Let’s take a look at why they surpass expectations.

What makes Gaggenau appliances stand out?

There’s no doubt about it, Gaggenau’s offerings are sublime. From an aesthetic value alone, they get an irrefutable ten out of ten. But what else makes them stand out from the crowd?

From its humble beginnings on the edge of the Black Forest, Germany in 1873 to its modern-day facility in Lipsheim, the manifesto of this tenacious brand has been rooted in precision, technology and innovation.

By 1880, they had progressed from forging metal to becoming specialists in enamel. This sparked their formula for the hard-wearing coating that formed the foundation of future coal- and gas-generated stoves and still graces their iconic blue oven interiors today.

Their pioneering spirit prevailed through the turn of the next two centuries, making them leaders in the evolution of kitchen appliances, from the birth of electric ovens to built-in cooktops and beyond. Here are the factors that set them apart:

Design and functionality:

• Their focus is on the pursuit of perfection with seamless functionality and elevated luxury being at the forefront of their impeccable designs.
• Much of their manufacturing is hand-processed by master craftsmen who tackle each step with dedication, precision and savoir-faire. In fact, of the 840 processes involved in the compilation of their bespoke fridges, 813 are performed manually.

Innovative technology:

• With a futuristic approach towards technology, they are at the forefront of modern advancements and are on top of innovations from everything spanning laser robotics to sustainability.
• In both commercial and residential kitchens, Gaggenau is committed to continually reinventing their appliances, ensuring that they remain ahead of their game in terms of precision and user-friendliness.
• Their combi-steam ovens, for instance, have temperature controls that can be accurately adjusted to within one degree, making the art of cooking a measurable science.

Quality and durability:

• From high-end materials to hand-polished finishes, every product in its range exudes quality and style.
• Durability is one of the foundations of Gaggenau’s approach to sustainability, and their designers persistently look to the future for long-term solutions rather than using trendy gimmicks that pander to marketing bandwagons.
• This brand’s heart lies in what they refer to as “artistic engineering” where each product is expected to perform both exceptionally and unfailingly – and they certainly put their money where their mouth is. With a seven-year warranty offering - one of the most generous in the industry - their products seem to last indefinitely with little or no maintenance required, making their high price tag affordable in the long run.

Social commitment:

• The brand launched a “Respected by Gaggenau” initiative in 2019 which celebrates and supports small, innovative businesses, artisans and farmers who subscribe to growing a responsible culture by using traditional methodologies to prioritise quality over quantity – a manifesto that is close to their hearts.

Enhancing your cooking experience with Gaggenau

Laden with quality features, Gaggenau’s kitchen offerings will not only enhance your cooking experience but, with their understated aesthetic appeal, will make your space feel classy, expensive and beautifully considered.

Renowned for their high level of functionality, every appliance is tested by professional chefs, meaning that for home users, all expectations are far exceeded.

The brand uses exceptional materials from rich wood accents and durable glass to hard-wearing stainless steel and robust aluminium, ensuring that their timeless designs are built to shine, no matter your chosen style.

Here’s a review of some of their offerings:

1. Ovens

If you’re looking for perfection, Gaggenau’s 200 and 400 series combi-steam ovens don’t disappoint.

The 400 Series:

• The 400 series can be installed either flush with your surrounding cabinetry or separately, and its sleek glass and stainless steel construction allows for seamless integration into any kitchen.
• It sports an elegant touchscreen display that is controlled effortlessly by rotary knobs, allowing you to navigate your way through a myriad of functions that include roasting, baking and steaming. And with a handle-free, automatic door that opens up to 180 degrees, it can accommodate even the largest bakeware.
• Available in 61- and 76-cm widths, you can customise it to include storage, warming or vacuum drawers in a range of sizes to suit your personalised design.
• It also comes with a self-cleaning system, fixed water connection and glare-free LED lights so that you can watch that scrumptious lemon drizzle cake rising without disturbing the process.

The 200 Series:

• Similar in almost all aspects to its big brother, the 61 cm wide built-in 200 series has a more pared-back design and features a front made of metallic-tinted glass and a stainless-steel handle that can be pulled open to 110 degrees.
• The handle can be customised in either anthracite, metallic or silver to match other 200-series appliances which, as with the 400 series, include a fully automatic espresso machine, combi-microwave oven and warming drawer.
• The control knobs and TFT display allow you to control up to 13 heating methods, ensuring that whatever you’re whipping up is made to perfection.

2. Cooktops

Yes, they look pretty – but do Gagganau’s 200 and 400 series cooktops perform? Indeed they do!

Both come with a “Vario” option that lets you build your custom workstation featuring bespoke appliances that encourage a wide range of cooking techniques including grilling, steaming and frying.

For those seeking a fresh approach, integrated induction cooktops are also available, allowing you to unleash your culinary creativity and produce flawless results using quick heating times, exact control, and dynamic placement of your pots and pans. They include a ventilation system that enhances functionality and ease of use.

With scale, control and aesthetics separating the two, the 200 series is more compact (28 – 90 cm) and features dark finishes, whereas the 400 version is designed for the more expansive kitchen with a single cooktop available in widths of up to a metre.

3. Refrigerators

Also available in the 200 and 400 series, Gaggenau’s impressive cooling collection ensures that you have access to the freshest ingredients every day.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, aluminium and glass, it includes a wide variety of customisation options to suit your needs from single freezers to fridge-freezer combinations.

Using ingenious, cutting-edge cooling technology, each unit detects and delicately responds to various food groups by providing distinct climate zones. This makes them next-level in terms of performance and continually ensures the health and safety of the user.

The Vario 400 series includes handle-free doors, TFT panels, quick-freeze technology and warm LED lights for optimal visibility.

4. Wine coolers

If you love fine wines, then you’ll be delighted to know that part of Gaggenau’s cooling portfolio includes the 200- and 400-series climate cabinets that will keep your precious collection in prime condition.

With a door that closes tightly and is vibration-free, they are designed to preserve the wine’s original flavour and aroma using up to three independently controlled climate zones. This guarantees that each bottle is in prime condition whenever you’re ready to drink it.

They also feature built-in dimmable lights and beautifully considered oak and aluminium interiors that are ideal for display purposes, allowing them to become an integral part of your kitchen’s overall design.

The 400 series can hold up to 99 bottles, while the 200 series can house between 48 and 80, depending on the dimensions you choose.

5. Coffee machines

Fully automatic espresso machines from the 400 and 200 series let you make coffee in your home that tastes like you’re a professional barista.

Aside from their beautiful build and enhanced lighting system, they feature a touch screen that allows you to make customised drinks in accordance with your guests’ specific taste preferences.

Simply change the quantity of sugar, milk and coffee strength at the press of a button and save your favourite combinations for your next coffee date.

Up to eight combinations can be stored at a time, allowing you to seamlessly access what you feel like as your craving dictates.

They also come with an electronic fill control so that you never run short.

6. Hoods and ventilation systems

No modern kitchen is complete without proper air control and Gaggenau ensures that the heart of your home stays perfectly ventilated, allowing you to entertain at ease.

The options in their 200 and 400 series afford you both manual and automatic control depending on your preference, and their range ensures that you can mount them on your walls, ceiling, above cooktops or islands and in your cupboard spaces as needed.

From a variety of hoods to extractors that are almost invisible, Gaggenau has thought of everything!
