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

I like to use them as a comparison to Ikea when Ikea is supposed to look good

I partly financed my studies as a kitchen fitter, I know a few kitchens.

There is a world of difference in quality between Nobilia and Ikea. After Nobilia come the well-known cheap kitchens like pino, wellmann or impuls, and then comes IKEA.

As I said, they are identical in construction. I don't rely on hearsay. I could now also put both "variants" on a postal scale, but my experience is that facts don't interest you further. The claim that Nobilia is much better than Ikea is a mere assertion that cannot be proven if you exclude the electrical appliances from consideration.

Nobilia 3.0 IKEA 1.9 The ranking ranges from 4.1 to 1.6. IKEA is therefore pretty much at the very bottom, while Nobilia is good mid-range. The lightly mentioned above: 3.6. Clearly better than Nobilia, Schmidt, Häcker Classic/classicArt, etc. (E-Geräte spielen hier keinerlei Rolle) Blum hinges: No, those things are not identical, otherwise there wouldn't be a separate production line. Qualitatively one level below Impuls, Pino, Wellmann, etc...

What is the ranking based on?

No, the things are not identical, otherwise there would be no separate production line.

Which is not true.. yawn.

... you quote and explain things out of context.

One criterion in the ranking is, for example, cabinet width flexibility .. Ikea performs poorly here and loses points.

For comparison, you really have to read 2 manufacturers side by side. And there, a manufacturer with 1.9 points can be better than one with 3.1 points if the points that matter to you are met by the manufacturer.

And regarding Blum, yes, there is a separate series, but it is not explicitly limited to Ikea. And your ranking regarding Nobilia, Pino, etc. does not simply apply and varies by program for the manufacturers as well. Especially since Pino, Wellmann are probably no longer relevant due to the Alno insolvency.

And regarding Blum, yes, there is a separate series, but it is not explicitly limited to IKEA.

Who else is getting the IKEA hinges?
