Which appliances 2012

[essayer]

Looking to get the full set for a kitchen refurb (single oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, hood, microwave)

What brands to buy .. Bosch .. Neff .. AEG .. etc ? They all look much of a muchness and I am not fussed about any mega OTT features. A pryo oven would be cool but not essential.

Priced up some midrange Neff kit and it comes to about £3k at "cheapest google search" prices.

If I all buy it from one place can I expect a significant discount over the likes of appliances direct ?

To be honest mate, appliances are dead to all but the higher end kitchen outlets nowadays.

Thanks for this, makes sense as the guys quoting were very open for us buying our own appliances.

There is a shop not too far away that sells graded stock, this is probably something I'll investigate too. Seems to be approx 20% saving for minimal damage (which may not even be visible on a fitted unit)
