How much is this cooker?

ICBDF606CG - item code


Friends of ours are having an amazing kitchen extension - anyway while we were there I spotted a lovely double oven (being naive to kitchen stuff I have never heard about it). Does anyone have any idea what this it is or any good and how much does it cost (this specific model). I've searched the web and cannot find prices anywhere which I'm guessing means big price tag but how big.

This is for a single oven version £12,550 so call it £25k for their oven!!!

Wow & why??

Was the cost of it in proportion to the cost of their extension (and love of cooking)?

The kitchen extension was £200k (not finished yet) I'm pretty sure it's 10mx10m of which the only new extra space from the garden is 3m out the rest is all knocking through other rooms (lots of steels apparently too) and a huge lantern roof.

I like Wolf appliances.

That said - I do question whether they are worth the money. Furthermore, the very high initial cost is one thing, spare part availability is surprisingly poor - which is disappointing as they are hardly an 'investment'.

La Cornue are my favourite....

Now I'd stretch to this if it fitted the kitchen and critically if the Mrs wanted that style which is sure she doesn't she's the boss but is more than happy with a decent Neff/Smeg

Doesn't the OP have a reputation for being one of the leading PH forum fantasists? The whole extension/oven story is probably made up.

No.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to ask the "friend" how much it was ?

Honestly I don't want to stroke his ego

[Welshbeef]

I'd love Miele good brand and good warranty and Neff/Siemens seem perfectly adequate for all household needs. OMHo.

What a bizarre thing to ask. Why not just ask them?

As said earlier I don't want to stroke his ego

Not really a friend then? are you a bit jealous?

If one of my mates sneaked off and made a thread on tinternet about my house asking how much something was I'd think he was a proper dick.

Yes but I don't generally ask people how much certain thing cost hence asking here. Clearly we are different - maybe he upgraded for his wife as a gift who knows.

Jealous? Why? It's apparently a c£26k oven nearly anyone could get a personal loan to get one or pay cash it's hardly a LOT of £ but IMHO it's a huge amount for an oven and I wasn't even aware such priced cookers existed

Totally different to your answer to me.

You sound like a 'mate' who is just a bit jealous to us tbh. Shame.

Yes because I'm bored of the same question it's answered yet same things get asked


Agreed shame those so ask same question don't RTFQ

We have one of those, well 2, and they're now married.

Me and the OH moved into a new house, nothing amazing at all, a 'nice' first home.

They and another friend came over, other friend was gushing with xyz is nice what are your plans etc etc, the couple were just silent and had the huff. Can never be happy for anyone else, They seem to see life as a competition, which lets be honest, no one ever wins - as there's aways someone 'better'.

I've got a friend a bit like that/welshbeef too. I find it sad that he's unable to have any joy for others, his life seems to totally revolve around himself.

Dear God where the fk did that come from.

A simple question how much is that has turned into character abuse - merry xmas to you too.

'A simple question' equates to 'I saw my mate has one of these and didn't ask him how much as I was jealous and didn't want him to know I was impressed - I phrase this as 'stroking his ego'' which enables us to assess your character.

I cannot imagine a situation where a friend of mine has bought something that I'm interested in but rather than ask the friend, I ask the internet for fear of inflating my friend's ego. For me, friendship doesn't work like that.

Merry xmas to you too, I hope you enjoy it with friends.

Why do you assume jealousy?
Just because I liked the look of a widget doesn't mean I want it - in this specific instance I appreciate it and that is all not really the taste of oven we'd have (note I'd have little say in oven choice anyway that's down to the boss).

But you miss the point. Welshy is trying to show everyone that he has wealthy friends.
Either that or google has stopped working

This was exactly what I was going to post.

Google still doesn't give a price for the cooker I showed a pic of in page 1 we have assumed it's c£25-26k

Anyway merry Xmas to you both .
