Integration and intuitive technology led the charge at the EuroCucina appliances halls this year. Rangehoods, cooktops, ovens, espresso machines and even wine fridges all received a new-think approach, with the world’s leading appliances brands offering customers an invigorated vision for the future.

Gaggenau aimed to inspire with its leading-edge ovens, particularly in the 200 and 400 series, which have a combination of two knobs and simple touch-pad options.

The company also brought an element of the traditional back into its super-technologised appliances and kitchen solutions, with ovens that bake bread to perfection (when combined with the right ingredients, of course!), and the Vario cooling 400 series for storing wine in conditions akin to a wine cellar. Also of note, the new Vario dishwasher DF 460/461, ideal for handleless furniture fronts thanks to its push to open function.

Meanwhile Neff took integration and intuitive use to new levels with flush-installed FreeInduction cooktops that allow you to place your saucepans anywhere on the cooktop to receive individually controlled heat.

Neff’s AirDeluxe 100 – 300 exhaust hood model were also a stand-out, the architectural styling and expert functionality of each – whether wall mounted or benchtop integrated – attracting particular attention.
