Advantages: Easy to operate; reasonable amount of space for dishes Disadvantages: You can probably find a better dishwasher in this price range - and now, I question its durability
suggesting that (unless you are presented with a fait accompli by a builder or kitchen fitter, or get given this as a present) you might like to shop around before making your decision!
2 February 2009 UPDATE
I should have known - the Baumatic is giving up the ghost: rinsing and draining has not proved effective (for all programme settings) for a few weeks. I'm looking for a 'dishwasher doctor ' to come and see whether the machine can be made well - or must be 'retired'.
I shall try (once more) to be fair to the Baumatic - is it unreasonable of me to expect the machine still to be functioning in 2009? Perhaps I (inadvertantly ) did something that caused the machine to go wrong - over-filled it, perhaps, or too heavy handed with the programming controls? Somehow, I don't think so....
And the Gornje (see paragraph above)? It's going strong ...

Advantages: Flexibility of flue lengths, design and build quality. Disadvantages: None
This is a good bit of kit, I was looking for a hood of curved glass design that had a short flue option, unless you live in London or a mansion with high ceilings you tend to have to cut these things to size, with the baumatic I could accommodate the minimum distance from hob to hood that you require. When the flue is not extended with the flue extension piece it achieves 540mm, this is a perfect height for my kitchen, and this way I didn't have to take the saw to it.
The hood looks stunning in brushed steel with the curved glass sparkling from the reflection of the two 20 Watt lights fitted below. The controls are electronic easy touch type that control the three fan speeds and the lights.
A vent kit was supplied to vent to atmosphere, I am running mine on recirc with the carbon filters fitted, it takes two filters (not ...
Advantages: Stylish, easy to use & effcetive Disadvantages: None for me

We refitted our kitchen this time last year so I'm reviewing the items we carefully selected. Our previous kitchen was very basic but we'd saved quite a few penny's so spent a lot of time researching on what gadgets we could have to make our kitchen truly amazing.
We had never had a chimney hood before so we were not sure what to go for but after looking around we decided we wanted a stainless steel one with a glass design.
~The cost:
In total our hood cost us £116 and we purchased it from Built in kitchen appliances in Liverpool. This was the best price we could find. On the internet prices were varying from £149+. Obviously we bought this a year ago so the prices may have now reduced.
~Style & dimensions:
We opted for a stainless steel chimney and control panel with a curved glass canopy.
The control panel ...
