EP25: Luxury Appliances with Mike Robertson of Fuse Specialty Appliances
Mike Robertson is the Managing Partner / Co-Founder of Fuse Specialty Appliances. Mike's experience with Best Buy lead him to become familiar with the industry and got his start in selling kitchen appliances and continued to get inspired from there. After many different paths, including his executive role at Monark Appliances, in the appliance industry, Mike ended up launching Fuse Specialty Appliances with two other well experienced partners.
Fuse was founded on a passion of the customer experience, with beautifully appointed showrooms and knowledgeable operators. Fuse has grown to become the southeast's largest independently owned premium appliance provider and one of the country's largest suppliers of its kind.
LISTEN to LEARN when you should start looking for appliances in the remodeling process. START EARLY. Sometime before breaking ground on your new home, looking for appliances is actually suggested.
Learn how to avoid nightmare stories when buying appliances. Make sure the trades align as there are different factors that go into the proper installation of your cabinets and how the appliances will ultimately be affected based on where the spec measurements configure with your plumbing, electrical, gas and other factors. Make sure the designer, architect and all trades are working cohesively to assure no surprises arise later in the project. For example, check that your electrical lines are run in the proper locations based on the exact appliances that you are purchasing. The better you plan through the remodel, the better the appliance installation will go. Work with an appliance dealer who will consult and review your plans to make sure these challenges are avoided based on the specs.
WHAT'S TRENDING? Microwave Drawers and Steam Ovens are the two most popular items in kitchen appliances that Mike has seen grown in popularity. Smart kitchen technology has come a long way, and is evident when looking at the evolution of the kitchen cooktops.
