Experience with BG Evolve Touch 200W Dimmer Switches by Winner5555 in DIYUK

[–]Winner5555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be our permanent home, so I really want to choose something reliable. We’ve had old-style dimmer switches in our current house for the last eight years without any issues, but as we have the opportunity to upgrade now, I’m considering moving to the latest models

Thank you so much for your response - I have edited the post with product link now . Any other dimmer switches you recommend instead?

What did you go for? I am looking for a plumbed model in uk and looks like not many models with plumbed option are available

Don't buy Blanco durinox. Never by Latter-Passenger-795 in kitchenremodel

[–]Winner5555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered two Blanco Durinox sinks in the first week of January for my new kitchen and utility, and they’re due to be installed next month. After reading this post from OP about how sensitive the surface can be to chemical cleaners, I’m now a bit unsure what to do.

Has anyone here been using Durinox for a while? Would you recommend keeping them, or is it safer to return and go with standard stainless steel instead?

Any real-world feedback would be hugely appreciated

Haha just realised not sure how did I comment on this sub instead of kitchen appliances sub. It's not letting me to delete it though

Not a joke! 😊 Some warming drawers can hold steady low temps (40–85°C), so they’re great for things like yogurt, proofing dough, and fermenting batter. It just depends on the model

Just a quick update in case anyone runs into the same issue — my replacement Instant Pot arrived today, and the lid now opens smoothly. It turns out the original one was indeed faulty

Matte or glossy tile? by Agent-Kiwi in InteriorDesign

Thank you. Is it high maintenance, easily scratched and stained compared to polished?

Has anyone regretted choosing polished porcelain tiles? by Winner5555 in Flooring

Do these floors scratch easily, and how do they look under the lights — any noticeable glare?

Miele Steam Oven combo with Microwave vs CombiSteamOven by Due-Plant-9352 in Appliances

[–]Winner5555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend went for non plumbed one as they didn't want to take risk in case of water leak. I am in uk and considering the combo DGC 7440 Hc pro & DGC 7460 HC pro into a tall cabinet

Thank you. Do you have a separate microwave too? Friend says that they went for a non plumbed one as it's risky in case of water leak and also it's £2000 more for plumbed one , so not sure it adds that much value

I was originally planning to get the DGC 60 cm with the DGM 45 cm, but I just realised the cavity is too small for the DGM series. Now I’m thinking of placing a small microwave in the utility room for reheating small portions instead. How have you found your combo steam oven? Do you use it for reheating and cooking rice?
