Buy a ladder too!

What is the point of the spiral? Other than looks.

Yessssss! No glass.

finally someone who calls it a "tap".

Include black taps to that list!!!

Never

I 100% hate venetian blinds. Whoever invented them deserves a special place in hell.

I have a free standing bath in a tiny bathroom. I would definitely not recommend this. You just cannot clean it. I just clean what I can see and try not to think about the rest.

I used to prefer gas to electric range tops. I've had induction in my last two apartments. I'll never go back to gas!

Not a fan of those at all. They shatter and are sometimes not aligned with the the burner area. I much prefer a gas range.

Can’t use cast iron on glass or induction cooktop. Gas all the way

Induction is nice.

Induction over electric ( by electric I mean which gets hot)

My next one will be induction.

I love my induction stove. They're very common here in Europe.

I've heard the surface can be damaged way too easily...

Gas! Instant on; instant off.

You have to use non scratching cleaning products on them but definitely worth it.

I have a 'domino' hob: two gas rings alongside two induction plates. Best of both worlds as I can use the gas if we have a power cut but the induction side is my go-to as it's quick to heat and easy to clean.

Induction is lovely but gas is way more reliable than electric - especially if you’re likely to get power cuts.

Never had other than induction cooktop (that’s what’s common here) and it takes 2 minutes to clean ❤️

I hated my glass top electric stove. It was so difficult to clean spills off. I need to use a scraper every time.

Much prefer a gas cook top. I absolutely hate my electric range and when I buy my first house a gas range is something I will not budge on. Electric will be a deal breaker

We got one of those industrial-size 60” Wolf Dual Fuel ranges and I seriously hate it. For what we make it’s like using a cruise ship as a river ferry. We only ever fully use it for holidays & special occasions (I say “we”; the caterers use it to keep stuff warm or to heat something up. Kidding. Kinda), preferring our Breville “Control Freak” countertop, induction cooker.

The only problem with induction cooktops is the full glass surface. They are much easier to clean than gas or ceramic, but anything you move without lifting scratches the surface.

Can confirm. I hate it. Looks dusty and greasy again just a few days after cleaning.

Glass in general is a hard no for me.

Doesn't that have a rim though?

Currently have this, wouldn't get it again. Why do they make bathroom fittings that are so hard to clean?!

And slippery (falls) when wet.

So does any drain. Clean it.

There are rugs specifically designed for kitchens. They are machine washable.

But! Do clean the undersides of the cabinets, adjacent to the range hood, from time to time.

trouble is, the toaster heats the shelf above it and eventually cracks the melamine. The kettle boils water and the steam eventually gets through the tiny cracks in the seams of the melamine and makes the chipboard wood inside swell up from the damp, bursting the shelves. It's a really really stupid idea. Experience has taught me these things.

a bit of a contradiction with the no matte kitchen cabinets?

maybe depends on what matte. i have matte and i am so happy, friend has glossy and despairs

No matter what type of handle you like, it is worth knowing that brass has natural antibiotic properties.

I have velvet furniture, it's really not an issue at all.

Now it's just missing the integrated sink (which is why stainless is my go to.) Sink corners get absolutely nasty.

I'll second that. When you're cleaning, the rigidity of shutters definitely makes things easier.

Nope. They are good while they are new, but most of them age pretty poorly and eventually all those nooks and crannies become too difficult to clean. We bought apartment with "wood finish" kitchen like that. A nightmare.
