Hello everyone,
I have an appointment at the kitchen studio next Saturday and I’m preparing for it. Specifically, I’m looking for the appliances I want to have later in the kitchen. I’ve been researching a lot from brands like Neff / Siemens, Miele, Bora, etc., but I’m not making much progress.
For example, the current selection at Siemens looks like this:
Dishwasher IQ300 SN636X03MD
Oven IQ700 HB634GBS1
Microwave IQ500 HF15M264
Cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor EX801LX34E
or
2 x Cooktop IQ700 EX375FXB1E with extractor IQ700 LF16VA570
(The cooktop with integrated downdraft is the only fixed requirement, unfortunately I don’t have any influence on that ^^)
I actually value quality, energy efficiency, and a balanced price-performance ratio. But how can I find out if what you pick is really good? Or if there are possibly cheaper but equally high-quality products from other manufacturers. For example, the cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor from Miele—according to the catalog, it’s cheaper but just as good or even better?

So, in the internal ranking, all electric mowers score a maximum of 1.9. Proper gas-powered models are all at three and above. The Sabo bought from Knallkörper even reaches four. At the top are Husqvarna and the indestructible aluminum models from Stiga with two-stroke engines.
So, if you spend 400 kilograms (880 pounds) on a house, I don’t think it’s wise to save 340 kilograms (750 pounds) on the mower. I think so. Karsten[emoji1]

That’s why I prefer a modern battery-powered mower instead of a noisy nuisance for the neighborhood. Or, for those who can afford it and if the property conditions allow: a robotic lawn mower. It also results in better lawn care.

I have a 150€ (about $160) cordless mower, and it does what it’s supposed to do without bothering anyone because cordless mowers are simply quieter.
Of course, a professional would probably tear apart my cordless mower.
(By the way, how do you manage to spend 15,000€ (about $16,000) on an IKEA kitchen? The appliances alone must cost around 10,000€ (about $10,700).)
Why do you choose handleless cabinets? Don’t you actually use your kitchens, to be blunt? There really isn’t anything less practical – you end up almost breaking your fingers on those things. Especially opening the fridge is really difficult. And that’s already the case in the showroom, where the fridge is not even running, which means it’s even harder to open when it’s in use because the door tends to pull itself closed.
