New Kitchen = New Appliances. Help please.

[mercurystar999]

I’m after an integrated Dishwasher, Double oven, 5 burner gas hob, 70cm extractor hood, american fridge freezer

Wanted to spend around £350 for the dishwasher
Double oven £500
Hob £350
Hood £150
Fridge freezer £900 – £1000

Dishwasher i currently have is AEG but i think the quality has fallen so was thinking Bosch, although Smeg have been recommended on here?

Double ovens i like are Zanussi although i know they don’t have the best name.

I like an Electrolux hob this one in particular: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/electrolux … 7-pdt.html

Although they don’t have the best name, is there a lot to go wrong with a hob?

With the hood i’ve been looking for one that is as quiet as possible yet a good extraction rate of over 550cm3

American fridge freezers i like are Samsung ones. Now the one i’m looking at is the G series and has a 5 year guarantee and £100 cashback and can be had for £899 before cashback. Seems competitive and with a good guarantee.

Would really appreciate some help

Thanks Neil

Bosch SMV50C00 would fit the bill.

Double oven £500

Assuming this is a built in double I would stay with Bosch and look at the HBM13B221. Colour of fascia will also affect the price as well 😉 Gorenje could be an option too.

Hob £350

I could go with that hob. Before you decide take a look at the Gorenge G760AX with it’s five year warranty.

Hood £150

Hoods are a bit of a minefield as far as designs go, you can have chimney. straight or curved glass and so on.

Fridge freezer £900 – £1000

It’s well reported on here and other sites as well that Samsung have had problems in the past. What the new crop are like I don’t know but I’m sure someone will chip in with some accurate info. If it were me I would be upping the budget and looking elsewhere.

Deleted your other thread as you seem to have covered it’s content here.

What is the general consensus with Gorenje? Their dishwasher is keenly priced and has a 2 year warranty the same as the Bosch. I can get it for £269. Cheapest i can find for the Bosch is £399 so a fair bit of difference.

Same with the oven. The top of the range Gorenje has a 5 year warranty, is touch screen and has every function and some more. BD2136AX is the model number. I’ve found it for around the £600 mark. Never really heard of them before though. Cheapest Bosch oven is around the same price but no where near the functions or guarantee.

The hob is down to the look more than anything with the electrolux. It’s 5 burner gas on glass. I’m looking for something just like it. Can a lot go wrong with a hob though?

With the samsung having a warranty of 5 years surely that is got to be a good thing? What kind of thing is recommended. Didn’t want to spend much more though.

Thanks again for your help

Hi

We have stocked Gorenje products across the range for the last thirteen years. They produce good quality products and are about the best in their price range. All products come with a two year warranty while some built in and refrigeration will come with a full five year cover. Service is carried out on a local basis and spares are readily available.

The pure American machines like the Whirlpool and the Maytag are still the best rather than the clones which most of the budget manufacturers are pushing out. As a mid option the Bosch is worth a look.

However if budget of 1k is the main criteria then yes go with the Samsung with it’s five year warranty.

HTH 🙂
