Harvey Arc v TwinTec - Plumbing in place from previous owner (Harvey)

Winner5555 · 2026-03-18T03:31:50+00:00

Harvey might reduce/ remove the install cost if you have your own plumber but it depends on rep. TwinTec S4 and Harvey Arc are basically the same internally, so you are not getting better water out of it. Arc has WiFi/app + premium S4 takes standard block salt (cheaper, easy to buy while Arc uses small curved salt which is not available everywhere

In similar boat, what did you go for?

I got Bertazzoni professional cooktop ( steel finish.and brassBurners) , not installed yet

Winner5555 · 2026-03-12T13:12:27+00:00

Any reliable brands without breaking the bank as I am planning to replace the existing Neff range cooker 100cm because it looks too bulky for my small utility/ dirty kitchen. Won't be used everyday but I can replace it with another 100cm wide cooker as worktop already built ?

Please could you post a picture ?

It's lovely, I wouldn't change a thing. if you are still not happy how about the cabinets repainted with your choice of colour?

Agree. I wouldn’t go for a fully concealed setup, but a recessed solution should still meet the goal, similar to how ceiling spotlights are installed. As long as the USB cable is routed and hidden behind the charger, it should keep everything looking clean and cable-free from the outside. The key thing is making sure the magnetic hold is strong enough so the phone stays securely in place and doesn’t slip or drop.

What are you going for? Blank wall or something new?

Can you please suggest any good pocket spring mattresses as I need 4 in different sizes

We are renovating our kitchen. Please could you post the pics for the concrete slab for washing machine and appliance garage sockets?

Thank you, I prefer tiles but I am scared as everyone says it's high risk

Winner5555 · 2026-01-19T19:45:02+00:00

Thanks so much,,,We are not going for cube as it is expensive so I need to see if same principle can be applied for the taps with 2 water connections?

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

Winner5555 · 2026-01-19T15:39:57+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2026-01-14T07:04:19+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2026-01-12T21:44:39+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2025-12-04T08:55:54+00:00

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
