New ovens and cooktop are in and working like a charm. Still have to make up a surround for the ovens but that can wait until my new 7.5 x 5.5m kit shed is up ... priorities =) Was: Now: Built the frame out of 75x50x2 RHS uprights bolted top and bottom to the brickwork, with 50x50x3 EA horizontal brackets to sit the ovens on. Sounds like overkill because it is, but there wasn't any easy way of doing anything less bulky. At the moment I'm planning on using 75x8 flat mild steel for the surround, welded and linished to form a perfectly smooth surface that will then be painted satin black. I think it will match the modern look of the ovens without being too 'out there'. I've installed the oven glass 6mm proud of the brickwork so it'll be 2mm recessed behind the surround. Next on the list is a new fridge and freezer, which are located in a recess immediately to the left of the ovens. The recess is 1215w x 600d so could fit a Miele or Liebherr pigeon pair if they weren't insanely expensive lol ... so at the moment we're deciding between a Westinghouse WRM3700WF (370L fridge) / WFM3000WF (300L freezer) pigeon pair or a Westinghouse WSE7000WF (450L fridge / 250L freezer) side by side. Going for a white finish because stainless tends not to be too scratch resistant and the fridge opens onto the main entry walkway to the kitchen. Re: V-ZUG kitchen appliances 18Sep 23, 2013 10:08 am PHL Looking at the photos, Integrity's unit is the Neff. We have the V-Zug Combi-Steam XSL, over a year now, and it has been great. We use it much more than the full sized pyro. Hi PHL, Thanks for your response. I am building my new house and am in the market for new appliances - wall ovens, cooktop, etc etc. I do a lot of oriental cooking - mainly stir-fry and steaming. I am looking at getting the V-Zug Combi Steam XSL but looking at the price tag of $6,000, I find it hard to justify if I only use it for steaming and occasional roasting. What other functions does V-Zug Steam Combi do? I am looking at Bosch Steam-Combi as well and it is considerably cheaper than V-Zug. Not sure how good it is though Re: V-ZUG kitchen appliances 19Sep 25, 2013 10:59 pm Because the XSL is larger on the inside than the normal combi-steam, being just shorter than a normal oven, you'll find that you'd use it for just about everything you'd use an oven for. The Regeneration function is also useful to reheat food (you can do quite a lot at once vs using a microwave) and revive stale bread. You can book into the free V-Zug demo session (they were free when we were looking), and check out the functions, and get lunch. Re: V-ZUG kitchen appliances 20Oct 30, 2013 12:41 am Both the V-Zug & Miele Combi ovens have the best internal capacity... both are the highest recommended products of their kind (both steam oven & their 'regular' ovens with moisture plus functions). I would not consider any other brand for a combi steam oven. The combi steam oven can be used just like a normal oven - only it has MORE functions than a regular oven. You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
