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.

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.
