Range Cookers - All models over 70cm wide. For the bigger family. Choose from twin or single cavity. Fuel types differ with gas, electric and dual fuel models. Popular brand include Smeg, Rangemaster and Britannia cookers. 2 man delivery service.

 

Freestanding Cookers - All model are under 70cm width. Probably the most popular kind of home appliances in the UK. Single or double cavity, and a number of features to select. Some versions have glass lids. Different fuel kinds like all electric or LPG

 

Built-in Ovens - More popular now than ever, as consumers choose integrated home appliances. Single, double built in (eye-level) or double built under (beneath the work surface). The 2 double oven options are different sizes so be careful when selecting.

 

Gas Hobs - Less expensive than ceramic, and a more flexible way to cook as the gas gives instant heat. Wok burners available on some models. Choose from 60cm or 70cm, some even wider. 4 and 5 burner are the most popular. Check cut out sizes before buying

 

Ceramic Hobs - Smart design and looks, easy to clean and more energy efficient than ever. Almost as popular as gas now. Some have stainless steel trims, others are called 'frameless'. Dials or touch control (very easy to keep the hob clean).

 

Other Electric Hobs - This includes domino hobs, which have either 1 or 2 burners/zones, or deep fryers and bbq hobs. Sealed plate hobs have been around for a long time, and offer excellent value for money.

 

Induction Hobs - the latest technology in home appliances and super efficient. Heats a pan of water in just minutes. The induction basically means that heat is only applied to the pan when it sits on the surface, and only the part that is touching is activated.

 

 

Cooker Hoods - Various kinds, from traditional and built in hoods, canopy and telescopic hoods and the most sought after chimney hoods. Glass canopy extractors are getting better value now, Baumatic have an excellent selection on offer.

 

Built in Microwaves - These integrate into your home just like a built in oven would, keeping the theme of the kitchen perfectly. Look much better than the freestanding microwaves. some are full size but there are also compact models.

 

Freestanding Fridges and Freezers - the best selling refrigeration we offer. Height and width vary massively, check your gap in the kitchen carefully before ordering. One or 2 doors, some with ice boxes, 10's of different colours and finishes.

 

Integrated Fridge Freezers - fix your furniture door to the front and your fridge freezer disappears into your kitchen! 50/50 and 70/30 (in favour of the fridge) are the sizes. There are under counter and in column fridges and freezers as well

 

American Refrigeration - We all eat more fresh food these days and an American style USA fridge is great for storage. Most have an Ice and Water dispenser, and come in stainless steel, black and white. Check dimensions of all your home appliances first

 

Integrated Dishwashers - Almost every new kitchen has an integrated dishwasher, as they make life so much easier. Not only are they simple to use, they store the pots from sight, are hygenic and very quite compared to some home appliances.

 

Freestanding Dishwashers - 45cm (slimline) or 60cm in width. 12 place settings is normal for a full size dishwasher. 42 decibels in considered very quiet, 52 the maximum you should accept. some have hidden controls in the top of the door.

 

Washing Machines - We all have one! Spin speeds vary from 1000 - 1800 for the latest top of the range washers. 4-10 kg loads, and a number of colours. Bosch seem the best value for money and quality, along with AEG and Miele.

 

Tumble Dryers - Vented or condensor - meaning to send the steam outside or into a drip tray. Sensor drying means the dryer will sense when it's time to stop, hence saving time and electricity. Load capacity is 4kg up to 10kg on US models

 

Washer Dryers - for those with limited space in their home. Washing and drying capacity is less than the seperate appliances. It's more expensive to get an A rated for wash & dry performance, but there are plenty of options from Electrolux and Hotpoint

 

Integrated Washers & Dryers - Again these home appliances are designed to blend into your kitchen without having anything on show. They are less to buy now and the Fagor (our most popular) washers and dryers have 5 years warranty

 

Sinks - 100's to pick from, undermount or inset. Stainless steel, chrome, ceramic, granite and fragranite are finishes. Many other colours to select. Belfast sinks are a more traditional option. Franke have a massive range of quality sinks

 

Taps - Single or twin lever models, and mixer taps are most common. Pewter, chrome, nickel and brass available. Blanco and Franke are big manufacturers, with a large selection. Call for help as there are so many! 0800 0437 160

 

Wine Cabinets - Built in or Integrated wine coolers are a must for the wine lover! Some more advanced coolers have dual zones for red or white wines. You can have built under or built in, depending on your kitchen design.

 

Home Appliances

Many companies specialise in home kitchen appliances. The following are some of the most famous and respected global brands.

The joint venture between Bosch and Siemens, which created BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH), gave rise to one of the biggest home kitchen appliance manufacturers in the world. Set up in 1967, the joint venture between Robert Bosch and Siemens AG has gone on to operate 43 factories across 14 countries in Europe, the USA, South America and Asia. In total, the company now employs around 39,000 people.

As you would expect from a company specialising in home kitchen appliances, BSH offers a huge range of brands. The main two brands, Bosch and Siemens themselves, are undoubtedly two of Europe’s best-selling and best known names. However, the BSH umbrella also covers a huge range of products and brands to suit every customer’s needs. Specialised brands such as Neff, Thermador, Viva and Ufesa cater for the whole market, from budget to luxury appliances. BSH also keeps a solid local presence, with regional brands such as Pitsos, Balay, Lynx and Profilo ensuring high sales in their respective locales.

AEG was founded in 1887, and has since provided home kitchen appliances with the attention to detail and efficiency common to German manufacturers. In 2004, the company changed its name to AEG-Electrolux after Electrolux bought the AEG brand name. Despite the name change however, AEG-Electrolux still promotes the ideals the brand was formed on over a century ago. The company’s slogan, “Perfekt in Form und Funktion”, is applied to every one of its products, and consumers are reaping the benefits. The brand now incorporates a full range of home kitchen appliances, which allow customers to “control household tasks and represent precision, performance, order, confidence and pride,” according to the company website.

The Hotpoint brand is well known in Britain, and rightly so as the UK brand has been producing high quality home kitchen appliances for almost a century. Founded in 1911, Hotpoint initially specialized in fridges and washing machines. Most homes in Britain now contain a Hotpoint appliance of some kind, be it a fridge or washing machine, or a cooker, tumble dryer or even a toaster. In 2007, the now Indesit-owned Hotpoint was merged with the Italian company’s own Ariston brand, creating Hotpoint-Ariston.

A company who has only recently come to prominence with its bold and colourful range of fridges is the Italian brand Smeg. Its ‘FAB’ range of retro-style home kitchen appliances are eye-catching, but are also high-quality products. Indeed, Smeg home kitchen appliances are now verging on pop-culture icons, having appeared in films such as V for Vendetta, been used by TV chefs like Jamie Oliver, and even having been parodied by British favourites Wallace and Grommit. However, the company is this year celebrating its 50th anniversary, having been founded in Italy in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni. Originally called Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla, the name was later shortened to Smeg, and has since become known as a manufacturer of quality, highly fashionable home appliances.
