Built-in Kitchen appliances
Hi,
I am looking at refitting my kitchen and notice that the price of built-in appliances vs. the freestanding equivalent appears to be extortionate and really puts me off built-in appliances, i.e.. built-in dishwasher £700, freestanding is £250 for Zanussi with equivalent performance. Is there any reason why they are so expensive? Aren't they the same with a little bit less metal (sides) and no feet? Or are the manufacturers or DIY sheds just making money on the fact that they are built-in? Do you know of any keenly priced sources to get these built-in appliances? I am looking at Wickes B&Q prices at the moment and wonder if they're making a lot of money on the appliances. I'd like to get a reasonable quality - Zanussi or thereabouts. Any advice on this would be welcome, as well as other areas of fitting a new kitchen where I should be wary of costs or getting ripped off. Thanks Mike |
