Re: TECHINIKA KITCHEN APPLIANCES! YES OR NO? 4Oct 02, 2012 11:51 am and..... make sure the builder does NOT substitute the technika product if un-available with their cheaper builders range "bellissimo" drand appliances, because they ARE not great product. Re: TECHINIKA KITCHEN APPLIANCES! YES OR NO? 7Oct 02, 2012 12:13 pm every post i have read has been negative towards the technika brand but i have been looking online for other double 600mm wall ovens that sit side by side.. but can only find the ones that are ontop of each other might have to change our kitchen design to the 1x900mm wall oven.. or buy 2 seperate 600mm? Re: TECHINIKA KITCHEN APPLIANCES! YES OR NO? 10Oct 02, 2012 1:04 pm the blowing oven was the implosion of the tempered glass, not the oven "blowing up" electrically speaking. was pretty much rare case. I have heard of it happening to various brands. Honestly, the technika are ok, dont stress too much about it. I cook heaps and im not too concerned at this point about the appliances in the kitchen, dishwasher aside. I used to manage a major electrical retail store, and sold kitchen appliances for 15 years. yes we did not take the dishwasher we got a credit back. the rangehood, cooktop and ovens are all tecknika and they are all ok.

YES OR NO? 11Oct 02, 2012 1:22 pm okay well it is good to see a positive view for a change.. will speak more about it with my partner but he just says its your kitchen do whatever you like! haha.. not very helpful at all. how much credit did you receive for the dishwasher? Re: TECHINIKA KITCHEN APPLIANCES! YES OR NO? 14Oct 02, 2012 2:01 pm We have the tecknika rangehood and oven, we have only been in the house 4 weeks so far the oven has been pretty good, I actually find it better than the blanco we had in our previous house, the slideout rangehood is very noisy, we bought our own miele dishwasher so can't comment on them.

YES OR NO? 15Oct 02, 2012 2:21 pm i think its a decision i will have to make after i go over the ovens once more.. i cook a lot and the last time we bought a cheap oven all my cakes burnt on the bottom haha i tested the heat and it was way out of tune! since then i am paranoid Re: TECHINIKA KITCHEN APPLIANCES!

Did you get a choice of the range of appliances? Do you know which tecknika ovens are being installed? 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 4688 that will depend on the kitchen bench depth. you'll have to specify it so it allows for both the tap and the sink 1 7402 |
