Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

In all the 47 yrs we have been married only in four of those did we ever have a under counter oven - All the rest were/are eye level - I can not imagine having to get on my knees to get stuff out of an oven.
There again I am old and cronky and my knees wouldn't allow it. :)

Tbf eye level oven/micro have been a game changer for me as well. Wish I'd specced my mum's kitchen as such, especially as she could have done with the less bending.

Also electric ovens >*

This is basically my dream kitchen setup

That’s odd, I thought you enjoyed cooking?

I do, a lot. However most is done on the hob. We use the oven a bit, but 99% of our meals are vegan so it doesn’t call for a lot of oven usage. Sure, we do use it but we don’t use it anywhere enough to warrant the three ovens a range would give us!

It’s certainly style over substance for our uses.

Would never buy anything other than a Neff or Bosch. Quality built to last.

Maybe used to be but like all things nowadays they arent built anything like as well as they used to be.

Gone are the days of people having cookers, dishwashers, ovens lasting 30+ years without going wrong once.

My mother is still using her 40 year AEG dishwasher and has never missed a beat.

Ive had Neff and Bosch both go wrong within a few years. If you search forums you find lots of people complaining about Bosch and Neff ovens breaking just outside of warranty and the company doesn't want to know even on products costing £1000+ and leaves the owners with very expensive repair bills into the hundreds.

I’d still rather have a Neff than an Indesit, Zanussi, Hotpoint etc

I love Neff myself and I tend to agree but my point still stands, the quality isnt there anymore and each of the big German brands do have some lemons in the range so you have to do your research. Nobody wants to spend £1000 on an oven and discover its worse than a White knight £150 one.
