In the kitchen, the installation of the property front is still missing. I have to saw it myself and attach hinges due to the well-known IKEA kitchen / Siemens property issue.

That's exactly why they make the (large-capacity) dishwashers (whether Siemens, Bosch, Neff, etc.) which almost all have a vario hinge. That fits and works perfectly. No fiddling or sawing. Just screw it on and that's it.

Only a 45 cm machine would fit, were there any of those as well?
In addition, I wanted a specific one from Siemens with HomeConnect and "a lot" of efficiency ...

HomeConnect and "a lot" of efficiency ...

Could you briefly explain what benefits you expect from the connection, i.e., what application scenarios?
How much difference does the efficiency actually make in price and consumption?

Is that your only and complete kitchen in the house?

Otherwise, I still had something in the back of my mind about lowering the dishwasher by a few centimeters and not having to segment anything for "normal" machines... although I think I recognize a semi-integrated machine, which rules that out again.

, looks great, are there other pictures after the renovation?

Only a 45 cm machine would fit, were there any available at that size?

Yes, of course. The Siemens SR93EX28LE.

Besides, I wanted a specific Siemens model with HomeConnect

HomeConnect is just a gimmick. But nothing more or less - I have it too and the phone beeps when the program is finished. Or tells me when there aren't enough tabs left.

But no 800mm high front from Ikea fits there either – right?

Otherwise, I find HomeConnect quite OK. I usually turn on the machine when the photovoltaic system generates enough electricity. But yes, it’s a gadget (but many people play with it – right?)

P.S. I hope / expect to manage with about 1000€ for household electricity, hot water and heating for approximately 135m² of living space in 2 residential units (passive house with ground source heat pump + controlled residential ventilation + photovoltaic) ;)

Of course, I won’t be exchanging the machine now either; I will simply solve the "problem" since I was practically caught off guard regarding the Ikea / Siemens issue that was unknown to me until then.

But we’re drifting lightly off topic … :p
