ᐅ Which kitchen appliances did you get from Ikea?

Hello everyone,

I just bought my kitchen at IKEA yesterday, but without appliances.
Firstly, I’ve often heard that their appliances are not very good, and secondly, I thought 🙄 I could get them cheaper elsewhere!
So, I need an oven, a separate cooktop (not above the oven), a refrigerator (with a freezer compartment), and possibly a dishwasher!
How satisfied are you with your IKEA appliances, and which ones are the best?
I would really appreciate your opinions.

Best regards, Vronile 😉 😉

At the start of the catalog, so early September...

Most items are already available!

I’m not sure if IKEA appliances are good, but you can find brand-name appliances online at similar prices, sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive. Just try searching online. However, you need to compare properly, for example, ovens with pyrolytic cleaning function..., induction cooktops...

Don’t I have to do that everywhere???

Basically, I can only say good things about IKEA appliances. Most of their products offer excellent value for money (where else can you get a freestanding brand-name induction cooktop for €299 (about $320) with a 5-year warranty?).

In general, I would buy almost everything from there myself – exceptions are items that IKEA simply doesn’t offer, no matter how much you pay or ask, such as ovens with telescopic rails (which hopefully will change next year) or a steam oven, if I ever needed one.

The new top dishwasher model (Enastände) is basically one of AEG’s current high-end models, sold under a different name and with a slightly modified design at IKEA for a significantly lower price.

The only downside for me regarding IKEA dishwashers is the following:
I don’t like fully integrated dishwashers.
I would prefer a semi-integrated model with a visible control panel, where you can set the program or check if the cycle is finished without opening the door.
Unfortunately, there is only the inexpensive LAGAN model with a white front, and nothing more premium...

Best regards

That’s why the new dishwashers (starting at 499€) also include a built-in display that shows you how long the selected program will take. They also feature a colored LED indicator that projects onto the floor (red = running; green = finished).

I would generally advise against the Lagan model – it is no longer up to date in terms of water consumption and features.

I wouldn’t want to choose the Lagan either, precisely because it’s no longer up to date.

A display that shows me before starting how long the program will take is nice, but it would also be useful to have a remaining time indicator during the operation.
Unfortunately, this feature is only available on semi-integrated models.

Best regards
