Hello. After years, the time has come to buy a kitchen. We ended up with this one as we wanted a white kitchen with a white door. Most white kitchens on the market come with a black door. Ideally, we would have liked one with induction hobs, but if you take a look at how white freestanding kitchens with induction hobs look, you will understand why we didn't choose one of those.
We saw some of them up close and it didn't take much thought to reject them, as they were noticeably lower in quality.
In short, we ended up with this kitchen after rejecting the others.
Let's talk about the positives. The front is of decent quality. The finish of the plastic, glass, and handle is great for its price and definitely better overall than other kitchens at the same price.
The door has triple glazing, so it retains heat and there is no risk of getting burned. There is ample storage space underneath.
It cooks evenly and quite quickly in the oven as well as on the hobs.
I needed to learn about the connection of the kitchen, so I called the dealership and they assisted me over the phone within 2-3 minutes.
This kitchen is not an amazing kitchen in terms of quality, it's not a Miele for example. Nor does it stand out in terms of design like a Gorenje Simplicity. However, with 530+ Euros + ~45 Euros for the telescopic mechanism Siemens HZ438201, we have a complete package of reasonable price, quality, appearance, performance, and low noise during oven operation.
Yes, we would buy it again.
UPDATE:
1. The timer with countdown is particularly useful. I use it not only for the oven but also when boiling food on the hobs. I can do other tasks or not pay attention, and when the bell rings, I know the food is ready.
2. The quick heating function of the oven is a great convenience. In just a few minutes, the oven is preheated and I can use it immediately.
3. The ventilation of the oven is incredibly efficient and it doesn't heat up the external surfaces. The front remains cool even when baking at 250+ degrees for a long time.
