    & where from?

    we are having a new kitchen fitted and we need:

    a hob, ceramic with touch conrols & locking function
    a single oven
    a microwave grill
    an extractor hood

    i’m a fan of bosch stuff but this is due perceived image of quality, & i’m not sure if this is a valid point or not. i’m not after anything too expensive or fancy, just something nice and reliable in silver (preferably brushed) colour.

    (also need an american style fridge freezer & integrated dishwasher too, but am aware this is the wrong forum)

    can anybody recommend appliances & stockists or is this too much of a “how long is a piece of string?” kind of question. we are getting prices from howdens who are supplying our kitchen but obviously want to shop around for the best deal.

    thanks in advance,
    bryn

    Hi brimble


    Generally speaking the Neff products are among the best in their price range. They come from the same stable as Bosch but do have a slightly better spec and are cheaper too. I posted this earlier today which may help

    I would go for a ceramic hob rather than halogen, there is very little difference when it comes to reaction speed and yes the pots are more expensive.

    When we refitted our kitchen just over a year ago we went for a Neff T1323 as it was frameless ( no little dirt edging to keep cleaning) touch control (again much easier to keep clean) and it also looks good. The touch controls are easy to use and the child lock is useful when the grandkids are around 😉

    Is the microwave to freestanding or built in and what sort of design hood are you after, the Neff site may be invaluable here as well 😉 .

    As for American fridge freezers there is loads of info and discussions in the refrigeration forum and while you are reading this site thisarticle in our buying guide may help.

    thanks don. i have also been shown some fagor gear & the shop seemed to rave about them, but i’m not sure, i’ve never heard of them.

    there is a slight update too.

    the microwave is to be fitted

    the oven needs to be able to be supplied by a 13 amp power supply but nowhere seems to state what supply the appliances use.

    i’d like a chimney style extractor.

    are the induction hobs any good?

    i’m also after an integrated dishwasher

    i’d like the hob, oven, & microwave to be matching (not too concerned with the dishwasher and hood though.

    my budget is £1400 maximum.

    any specific suggestions with this criteria?

    thanks in advance

    Hi brimble

    I`ve no problems at all with Neff products, they are all through our new kitchen and utility room 😉

    The T1322 hob is now discontinued, nothing wrong with that as long as the supplier still has stock.

    B1422 single oven has a couple more otions ie half width grill and the aquacleanse cycle, if you don`t need these then go for the B1322, it`s slightly cheaper too.

    H5474 microwave is a fully built in unit, not cheap either.

    S54E53 is a good built in dishwasher, it`s far and away our best selling integrated dishwasher.

    Like you say a cheap hood? The Baumatic will do a “job” but how long will it last? I`ll just consult my piece of string 😆

    Either of the single ovens will run on a 13A socket so your`e okay there.

    I don`t know if you can purchase all of this within the budget or not? If you can`t and you have to compromise the only area would be the microwave. Sharp produce some build in options here Panasonic used to but I can`t find anything on their website I know you wouldn`t have a match but if it`s the difference of coming in or near to the budget then it`s probably worth considering.

    If you are going for stainless steel then you will definately need some of this Chromol 500ml stainless steel cleaner I have had superb results with it and it lasts really well.
