    We are just in the process of getting our new kitchen fitted. We have to go and get all our appliances but are confused about which cooker to get.

    Basically we need a build in cooker/oven and top oven/grill.

    We have been advised to go for a German make, i.e. NEF or SIEMENS but are unsure if we should go for a cheaper (run of the mill cooker) with loads of features or a more expensive one with less features.

    Our budget it anywhere between £600 and £850.

    We would like the following:-

    1. Stainless Steel outer that doesn’t get finger marks all over it
    2. Easy to clean inside, i.e. no nooks and crannys to get grime out of
    3. Energy efficient

    We would like one with stainless steel long bar handles as these will match our kitchen cupboards.

    What are you thought on what we should go for?

    What are the important point to consider?

    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi Mark

    Neff and Siemens are from the same stable as Bosch. The Neff range gives a better value for money product with as few or many functions as you require.

    Best way of doing it is go to Neff ovens compare the functions you may require from the different series then go to one for the full spec.

    When we refitted our kitchen last year we invested in some Chromol 500ml stainless steel cleaner. and I must say we have had great results from it. Don`t be put off by the price either as it lasts a long time, in a year we have only used about a couple of teaspoons worth. The interiors are easily cleaned as the surfaces are nice and smooth, the shelf racks are easily removed as ar the stay clean liners should the need arise.

    An oven which is well made, easy to use with well defined controls which are easy to turn. A reasonable amount of functions which will cater for most cooks. Easy to remove shelves and racks for cleaning and a clear and easy automatic timer.

    Depending how serious the cook is will depend on the number of functions to go for.
