Last time I looked at the reasons why we’ve selected Siemens wise Appliances for the Automated house 2.0.
Now it’s time to take a look at all the designs we’ve installed in our Kitchen, Pantry as well as Utility.
Left Oven
studioLine iQ700 Built-in oven with heavy steam function (HS858GXB6B)
Our kitchen area was designed by Parkes Interiors in Belfast, who are a Siemens studioLine dealer. The kitchen area design is symmetrical with a 3.2m x 1.4m island in front of a bank of cupboards.
This is the very first of 3 ovens in the kitchen area (the one on the left). While 3 satisfied our demand for symmetry in the design, it likewise provides us the capability to utilize 2 ovens as well as a microwave simultaneously which is the exact same as we had at the last house. It feels fantastic to have moved from an oil powered stove to these smooth new appliances that are now all running on a 100% renewable electricity tariff too. All three ovens have 5.7“ TFT touchscreens in addition to built-in WiFi for connection to our network.

With 4 temperature settings (30° – 80°C) it can be utilized for dough proving, thawing, keeping drinks as well as food warm, pre-warming crockery (up to 12 plates) as well as even a bit sluggish cooking. No more ‘dinner’s in the dog’ when you are late home.
Home link Features: None
Hob
studioLine iQ700 Induction hob with integrated ventilation (EX877LX67E)
With a vaulted ceiling above our kitchen, a hood was not an choice so we needed a hob with an integrated downdraft extractor. With an airtight home we don’t want to be punching holes in the walls for an outlet so we likewise need a recirculating system. That’s one that filters the air before sending it back into the room.
Just released in summertime 2020, with its new completely flush air intake, the EX877LX67E design ticked all the boxes as well as is perfect for our needs. This is the very first time we’ve had a ceramic induction hob as well as it’s incredibly quick with brilliant control.

With an A+++ score it’s likewise extremely effective which is important for an appliance that is heating water as well as in everyday use.
Cleverly this design does away with the requirement for a screen on the front by projecting info from its bottom edge onto the floor beneath. A glimpse on the method past shows the time staying for example. It has awesome multicoloured interior ’emotion’ illumination too.

This machine looks fabulous in our bit pantry as well as the coffee ‘playlist’ enables you to queue up drinks for a number of people from the app as well as you can gain access to extra coffee drinks choices via the app too.

Washing Machine
iQ700 washing machine (WM14YH89GB)
Laundry appliances may not be rather as attractive as their cooking counterparts, however they are a few of the hardest working in any type of household.
We were especially impressed with the i-Dos automatic dosing system in this machine which exactly measures the detergent needed for every wash. just fill up the drawer when a week or so with liquid detergent in the right side as well as softener in the left as well as the machine does the rest. Siemens state this likewise assists to save water too.
We’ve had rather a few concerns from our Instagram asking if these machines are screwed down as they are raised. They aren’t as well as they run quietly as well as with very little vibration.

Dryer
iQ700 warm Pump dryer (WT48XEH9GB)
Our last tumble dryer was an evil energy muncher. A dryer is one of the biggest energy guzzlers in any type of house as well as so this was one appliance we had earmarked from day one that had to have an A+++ energy rating.
Just like the primary Under floor system in the Automated Home, this machine employs warm Pump innovation to reduce the amount of electricity needed to warm the water.
And just like the hob, we don’t want to jeopardize our airtightness by making a hole with the building to vent the dryer, so this is likewise a condensing machine.
The AntiVibration function keeps things smooth as well as quiet, which is particularly useful with our increased cupboards in our bit utility room.

There’s no interior illumination at all in this machine so that’s something we would suggest for its successor.
