Yes, it is true that most of the stuff are made in China and the important thing is that as long as QC is good, buying China made stuff is no issue. That said, I decided to get Fujioh/Fujihome partly because they are made in Japan (partly because their hood is quite good if not the best).

Not all China stuff are bad. Many branded items like grohe are made in china bt the quality is still good.

However, how do we noe what is good and what is bad? We go for reliable brands and feedbacks from customers.

My 2 months old Fujioh hood has oil dripping at the side. Called Fujioh service centre and they came to check yesterday. The thing is, they say the oil dripping is normal. Nothing wrong with the hood. Just have to live with it. How can this be? We paid RM6k for that hood!

Yes, even BMW fails some times but I am not saying Fujioh is BMW equivalent. Gaggenau is but I am sure even Gaggenau fails sometimes!

I believe there's never a product that doesn't fail...but i believe that there should be a good after sales service to back it up.

yeah, there is no product without defects, even fotile has defects that is why a good after sales service is very important.

Actually I read the comments. The service person may be right as Fujioh hood actually channel the oil collected via the side to the collector. So it depends on what the original poster meant oil dripping on the side. Some times it is the user issue.

recently I just bought Lebensstil Kollektion bread maker, the price is reasonable and nice to have it, customize my home made bread.

today, I just bought Lebensstil oven, the price is good.
I was told by the sale person that lebensstil parts are import from Germany and assembly locally, that why they can offer competitive price. becoz local labor is cheaper then germany.
same example as Honda city parts are imported and assembly in melaka.

today i bought one hob n hood for RM2450 at great eastern mall..they have kitchen appliances fair and today is last day..i was told that lebensstil parts importerd from germany and local assembly..actually i am looking for fotile brand but then when i went to the fair i quite impress with the flame 5 nozzle and the hood...

bought my set from GE mall also, hope it is good.
