Integrated Kitchen appliances - help!

[ss2011]

Hi all
Having a new kitchen and it’s getting finished quicker than we expected so now have to get a move on with ordering appliances. Looking for an inter grated freezer, integrated fridge (separate- both full height) and an integrated dishwasher. Have not got much clue apart from Bosch appliances have been good for us in the past, and we probably can’t afford neff. Any recommendations? Thanks so much....

We had our kitchen done last year - all Bosch appliances. I love them, especially the dishwasher. It’s so quiet that at first I had to keep checking I’d remembered to switch it on! Moving soon (fingers crossed!) and I won’t hesitate to go for Bosch again.

I’ve signed up to Which for a month for £1 to help me choose mine. There are a lot of cheaper appliances that perform better than the expensive ones

We bought NEFF for our appliances 'on-show' but went for the BEKO BL77 and BZ77F integrated fridge and freezer respectively. They were considerably cheaper than the brand names (£409 and £469 respectively at Currys), had all the features we wanted and got great reviews. I'd add myself to that list as a satisfied customer and would have no hesitation recommending them.

When I did my kitchen 2 years ago I went with Siemens for the on show appliances (ovens, hob) and Beko for the integrated. I’ve had several Beko items and no problems at all.

I’m just about to do my kitchen again (moved house) and again I’ve gone with Beko integrated. I’m going with Bosch for the on show stuff. They are the same company as Neff and Siemens but I prefer to look of Bosch to Neff and I cannot stretch to Siemens

I can't help laughing how people go for the big names on show . says she with a Miele dishwasher on show

We're buying several appliances from www.myappliances.co.uk/cat/integrated-freezers

They are unbranded CDA/Caple, same warranty and a lot cheaper

have managed to find a free standing fridge in the size I want but was nearly forced to have integrated. Watch for stupid design features, in particular ultra fashionable small door shelves which means stuff falls out a lot. The Bosch ones are bad for this. Make very sure you read reviews.

I also got 'which' for a month ..was worth it ...is there much different in price between neff and Bosch ? We have neff on show and Bosch all integrated...I don't think any of the integrated are cheap ..but my tumble drier was !

After a disastrous Stanley dishwasher (the aga company - ''twas horrendous) I went with Hotpoint this time and not had any trouble. I reckon they've made enough of them to get the hang of it!

Firstly Bosch and Neff are all the same company with minor cosmetic differences (except for the slideaway oven door) so prices will be comparable. you can save money in the short term going for makes like Beko but they most likely wont last as long as the build quality is not as good. Liebherr are good for refrigeration

Leibherr are brilliant fridges and freezers. Mine are as good as the day they were bought 25 years ago. They are not the cheapest but Beko are rubbish by comparison. Just buy German - Bosch is ok. I’ve had loads of problems with Hotpoint in a rental house, so never again. If your house is relatively high value and you are not renting it out any time soon, buy quality.

We bought ours in Ikea...fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and oven. They’re really good and have features we only saw on more expensive brands.
