Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Apr 26, 2007 9:06 am Hi all
I've got a good idea what my kitchen is going to look like (in the new home we are going to build) but I'm not that up to date on these (ever increasing numbers of) European brands for kitchen appliances... I know I want either a 90cm or 100cm freestanding oven - either single or double doors, prefer electric oven with gas top with matching range hood - budget for the kitchen, well this is my little part of the world so I'm happy to spend a significant amount on getting it exactly how I want it - so at the moment, the sky's the limit! .... Are there any brands that people can recommend? Thanks in advance Fiona Re: Kitchen Appliance Brands 2Apr 26, 2007 10:19 am Hello Fiona,
We've used Smeg Ovens,cooktops and rangehoods and no issue and looks great. But this time were looking at Baumatic (Italian made very solid build and not overpriced. Also check out Omega (lower priced Smeg - same factory) www.omegasmeg.com.au/ Re: Kitchen Appliance Brands 5Apr 28, 2007 5:59 pm If the sky was the limit for my kitchen budget, I would go for Gaggenau. I think their ovens are around 10k.
I think you can't go wrong with Miele, everyone I spoke to highly recommends it, it's not the cheapest but then I'm sick of cheap Simpson rangehood that doesn't do anything or my old Westinghouse cooktop/oven where the gas on the cooktop extinguished itself when I turned the oven on.

The feedback on Baumatic on the internet is very bad, we are getting Baumatic as a free upgrade from our builder, but i am not too keen on keeping it. If i could, i would go for Miele Re: Kitchen Appliance Brands 7Apr 28, 2008 6:22 pm Miele rangehoods are a little bit weak. They're very quiet but that's because they pull bugger-all air through them. We've chosen Miele ovens but have gone with an ILVE rangehood and cooktop (and an AEG dishwasher). Thank you fro your response, Simeon. It is good to hear that you have had a positive experience with Parisi. I am always on the lookout for reliable products, and personal… 2 4362 No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s 1 6636 2 4687 |
