COMING SOON! People who buy Britannia range cookers are usually pretty discerning, and understand that quality is something worth paying for. They like a door that closes with a reassuring clunk, and the knowledge that their carefully chosen product is going to last a good number of years. These customers will doubtless be highly receptive to Britannia’s new range of “Nebraska” advanced refrigeration products, which have been designed and built to work perfectly alongside Britannia’s range cookers, or simply on their own. Side-by-side or American fridge-freezers are increasingly popular and getting the formula right is very important, but it looks like Britannia Nebraska refrigeration may be off to a flying start ...

Fanned or multifunction electric ovens are by far the most popular choice, but when it comes to cooking many people like to stick to what they know, which explains why gas is still a contender in the built-in oven market. These customers prefer the moister heat that a gas oven produces, and would rather not have to re-learn the cooking times of their favourite recipes. Fortunately, there is still a ready supply of built-in gas ovens from a handful of manufacturers, though it is certainly a more specialised area so the options are far more limited if you prefer cooking with gas or are restricted by electrical limitations ...

Bosch is certainly a name to be reckoned when it comes to cooking appliances, and for many customers the combination of solid and reliable German engineering and clean, rational good looks is worth paying that little extra for. The good news is that Bosch built-in has just got even better, with the launch of their new 2009 collection of built-in ovens, hobs, refrigeration and other integrated appliances. The product range is certainly more clearly presented, and layered into Bosch’s established Classixx (simple), Exxcel (mid-range) and Logixx (premium) identities, in addition to the unchanged entry-level Basic products, aimed at the contract market. This new structure makes choosing your ideal products much easier, whereas the previous product range was extensive and rather confusing. Bosch enthusiasts will love the way the new ovens look and feel, with their clean geometry and nicely detailed stainless steel or black aesthetic and large door apertures ...

AVAILABLE to ORDER SOON. Like many people, we were not really aware of the Gorenje brand until recently. Something of a dark horse in the UK appliance market, this established brand’s technical competence and exceptional design-integrity is now an open secret that has quickly brought us round to their way of thinking. Their designer Pininfarina and Ora-Ito series are impressive on all fronts (see our previous article HERE), but Gorenje have now added the Pure line of built-in appliances to their catalogue, and it certainly makes impressive reading. As usual with Gorenje, prices seem remarkably reasonable for this kind of quality, and reflect the brand’s keenness to make an impression on the UK market, and their industry-leading 5 year warranty backs this up admirably.
