Kitchen manufacturer - which one suits us?

Hello, we are looking for a kitchen. We have already received three offers.

- Leicht €18,000 (Miele appliances) - one-man kitchen studio. Seller installs it himself.
- 2x Häcker €18,000 (Neff and Siemens appliances) from medium-sized kitchen studios.

And now there is an offer pending from Schüller (Value) - (Miele appliances).

We know that Leicht is the highest quality. Häcker is supposedly also good, but Schüller? We have no idea at all.

There is also the Next125 series. Can it keep up with Leicht or Häcker?

The fact is, we are currently €3,000 over our budget.

We are looking for a good, durable kitchen but it does not have to be Leicht.

Do you have any tips?

What are you planning for the kitchen? Do you have a kitchen plan? Which fronts, countertop, which appliances?

Leicht with Miele appliances, I would say, is better than Häcker with Neff/Siemens

I would see Next125 as almost equivalent to Leicht

Couldn’t you have the Leicht kitchen with inexpensive appliances (Neff, Siemens, Bosch) planned at the first studio?
The countertop could also be a lever to save.

Have you ever checked if you could get the electrical appliances significantly cheaper online? If yes, you could ask if they (if they are in their original packaging) could be installed when you provide them yourself. We recently finalized our kitchen planning and are doing it this way because it saves us a lot of money. The seller had no problem with it and even explained to us why online prices for the same devices are often much cheaper (because many more are sold in the same time, so a small profit margin per device is enough).
