Choose kitchen appliances around the space you have, the way you cook and the connections available. This Nextyl guide helps you compare the details that matter before ordering.
Start with the kitchen layout
Measure the available space and record the existing appliance model if you are replacing one. Overall appliance dimensions and cabinet cut-out dimensions are different measurements. A product described as 60cm wide is not a substitute for its exact installation diagram.
Compare the appliance types
- Built-in ovens fit into cabinetry. Compare capacity, cooking functions, cleaning features and controls.
- Freestanding cookers combine an oven and cooktop. Confirm the fuel used by each part.
- Cooktops include gas, induction and ceramic models. Consider cookware, cooking zones, cleaning and connection requirements.
- Rangehoods need to suit the cooktop, cabinetry and planned ventilation route.
- Microwaves vary in capacity and installation type. Confirm whether the model is suitable for the intended position.
- Dishwashers should be compared by dimensions, loading layout, programmes and model-specific water and energy information.
Check the connections before ordering
Have your installer check the electrical supply, gas type where relevant, ventilation and required clearances. A convenient fit in the cabinet does not establish that the existing connection is suitable for a replacement appliance.
Prioritise features you will use
Consider the number of people you cook for, the size of your cookware and how often you use different cooking functions. Compare controls you find easy to operate and surfaces you are comfortable maintaining. Check whether accessories shown in product imagery are included with the exact model.
Before you place an order
- Confirm the complete model code and finish.
- Review overall and installation dimensions.
- Ask your installer to confirm compatibility.
- Read the warranty and model instructions.
- Keep your order details and proof of purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Will any 60cm oven fit my existing cabinet?
Not necessarily. Nominal widths group similar products, but cut-outs, ventilation spaces and installation clearances can differ. Use the exact-model installation instructions.
Where can I find EURO specifications?
