    I’m moving into a new house in about 4 weeks and leaving all my integrated appliances behind. Great for the sale value, sad to be losing the miele bank.

    I need a new range cooker, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and fridge freezer, all free-standing (they put a nice fitted kitchen in, but did the standard thing of wanting to save money and not integrate it all, so it looks like a bit of a mishmash at the moment with different colours etc.)

    Total budget for the lot is £4-5k which is going to mean some juggling and compromises.

    The tumble dryer will be in the utility room so I’m guessing I can just mentally assign a White Knight and £200-250 there?

    Washing machine – I love my existing Miele but am not sure I can stretch to 800-1k in the budget. I know Bosch are well regarded so something in the £500 area?

    Fridge Freezer

    Liebherr I know are fantastic, but it’s a case of trying to fit it into the budget. Are there any tall, 70/30 or 60/40 Liebherr Fridge-freezers that particularly stand out at certain price points, under 800-ish?

    Dishwasher

    Much like the Washing machine problem – £500 bottom of the line Miele versus 400-500 Bosch?

    Range Cooker
    The house i’m moving to has space for a 100cm range cooker, and while i’m suitably nerded up on everything integrated from when I was designing my kitchen, i’m barely scraping the surface there.

    Note, cooking is one of my hobbies and I entertain regularly, so the oven is something i’m not going to cheap out on (but don’t have the budget to just go straight to top of the line).

    I do know that Britannia, Falcon, Ilve and Bertazzoni are well regarded, wheras Rangemaster is the more widely available choice but there’s a 1-3k difference (depending on model).

    Just how good/bad are rangemasters?

    This is the rangemaster i’m looking at

    Britannia seems to just be rebadged Ilve so I’m comparing the above with:
