Just to re-enforced what @aggi says, in my experience it's much easier to get cheap built in stuff that looks good than it is with standalone. I find that with standalone you have the square white box type things that are cheap and haven't changed much design-wise since they were introduced in the 50s, then there's a gap, then range style units that have premium price tags. With built ins there are companies like beko and zanussi who make decent products that look good and do the job.
