Top 10 Specialty Appliances
for March 2023

If you've ever owned a house, you've probably had to perform some appliance repair. Whether it was fixing a broken window, repairing a cracked tile, or repainting a kitchen appliance, you probably faced the same problem: finding an appliance paint that matched the color and sheen of the appliance. The Rust-Oleum Touch Up Paint is the perfect solution. It dries to the touch in 10 minutes, and covers between 0.25-0.5 sq. ft. per bottle. It matches most common appliance colors and finishes, including stainless steel, chrome, white, and nickel. It dries to a tough, glossy finish. The cap features a brush underneath the cap, so you can easily touch up small scratches and chips. And, it dries quickly, so you won't have to wait hours for the paint to dry.

The 213174 Specialty Brush Bottle from Rust-Oleum is a handy, .6-ounce bottle with a brush that conveniently fits in its cap. The bottle is dark, so it's easy to find in a cabinet or drawer, and it's easy to use. The brush is tapered, so you can apply paint to hard-to-reach spots, like the insides of appliance doors. The brush is curved, too, so it won't damage the finish on your appliance. The paint is sprayable, so you can apply a thick layer for high-gloss coverage, or a thin coat for a satin finish. The paint dries quickly, so you can use it to repair scratches or chip marks in a much shorter time than it would take to sand off the original finish. The paints are touchup, so they won't ruin the original finish, and they won't damage other surfaces, either. The paints are free of lead, mercury, and cadmium, and the paints are low-odor and water-based, so they won't give off a strong odor. The paints come in 22 colors and are labeled as being safe for food contact. The Specialty Brush Bottle from Rust-Oleum is a suitable choice if you're repairing appliances that have dark finishes. It's also a good choice for touch-ups on appliances that have metal or porcelain finishes, or for repairing enamel on porcelain sinks.

The coating is specially formulated for special needs of appliances, cabinets, and other indoor metal objects, and it provides a tough, durable, glossy, and scratch-resistant finish.

After applying the coating, the appliances are ready to use immediately. The coating dries quickly and is resistant to most household chemicals, including acetone, bleach, alcohol, and nail polish remover. The coating is not affected by heat, and it does not yellow with age. The coating is VOC-free, and it provides a tough, durable, glossy, and scratch-resistant finish for appliances, cabinets, and other indoor metal objects.

The 8-slice Express Finish toaster from Cuisinart is stylish, well-made, and boasts the most functional features of any toaster we tested. It has four preset functions, including a defrost function, which warms frozen bread before toasting it. It also has an adjustable browning control, so you can easily fine-tune how your bread toasts, and it's equipped with a wide slot for thicker breads and bagels. It toasts quickly and evenly, and it's surprisingly quiet. However, it also has a questionable design. The slot is extra wide, so it's perfect for thicker bread, but the wide slot limits the slot's depth, making it hard to remove bread from the slot. The toaster is also fairly large, so it's better suited to countertop use than for countertop storage. However, it's sleek and attractive, and it comes with an attractive matte black finish.

Our top pick, the Instant Vortex Plus, has everything we look for in a air fryer, including a powerful 1500W heater, an attractive, modern look, and useful features. It cooks food quickly, and cooks it evenly. The temperature control is accurate, and the 7-in-1 functionality (air fry, broil, bake, roast, dehydrate, reheat, rotisserie, toast, warm) makes it easy to cook a variety of dishes. The included accessories are practical, including 2 cooking pans and a rotisserie spit, and the included app makes it easy to find and prepare new recipes. And, yes, the air fryer fries, roasts, bakes, and toasts, too. The Instant Vortex Plus also cooks food much faster than our previous top pick, the Philips Airfryer XL, which also took about 15 minutes to cook a batch of french fries. The Plus is also easy to clean, and the large 10-quart capacity makes it perfect for families. The only drawback is the attached rotisserie spit, which can be tough to maneuver. However, you can easily remove it for roasting.
