Hi all
I'm just updating my kitchen - looking to get some advice about must-have features and any model-specific recommendations.
The current kitchen was put in by the previous owners and I really like the configuration, but the hardware needs replacing.

We've got 70cm induction hob and two integrated ovens side by side under the hob.

I wouldn't have planned this layout, but I have really come to love the space and flexibility of the twin-oven layout, and although I've always been a gas hob person I'm now an induction convert.
I'm looking to replace the hob with a 90cm Neff unit which includes a gas wok burner, but need some help with choosing the ovens given I'm about 10 years since I last looked at what was out there
£600 seems to be a reasonable price point according to Which? - Bosch seems to get a few Best Buys.
I will probably fit a warming drawer under one of them - any other features we should look for?
We use the kitchen pretty hard - bake our own bread every day, like really low and really high temperature cooking.
I have all the sous vide kit and a microwave so don't need to cover those bases.

Self-clean and if you bake bread the steam function.

Neff and Bosch are part of the same company and a decent quality.

I’ve had a Neff oven for just over a year. It’s the range with the Hide and Slide door. No problems with it whatsoever.

Put all Neff stuff in my kitchen and everything apart from the induction hob broke within three years.

I'm no expert, but I hear Neff and Bosch are good makes in most things they do.

I'd always look at Miele outlet first. Most of my stuff is 'entry level' Miele bought below asking from their online outlet listings.

Self clean pyrolytic function is great. Thought it was hype but no, genuinely impressive. Ours are Miele (with the steam thing mentioned above that I’ve not yet used in two years).

Neff, the brand was sold to my wife when we had a new kitchen in our second home a couple of years ago. Its OK, but i am not impressed. The Siemens double oven in our main home has worked without issue for 16-years and still looks impressive.

We had a repairer come to fix the fridge/freezer in our old kitchen. We asked him which he recommended. He replied that he never gets called out for Siemens equipment.
