Who makes compact equipment for small kitchens?
I am looking for small appliances to build into a tiny kitchen. Can you help? MC, London SW19. There are free-standing compact versions of most kitchen appliances, but none designed specifically for building in. To most manufacturers, the term compact encompasses everything from slimline machines, such as 45cm-wide dishwashers and 50cm-wide fridge-freezers, to very small tabletop models. The ZRT210W is an under-counter fridge-freezer from Zanussi, www.zanussi-electrolux.co.uk, offering a saving of 30cm in width over a conventional fridge and freezer standing side by side. Compact washing machines that wash from 3 to 3.5kg of laundry are made by Candy, www.candy-domestic.co.uk, and Zanussi. The Candy AQ1000 accepts a 3.5kg load and costs around £360. Candy also supplies the Trio 501, a 60cm combination oven, hob and dishwasher, around £670. To make the best use of limited space, approach one of the companies that specialises in fitting complete kitchens into small spaces. John Strand Ki
