White integrated oven, hob and hood?

7 replies

I'm having a new kitchen fitted; Magnet Leighton Grey with oak (effect) worktops. Trying to choose which integrated oven!
I'd be interested in hearing the views of others about having white, vs brushed stainless steel, oven & hob & hood. I've struggled to find many images of kitchens with white hoods, concerned that white could look tacky?
Main reason would be to avoid having a hard to keep clean stainless steel hob & hood. We'll have a ceramic white sink and other white appliances (washer, dishwasher).
Don't particularly like black ovens.
Thank you.

I would avoid white like the plague, I don't think they look as nice as stainless steel. Re cleaning stainless steel, it's quite easy and you can buy sprays which will make it no worse than a white one.

if they are integrated, the point is that they are concealed behind matching panels.

Thank you RVPisnomore for your comment - I'd be interested if any others have experience of white ovens/hood? Both of how they look as well as ease of cleaning.
PigletJohn; integrated as in set into the worktop, rather than a freestanding oven!

We've got a white oven and extractor as I don't like the look of stainless steel appliances. Goes well with my white cupboards.

Easy enough to clean.

Personally I find white easier to keep clean than brushed steel . Also if sink is white too it's a nice tie in ! I have a FP brushed steel FF and it's always got fingerprints on it !! Uuurrgghh ! (Other than that it's lovely though !) So my vote would be white - ask the team at Magnet to show you drawings of both so help you see what either could look like !

Thank you CreamSubstitute and OnePlan. What make and model are your white oven and extractor? Thank you.

White oven is an AEG one ends in 4001 and is self cleaning. Extractor is a cheap Electrolux one from ao.com. There's not a huge range of white extractors out there.
