Put the freshness back in the kitchen

Advantages: does a great job removing smells and grease
Disadvantages: needs an outside vent either through the wall or ceiling

...When we changed our kitchen one of my priorities was to have a decent extractor. I generally dislike strong cooking smells working their way through my house but some smells are worse than others; a decent deep fat fryer took care of the fried foods and a gas barbecue on the deck near the back door took care of grilled meats so that left us with general cooking smells from cabbage to curries.

AEG Electrolux Fridge

Advantages: Looks good, full of room, big doors, big shelves, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

...I moved into my new house about a year and a half ago and as it came unfurnished needed to buy a fridge pretty quickly. Being half American I had always loved the big American Fridges that hold enough food for a family for about a year with a water filter on the front and an ice machine so I had this in mind when I went to Currys. However as I found out these fridges are also quite wide and the space I had to put my fridge in was quite small which is when I came across the AEG Electrolux fridge/freezer. IT was £650 at Currys which I didn't think was too bad. The first thing that attracted me to this fridge was the look and design. It's a free standing, chrome fridge so it's not plastic looking like some fridges. The outside is very easy to clean as it is just wipe clean. It has two section, the fridge portion and the freezer...

Review of AEG-Electrolux S 75358 KG3

Tthe AEG L74810 is quietly impressive

Advantages: performs brilliantly and quietly.
Disadvantages: more expensive than some.

...Here I am about to write a review on a washing machine! I can?t quite believe it. A few months ago the most I could tell you about a washing machine was that if you put dirty clothes in and worked it properly clean clothes would come out, however being that I don?t like to spend a lot of money without checking into things I can tell you I now know a lot more. My tuition on washing machines started in February when my old washing machine started having real problems. Not prepared to part with a large sum of money for a new one without knowing what I should be looking for I started to read a bit about them and when I start reading I can?t stop. The washing machine I eventually chose is the AEG L64810 and I will now endeavour to tell you why. The AEG L64810 has many functions that you will find on most modern machines but also a few...

Marco's Kitchen

Advantages: Marco, celebs getting flustered
Disadvantages: not long enough

...I was once told that I was just like Marco Pierre White. Taking this as a compliment I mearly assummed that they were referring to how incredibly talented I am when working with food. Sadly this was not what they were getting at. I have recently discovered that it was more down to the fact that a lot of the time I say things which make no sense whatsoever! This is one way is what can make Marco's Hell's Kitchen so funny. I never watched it when Gordan Ramsey was doing it. But since Marco has taken over I've become completely addicted to it. Down to the fact that they've cut down the programme from what was 90 minutes to the hour, the amount of cooking where we actually got to see how they were doing it has been decreased. Appareantly due to the fact that ITV are 'skint' they couldn't afford to get any celebrities of a high standard...

Review of Hell's Kitchen

AEG means Always Excellent Goods

Advantages: Reliable, Easy to use, Excellent results
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy during the spin cycle

...UPDATE: I just read a review of an LG washer that someone just bought. My comment to them was - I wonder what you'll think of this in a year or two. Then I thought, perhaps I should update my own washer review. After going over what I wrote below, I can safely say that this machine is still going very strong, and cleaning our clothes very well. Yes, we have accidentially opened the door when there was water inside and started a flood, but that's our fault, not the machine's. All in all - AEG make really good, strong, lasting machines. Highly Recommended - once again! ***** While this machine is no longer on the market, I've asked Ciao to add it so I can give you all an idea of the quality of AEG machines in general, through my long- term experience with this particular model. And you never know, someone looking at this op...

Review of AEG Oko-Lavamat 518

techno super sexy kitchen extractor hood

Advantages: Beautifully designed, easy to install, very effective
Disadvantages: pricey, not easy to find on display

...I have owned this hood for 2 years.What a trojan, it looks as good today as the day it was fitted, its just so sexy, I called it the wedge. I had seen it in an aeg brochure, and thought yes that's the one. The next problem was finding one to look at they where brand new. This was in itself the hardest job finding a shop to actually go and look at it , feel the controls, look at the quality, even aeg uk didn't know which shops had it on display. I tried everywhere, then found its slightly larger twin on display in the local Wickes " just not where I expected it to be considering it is top end price for an extractor. It did not disappoint, in fact all the difference with the bigger one is it is extended by two plain side panels, so it is actually no more effective. My husband is tall and hates hoods that jut out that he bangs his...

Gifts from the Kitchen

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Gifts from the Kitchen ? Ann Kleinberg: I have a thing for cookbooks, I have loads of them and I love nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa and just looking through them. This particular book was a birthday present from my Mum last January and now that Christmas is here, (woohoo), it has been getting plenty of use. Gifts from the Kitchen is a very pretty and girly hardback book from marks and Spencers. It is styled in a very kitsch way with lots of pretty pictures, pink and gingham! It is the sort of cookbook that instantly makes me want to a don a pinny and morph into a 1950s house-wife! The theme of pink and pale green flows throughout the book and teamed with the beautiful photography it works perfectly to get you into the mood to make lovely edible gifts which is, of course, the theme of the book. There are forty recipes in...

Review of Gifts from the Kitchen - Parragon Book Service

Dream Kitchen @ Trade Prices - NOT!

Advantages: I'm not sure there are any!
Disadvantages: Expensive, Persuasive

...My partner and I are in the process of renovating our property. An extension is going on the back of our house and as we have to knock out the kitchen window as access, we will be replacing our very old and much neglected kitchen. I had searched around on the net and found a few kitchen companies and requested some brochures. I came to the kitchen direct website and entered my details for brochures to be sent. I had to enter my telephone details as well as postal address for them to send the brochures out. Within 2 hours I had a telephone call from the company wanting to come and do a design appointment in my house. I agreed and made the appointment for when both my partner and I would be home. Meanwhile, I researched some kitchens and prices online. We knew roughly what we wanted and how much we could afford to spend, so we...

Review of Hell's Kitchen

Not in my kitchen!

Advantages: None that I could see
Disadvantages: expensive, time consuming, poor customer relations

...I will come clean from the outset and tell you that this opinion is incomplete. It is incomplete in so much that I did not choose to buy my new kitchen from Kitchens Direct ,so I can?t tell you what the product and fitting are actually like ,if one went through with the fitting. My reason for writing this review is because I was so unhappy with the parts of the process we did go ahead with that I would like to warn you to think hard before giving them your hard earned cash or bank loan! We are having massive restoration work done on our Victorian house. We totally ripped out the bathroom .I designed that myself and the builders did all the work. The same happened with my study and I am thrilled with the results. The kitchen is our current project. We share the house with my fairly aged Mother in law .She wanted her own kitchen as...
