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

We are currently also planning a LEICHT kitchen. Would you get another one from LEICHT installed? After your comment about the furniture, I can’t quite get an idea whether you are ultimately satisfied with the kitchen furniture or if the drawers bother you that much?

I think you have to be clear about what a kitchen consists of. The drawers are bought in and are also used by other manufacturers. These are certainly in the mid to upper segment. In our old apartment we had a Nobilia kitchen. Compared to LEICHT, it was a complete rickety frame. There is a world of difference between them. Still, not all drawers run perfectly for us. The fronts, which are among the core competencies of kitchen manufacturers, are really great. We will build again in our lifetime and then I would at least bring Next125 on board and take a much closer look at and compare the drawers. You definitely can't go wrong with LEICHT, but I'm just not as impressed as I am with the countertop, for example. Also important, look at the division of the grid. We have a drawer with a 4-grid system at the bottom. That is a huge thing and an absolute waste of space. We will probably retrofit an inner drawer. So overall satisfied, but not more :-)

Regarding drawers: We have Blum drawers with the Servo-Drive everywhere, and so far they run perfectly and are super easy to adjust (since I am very, very meticulous with gap dimensions, I adjusted them myself). For the electric refrigerator door, we have the Easys motor from Hettich, which, after initial difficult adjustment, now runs super reliably without any problems.

At least the actual kitchen is finished. Bought at Plana (...)- according to my own research, it is a Pronorm kitchen. Matte white lacquer fronts, ceramic countertop, Bosch appliances. Only the tile backsplash (Cifre Ceramica opal marine), the new refrigerator, and of course the lighting are still missing.
