Only issue I have with the Neff ovens is the display regularly freezes, either completely or with partial function. Needs to be turned off, wait 15 secs (light flashes inside) and turn on again, then reset timers etc. Have also replaced the inside glass on one of the hide and slide doors after someone closed it a bit too enthusiastically - not cheap but quite DIYable. The pyrolytic self clean function is decent but there is an inch perimeter around the doors that you need to manually clean with something industrial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliG Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 There was an article in the papers yesterday about sourdough bread being too big for toasters. The fact that this is not a problem as almost every house in the country has an oven with a grill that can also make toast seemed to be missed.

We went with a really nice IH without extractor in the end (https://ao.com/product/ex975lvv1e-siemens-iq700-induction-hob-black-68119-39.aspx) which we both love and I positioned 2 MVHR extraction points above the island each side (3m apart). Any smells are gone very quickly, and since we've been in, not once have I thought "I wish I had an extractor". My MVHR might be somewhat oversized though as in 'normal' speed it does 225m3/h (min regs for our house is 191m3/h) Sounds good - just making these decisions at the mo. Any concerns re grease build up in MVHR vents / ducts/ filters due to that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on the model no? Never seen this on ours, ~6 months old.

We have a Dualit with two slots and a cage (25 years old and still going). Only bog standard white sliced bread seems to fit the slots but on a daily basis I do wedge in two nice thick slices of bloomer and watch it burn.

newhome Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have 2 ovens. One is a combi microwave, fan oven, grill thing, the other is a standard oven. I never use the standard oven so have switched it off at the consumer unit as I was forever resetting the flashing digital clock display every time there was a power cut and that was the only time I touched it. It’s been off for over a year now. I can of course still use it when I want to. What do people with 2 or more matching ovens do if one breaks? Surely you’d need to replace the whole group as like everything oven models are continually being updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not go there However, like the best technology solutions, I look at our oven quad as a fully redundant load sharing pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 What I love is the way Bosch make the combi oven smaller than the standard so you need a £500 warming drawer to fill in the space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started out planning for a 60cm oven, a 45cm steam oven and a 19cm warming drawer. But given a microwave was a requirement we've ended up with 60cm oven, 45cm steam-oven, 45cm combi-microwave and a 29cm warming drawer. We didn't want/need a combi-microware.. but a basic microwaves wouldn't have matched ? Quote The kitchen company originally designed our kitchen with Gaggenau built in fridge and freezer at around £6k each. I changed to much more standard ones at about £1k each, still not cheap. What suprised me is that as soon as you go beyond the standard sized fridge the price goes crazy! How can the a Siemens 603mm fridge can cost £5,400 when the 560mm version costs £1,600 RRP!

AliG Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Siemens do a 60cm combo oven and microwave now. We have two of them and basically use one as the microwave and one as an oven but it gives a lot more flexibility. For some reason we have had a few small power cuts recently and it’s the only time I have wished the ovens were Wi-Fi connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
