Hi everyone,
I am looking for invisible hood. I have done some research and found that only SENZ has this model and the price is reasonable, rm1400.
Any experience on SENZ hood? Any advice on my selection? Do I miss out any other model with invisible hood sold in Malaysia?
This is my comment, you can seek advise from your carpenter as well :
1) Standard wall cabinet height is 600mm while hood height is 750mm, so that it wont be blocking us while cooking. So, if we make it 750mm, we lose out in cabinet space and higher cabinet = harder to take things out from the cabinet
2) Standard hood depth at the smoke collector (bottom part of the hood) is 500mm+- and hob depth is from wall to the center of the burner is 300mm +-. So, Hood could efficiently trap and extract smoke.
Standard wall cabinet depth 300mm, this hood is 300mm as well, hence you will need to make your cabinet 350-400mm and this will cost a little more $$ and the hob will not be directly center below of the hood, hence not so good
3) Hood design is flat, no smoke collection chamber, not suitable for heavy cooking as smoke will tend to spread outside of the hood area
4) Using mesh filter design, require cleaning regularly to prevent oil from clogging the filter (recommended 1 - 2 days once) or else performance will drop a lot as oil is preventing air & smoke from entering the hood.
