Strategies to make the most of your kitchen upgrade
Find the best options for your next kitchen upgrade by checking out these eight critical strategies.
1. Always keep kitchen size and layout in mind
Before you fall head over heels for some random model, grab your measuring tape and get to work.
Accurate measurements of your kitchen space are crucial to avoid the dreaded scenario of appliances not fitting or cramping your culinary style. Think about the layout too. You want appliances that flow seamlessly with your kitchen’s vibe and everyday routine.
Miele’s new extended range includes 60 cm Built-in Ovens with a generous 76L capacity on 5 levels, perfect for culinary experimentation.
Meanwhile, their induction cooktops range between 60 to 80cm with up to 3 to 4 cooking zones for maximum power output.

Miele’s upgraded range comes with extended warranties and high-end features. Built-in ovens can start at the $2,000 - 3,000 range with accessories, while induction cooktops start at the $2,000 mark.

3. Consider cooking habits and preferences
Understanding your cooking habits and preferences is key to finding appliances that suit your style.
Look for features like flexible cooking zones and specialised cooking modes that cater to your diverse culinary needs. Whether you’re whipping up a gourmet feast or just reheating leftovers, your appliances should be your kitchen’s best mates.
Miele’s ovens boast innovative programming, which automatically adjusts temperatures and cooking times based on what is cooking. Its new FanPlus function doubles as an air fryer for health-conscious cooks.
Meanwhile, induction cooktops offer various automated functions such as the Recall function ensuring settings are saved for 10 seconds, Stop&Go function that reduces all cooking zones at the touch of a button, and Minute Minder to help time any activity in the kitchen.
4. Take note of energy efficiency
Energy efficiency isn’t just about saving a few bucks on your utility bills (though that’s a nice bonus).
It’s about reducing your carbon footprint, too. Look for appliances with energy-saving features that minimise power consumption without sacrificing performance. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the planet. With energy-efficient options, you can cook up a storm guilt-free, knowing you’re doing your part for the environment.
Ovens in Miele’s range come with automatic programmes that optimise cooking time and energy usage, while induction cooktops feature Pan size recognition — ensuring energy is only supplied to the required area, further enhancing efficiency.

5. Put a premium on safety features
When it comes to kitchen appliances, you want to know you’re in good hands.
Look for comprehensive safety functions so you can focus on creating culinary masterpieces without worrying about accidents. These little bonuses might seem small, but they can make a big difference in preventing accidents and keeping you and your kitchen safe.
Miele’s ovens boast features like a touch-cool front door, ensuring protection against burns, along with soft open and soft close functions for added safety and convenience.
Similarly, induction cooktops offer safety functions such as safety switch-off and residual heat indicators, providing additional peace of mind during cooking sessions.
6. Look for connectivity and smart features
What if your kitchen appliances were as smart as your phone?
With connectivity and smart features, you can take control of your kitchen from anywhere. From adjusting cooking settings to receiving notifications, smart features put you in command of your kitchen, no matter where you are for a smarter, more connected cooking experience.
Miele’s ovens come equipped with Con@ctivity with Miele@home — allowing seamless integration with your smart home ecosystem. Its pyrolytic self-cleaning feature ensures minimal effort when it comes to tidying up, too.
Meanwhile, induction cooktops boast communication with the rangehood through Con@ctivity, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity with Miele@home, adding further convenience and control to your cooking experience.

Do your homework on brands and warranties.
Opt for reputable brands with a proven track record of quality and reliability. A comprehensive warranty not only offers peace of mind but also ensures you’re covered if anything goes awry. After all, your kitchen appliances should be built to last.
As a "Most Trusted Brand<" by Readers Digest and awarded first place for Best Customer Service several times by the German Kundenmonitor (customer monitor) — Miele has won the hearts of consumers and award bodies alike.
