The initial investments toward the procurement of smart kitchen appliance are on the higher side. However,  these appliances help customers reduce recurring costs associated with periodic maintenance and energy consumption in the long run. Traditional or modern electronics or electrical appliances conserve less energy but require periodic maintenance and incur high costs. The integration of sensor technologies in smart kitchen appliances enables the devices to sense the performance and alert the owners in case of any faults. This factor reduces repetitive costs. For instance, LG ThinQ is a smartphone application offered by LG Electronics for its smart appliances. The smart appliances are powered by self-diagnosis features, and diagnosis results can be accessed by end users using LG ThinQ application. Further, the application provides necessary troubleshooting instruction to users to diagnose problems, which eliminates the need to contact repair personnel for minor issues. The reduction in recurring expenses is facilitating several end users to procure these smart kitchen appliances.

Similarly, another advantage of smart kitchen appliances is the ability to communicate over wireless networks. These kitchen appliances can communicate with each other and with the owner through the owner's smartphones. Smart technologies enable owners to control, monitor, and access the appliances remotely. Smart kitchen appliances such as smart ovens allow the owner to switch off or on the stove from the owner's smartphone, which increases convenience. This benefit is increasing their demand among end users. Also, with the integration of various sensors and built-in cameras, smart refrigerators facilitate the owner to update the shopping list.

Additionally, smart refrigerators have screens that are used as notepads and to check the temperature and energy consumption pattern. The owners of smart refrigerators can easily control and manage the refrigerators according to the refrigerator's performance and switch between various modes through smartphones. These advantages of smart refrigerators allow customers to procure smart refrigerators for commercial and residential purposes, thereby boosting the growth of the smart kitchen appliance market
