Here is a short report with some pictures of our kitchen. It is a LEICHT Contino with a Dekton worktop. Appliances are from Bosch, Miele, Bora, Blanco, and Villeroy & Boch.
We have now been living in our house for more than a year and use the kitchen daily. I think with this experience, a well-founded report can be written.
In our house planning, the kitchen played a central role. We wanted to make it the focal point in the open living space. In hindsight, the cooking island was the right decision, but we do actually miss a small sink. An aircraft carrier would certainly have been the better choice.
Well, now let's get to the report on our kitchen.

Furniture
Drawers
[*]The drawers are basically stable. However, some do not run completely smoothly and therefore cause unpleasant running noises
Fronts
[*]The Tocco front is really great. It is very robust and above all easy to clean without residue
[*]The Ikono front is also good. Since it is somewhat textured, cleaning is not as easy as with the Tocco
[*]
Sink and Faucet
[*]We chose a simple but very large stainless steel sink from Blanco
[*]The size is great
[*]Even though stainless steel scratches quickly and rarely is spotless, it is easy to clean
[*]The faucet from Villeroy & Boch is excellent, especially we really appreciate the spray function
Appliances
Bora Basic BFIA
[*]The performance of the induction cooktop is good, there is little to criticize
[*]The extractor works brilliantly. We could not imagine that the downdraft extractor actually extracts so uncompromisingly
[*]The operation is a disaster. The round slider can only be operated roughly, so that often something wrong is selected. This is not so bad in itself, however, there is no "back" button. So you have to wait until the control jumps back again. This is extremely annoying and means that quick adjustment of heat and extraction is not possible. In our opinion, not a well thought-out operating concept
Miele K 37683 iDF
[*]We are satisfied with the refrigerator. The 0° zones keep meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables fresh for a long time. The rest is somewhat unspectacular :)
Bosch HNG6764B6
[*]Unfortunately, the oven already had a defect in the first year. The Bosch service is really great and in the end our device was replaced. We just had bad luck
[*]We love the oven. For us, the integrated microwave is very practical.
[*]The automatic programs achieve great results. Highly recommended
Bosch SBV68TX06E
[*]The XXL dishwasher offers a lot of space due to its height
[*]The cutlery drawer proves very practical for us
[*]The cleaning results are not always satisfactory
[*]It repeatedly happens that the dishes are still wet after the wash cycle
Worktop
For the worktop we did not want to make compromises and therefore chose 12mm Dekton
[*]Sink and cooktop are flush-mounted
[*]The material is really fun. We put hot pots or casserole dishes directly from the oven onto the surface
[*]Cleaning is child’s play
[*]The appearance is convincing
