Planning kitchen appliances. How to proceed. Market is not clear

But of course. I have myself ordered some of this type online because some were missing from my kitchen and Ikea is not exactly around the corner. They are completely identical. The dampers for snapping on, by the way, too. I do not want to deny that there is something better, for example, damping in the hinge cup.

Hello everyone,

I have an appointment at the kitchen studio next Saturday and am preparing for it. Specifically, selecting the appliances that I want to have later in the kitchen. I have looked a lot at NEFF / Siemens, Miele, Bora,.... but I'm not really getting anywhere.

For Siemens, the selection currently looks like this:

Dishwasher IQ300 SN636X03MD
Oven IQ700 HB634GBS1
Microwave IQ500 HF15M264
Cooktop with integrated extractor EX801LX34E
or
2 x cooktop IQ700 EX375FXB1E with extractor IQ700 LF16VA570

(Cooktop with integrated extractor is the only non-variable specification, unfortunately I have no say in that ^^)

I actually value quality, efficiency with a balanced price-performance ratio. But how do I find out if what you choose is actually good? Or if there are possibly cheaper but qualitatively equivalent products from another manufacturer. For example, the cooktop with integrated extractor from Miele. According to the catalog, it's cheaper but just as good or even better?

How do you approach this matter?

I think with BSH you already have a good price/performance ratio and otherwise every appliance always has special features and the more features, the more expensive.

For us, for example, pyrolysis, integrated microwave, and telescopic extension were important for the oven. In addition, a proper 60cm steam cooker. Dishwasher separately, great, especially very quiet because of the open kitchen, and also cutlery drawer, no cutlery basket. Refrigerator with 0-degree fresh zone. Then simply took the cheapest appliances that fulfill all that. In the end, we only gave up internet connectivity and partly bigger display, these functions just weren't relevant for us.

Otherwise, downdraft extractors don't work properly anyway, but that's another topic.

The dampers to snap on, by the way, are too. That there is something better, I do not want to deny, e.g. damping in the hinge cup.

So the statement was that these IKEA things are produced in a "more material-saving" way. So maybe they even look identical externally, but the materials used might be, for example, less dense, less resistant, less durable, etc.

So in terms of quality clearly a notch below Burger, Impuls, pino or Wellmann.

It's the same as with the cheap series from the big ceramic manufacturers. The good Nordlys doesn't want to admit that, but even there (statement from an employee in the development department!) the cheap series are made differently and are therefore cheaper.

What is wrong with all of you and Nobilia, Nobilia is also rated rather low in quality in kitchen studios. I speak of kitchen studio kitchens when it comes to Nolte, ProNorm, Häcker, Schmidt, or Leicht kitchens.....

Actually, as an end customer, I don't care at all whether Blum hinges or ones from Tsingtao Industries or from Wiszewsky, as long as they do what they are supposed to do. Whoever buys a 5,000 euro kitchen does not expect high-end, just everyday usability. This high-end fuss is such a male phenomenon anyway, I remember the Hi-Fi forum, as if anyone listens to Helene Fischer or Rammstein and cares that the speakers cost 7,500 each.

Um, yeah I’m listening.... It’s also my job!
