Appliance feedback..pretty please :)
Comments (1)"one miele master chef oven" Click the link below. Just about everyone is happy with their Miele Speed ovens. I have not, so far, seen many posts on the Miele Steam oven, but several folks like the "Plumbed Gaggenau Steam ovens". I would go with the Miele DW's. That is why, many of here, and probably most of us are not into the "Matchey Matchey"--IE all Miele ovens of one sort or another. We try to buy the best appliance for the job, and at least at, this point in time, the Miele "Regular Ovens" are "at best", a "Crapshoot"!

Comments (11)I had the exact same dilemma as the OP. We opted to go with the speed oven over a regular microwave which is located under my combi steam. We also have the M touch wall oven with moisture plus. With the two of us - we use the speed oven quite frequently in conjunction with the combi steam as it heats quickly and has full oven capability. This allows us to avoid heating the large oven for just one dish. We have used the speed function a handful of times and it works well but speed cooking is not something we have a need for at this point in our lives. I can also use it as a "warming" drawer if needed. It depends on your budget and if you want to spend the extra $$, but we are happy we went with the speed instead of a microwave....See MoreMiele CSO to stack with 24" Miele speed oven or 30" single oven?
Comments (70)You can never have enough ovens. We have a 30" oven in addition to a 24" CSO and a 24" SpeedOven (incidentally, this is a wonderful combination). And still, there has been at least one meal, when I had to add a fourth improvised oven by using the gas grill on the deck. I also had to use a portable warming chest, and had to prepare a careful schedule for when to use which appliance. But then, I was cooking multiple courses for a gathering of more than 100 guests. Realistically though, 99% of the time, the combination of those two ovens should be enough. You might just have to do a little bit of planning on the rare occasions that you make huge amounts of food. But if budget is flexible, adding the SpeedOven wouldn't hurt. It's a good oven in its own right, and it can always serve as a great overflow option, when things get really tight. Is it mandatory? No, not at all? Will you enjoy having bought it? Yes, probably. It's a convenient luxury, if you regularly cook a lot....See Moremiele speed oven AND xxl combi-steam placement
Comments (3)In my previous house my Mieles CSO XXL was placed under the counter in the island. I didn't have room for it anywhere else and I was able to use the water supply and drain from the prep sink next to the CSO. I was happy to have the CSO, but didn't love the low installation height. In the house we built this year I went with the Miele CSO XXL again and this time installed it in the wall with a Miele coffee machine above it. The CSO height was determined by how high I could place the Miele coffee machine and have that also be comfortable to use. The top of my CSO ended up at 41". I'm not that tall, so that is a comfortable height for me to place things in the CSO. Got a plumbed unit again and was able to connect to the drain and water line of the laundry room sink on the other side of the kitchen wall. Plumbed is the way to go. I use the soak/rinse cycle after nearly every use, to keep the CSO clean, and having it plumbed means that all I have to do is press a few buttons and the CSO does all the work. No filling or emptying water containers. As far as steam, that should not influence where you place the CSO. No different that a regular oven. When you open a very hot oven, either in a low range or higher on the wall, you will get a blast of heat. With the CSO you will learn to open the door slowly, take a step back and not stick your face over the door! Not an issue and humans are capable of learning quickly! :-)...See Moremojavean
