Appliances for Every Era of Life

In Pittsburgh, we measure time in sports seasons, pierogi festivals, and construction detours. But here at Voss, we’ve also seen life unfold in eras. Since 1960, our family has helped neighbors find the right appliances for wherever life takes them. From the first fridge that’s mostly stocked with IC Light and leftover pizza, to the pro-style range you finally buy when you realize hosting Sunday dinner is basically your new personality.

The truth? No two people’s eras look the same. Some of us live with roommates until we’re 40, some of us go all-in on being the “host house,” and some of us just want a quiet dishwasher that doesn’t sound like a jet engine. That’s the beauty of it — your appliances should match your story, not some cookie-cutter timeline.

The First Place Era

Could be: First apartment, first house, or even your first space that’s truly yours.

• Appliance Vibe: Compact refrigerators, small-space laundry, starter ranges.

• Why It Matters: These appliances let you stretch your space (and your budget) while creating a home that works for you.
  

The Roommate / Found Family Era

Could be: Living with best friends, siblings, or chosen family.

• Appliance Vibe: Big fridges to fit everyone’s leftovers, dishwashers that can handle dinner parties, laundry machines that don’t break when four people use them.

• Why It Matters: Appliances that keep the peace (and keep things clean) make shared living easier.

The Building-My-Dreams Era

Could be: Career focus, personal projects, or moving into a space that finally reflects your style.

• Appliance Vibe: Statement ranges, smart appliances, sleek dishwashers, built-in coffee machines.

• Why It Matters: Appliances become an extension of your lifestyle and creativity — not just tools for survival.
  
  

The Family (Whatever That Looks Like) Era

Could be: Raising kids, caring for aging parents, lots of pets, or always hosting the neighborhood crew.

• Appliance Vibe: Large-capacity laundry, double ovens, French door fridges, durable everything.

• Why It Matters: When life is busy and full, reliable appliances are what keep it running.
  
  
  
  

The Simplify & Streamline Era

Could be: Downsizing, decluttering, or just wanting less hassle.

• Appliance Vibe: Induction cooktops, drawer dishwashers, energy-efficient laundry, under counter fridges.

• Why It Matters: It’s all about appliances that make life easier and fit a more intentional lifestyle.
  
  

The Hosting Era

Could be: You’re the go-to house for game days, pasta nights, or holiday meals.

• Appliance Vibe: Wine and beverage centers, ice makers, pro ranges, double dishwashers.

• Why It Matters: Appliances that bring people together help you lean into what you love: feeding and gathering your people.

The Legacy Era

Could be: Building a kitchen you’ve dreamed of, investing in appliances that last, passing traditions down.

• Appliance Vibe: Pro-style ranges, custom panel refrigerators, heirloom-quality brands.

• Why It Matters: These are the pieces that become part of your story and your family’s memories.

Why Voss?

At the end of the day, appliances aren’t just machines. They’re the backdrop for late-night talks over reheated Primanti’s, the reason your cousin still begs you to host Christmas Eve, and the thing that saves you when the laundry pile looks like Mount Washington.

For three generations, the Voss family has been in the thick of it with you — juggling schedules, hauling in new ranges, fixing the old ones, and laughing through the chaos that comes with being a family business in Pittsburgh. We don’t just sell appliances; we live them, every day.

So whatever era you’re in — first apartment, found family, foodie dreams, or simply trying to keep up with the laundry; we’ve got the appliances (and the people) to make it all a little easier.
