Oven and How many appliances?

Louis

I have that same oven as a built in version, branded Neff and it is one of the best appliances I have ever owned - it gets far more use than my "regular" oven and I am frequently surprised by how much I can get into it.

I first encountered this oven as a wash-in at (Chester)Mike's (I think his was Siemens but it was the same) and was so impressed by its functionality that I got one for myself as soon as I could. I have never regretted it.

How many appliances? Hows about this?
In my last apartment I had a kitchen 2.75m x 1.8m (approx 9ft x 6ft) - there was one door in a corner and a window on the short wall at the other end of the kitchen. Arranged in a U shape I had:

Fridge & Freezer (separate units - stacked)
Neff 1057 Oven and a half at eye level, with a Sharp Microwave above (I am tall)
Four burner gas hob
One and a half Bowl sink with drainer
Indesit Dishwasher
Mondia (Merloni) washer drier.
The combination boiler (heat and instant water) was by near the door above the washer drier (there was a good gap between the two - the Mondia was also quite shallow)

There were 2 x 1m base units (at right angles - what is sometimes called a closed corner here), 1x 600 three drawer stack with two pull out drawers under the oven. 3 x 500mm and 2 x 600mm wall units. For its size it was incredibly efficient although it was really a "kitchen for one" and there was literally just enough room to lower the dishwasher door. However the floor covering had to be replaced twice during the 10 years or so I had that kitchen as it kept wearing out as there was constant traffic over such a small area!

I like the cutlery basket on top. How much room is there? Could you load a plate face down or some small bowls or saucers? Would small juice glasses fit and come clean with the second spray arm?
 
My kitchen is somewhat bigger, but there is a table and four chairs in it. I don't have a washer/dryer there, but besides the freezer there is also a fridge/freezer in there. To the right of the freezer and the oven is a TV. And more to the right there is an Acme spindryer. And there are lots and lots of small appliances! Most of them in a huge cupboard.

I think the oven is great. But the microwave part is a bit lame with 800 Watts. I like the oven part, but I already had a repair on it because the bottom element was broken. And Bosch repairs are for sure not a bargain!

The cutlery rack is very close to the top. There is only space for cutlery and somwhat bigger items in the middle. A plate face down would be too high already.
 
Nice machine Louis !
Years ago I use to call the UK and get brochures lol and ran my phone bill up.
But it was worth it, one of the brands was AEG I cant say it in germen.
But they changed it to Automatic Engeneering Germany.
The diswasher you had ownwd was yours cold water feed and what is
there take on the feature ,,,
Care Clean Glaze protection system.
Is that part of the built in water softner..

Your AEG dishwasher I beleave was the Euro model
that Kitchenaid used one year and then they scrapt it.
its the same baskets and the low slopping top rack.

Then the next ones I saw was a boomering wash arm from AEG.

You will get used to the stacking of silverware its a good system.
People love to toss in a basket lol,
but there is no kissing and you can seperate silver from other types
of utensils.
And a much better clean.
Wish we could have free standing models here in the US.
Best of luck with your new Miele.
 
Pic 2.
Here is the model simular to yours.
I was fascinated with the BIO wash button was new to me.
Not for you guys over there but thought your machines was so advanced.
So from leaning from this sight I gather it is a lower water temp ..?
I beleave this one is 2002 ,,something,,Model.
Model number is,, OKO FAVORIT 808i
Your right Laundress ,,
I saw the the third rack or utesil racks first in ,,
1. LG
2. Kithenaid third split racks, I have no idea how it cleans up top with that little impeller lol.
3. Bosch

Thank you Darren!

All dishwashers here are cold water feed. I don't know anyone who has his dishwasher connected to hot water. My water heater is too far away and it takes too long to get up to temperature too to profit from the hot fill.

In Germany they say Aus Erfahrung Gut (Good from experience). But the people who don't like AEG say Auspacken, Einschalten, Garantiefall (unpack, turn on, warranty case). lol

I don't know what care clean is. The 1994 brochure doesn't mention something about it.

The special BIO was indeed a lower temperature wash cycle. The 8080 had four BIO cycles, Special, Normal, Spar (save, no prerinse) and Quick. It must be a bit older than 2002 I think.
 
We had an AEG, too. Made in Germany, at that time. The drying fan failed on our machine as well. Washing performance wasn't as good as on its successor, a Siemens, and I never liked this Pulse Wash System, which altered the pump's speed between 2000 and 2800 rpm. Rather annoying to listen to. But the upper rack was great! Thumbs up for tilting rack! :-)
