Hi All
The last bit! – I am doing this in parts so that I have chance to focus and do the research on each item first .
Folowing the forum advice I went straight to Neff to look at ovens, decided I like the features of the Series 3 U15E42 in stainless. However the price is a bit rich for us (spent it all on the drawer fridge!) so I looked at what seems to be (on paper anyway) a good alternative at about the same level:
The Bosch hbm53b550b (£850 vs 1,000)Is my thinking correct and would this unit be German, or Spanish made?
Any other reccomendations ?Thanks again for all your help!

Re: Integrated kitchen fit out Pt IV – Double Oven
Hi Paul
Very little to choose between the two and only two more functions on the Neff, Quick heat option and low temp cooking are not on the Bosch. Either machine I would be more than happy to own.
Very little Bosch, Neff or indeed Siemens is actually made in Germany these days, if it were the prices would be much higher due to wages etc etc. Instead products are made elsewhere around Europe in Bosch owned factories. Trouble is when you check the model no. label, country of origin is normally stated as just EU.
I know they produce in Poland, Spain, Italy and one of the old Yugoslavic states just can`t remember which now. There are others, just can`t recall them all at the mo.
HTH 🙂

Thanks for all your time and help Don
If we have to trim the budget for the oven a bit, as an alternative to coming down on the features, what would you suggest as the next brand down ?

Hi Paul
I`d probably look at the Electrolux group of companies ( Electrlolux, AEG and Zanussi), Whirlpool or Gorenje.

Thanks again Don, hopefully we can get the Bosch but I will take a look at those.

sorry yes , tagged on to end of part II .. it was only small!
While I am on, can anyone tell me the wattage of the Bosch oven so i can check existing cable size cant find it on the Bosch or Neff sites – must be looking in the wrong place!

Really like the spec of the Electrolux EOD68043 – does everything I want and has the same facilities in both ovens which seems to be quite rare. There is probably an identical AEG version as well!
Cheers!

i was told it was slovakia. which was definitely NOT to be confused with the gorenje slovenia factory 🙂
but its fairly common knowledge some gorenje dishwashers have been produced under contract by bosch, in return for some bosch dryers being produced under contract by gorenje.
back scratching at its best…
