ᐅ Kitchen appliances, seeking advice.

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the decision-making phase for the appliances for our future Schüller country-style kitchen, and we are still quite undecided, especially on this point.

Range hood:
Visually, a retro-style range hood would probably fit best. However, these are usually quite expensive (for example, from Smeg). At the moment, we have planned for an AEG X68163BV10. However, this does not seem to be the best option in this price range. Does anyone have suggestions?

Refrigerator:
For aesthetic reasons, we chose the Geronje ONRK193C. Is it any good? (It costs around 1,100 EUR — we will not buy this together with the kitchen.)

Oven:
For the oven, it was important to us that it has as little stainless steel as possible (we don’t like that) and includes a pyrolytic self-cleaning function. We narrowed it down to three models (Siemens, Bosch, and Neff). Among these, the following Siemens model was the favorite regarding price/performance: Siemens iQ700 HB678GBS6.

Cooktop (Induction):
We are still uncertain here. Currently, the AEG HK6542H1FB cooktop is planned. However, this also doesn’t seem to be the best choice for the price. Perhaps you have better suggestions? But please nothing much more expensive.

Dishwasher:
For the dishwasher, a Neff GX665 (S52P65X0EU) was recommended to us. However, I have read online that models with zeolite technology are also popular right now. With Siemens/Bosch, there are many reports of problems (error code "E31") online... So we are also quite unsure here.

We are really looking forward to your help and tips.

Thank you very much!

@Neige You probably meant the wall system?

These are two IKEA Rimforsa rails, each 80cm (31 inches) long, priced at $9.99 each, with three baskets costing $12.99 each, two large glass holders at $19.99 each, and actually a tablet holder for $12.99 from this series.

I didn’t even have to repurpose anything. That’s just how it is. And it can even hold a Surface Pro for us.

And yes, the white one is our steam cooker, blender, shredder, grinder, cooking pot, and whatever else it can do. It replaces about 80% of our kitchen appliances.

I have been waiting for such a “smart” comment.

Well, what else can one say? Every electric current generates a magnetic field; that includes the current flowing through your non-inductive electric cooktop. However, you argue that an induction cooktop produces an additional magnetic field. That is simply not correct, especially considering that power consumption with induction is generally lower than with a traditional electric stove.

So you want to replace one magnetic field with another (potentially stronger) magnetic field to reduce any possible magnetic exposure. That will be difficult. The only way to resolve this dilemma is by switching to a gas stove.

Best regards,

Thanks! I think after all these years I finally need to go to IKEA again… I really like it. At the moment I still have a small tablet holder, but this setup is much better!
