Hello,

we received a quote for our kitchen.

The kitchen has the following features: Nobilia white high-gloss, handleless.
All wall cabinets open upwards.
The rest mainly consists of drawers and few cabinet doors (and one corner cabinet).

We decided on a granite countertop. What are your experiences with granite countertops?
We only know advantages, with price being the only downside.

All appliances are Siemens IQ700. What do you think of them? They should be good quality, right?
Induction cooktop, 80 or 90 cm (31 or 35 inches)?

Thank you very much for your opinions.

We are planning to go with berbel now.

Which model would you recommend? Ergoline 2 or the Smartline?
Can you explain the differences?
Also, what do you think about the berbel permalyt® recirculation filter that is maintenance-free?

Does it have to be the Ergoline, or is the Smartline sufficient?

I believe I read that you have a matte granite countertop. Is it perhaps honed (leather finish) or flamed and brushed?
How easy to clean is such a countertop?

Is it accidentally satin-finished (leather look)?
It is.

Just like any other granite slab. It simply doesn’t have a smooth surface. Just wipe it down and it’s fine.

Which one did you choose? We haven’t decided yet either...

PS: I’ve had a Siemens ceiling-mounted hood for 6 years, I cook almost daily, and I have never had any condensation drip down or anything like that! So I can’t confirm that!

Our dining table in the kitchen is made of granite. It’s excellent. I have a Siemens iQ700 dryer and washing machine. Very satisfied.
