Here is a short report with some pictures of our kitchen. It is a LEICHT Contino with a Dekton countertop. Appliances are from Bosch, Miele, Bora, Blanco, and Villeroy & Boch.
We have been living in our house for more than a year now and use the kitchen daily. I think with this experience, a well-founded report can be written.
The kitchen played a central role in our house planning. We wanted to make it the centerpiece of the open living area. In hindsight, the cooking island was the right decision, although we actually do miss a small sink. An aircraft carrier would certainly have been the better choice.
Well, now let’s get to the report about our kitchen.
Furniture
Drawers
[*]The drawers are basically stable. However, some do not run quite smoothly and therefore cause unpleasant running noises
Fronts
[*]The Tocco front is really brilliant. It is very robust and above all very easy to clean without leaving any residue
[*]The Ikono front is also good. Since it is somewhat textured, cleaning it is not quite as easy as with the Tocco
[*]
Sink and Faucet
[*]We chose a simple but very large stainless steel sink from Blanco
[*]The size is brilliant
[*]Even though stainless steel scratches quickly and is rarely spotless, it is easy to clean
[*]The faucet from Villeroy & Boch is great, especially we really appreciate the spray function
Appliances
Bora Basic BFIA
[*]The performance of the induction cooktop is good, there is little to complain about
[*]The extractor works wonderfully. We could not have imagined that the downdraft extractor would actually extract so uncompromisingly
[*]The operation is a disaster. The round slider can only be operated roughly, so that something wrong is often selected. This is not so bad in itself, but there is no "back" button. So you have to wait until the control jumps back again. That is extremely annoying and makes quick regulation of heat and extraction impossible. 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. Bosch service is really great and ultimately our device was replaced. We probably just had bad luck
[*]We love the oven. For us, the integrated microwave is very practical.
[*]The automatic programs deliver great results. Highly recommended
Bosch SBV68TX06E
[*]The XXL dishwasher offers a lot of space due to its height
[*]The cutlery drawer proves to be very practical for us
[*]The cleaning results are not always satisfactory
[*]It happens repeatedly that the dishes are still wet after the washing cycle
Countertop
For the countertop, we did not want to make any 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 countertop
[*]Cleaning is child's play
[*]The look is convincing
