Hello,
We are currently planning our kitchen and visiting various kitchen showrooms.
Every time we mention that we would like a refrigerator, freezer, and zero-degree zone all in one appliance, the salespeople grimace and say that there are only a very few models like that.
Over the weekend at MediaMarkt, we noticed that almost every freestanding fridge-freezer combination is equipped with a zero-degree compartment – this seems completely normal there.
This led us to wonder whether this is simply because these are built-in refrigerators, and freestanding ones might be somewhat more flexible? Of course, I am aware that I could research and buy any appliance myself to fit my preferences.
However, maybe there are real advantages or disadvantages to built-in combos?
I have already thought about this a bit, but I would be interested to hear your opinions and arguments on the topic!
A few details about our plans: We want an open farmhouse-style kitchen. The refrigerator will be located directly next to the tall cabinets (0 – 2.20m (7 ft 3 in)) and would either stand free at the end of the kitchen or be integrated into the tall cabinets. The kitchen starts to the right of the fridge, and to the left is soon the entrance door to the living room.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards,
Roppo

Oh dear, where have we ended up!
Men! Philosophizing about kitchen appliances.
Come on, leave that to the women and take care of the lawn mower and the spade. Or is the new generation of "forced potty-training daycare" so focused on the woman doing the hard work while the man whips up the sauces? Like in Africa, where the woman has to work the fields and the man just chats. Karsten

I also find it very difficult to find a reasonable combination of an oven with pyrolysisObjectively, I have to advise you that unless you have spare money to spend, the pyrolysis function is far too expensive relative to its benefits.
First, there is the initial cost, and then the energy consumption during the cleaning cycle.
Furthermore, all accessories, racks, and rails must be removed from the oven... (if they are even included at all!!!!! Many manufacturers skip these nice-to-have features because they don’t withstand the temperatures anyway.... and to avoid damage and customer dissatisfaction, they omit soft-close rails and similar features that you actually need).
So, you have to get a screwdriver out. When will you do that? Less and less over time, as time is limited. The rest then has to soak in the sink anyway.
In the same time, you could quickly clean the oven by hand. For the money saved, I would opt for an oven installed at eye level with a door that slides away.

Guys! Philosophizing about kitchen appliances.
Come on, stop that! Let the women handle it and focus on the lawn mower and the spade. Or is the new generation of "forced-childcare-sitting" so set on the woman doing the hard work while the man just whips up the sauces? Like in Africa, where the woman also has to work in the fields and the man just chats. KarstenI love cooking passionately and can also keep the household in order.
At the same time, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and handle the heavy tasks.
That’s what you call versatile [emoji14]

Hello everyone,
I’d like to briefly join the conversation about pyrolysis.
We have had a pyrolytic oven for 2.5 years, and I never want to go without one again.
We use our oven frequently and also cook things in it that tend to make it quite dirty.
Of course, you can always wipe the oven immediately after use, and then you don’t need pyrolysis.
But who actually does that?
And in my new kitchen, the racks can stay inside during the cleaning cycle, so the racks and the tray get cleaned as well.
Best regards,
Birgit
