Kitchen appliance buying guides
The decisions that are hard to undo: ducting before the ceiling closes, a cut-out before the worktop is cut, a niche before the cabinetry is built. Each guide answers the question directly, then links to the products in the catalogue that fit the answer.
Induction heats the pan directly and responds fast; gas heats the air and the pan and gives you a visible flame. Induction needs a suitable electrical supply and magnetic cookware; gas needs a gas connection and ventilation.
Read the guide →Match the hood to the hob: at least as wide, and ideally the same width so the outer cooking zones are still covered. A 60cm hob normally takes a 60cm hood, a 90cm hob a 90cm hood or wider, and an island layout needs a ceiling or island hood in the same width..
Read the guide →Built-in ovens are chosen by cabinet width first. 60cm is the standard housing in most kitchens, 90cm suits larger layouts and needs a wider cabinet, and compact ovens fit a reduced-height niche.
Read the guide →An inset sink sits in a cut-out with its rim over the worktop; an undermount sink is fixed below the worktop so the surface runs into the bowl; a topmount sits on top of the surface with a visible rim. The worktop material and the cabinet below decide which one is practical..
Read the guide →Measure the niche, not the old fridge. Take the internal width, height and depth of the cabinet opening, check the ventilation gap the appliance needs, and confirm whether you are buying a full-height column or a combined fridge-freezer..
