ᐅ Kitchen appliances, seeking advice.

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the decision-making phase for the appliances for our future SchĂŒller 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!

And why does your girlfriend want to switch back to a ceramic electric cooktop?

She’s not really able to put it into precise terms. She used ceramic cooktops for many years and feels more comfortable with them. Whether it’s because of the residual heat feature, which induction cooktops don’t have anymore (I had to adjust to that myself), or other factors, she just said she still hasn’t gotten used to induction and would prefer to go back to ceramic. People are creatures of habit.

Sound pressure level stage 3 (dB(A) re 20 ”Pa) 44 | 45
Sound power level stage 3 (dB(A) re 1 pW) 55 | 56

at least according to the website...

Sound power is the relevant value.

I'm curious to see how much noise my kitchen hood from China produces – it is supposed to extract 1000 cubic meters per hour (m³/h). The core drilling was done yesterday.

If you are worried about health risks from induction, then hopefully, as a child, you didn’t ride your bike after dark with the dynamo turned on.

Possible.. but they advertise with this text: "With 44 dB(A), quiet EC motors, and energy-efficient LEDs for lighting, the Ergoline guarantees pure cooking enjoyment in its finest form." and this photo:

Maybe I am just too sensitive

I’ve been waiting for such a "smart" comment.

What do you think about the following three electric cooktops?
1. Neff T19TT06N0
2. Nett T18TS28N0
3. Bosch Series 8 PKM875DP1D

Good luck
