Hi

I like the GCG90201 style, but at 900mm wide it's too big for my small kitchen. Is there a similar but smaller model?

charcoal filter is rm 60-80+- not included, averagely 1 year once depending how often n oily your cooking is.

nope, only 900mm 1 size

Too bad.. Which leaves me with GHG78211 vs GAG76202, which one is more recommended? I'm looking for a 2-burner hob, budget 1000-1500.

GHG78211 BCOZ GOT anti explosion glass, bakelite knob and cheaper a bit

i recently planned to buy hood + gas hob set for less than 2k
i saw Rubine Sirocco X + Rubine Figata2b for around 1.8k

dear sifus,
is the rubine set good? any review on this?
or is there any other suggestions?
thanks

hi all,
any recommendations for hood and hob budget around $2k+ ?

Would love to have those modern 45degree hood design..

within budget can get Livinox stone hood + lotus2b hob

Hi guys, comparing elba, rubine, robam and livinox. Which is the better option? Budget around max 2k

Hi bro.. thanks for your feedback.. Never heard of Livinox before and after searching them online, they are established by Malaysia company with German technology..

How reliable is this brand Livinox?

GHG78211 is currently on Pre-Ramadhan discount at Harvey Norman, RM1191.00. Is this a good price? I can't find cheaper price on Shopee or Lazada.

eh if we dont want to have wall shelves how do we install the kitchen hood ya? i ask my main contractor and he said (dont know he bullshitting me or i was confused with what he said) that its nots possible as the heat piping from the hood dont have anything to support it?


also btw got ke contractor who can help pasang the hood? how much usually they charge😅

There are hoods (recirculating type w/o the exhaust hose) and vented (need the hose to vent out the air).

I think his concern (besides hard to conceal) is that it is not easy to be able to support the hose/pipe as the fittings are not that common in MY..you can find end caps easily.. but fittings to hold up a flexi duct is a good question on availability.
if you run long distance horizontally a 6" PVC pipe easier to support than a drooping flexi duct. Can either use that steel belt that look like a flattened bicycle chain, or rest it on cheap aircon bracket/any L/C brackets.

can still get cheaper, sure got seller sell cheaper than harvey and shopee

the hose will be exposed, not nice only. or do a box up plaster ceiling to conceal the hose

so just not nice la kan... because thinking to put the hood first.. mybe cover or something that one later la as got change of plan .. need to move in asap ...

so just ask any contractor to do ke? usually how much they charge ah?

Ya the hood is normal install to wall I think.. based on http://www.fotile.com.my/products/user_man...017_EMS9018.pdf last 2 pages
it will mount to the wall by the metal plate
like aircon IDU drill few wall plug holes mount the plate, drop in the hood on the wall plate



the flexi exhaust hose not conceal je. but to mount this 6" a bit tricky
to mount the hose u can either use
steel belt https://shopee.com.my/3-4-inch-Steel-Band-w...7183.4812325430
PVC U clip https://shopee.com.my/PVC-Pipe-U-Clip-Grey-...8097.6657802044
stainless steel U clip https://shopee.com.my/SIMJU-Stainless-Steel...6369.7463239986
if support pipe aircon bracket also boleh https://shopee.com.my/Air-conditioner-Brack...5057.6946224672

U clip u need to find the one that can fit 150mm if using 6" pipe or hose, above example only
6" size usually hard to find the U clip fitting as mentioned above
6" PVC pipe (mount short flexi pipe to it from the hood) then flexihose to PVC pipe (use suitable pipe clamp) maybe easier for horizontal run coz just pakai 2 aircon bracket mount the pipe horizontally vent out. Flexihose need many supports if you wanna do horizontally as compared to pipe. Pipe u bring the flexihose along with the hose clamps to hardware store to buy easier.. so confirm fit.. maybe if need to adjust 5" pipe due to ID/OD issue also can do on the spot.

But the rough idea is there lah.

Anyone with a spirit level + rotary hammer (for concrete/RC wall) or hammer drill (if brickwall) can do.. not rocket science

Hi sifus, Livinox Mica + Lotus 2B, or Fotile JQG9031+GHG78211 is a better paring for 3k budget? Or any other brands which is better than this.

The design of Mica is it better than Fotile because it doesn't have protruding mirror out? Between this 2, which is easier to clean?

Also the price for the Fotile package is rm3K for both, with the extended warranty promotion during home fair, is this a good price?

hahaha thanks2 for ur reply.. make me macam wanna do diy or atleast ask my inlaws to help plak with this...

just wondering... instead of betul2 horizontal piping what if i do it at an angle like 45' ke? would it be better?

my logic was if got oil then the oil can flow back to the hood and hopefully into oil trap.. while hot fume can just "moves" better .

Yes, ideally exhaust ducting angle should be kept as vertical as possible since hot air rise up;
the exhaust duct should vent to outside air directly.

fixed (rigid) pipe give less resistance than the slinky flexihose so it is best to use fixed pipe wherever possible;
avoid sharp bends that require the airflow to turn 90degree or anything you see in initial D movie coz it really slow down the airflow
