Bosch 800 Series 36″ Stainless Counter-Depth 4-Door Refrigerator


Voula has been with our appliance sales team for 23 years and can recognize high quality when she sees it. One of Voula’s staff picks is this Bosch 800 Series stainless 4-door refrigerator. This refrigerator has an expansive 21 cu. ft. of capacity and uses special features like VitaFreshPro® and MultiAirFlow™ to keep your food crisp and delicious. These features consistently circulate the cold air and ultimately balance the temperature and humidity inside the appliance. Even if your leftovers go bad, the AirFresh® filter will capture all foul odors to keep your fridge smelling clean. This model will save you money on utility bills with its ENERGY STAR® certified efficiency. It even offers smartphone controls with the Home Connect™ app. On top of all this, Voula says, “Pyramid-shaped ice is a bonus! Never clumps and lasts even longer”.

JBL Charge 5 Portable Waterproof Speaker with Powerbank


Christine has been in the Abt family for 6 years, but outside of work, she loves to tap into her creative side. If you’re looking for an audio device perfect for your hangout playlist, she’s got just the product for you! The JBL Charge 5 portable waterproof speaker provides the richest, clearest sound thanks to a separate tweeter, an optimized long-excursion driver and dual bass radiators. Just use Bluetooth to pair your smartphone or tablet and you’re set! If you want to make even bigger sound, you can pair two JBL speakers via PartyBoost for stereo sound. This speaker offers an impressive 20 hours of playtime and you can even charge your phone with it, thanks to the built-in power bank. Use it rain or shine, as it’s IP67 waterproof and dustproof too. Christine says, “This is the best speaker to have around the pool during a get-together”.

Miele G 7156 SCVi SF 24″ Steel Fully Integrated Dishwasher


After 24 years of sales experience at Abt, Jose has seen plenty of appliances come and go in our store. Still, this dishwasher stands above the rest! The Miele G 7156 SCVi SF fully integrated dishwasher is the ultimate environmentally friendly cleaning companion. EcoPower technology uses an innovative water feed to reduce water consumption, while automatic load sensing adapts the water use to match the size of each load. You can even accommodate larger loads with tons of cutlery with the adjustable 3D MultiFlex Tray. Want to reduce electricity use too? You can connect this appliance to your hot water supply for up to 50% savings. No matter what program you use (Normal, Extra Dry, Pots & Pans and more), this dishwasher is guaranteed to eliminate over 99.9% of the viruses on your cookware. Jose says, “This Miele dishwasher cleans well, it’s super quiet and holds a lot of dishes”.

Napoleon Rogue XT 425 SIB Series Stainless Freestanding Grill


Kristal’s been with our sales team for 6 years and if there’s one thing she loves, it’s authentic Mexican food. If you’re looking to grill up some fajitas (or other delicious recipes), try out her staff pick: the Napoleon Rogue XT 425 SIB Series freestanding grill. She says, “The large cooking surface and sear station make it easy to cook a variety of foods all at once”. This Napoleon grill features low-maintenance WAVE-shaped cooking grids that are completely rust-resistant. Below these are sear plates that provide precise and consistent heat with every meal. Even if your ignition goes out, the cross-lighting burners will automatically ignite the adjacent burners so you can keep cooking. Enjoy having all your supplies by your side with the integrated tool hooks. Use the side shelves to get your prep work done right there and just fold them down when it’s time to store the grill. 

Thermador Pro Harmony 30″ Stainless Steel Dual Fuel Range


Alexis, a 9-year Abt pro, loves trying new recipes at home, so when she provided her staff picks, it’s no wonder this appliance made the cut! This Thermador Pro Harmony dual fuel range has unique Star® burners that are designed longer and with more flame ports to create superior and even heat distribution. Two of these are ExtraLow® Select burners, which offer more precise temperature control. Five different settings cycle the ExtraLow® burners on and off in order to maintain low temperatures. This technology is ideal for simmering sauces or melting chocolate. The oven also has True Third Element Convection so you can heat up to five levels of sheet pans and still provide consistent results. When you’re done cooking multiple dishes, this Thermador model can also perform an ultra-fast two-hour self-clean.
