The Most Expensive Appliances In The World In 2019

There’s no doubt that there’s a lot of appliances to choose from in the world. With all of the different options, you can find yourself a set of devices to match your lifestyle, personal taste and budget with relative ease.

Now, we’re all well accustomed to looking for the more inexpensive models, but what about those appliances which are at the opposite end of the scale? If you can believe it, some people delight in hunting for the most expensive coffee maker or freezer for their home. We’re not suggesting this is strange in any way – a lot of people look at things they can’t yet afford as being a goal to aim for and something to pursue. We’re going to be exploring some the best of the best regarding appliances so that you can get a glimpse into how the 1% live.

The Citrocasa Fantastic Orange Juicer

The Citrocasa Fantastic Orange Juicer

The first item we’re going to look at is an orange juicer. Most people tend to buy their juice drinks in cartons or bottles from a supermarket, but that’s not practised in every home. Some people can afford and often will only drink freshly squeezed juice, and this machine helps them to get it.

The Citrocasa Fantastic Orange Juicer is a device which costs $6300, which comes in at just under £4900 in the U.K. For your money, you get a device which markets as being able to create twice the amount of juice by squeezing the oranges 300% harder. It’s also allegedly easier to clean and takes up less space. Typically you might see one in a health club or a coffee shop, but they’ve also found their way into the homes of the elite too.

Venus Century Espresso Machine

Venus Century Espresso Machine

Many people can’t get going in the morning without a cup of coffee. However, there’s coffee, and then there’s coffee for rich people. The difference, you might ask? Well, typically it’s a superior blend of coffee, more expensive milk and sugar, and in this case a coffee machine worth $20,000.

No, we’re not kidding.

The Venus Century Espresso Machine was built to celebrate 100 years of its parent company, Victoria Arduino. What makes this device so impressive is that there were only 100 ever made, so to find one and own it will set you back the equivalent of £15,500. However, it’s rumoured to be worth it, as this machine makes some of the best espressos that you’ll ever taste. If you’re a self-styled ‘coffee snob’, this might be worth exploring further.

The Vinotemp Macau 1450 Wine Cooler

The Vinotemp Macau 1450 Wine Cooler

Do you drink wine? Are you a collector? Many people are. Some people have cabinets full of wine, not to be drunk but to display with pride. Of course, others buy expensive wine for the sheer hell of it, so it’s a big world.

Whatever your reason, you may want to look at this wine cooler for your home. Coming in at just over £12,500 in the UK, this Macau wine cooler is stylish, sleek and exceptionally pretty. With three finishes available, there’s no doubt that this would make an exceptional addition to any affectionate of the vineyard. However, that big size isn’t for show – a hefty 960 bottles of wine fit inside there, and there’s a constant cold temperature inside to keep them just right for toasting good health with or entertaining at parties.

Thermomix Food Processor

Thermomix Food Processor

Most people have a food processor in their home. That’s because they’re beneficial tools which give you even more options when it comes to how you cook. However, on average we might pay between £50 and £100 for our processor. Just over £1000? That’s not typically something you can afford to do.

However, for many people, it’s worth it to get their hands on the Thermomix Food Processor. It can do a lot of different things to make sure that your experience is a positive one, including blending, cooking and steaming foods to give you a comprehensive experience. Does this mean, however, that it is worth the cost? Well, that’s for you to assess for yourself.

Sub-Zero Wolf Freezer Drawers

Sub-Zero Wolf Freezer Drawers

Keeping foods cool until such a time as you want to eat them is something that no one is unfamiliar with, but we don’t often pay $4,250 for the privilege. That’s £3,300! These drawers are made to be luxurious and do offer a lot of space, but the price tag is enough to make anyone stop and think.

They’re custom-made to blend into the design of your kitchen without compromising on look and feel. This feature can make the unit a very desirable choice for a lot of people. However, it is worth noting that they are costly, and many people won’t be able to afford this type of design.

Skybar Wine Preservation and Serving System

Skybar Wine Preservation and Serving System

Well, if there’s one thing to take away from today, it’s that wine is a hallmark of either expensive taste or a big bank account. The Skybar Wine Preservation and Serving System is considered to be one of the most luxurious ways to entertain guests or unwind with, but you’ll end up having to pay $1000 for the chance to do so.

What you get here is a system which can store up to three bottles of wine all at once. It does so while maintaining a suitably chilled temperature inside, and all you need to do to access the wine is use the inbuilt pouring mechanisms. It’s an excellent way to get a chilled beverage on a hot day or to make your next door neighbour wonder if you’re secretly a millionaire.

Mugnaini Wood-Fired Pizza Oven

Mugnaini Wood-Fired Pizza Oven

The next item on our list is right at home inside the kitchen. If you’ve ever had a wood-fired oven pizza, you’ll know that it puts most other cooking methods to shame. There’s something about the way it cooks that brings out all of the flavours, and for some, there’s no going back.

For the price of $8500, or £6600 in the UK, you could have your very own oven installed into your kitchen. You’ll find that the system runs on wood and is made with adaptability in mind, offering you all kinds of different surfaces to merge with your home and not seem obtrusive. Not only is it suitably authentic, but it’s also large enough for family dining, and it’s even capable of baking bread. That means you could also add some homemade garlic bread to go with your pizza and have a real Italian night.

La Cornue Rotisserie

La Cornue Rotisserie

If rotisserie chicken has always been something you can enjoy, then you’re in for a real treat here. The La Cornue Rotisserie is a cooking tool which has been made to allow you not only the chance to cook your favourite meats, but also vegetables at the same time on the fitted tray.

The drawback? It’s going to cost you $10,000, or at least £7500 if you’re across the pond. Now, before you start to complain, consider the benefits. There’s no doubt that the food you cook on here will taste great, and with controls for heat circulation, you’re not just limited to chicken. Fish and other meats are also available for you to choose from, so there’s something for everyone to be happy about when this particular tool is in use. Just make sure you don’t overthink about the price tag!

Velocity HP1000 Tanning Bed

Velocity HP1000 Tanning Bed

For those of you who don’t want all of your appliances to be in the kitchen, there are other options you can consider. For example, how about a tanning bed? But what you might not know is that this isn’t like a lot of other tanning facilities that you can get for the home, because it costs around £34,000.

Naturally, a lot of you might wonder why on earth it costs that much to make a tanning bed. However, for one, it’s enormous. Like, it’s about the size of a bunk bed. It’s also got an inbuilt entertainment system, as well as provision for people to store and charge their devices. There’s also a whole host of safety features just built into the machine, such as a failsafe that stops you from getting burnt during a quick tan, as well as something which can cool down your body temperature if you get too hot. Impressive, right? These features are all pretty remarkable, but we’ll leave it up to you as to whether or not that justifies the almost £26,500 price tag.

La Cornue Grand Palais Range

La Cornue Grand Palais Range

This machine is more than just a cooking utensil – to many, it is an art form. You have to understand, this one of the best systems that money can buy, and is the only choice for the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School in France. If you want to get your hands on this luxurious piece, however, you’ll find that it’ll set you back £50,000.

What does this price get you though? Well once you’ve finished crying over the loss of almost £40,000, you’ll notice that there’s a cast-iron construction and that each range packs twin burners, with a gas and electric variant as standard. There are also two extravagant ovens which have airtight locks, so nothing will get in that you don’t want to. Finish that off with a porcelain enamel which looks magnificent, as well as the choice of 16 different colours for finishes, and you get something which is worthy of its spot inside the hallowed halls of the most significant culinary institution in Europe.

Kalamazoo 900 Series Freestanding Hybrid Grill with Side Burner

Kalamazoo 900 Series Freestanding Hybrid Grill with Side Burner

What is it with expensive items and long names? Well, the Kalamazoo 900 Series Freestanding Hybrid Grill with Side Burner is known for being one of the most pricey grills out there, but also one of the best. Starting at a price of $15,800, you’ll find that this machine is one of the more expensive options for people who want something impressive to cook with at the Sunday barbecue.

However, underneath the considerable price tag of close to £13,000, you’ll find that there’s a robust system that can work with almost any fuel. It doesn’t matter what’s to hand, whether it’s the wood, gas or even charcoal. The machine can handle it and still cook excellent food. There’s a lot of space on the grill, so you can prepare whatever you want and find that there’s room for more, and there’s a claim that the heat this baby can create will heat a small house. That’s some severe temperatures for any enthusiast to play with, and there’s no doubt that it probably justifies paying an extortionate amount for it.

Conclusion

All in all, these are some of the most expensive appliances on the planet, and you can’t help but appreciate how much better they seem than anything most of us have. It’s interesting to think that people would spend so much money on their appliances, but when you scale it up, it must seem like pocket change to them. What you have to consider from the very beginning is that any appliance you choose has to be good enough for your needs and requirements, and nobody else’s. You wouldn’t spend all that money on a food processor that shredded things in 12 different ways if you only needed one, so it’s just about common sense at the end of the day. However, seeing all of these appliances can be exceptionally interesting. You’ve got something to aim for and chase, and you can’t put any money on that. Motivation is a powerful force when you need it, and a lot of people don’t have that kind of drive in their everyday lives. Having something that they can aspire to and push for can make all the difference. If nothing else, you get to take a look at the best appliances money can buy, and see how what you’ve got stacks up. That’s always interesting, and seeing these price tags can make you think!
