight list of recommendations. And when we explain them to you, we’ll do it in an easy-to-understand way because we know you’re probably not a home appliance expert.

And what we won’t do is fill your head with nonsense like “best brand on the market.” Best in the market is nothing. Best for you is everything, and if that happens to be an obscure boutique brand, then so be it.

We’re #1 in selection

We can get super granular with our recommendations because we have the inventory to back it up. We already spoke about the brands we carry, but under those brand umbrellas is an even greater range of styles and price points. We’ll have what you’re looking for, what you want and what you need. 

For a sneak peak, keep poking around this website for complete summaries of every fridge, oven, stove/range, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer we sell. You’ll see pictures, prices and the features/benefits of each product so you can start thinking about what you might like. When you come into our showroom, we can take an objective look and add our two cents.

We’re #1 in location 

Our showroom at 4336 King Street East is located just off Highway 8 at the Sportsworld Drive exit, so it’s easy to visit here from anywhere in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge or the surrounding areas.

Our showroom is super convenient for our residential customers who generally build appliance shopping into long days of running errands, and you can get a lot done where we are: our neighbors include Costco, The Home Depot, Casa Life and Structube and Smitty's Fine Furniture, you really could make a day of it. And if you happen to have your kids with you, Sky Zone, Sportsworld Arenas and Hobby and Toy Central all right here so you can use them as reward for good behavior on your home appliance shopping excursion. You could also use the many fast-food options in the area as incentive for your kid to be even more respectful and even more polite when they're in the showroom. These include McDonald's, Harvey's, A&W and Wendy's. And if you're home appliance shopping with your spouse or just by yourself, the sit-down food options are diverse and delicious, ranging from Moose Winooski's (Canadian) to Modern India (sub-continental) to the Mandarin (Asian) to Fionn MacCools (British style pub).

As for the commercial contingency, they too appreciate the proximity to The Home Depot and the food options, but what they appreciate most of all about our location is its position in Kitchener. No job site is too far away, and no client is going to hum and haw about coming here because it's too out of the way. 

Put together, this is why Canadian Appliance Source is #1

And it's why we plan on staying that way for a long time to come. Be part of that history. Come to our showroom for a look at the best selection of home appliances in Kitchener, and the best home appliance shopping experience in Canada. See you soon!
