When looking for kitchen appliances for cooking and baking, shoppers often compare wattage, the number of functions and design first. However, these details are only useful if they suit your household and the kitchen you have. A large oven can be a good choice for families, while a multifunction microwave can replace several individual appliances in a small flat.
“Multifunction” does not automatically mean that every function is equally practical day to day. So check the internal dimensions, not just the overall capacity. A 25-litre microwave can accommodate different-sized dishes depending on its design. A model without a turntable, such as one with a flat cooking cavity, often offers more flexible space.
A self-cleaning oven does not take care of all the cleaning for you. In a pyrolytic oven, residue is turned to ash at high temperatures, and you then need to remove it. Hydrolysis or SteamShine cleaning uses water or steam to loosen dirt. Burnt-on residue and the oven door will usually still need cleaning by hand.
The energy efficiency rating is an important point of comparison, but usage and preheating also affect consumption. The figures for kWh per cycle and the operating mode are key. For some dishes, a fan oven may have lower energy consumption than conventional oven mode. For hobs, connection load, pan size and actual usage time also matter.
A freestanding electric cooker can be installed without being built into a fitted kitchen. Before buying, check the available space or recess dimensions, how the door opens and the distance from the walls. Common widths are around 50 or 60 cm.
An induction cooker with oven requires cookware with a magnetic base that is suitable for induction. This is not necessary for an electric cooker with a ceramic hob or a traditional radiant hob. Both options use electric heat, but differ in how they are operated, how quickly they respond and which pans they can be used with.
Do not guess the electrical connection requirements. Several models in this selection have a high connected load. In Germany, the cooker should be connected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Multi-socket adaptors and extension leads are generally not suitable for high-powered cookers.
Look for:
An oven with a steam function or a microwave with a steam function adds to the traditional heating options. Check whether a steam container is included or needs to be bought separately.
A multifunction microwave can combine microwave, grill and fan oven functions. This makes a combination microwave with grill and fan oven suitable for reheating, browning, baking and, in some cases, roasting. It is a space-saving option for smaller kitchens, but does not always offer the same capacity as a full-size oven.
Pay particular attention to:
A microwave without a turntable can accommodate rectangular dishes more easily. With a traditional turntable, check the diameter and maximum height of your cookware.
Why this product suits this profile: This 50 cm freestanding cooker is designed for smaller to medium-sized kitchens. It combines four cooking zones with a 60-litre oven.
The specifications state the width, oven capacity, A energy rating and 0.85 kWh for conventional oven mode. SteamShine is a steam-cleaning function, not a fully automatic cleaning system.
50 cm design, 60-litre oven, four cooking zones and integrated SteamShine cleaning.
Why this product suits this profile: This model combines four induction zones with a 73-litre multifunction oven, making it a good fit for households that cook and bake regularly.
The specifications list nine cooking functions, a 73-litre capacity and pyrolytic cleaning. This makes it easy to check the range of functions and cleaning method before buying.
Induction with Bridge function, 73-litre oven, A energy efficiency rating for the hob and A+ for the oven, according to the product specifications.
Why this product suits this profile: This 25-litre combination microwave is designed for anyone looking to bring microwave, fan oven, quartz grill, steam and Crisp functions together in one freestanding appliance.
The flat ExtraSpace cavity has no turntable. The product specifications also list the Crisp plate, steam function, fan oven and AutoClean separately.
25 litres of usable space with no turntable, 800-watt microwave, 1,500-watt fan oven, quartz grill and Crisp function.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations in force in the EU.
Ovens with a capacity of around 60 to 73 litres are often a good choice for families. The layout of the interior matters too: multiple shelf positions, suitable baking trays and a fan function can make a bigger difference in practice than capacity alone.
Costs depend on the power rating, operating mode, how long you use it and your electricity tariff. The kWh per cycle figure is a useful guide. For a rough estimate, multiply the energy used by your price per kilowatt-hour. Preheating, residual heat and choosing the right pan size can all affect actual consumption.
There is no guaranteed lifespan. It depends, among other things, on how often you use the appliance, cleaning, installation, ventilation and maintenance. Make sure it is installed correctly, keep ventilation openings clear and use only suitable cookware. If the door, seals, cables or glass panels are damaged, stop using the appliance and contact customer services.
