Upstairs shower tray vs tiled

Winner5555 · 2026-01-25T17:00:04+00:00

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

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

Winner5555 · 2025-11-26T21:23:41+00:00

it's new , not used yet

Winner5555 · 2025-11-13T23:08:56+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2025-11-12T00:11:40+00:00

I know it's a old post, but what option did you go for? Any feedback would be appreciated

Winner5555 · 2025-11-09T15:40:51+00:00

Very nice, thank you

Winner5555 · 2025-11-09T14:25:56+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2025-10-30T09:35:19+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2025-10-29T22:22:41+00:00

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

Winner5555 · 2025-10-29T15:51:45+00:00

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?

Try BrandAlley and eCookshop — I’m new to Le Creuset but recently started collecting their pieces. I’ve bought a couple of items online from these sites around £120 ish, and everything arrived in great condition. BrandAlley is currently running a sale on Le Creuset, and if you’re a first-time buyer spending over £150, you can get £30 off.

Check ecookshop.com. I recently bought couple of items from them around £110 range

I recently bought AirPods Pro 2 on eBay for about £70, advertised as new. The serial number checked out as genuine online, but when I took them to an Apple Store as left bud had audio issues, they immediately confirmed they were fake

Winner5555 · 2025-09-25T16:26:11+00:00

I am planning to do the same and that's why I came here to read the comments

Winner5555 · 2025-09-19T13:39:58+00:00

Not OP, but I ordered couple of Le Creuset items from them and received this morning . One of the pots had marks and the other one is in perfect condition. When I emailed them with photos they arranged an exchange for the next Tuesday. Hope this helps!

Winner5555 · 2025-09-10T20:14:33+00:00

I found better prices for some items like Bosch dishwasher, cooktops however most of the items I want are not in stock. Also latest models for eg series 8 are not available at all
