Gaggenau
Gaggenau traces its start to an ironworks founded in 1683 in the town of Gaggenau, and has been a subsidiary of BSH Hausgeräte GmbH since 1995. Its current range covers ovens, combi-steam ovens, warming and vacuuming drawers, microwaves, coffee machines, cooktops, ventilation, refrigeration, wine climate cabinets, and dishwashers.
What Gaggenau makes
In the Sacramento region, Gaggenau is sold through the DreamHome Appliance Group showroom in Roseville.
Gaggenau is organized around modular built-in cooking. On the cold side, refrigeration columns, wine climate cabinets, and freezers install behind furniture fronts for an integrated wall. Ventilation covers downdraft units that rise from the counter and overhead hoods.
Gaggenau kitchens
The idea that runs through it
The organizing principle is modularity built to professional tolerances. The modules are engineered to install flush, sitting level with the countertop or cabinet face for a built-in finish.
In the same building as the appliance floor, there is Gaggenau on display at Design Gallery in Roseville, the kitchen and bath showroom.
Gaggenau 200, 400, and Expressive series
Gaggenau sorts its range into three named series, and its US site organizes products by category.
- 200 series. Appears in Vario cooktops (flex induction and gas), dishwashers, warming drawers, and under-counter wine climate cabinets.
- 400 series. Vario cooktops (flex induction and gas), full surface induction cooktops, dishwashers, warming drawers, vacuuming drawers, and ventilation that includes retractable downdraft units and 48-inch wall-mounted hoods.
- Expressive series. The maker describes it as inspired by Bauhaus principles and minimalist modern architecture. It covers the oven, combi-steam oven, combi-microwave oven, culinary warming drawer, vacuuming drawer, and fully automatic coffee machine, with Vario cooling refrigerators, freezers, and wine climate cabinets in the matching Vario cooling Expressive line.
Fitting Gaggenau into a kitchen
Gaggenau suits a kitchen planned as a single built-in wall or run, where the oven, steam oven, drawers, and refrigeration are chosen to line up. The Expressive series is built around matching materials, lines, and spacing, so horizontal or vertical arrangements read as one unit. The 200 and 400 series suit a cook assembling a cooktop from Vario modules and pairing it with ventilation. Check cabinet openings, ventilation route, and gas or electrical supply early. To compare cooking surfaces, read induction versus gas and rangetop versus cooktop, or browse ranges. To plan a layout, talk with the team at our Roseville appliance store near Sacramento.
