ᐅ Feedback on the Ikea Kitchen

Hello everyone,
things are moving forward for us now. After visiting quite a few kitchen outlets in the past, we finally decided on IKEA. Mainly because it’s affordable – secondly, because the kitchen salespeople were almost driving me crazy in the end (a $1000 discount because the sun is shining…). IKEA doesn’t offer any consultation at all… not great either, but still better than that.
We were somewhat fixed on the layout because of the windows… now we are even more set because of the utility connections… The screed is already in place.
The cabinet fronts are Hyttan and Bodbyn – we will buy the appliances separately.
We thought the waste bin should be a pull-out unit under the sink.
A quick note about the tall cabinet row (since it’s not that visible) on the left side of the plan:
60cm (24 inches) cabinet, oven, 60cm (24 inches) cabinet, refrigerator, small freezer.

We would love to hear your opinion. Are there any things we absolutely should change? Since neither of us really has a sense for design, we would appreciate any tips or comments on that as well.
Thanks and best regards

@BeHaElJa off topic: What kind of device is that in the corner of your room? It can be seen in the first picture...

Our grain mill? Otherwise, there is also a scale and a kettle.

I see a flush-mounted sink in laminate. Was this already done like that by the fabricator?

Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about the operating behavior yet, as the kitchen was only really finished yesterday.

Can you say anything about the operating behavior by now? Despite the high price, we are considering getting the same unit.
Is it fair to say that the additional cost of over 1,000€ compared to a Neff DSG is worth it?

Well... at the end of the day, it’s just a range hood.
It makes noise and sucks air out (maybe a bit less noise than the ductless range hood would have – which unfortunately didn’t fit in our case).
If you don’t do a lot of meat frying or roasting, I think it’s more of a gimmick and not really necessary. I clean it regularly, but I haven’t really noticed any significant grease buildup.
We mostly use the range hood as a light.
