Best Home Appliances: Elevating Luxury Living by Marrying Precision and Design

Luxury homes embody sophistication, comfort, and personalized design. In such spaces where every detail matters, appliances are the perfect finishing touch. They seamlessly blend style and function to elevate the living experience. For homeowners, designers, and builders seeking this combination, Best Home Appliances delivers the expertise and white-glove service that luxury projects demand.

As a family-owned business, the company offers a level of accountability, warmth, and long-term commitment uncommon in the luxury appliance space. Clients aren’t just transactions. They are relationships built over time.

Founded in 1991 and purchased by Ashley Aakre in 2020, Best Home Appliances has spent over three decades cultivating lasting relationships across Arizona’s design and build community. That longevity matters, especially in a fast-growing market where deep roots are rare. 

Aakre’s path to ownership gives the business a distinctive edge. Before acquiring the company from its retiring founders, she ran multiple enterprises and worked extensively in real estate and remodeling. That hands-on background means she thinks like both a developer and a homeowner, understanding how the right appliance package impacts property value, daily living, and long-term maintenance. 

Under Aakre’s leadership, the team’s mission is simple and service-first. Pair builders, designers, and homeowners with the ideal appliances, and make the experience personal from showroom to installation. If many retailers typically sell off-the-shelf models, Best Home Appliances specializes in fully integrated, design-forward packages. Think column refrigeration, panel-ready dishwashers, coffee systems, and professional ranges from beloved brands. 

The company acknowledges that precision matters when crafting a home from the ground up. A single refrigerator may require a dozen or more separate hinges, handle kits, trim, and panels, all sized to millimeter-precise cabinetry. 

“We work closely with designers, cabinet makers, countertop fabricators, and electricians to make sure everything lines up: clearances, power, water, and ventilation. That’s where expert guidance really pays off. It helps avoid expensive reorders, last-minute changes, and delays that throw off the whole schedule,” Aakre says.

Depth of knowledge is another differentiator. The sales staff of Best Home Appliances is known for brand fluency and real-world problem solving. Team members bring more than 20 years of experience to the table. They translate design intent into durable, buildable specs, often identifying smarter configurations that balance aesthetics, performance, and budget. For homeowners replacing a failed appliance in a fixed opening, they are a one-stop shop that handles the modifications necessary for the installation. For ground-up estates, they package entire kitchens, bars, and outdoor spaces so everything works in concert.

Installation is equally specialized. Best Home Appliances fields a dedicated install team trained for precision work. They set integrated columns flush with cabinetry, anchor ventilation through stone, and adjust clearances so doors and panels operate flawlessly. Because these crews understand both the products and the homes they serve, they protect finishes and timelines while reducing punch-list headaches.

“Designers and builders treat our Phoenix showrooms like a working lab. Clients come in to see and touch the appliances. It makes a big difference in decision-making,” Aakre remarks. Private appointments with a designer-focused specialist turn selection meetings into turnkey working sessions, complete with spec packets and coordination notes for the broader project team. 

Customer feedback highlights the company’s impact. One client said, “The purchase experience was informative and no pressure. We needed to delay delivery, which was not an issue. When we were ready for delivery, it was prompt and efficient. Much better experience than the large box stores or large appliance stores.” Others echo the same themes: no-pressure sales, clear explanations across brands, and installations that protect premium finishes.

Best Home Appliances is now in expansion mode. It’s adding seasoned sales talent, deepening partnerships with cabinet and design studios, and extending its presence through satellite and remote teams. Aakre state, “Our vision is to become Arizona’s most trusted appliance partner for the trade, still family-owned, still specialized, and more accessible than ever. We want luxury clients to get precise results without the guesswork.”
