Comments (12)bishop, I hope antss can help you more here. Kuppersbusch hasn't made a firm impression here in the US (assuming you're in the US) so you're right that it is hard to get more informed topical views here. I'm predisposed to like them and their products. My parents have some Kuppersbusch things and they are still alive and well 30+ years on. (That said, my mother still has a Baby Belling stove! and Molineux small appliances all of which are now ~ 30 - 40 years old - and Belling is no fancy brand ;-) ). I believe Kuppersbusch is considered fairly upmarket but I've no idea which of their products they manufacture themselves - perhaps Antss will give his more educated views here. Speaking for myself, this is the one brand that I've always considered first when shopping for any given appliance. Rightly or wrongly, they give the feeling that they are designed by [German] engineers for [German] engineers with nary a marketing person in sight - the picture of teutonic efficiency. Gaggenau, at 50 times the price is the other brand that evokes (evoked - I haven't comparo shopped appliances in almost 5 years) the same feeling of solid adherence to engineering above anything else. However, K'busch sizes are odd for America - 24" or 36" ovens - that's it! Not a 27", not a 30". Cooktops were 22" or 33" or something like that (although a quick look online today shows they have 30" and 36" units). Their gas cooktops - for that was what I'd been considering 4+ years ago when I did my remodel were too wimpy (11KBTU and 13KBTU peak) for me to go for. Dishwasher - I didn't seriously consider it because I was going to be reusing my tried nad true Bosch unit - not sure if this is right or not, but something gave me the impression that it was a rebadged Bosch or Siemens - no idea if that is right or not. Coffeemaker - I understand that these were the blokes who came out with the inbuilt residential coffee/espresso machine idea (not that I think there's much brownie points to be had for that first, mind you) and that Dacor uses or used K'busch to make their espresso machines for them and have them badged as Dacor. Not sure if that still holds good but it was quite plain to see a few years ago. I believe these were really good units, too. So, while I looked at K'busch first for ovens (sizes put me off), cooktop (were I to get induction, I firmly believe that these are the ones I'd get, but gas was unimpressive), DW (didn't choose this), espresso machine (didn't get one at all - not an inbuilt one anyhow), we wound up not getting any of them. So, is that an endorsement? Not sure, but I still think that they are a solidly satisfying product - generally speaking....See MoreSingle Wall Ovens: Dacor Renaissance vs Wolf E-Series?
Comments (6)^You haven't seen anything bad about it because there really isn't anything bad or good to see yet, LOL. It's a brand new design. It looks like an awesome oven based on their website. Whether you should buy one depends on whether you are willing to help the manufacturer test their product in the field. It didn't seem that the rollouts of the RNB and Platinum ranges went quite as planned, hopefully this oven will be different. If I were redoing my kitchen, and I had it in the budget, I would probably give it a try. I guess I'm just the "early adopter" type. I like playing around with new stuff like that. So far I've tried 2 unproven appliances, KA steam assist oven and GE Profile french door fridge, I have not regretted either choice. However I am aware the majority of people do NOT enjoy being beta testers so even thought I might take the risk, I could not recommend that anyone buy a product like this so early on unless they are very aware what they are getting into....See Morebosch convection oven and steam oven vs. miele or wolf?
Comments (22)We're building a new house and the placement of the appliances is pretty much fixed at this point. We didn't have any idea of how tricky this would be. Speed oven, Steam oven plus 30" convection oven and induction cooktop. Where to put them all? And how to decide which manufacturer so that they all match, without breaking the bank? We're thinking that the 30" Convection oven will be the one we use least. The Miele Steam seems better than the Bosch, but that means we have to make everything Miele to match. Miele 30 " convection is a lot more expensive than the Bosch. And how many of you have a Speed oven and what do you use it for? Currently, we use a Microwave to heat a bowl of soup, or warm up coffee, or reheat leftovers. We roast a lot of chicken and use a Convection oven..same with fish. We're a retired couple so it's mostly the 2 of us, and wonder how often we'll have a crowd and use everything at once. Plus, we're moving to FL and will have a good grill with a rotisserie, so will have that option too. Also wondering about a plain Microwave +Combi Steam+ Convection set up. But we're thinking that for resale value, we should have a Speed Oven. Can any of you tell me which appliances you use the most and do you have any experience with Bosch cooking appliances? And has anyone out there ever installed a wall oven under a cooktop, rather than buying a slide in or built in stove?...See MoreWolf Convection Steam Oven or Wolf Speed Oven???
Comments (20)I just got the wolf speed oven and so far so good. I just did a partial kitchen remodel and got the 36 inch all gas wolf so wanted a smaller electric oven for a 2nd oven or for smaller meals. I also was happy to ditch my countertop microwave. I had space in my cabinets to put the 24" oven in without a lot of carpentry needed. The24" seems to be the same interior size as the 30" model, only the outer casing is different. At first I was a bit thrown off by the fact that the microwave turntable turns even when using convection mode but I've found that with the low riser its great for cakes and pies. They rotate as they cook very evenly. I haven't tried any of the microbake or microroast settings yet and the "gourmet" modes seem sort of silly, mostly just plain microwave....See MoreJackie Lin
