It cost us 4k for the appliances and we got them cheaper than AO, etc.

I just got an offer from Wickes and the appliances (cooker, hob, extractor,
and Dishwasher) were circa 500 quid

Bosch.
Series six stuff was seriously expensive in the shops but the wife was
paying out of her pension lump sum.

I like the pyrolytic cleaning.

The microwave/oven is a bit odd.. power settings jump from 600W to 1000W
with nothing in between.

I also don't like that you can't use silicon bakeware as it does the
baking sensor in.

The ability to set precise temps over a wide range is useful, I use the
big oven to dry out 3D printing filaments and to anneal printed bits.

You need to consider these DIY things if buying new appliances.


The dishwasher has a handy feature in that the door opens if you push it
which is handy when the wife has arthritis in the fingers. Its also
completely integrated and projects an image of what its doing on the
floor as it has no visible display.

Is that feature aimed at cat owners?

Yes, both those we also find useful. Ours has no cutlery basket, instead
there's a third tray right at the top in which you lay out the cuttles.
In this way cutlery items do not abrade each other during washing which
f'rinstance helps knives retain their cutting edges.

So do we. The only downside is that if the upper basket has a lot in it,
the water doesn't uniformly get to the cutlery!

Could be, do I need to steal one to see if it does anything?

People with varifocals can see what's on the floor without much trouble.
Projecting it on the ceiling might be a problem.

If you're Dennis Taylor maybe? The thing I hated when wearing
varifocals was stairs, the stairs themselves weren't in focus, the
ceiling was.

Don't buy varifocals at cheap.glasses.direct then.
