I'm faced with an appliance nightmare at the moment. Found this thread on google. How are you finding your NEFF extractor?
The extractor's great, wouldn't have any problems recommending one, £400 cheaper than the Siemens, the halogen lights light up the hob really well, good suction and looks great.
You'd be surprised how often you use a warming drawer. We have all Miele appliances and the warming drawer is used surprisingly frequently! Even down to getting a takeaway, realising you need to do something and chucking it in the drawer to keep it warm and stop it drying out.
*edit*
Have you tested the extractor at that height yet? It'll be interesting to see how effective it is as it looks to be quite high?
Yeah, it's great, no problems with extraction. It had to be above my head, I was sick of banging my head on the old one and didn't fancy having to duck down to see people in the dining room.
Great thread - thanks for sharing. What Gas hob is that? Also - what have you learnt from the whole process and would you do it all again, if so, what would you do differently?
It's a Siemens EC745RC90E, really happy with it, the middle ring is great for steaks etc as it really chucks some heat out. Also the pans are very stable on it, some modern hobs with hardly any metal pan supports don't have enough to keep the pan stable.
The only annoying thing is the flame failure device, you need to keep pushing the button down for quite some time untill it stays on.
At the moment wouldn't have done anything differently.
Heya, did you do the design pics yourself?
No, it was designed by the guy I got it from who supplied the kitchen.
Got the freezer, still waiting for the fridge from Germany.
. Also should have got a warming/accs drawer for underneath the combi oven
