What brand of appliances do you choose for your kitchen?designers? We conducted a survey and found out what exactly our professionals prefer and why After our publication of the kitchen product presented by Grand Cuisine, we wondered — what do our designers prefer? The first survey showed that everyone’s preferences are completely different. We are sharing the results of our research right now.
Sergey Kovalev, ArtBaza:— We are pleased to offer our customers Electrolux appliances. Firstly, we are pleased that all the fittings are actually metal, not plastic or painted. Enameled steel is pleasant to the touch and easy to clean. Our customers appreciate the telescopic guides. They say they are very convenient. Many also praise the appliances for their special dirt cleaning system. The most necessary finishing options are presented, and this is quite enough for any kitchen. The hobs also make life much easier for designers, as they are made in a common model range and fit into the classic style of kitchens. Related articles
Elena Voronyuk, "Interior salon N 1 groupMBTM companies»: — The choice of kitchen appliances depends on the needs and desires of the client. For the most demanding, I always recommend appliances from the Swiss brand V-zug. V-zug ovens have many automatic programs developed in collaboration with famous chefs, which allows you to prepare haute cuisine at home. The second most popular is Miele — this is time-tested appliances. The brand offers all types of appliances — from basic, affordable ones, to elite ones equipped with the latest innovations. The “trick” of 2017 is appliances without handles. The oven opens with a push. Miele appliances have intuitive controls, so they are easy to use.
Alena Timofeeva, interior designer:— Appliances for the middle segment — here Smeg is the leader for me, for its unique design, recognizable and pleasant “timeless” shapes. It suits all country house styles — this includes Provence and English classics. My favorite shade is the color of oats. I am very pleased with the range of metals — using the same enamel, you can go for both a strict appearance of the appliances and a more playful one. And if, for example, large-format ovens are Smeg, then I choose Elica hoods for their power and design.
Elena Voronyuk, "Interior salon N 1 groupMBTM companies»: — In third place is the equipment of the German brand Neff. This company always follows innovations and implements them in its devices. Recognizable technical features of Neff: a door that slides into the oven, recessed temperature controls, as well as a light beam projected onto the floor in dishwashers. At the same time, Neff equipment is relatively inexpensive. In a special place on the list of my preferences is one of the most progressive brands today: Bora. This is a hood and a hob, combined in one device. Ideal for kitchen islands that are so fashionable now. This year, at the international exhibition in Cologne, almost every kitchen had a Bora hood integrated.
Alena Timofeeva, interior designer:— A slightly lower price segment is Korting equipment. It has nice coatings, a bit textured, but I am especially pleased with the gas hobs, which look luxurious. There is a beautiful line, it fits perfectly into classic interiors. And as for the modern style, it is laconic and high-quality Siemens. For everything related to water, I choose Miele. If we talk about expensive equipment, then this is, of course, Sub-Zero & Wolf — double-door and large-format refrigerators that make ice and filtered water, hobs and stationary stoves. This is almost professional and advanced kitchen equipment.
Vadim Martynov, "Architectural Workshop"Martynova and Gatilova": - We choose Sub-Zero appliances primarily for their uncompromising design - a rare example when a freestanding refrigerator does not "hurt the eye", but improves the interior. Precisely verified proportions and filigree surface treatment allow this brand's models to fit into both absolutely minimalist and classic settings. Do not forget about capacity - even built-in models are designed extremely ergonomically, which is noted by many customers. In addition, this is the right choice for those who value the status and respectability of the interior - brand recognition is also at its best. Related articles
Anna Gutlina, ArtKipling design studio:— The choice of equipment is largely determined not only by the needs of the customer, but also by the style and design of the designed space. Representatives of the premium segment — manufacturers of kitchen appliances Miele and Kuppersbusch — have great opportunities. These brands can satisfy various requests of lovers of cooking exquisite dishes, offering them ovens with steam, steamers, combination devices, deep fryers, grills, and so on. A huge selection of refrigerators and even wine cabinets, original hoods. In addition, and this is very important for designers, you can choose the color of the devices themselves and accessories to them. For example, we choose gold handles — and you can safely integrate a modern device into a classic kitchen. When choosing mid-range equipment, it is worth paying attention to the classic models of the Italian brand Smeg and the strict design of German equipment Neff.
Ksenia Bobrikova, designer:— The first time Smeg kitchen appliances appeared at my site, it was a choice based on the recommendation of a familiar consultant on household appliances. At that time, I considered it exclusively from the point of view of aesthetics and suitable design. But when the customer, several years later, enthusiastically responded to the functional qualities of this brand, I began to use it more often. Since then, the ovens that have been installed more than once have pleased their owners with a beautiful design and professional cooking. Easy to operate, with a clear menu and convenient maintenance. Retro models from Smeg are especially popular; in the collection line, you can choose everything from a hood and refrigerator to a toaster and kettle, which makes the design in this style complete. For the middle segment, apartments for rent or temporary housing, I use Bosch equipment. I believe that this equipment has an excellent price—quality ratio for this budget. Modern design and excellent reliability characteristics distinguish this equipment from other brands. By the way, in Montenegro this is the exact same equipment that has served me faithfully for many years.
