Kitchen appliances in Ireland 2026: mid-range set €3,000–€8,000 (Bosch, Siemens, NEFF, Zanussi), premium €8,000–€20,000 (Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Gaggenau). Induction is the default for new builds. Faster than gas (water boils in 90 seconds vs 4 minutes), more efficient (90% vs 40% energy transfer), safer (no flame, surface cools fast). Gas is preferred by some serious cooks for the responsiveness, but induction is closing the gap. A mid-range set includes: oven, hob (induction or gas), fridge, dishwasher, extractor, microwave. Premium adds: steam oven, warming drawer, second oven, built-in coffee machine. Don't forget the plumbing and electrical connections — usually €1,000–€2,000 on top.
