Anyone can share some info for the LEBENSSTIL hob and hoob....any complaint.....i am about to purchase it next week for my house...

it's part PENSONIC company.

personally i believe you can get far better quality products than lebensstil. google throws this info (albeit only one comment):

I bought Lebensstil ceramic hob like VEES Delicooker and also bought Lebensstil hob...the after sales service like shit. The cooker hob are so poor, im so regret getting this brand prd!!

in my opinion, i'd rather go for quality european or japanese product. so i sort of blow the same tune.

Is always better to get imported brand.

what issues you face with the hob ? i using one so far so good.

Actually quite normal to have defects thatz y they have customer service. Even Mercedes has defects. However, a reliable brand will have lesser problem and most important is the customer service mus b good

it's not me - its the only comment i found through google. but on a serious note: pensonic is not exactly known for quality. i have stopped buyingt heir junk years ago cause whatever they sold to me turned out to be crap. putting a decent design and a funny name around their stuff doesnt make it better imho.

i have great experience with products from bosch, electrolux, fagor, miele and some other brands. with hobs, hoods, dishwashers and ovens i am very happy with fagor, miele and bosch. i am using them all in my current kitchen. had an issue with a bosch fridge before, called the service and had a next day fix. they offered same day but it was late and i just moved the stuff to the spare freezer instead. service staff was fast and efficient and no fuss on the warranty either (was under extended 5 yrs warranty).

for kitchen equipment i personally think you have to spend a certain amount to get a product that can last. its just not possible to say produce a good dishwasher for 1000 RM (just an example, dont pin me - i dont even know if lebensstil makes dishwashers). if i have a choice between pensonic (or a badged pensonic) and (almost any) other (non-chinese besides heier) brand i'd probably take the other brand.

oh i actually didnt take notice of the distributor, but somehow i think those hood, hob and oven come from the same OEM manufacturer.
The vendor showed me some products of electrolux, elba and lebensstil are actually made of the same parts ..under the "skin".
anyway, i took lebenstil hob coz its the only design which comes with sturdy cast iron & undermount burner. i didnt like those thin wire types, even expensive brands like teka and bosch have those.

guess i went for form ....

Im with u 2 bro, i bought the Lebensstil hob, hood, oven & they gave me a microwave 50% discount....poket all bocor already but im happy with what im getting
Lasting or not still depends on the user also, kalau pakai aje tak tau how to take care....ur wife also can break-down...

I'm using Hood & hob without any hassle & problem!!

So far i like the stylish hood, the design looks nice, good suction power!

Yes most of the hobs and hoods come from the same OEM manufacturer in China.

any other comment about this brand. i saw DFormat also sell this brand but don't know about quality and after sale services..

Last time when I scout for cooker hood and hob I also nearly bough this lebensstil ..
the hob's flame look so nice ... and I don't get to the other brand's flame ...
then the sales guy told me it's from germany/or-what-so-ever .. really about to paid deposit then I decided to go home google for it reputation ...
and I whois their domain .... registered under PENSONIC MALAYSIA .....
end up not buying from them ... not because it's buatan malaysia ..but I feel somehow offended by not tellin' the truth la...
buatan malaysia said local made la ... the flame looks so nice sure I'll buy 1 ..but tipu me .. for this simple reason I dun want to buy

then? I bough fotile from 1 of the forumer here lor
google abit fotile seem got some reputation + good price-performance

Lebensstil Kollektion is not made by Pensonic. Pensonic is just the sole distributor in Malaysia who also distributes other international brands including Princess, General Electric and Gaggia. Kollektion Distribution Sdn Bhd, a member of Pensonic Holdings Berhad, established since 2002 has now become the foreword in quality home kitchen appliances. Once in Msia, they have to add Sdn Bhd for the company, right

Lebensstil Kollektion simply means lifestyle collection in German. Lebensstil Kollektion has been conferred The Honourable Star Awards for its outstanding range of kitchen appliances. Other awards include New Innovative Design, Design Excellence, Consumer’s Choice and Editor’s Choice from various publications and professional bodies, further attest to our brand’s philosophy and design excellence.

I myself am looking for hob, hood and oven. M still searching, that's how I come across this discussion

i visited a home appliance shop today. the shop keeper told me there is product name called leben, it is from germany. lebensstil from china...

well, just sharing the chatting. no idea which is true..one

from wat i heard from the people in pensonic is.... lebensstil is from pensonic..... "just like lexus from toyota"

leben is from CHINA, a malaysia company get a factory to OEM for them and print leben only but i m not sure about lebenstil, cant get info on it.

i have using Lebensstil Kollektion hood hob oven for 2 years plus. so far no problem and happy using it. i dont care where is it made from, i just like the design when first saw it, i believe many products nowadays are from china, people said iphone also made in china but still many ppl crazy to buy it

ho ho very true indeed. Almost everything is made in china nowadays, including the famous apple products. Im working in a manufacturing line, so what i can say is that it doesnt matter where the factory is...whats important is the quality control.

i like lebenstill's design as well, and im pretty sure performance wise its comparable with others. only thing that bothers me is their after sales service...dunno the support good or not LOL
