Kitchen & Price - Quick assessment wanted!!

People, people ... 92 cm working height ... can consist of a 72 cm high carcass with 5 levels, but it can also be made from a 78 to 80 cm high carcass with 6 to 8 levels (Ikea). Basically, there is always a price difference .. the more pull-outs and drawers, the more expensive.

Ikea kitchens .. can also be built higher than 92 cm working height, you just have to buy higher feet at the hardware store and cut the plinths yourself from the side panels.

... regarding kitchen planning .. I would swap the oven and the SbS if possible. This way, the fridge compartment of the SbS always opens towards the wall and you have to place items around the door on the countertop. For the base cabinets of the cooking island with the pull-outs, I would rather choose 3 equally high pull-outs or 2 drawers and 2 pull-outs. Do some storage planning, no one has as many tall items as you have tall pull-outs. And then you just stack things in the pull-outs again. I would also consider completely removing the tall cabinet with the ovens in the sink row, instead choose the high boards with 60 cm depth and place the two appliances next to each other with a hinged door with internal pull-outs underneath each. Whether this works out, you can’t tell without a floor plan.

Personally, I would do many things quite differently, for example, the raised bar makes the island usable only from one side. And what I generally have to say about kitchens.

our countertop is now 98...
I think it’s great, finally cutting etc. without back pain. Stirring longer in the pot will be interesting though Builds muscle in the arm, also good

The really stirring-intensive stuff usually happens in a pan anyway I will also get at least 95 cm, rather 97, if it’s up to me. My husband wants at most 95, even though he is almost 10 cm taller than me.
By the way, in an Ikea kitchen, changing the height seems to be much easier than the dishwasher thing…

... you are right about the dishwasher. Then the best option is an Ikea design with a raised dishwasher. And how to implement the raised dishwasher in an Ikea kitchen.

And working height is really an individual value, there are people who are 155 cm tall and want a working height of 95 cm and work well with it, there are also people who are 175 cm tall and find 91 cm just right. Our tip is therefore always "personal testing".

I don't want an increased dishwasher. I'm now making my peace with "fully integrated without Time Light" and will get a Miele, that seems easiest to me, and the salt container in the door is cool anyway. But I would have really liked some kind of remaining time display. However, not so much that I would spend over 2k on the dishwasher.

Have you ever tested an elevated dishwasher? I have had one for over 12 years and find it very comfortable and practical.

Yes, I have. I don't exactly mind it, but I don't think it's that much better either. However, it prevents the children from loading/unloading the dishwasher for years. And I do mind that.
