We have been intensively working on our kitchen planning for a little over three weeks now. Sometimes we even dream about it at night, but it’s an exciting topic.
At the moment, we have two options... a Nobilia kitchen (a good, solid mid-range choice) and Schmidt kitchens (a major European kitchen manufacturer), which we actually prefer slightly more in terms of quality.
The kitchen concept is mostly settled. Nobilia kitchens can be offered by various kitchen showrooms and are fairly easy to compare, so you quickly get a sense of the price and can find your spending limit.
However, we are at least 5,000 euros above our original budget and are a bit worried about starting construction with this in mind.
Do you have any tips or suggestions?
We have already cut back extensively on the appliances or only included what we really need. It’s simply the size that drives the total cost. We know that 10,000 euros won’t be enough, but hopefully, we can keep it under 15,000 euros.

Interesting how a hood without a filter is supposed to work well—it would be interesting to know how odors are filtered there without a filter. Berbel uses centrifugal force to separate fats, and only afterward does the activated carbon absorb the remaining odors. So, there are no greasy fat filters involved.

Because if a recirculating hood cleans 95% of the extracted air under optimal laboratory conditions, then the ducted hood does 100%. A ducted hood doesn’t clean the air; it simply expels it—only what it can capture, just like the recirculating hood. Sure, it’s probably more effective at removing odors, but overall it’s just a waste of energy.

Although the Berbel definitely looks very cool

If I hadn’t gotten the display model at a pretty good price, I wouldn’t have chosen it either, because back then, it wasn’t worth over €4,000 (about $4,400) to me.
But for the cost of your hood, you also need to add the ducting and wall outlet. And that’s where the “aesthetic costs” come in for us, because it would have looked simply awful in our home.
