I currently have an oven from Amica and it is a nightmare. At a set 160 degrees it only reaches 140, at 200 it heats up to 220. The grill function is very uneven; in addition, even with top/bottom heat a fan is always running, so things take longer in the back than in the front. Awful. Three years ago I placed a tin on the stove, and every time I get annoyed about the lousy oven, 10 euros go in it. By now I have almost saved up a thousand. A Siemens oven is to go into the new kitchen. Rather simple in terms of functions, I don’t even need convection. A completely normal door is enough for me, even if the oven is installed a bit higher. (I found that amusing at my neighbor’s. She bought her kitchen in a kitchen studio, had the oven installed higher – but she is only 1.60m tall. She can get light things in, but can’t lift a filled roasting pan that high. So after a few months it was rebuilt....)

We decided against Slide&Hide and chose the regular Neff oven.

How long is the oven door open that you can bump into it?
Normally, you should close the door as quickly as possible to avoid losing too much heat.
In our case, the door stays open max. 1 minute to check or take out baked goods and is then closed again.
Bumping into it is hardly possible—unless you are very forgetful

At least that was our viewpoint and not worth an extra approx. 200 € to us.

Fits roughly, not even a minute. But even 10 seconds count for me and my argument, because personally, I have already brushed my forearm against the door several times when putting in (after preheating) and pushing, pulling, or taking out baked goods—and have burned myself. I'm not particularly clumsy, but now I just don’t have to be especially careful anymore and have a (for me) clear added benefit.

By the way, our surcharge was about 100 euros, so only half of yours. At 200, I might have thought twice with an open outcome

I haven’t burned myself on an oven door in decades ...

But isn’t this a picture thread?

It probably also depends on usage habits. I would rather prefer a side door if arm length is a problem. Simpler mechanics, no loss of space in the cooking area, and easy to clean (even with short arms).

*sigh* but that would protrude into the kitchen... okay, if you’re making a house 2 meters wider anyway, which the kitchen would get a share of (which might make ergonomics a bit more difficult) I’m going to bow out of this discussion now (reminds me of cars and stuff )

Then I'll quickly insert 2 pictures from this morning at 7:00 AM.

Everything is prepared so that the roof tiles can go on and the windows can be installed. Next week we will be "sealed"
