Kitchen Tap Buying Guide: Pull-Out Spray, Touchless, and Boiling-Water Taps

Four decisions, and one that turns a simple tap into a 5-in-1 water system: filtered, chilled, sparkling, and boiling water straight from the tap.

Built-in coffee machine buying guide: mounting, water supply, type

Three decisions, and one that decides whether you need to touch a plumber's schedule at all: a removable tank or a fixed water connection.

Washer and dryer buying guide: layout, drying technology

Two layouts, two drying technologies, and one detail that decides whether a dryer can go on top of a washer at all: the stacking kit.

Built-in fridge buying guide: type, height, door style

Three decisions — type, height class, and door style — and one number worth checking before ordering cabinetry: the maximum column height for an XXL model.

Dishwasher buying guide: size, height, place settings

60 cm or 45 cm, standard height or XXL — two sizing decisions that determine how much fits in one load.

Cooker hood buying guide: mounting, airflow, noise

Four mounting types, two airflow principles, and one number that's often forgotten before ordering: the duct diameter.

Kitchen sink buying guide: material and mounting

Material and mounting go hand in hand — the wrong combination often only shows up once the worktop's already been ordered.
