Everyone has their favourite brands. We still have some of our original appliances from when we did the kitchen 18 years ago.......a Miele oven and hob and a Siemens microwave/combi oven. They were expensive but good. If I could afford it I would get Miele, but all the stuff we have got recently has been Bosch. Pretty good quality and reasonable prices. For sinks and taps I would get Franke, ours still look like new after 18 years.

We bought a Neff Cooker (Electric) & Hob (Gas) end of 2004 and the oven especially is great.

One of the settings is called circotherm and is great for cooking joints,steaks,sausages - you place the food on the grill pan (must be grill pan as there is a gap) and because of the way circotherm cooks you never turn the meat - it cooks quicker and it tastes delicious.

There are the usual traditional settings too, which seem to cook better/more efficiently than our previous one (Whirlpool).

Another vote for Neff appliances from me.

We have a Neff double oven (one is a circotherm) and Neff dishwasher. I hope I'm not tempting fate when I report that they have been working trouble free for 10 years.;)

My house was built 12 years ago. All integrated Neff appliances. All except the dishwasher still going strong.

The dishwasher was replaced 2 months ago, so still not bad for something that goes on twice a day.

Neff and Bosch are made by the same company (in fact, Neff is considered their premium brand!)

I thought CDA was independent, i.e. a group on it's own? Looking at some of their appliances for our new kitchen as prices seem OK, seem to be more of a trade company than consumer

I have bought indesit washing machines (on my second as I left last one in last property, still going strong), as did my parents and am astounded by the lengevity of them - no maintenance and no repairs over decades - cheap too

Don't buy SMEG stoves - they look lovely and are very solid, but they go wrong and outside of the 1 year guarantee they cost a fortune to repair.

Argh - Don't say that - I've just bought a smeg range from MFI. Have I made a mistake?
