Hi Joseeng, Well, I would like to compare with the Bosch, Ariston & Miele models and unless the other options are very much "paler in comparison" with Miele, then would I consider spending a fortune on the latter. Any steam oven users who could comment? I would appreciate it - Thanks!

Hello KM, Am glad to hear from you and thank you for taking time to reply We have decided to place the steamer above the oven as you have suggested too; however, we have not decided on WHICH steamer to purchase. We have in our considerations 3 brands - BOSCH, Ariston & Miele but am still trying to find out more information and preferably feedback and reviews from users, but havent had much success. 1) BOSCH 45cm Built-in Steamer HBC26D553A (35litres capacity, 1.3litres external water tank) 2) Ariston SO 100 IX Steam Oven (23.5litres capacity, 1 litre water tank) 3) Miele DG 5060 CISt (30litre capacity) The saleslady at Miele did comment that one of the best feature of their steam oven is something about "the door being 'tight' or perhaps being well-lined and the food is steamed using all the pressure from the steam..which doesn't escape" along this line but thinking about it later, isn't a steam oven suppose to be like this? However, the salespersons I was referred to for the other models didn't really know about it. Apologies for not being very well-informed on this subject. Would appreciate any information and suggestions you may have. Thanks again!

Hi to all, Having been looking around and doing some researching on hoods but I still can't really decide or know which to choose. It is our first home and we are looking for something with as high an extraction rate (if I got this term correct) as possible as we will be doing 'heavy' cooking. We have already purchased our hobs from Ariston. We were looking at a Delizia hood HEE22-S900 which is supposed to have a 1000m3/hr extraction capacity. There was one with 1060m3/hr extraction capacity DZH519IX but that is a glass chimney hood with a single aluminium filter. Was recommended a Fujioh F1 200V but since the only info provided on their website says "oil/fume absorption rating of almost 100%" I couldn't really compare. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would appreciate it - thanks!

Dear Kitchen Matters, I have enjoyed reading this thread due to your insights and ealth of knowledge. Just purchased an Ariston FZ990C.1IX at the Mayer Warehouse Sale last weekend and am excited about it. Tried to look out for other brands/models but stuck with the original brand (ie Ariston) in the end, since it was at a good price too. I just have to cross my fingers that any after sales service I required will not be 'blood-boiling'! (Apologies for the unintentional pun). Am seriously looking into purchasing a steam oven. What advice would you have? I have only seen the Ariston and Miele ones, the latter being very expensive! The walls in my new flat just came off (as in renovation works have started) and am looking at little things I need to do with regards to appliances and how it may affect lay-out decisions. If I have to place the ovens on top of each other, what height options might be the best? Seems like one will be a little lower and the other a little higher than ey level.. quite a headache for me.. Thanks no matter!
