Kitchen Phase 3 : Selecting Appliances

The kitchen came with a free dishwasher, oven, extractor and hob. We upgraded the hob to a ceramic touch control, but the other items had no value if the salesperson deleted them. Hence we took them on the basis that they could be replaced later if we weren’t happy. I’m actually really glad that we did this as choosing white goods is actually quite a challenge – there is little information on the internet. I was quickly heading for paralysis by analysis!

When selecting the washing machine, we wanted a high end make and the quietest machine possible, since we have an open plan kitchen and lounge. The best washing machines are widely believed to be those by Miele. However their integrated machine costs over £1000, more than twice as much as other high end machines. We narrowed our search down to Liebherr and Miele, again the same company. However they didn’t make a machine in the height we wanted. The Bosch and Siemens offerings in stainless steel were not as attractive, so we went for a mid range Bosch with a silver finish door.
