Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Nov 29, 2013 12:30 pm I am currently researching kitchen appliances. I need a 900mm freestanding cooker (gas cooktop, electric stove) range hood, and dishwasher. I thought I had narrowed it down to either Glem or Bosch for the cooker and either Miele or Bosch for the dishwasher, not sure on the range hood though. My husband said Bosch is no longer made in Germany and I have searched for information on this but it's conflicting. Some say higher end Bosch is made in Germany, cheaper things aren't but does anyone know for sure? What other brands do you think I should look at?. I currently have appliances I absolutely hate, did a budget kitchen renovation a couple of years ago and knew were wouldn't be staying in our current house so didn't buy top of the line. Now we will be building I would love some reliable appliances that I enjoy using. Any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks.

We got the professional fx series which has the one large oven but also comes with a panel you can insert to just use half the oven instead. I can't wait to have a kitchen to put it in! In our current rental we have a Miele dishwasher and I would never buy one, for the money it doesn't seem to clean any better or quieter than a cheap one. As far as I understand it you are right in the more expensive Bosch products being made in Germany still. We were looking at a bosch washing machine but I spent a little more and went for the Siemens from the same family. Its amazing and had a 5 year warranty and they're all german built (or were 2 years ago when we were looking) I know thats Laundry but I assume its the same case for kitchen appliances too.

I will definitely have a look at the Falcon cooker, that's interesting what you said about the Miele dishwasher. I don't mind spending money on something that's worth it if you know what I mean but will keep looking, will have a look at Siemens. Thanks again, much appreciated Danette Loving our new home, Upper Hunter NSW on 2.5 acres Re: What Kitchen Appliances to Buy - Value for Money? 4Feb 06, 2014 8:46 pm Danette My husband said Bosch is no longer made in Germany and I have searched for information on this but it's conflicting.
