The Ultimate Guide to Buying Home Appliances
If you’re in the market for new home appliances in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the options can feel overwhelming. Should you shop online or visit a store? What size fits your space? Which brands balance performance and price?
At Canales Furniture, we’ve helped thousands of families in Oak Cliff, Arlington, Fort Worth, and Grand Prairie make smart appliance choices. Here’s what you should know before you buy—so you get the right appliance without the stress.
1. Measure Before You Fall in Love
It happens all the time—someone falls for a beautiful stainless-steel fridge or sleek washer, only to realize it won’t fit their space. Save yourself the trouble by measuring ahead of time.
Key measurements to take:
-
Width, height, and depth of the space where the appliance will go
-
Allow clearance for doors to open and proper ventilation
-
Measure hallways and doorways to ensure smooth delivery
Helpful tip: Bring your measurements to your nearest Canales showroom and we’ll help you find the perfect match.
2. Adapt the Appliance to Your Lifestyle
Each appliance type comes in a range of configurations. Start by thinking about how you use your space and what matters most—style, capacity, energy savings, or versatility?

French Door: Stylish with flexible storage
