Blomberg covers the whole kitchen and utility room: ovens, hobs and cookers, fridges and freezers, dishwashers and laundry. Many of these come in both freestanding and fully integrated versions. That suits someone fitting out a new kitchen with one brand, and equally someone replacing a single appliance. If you are planning a fitted kitchen, the Blomberg built-in kitchen appliances bring together the models designed to sit behind matching cabinet doors.
For cooking, the Blomberg ovens include 60 cm built-in single ovens and double ovens that fit at eye level or under the worktop. Some have catalytic liners that absorb grease as you cook, while others use easy clean enamel that you wipe down. Hobs come in ceramic, induction and gas. Induction heats the pan directly, so it responds quickly to changes in setting. Slot-in cookers combine two ovens with a gas, ceramic or induction hob, and some gas models add cast iron pan supports and a flame failure safety device.
Blomberg refrigeration covers fridge freezers, tall and under-counter larder fridges, and frost-free freezers, both built-in and freestanding. Fridge freezers come in frost-free and non-frost-free versions. Frost-free models save you defrosting by hand. Several models have VitaminCare+, which uses three-colour light that follows the daylight cycle to help fruit and vegetables keep their vitamins. The Blomberg dishwashers include a 45 cm slimline integrated model for smaller kitchens alongside full-size 60 cm models, such as 13, 14 and 15 place-setting versions. Some integrated models have SuperGloss, which keeps heat in the dishwasher for longer to improve drying.
Blomberg washing and drying includes freestanding and integrated washing machines and washer dryers, such as 7 kg and 8 kg washers with a 1400 rpm spin and 8 kg/5 kg washer dryers. Tumble dryers come in vented, condenser and heat pump types. A vented dryer needs a hose to the outside, and a condenser dryer collects the water instead. A heat pump dryer costs more to buy but less to run. To narrow things down, first decide whether each appliance will be built in or freestanding and measure the space. Then choose the type: induction or gas, frost-free or not, vented, condenser or heat pump.
