Thanks man. Yes it is totally not suitable for Asian cooking. But have to deal with it since we have bought it now.

Hi all,

I am looking into getting a hood+induction cooking hob from either Electrolux or Fotile. But I'm also looking into a basic one due to budget constraint.

What do you think of the pairing below? Can any sifu give me some insights? Basic cooking only

Combo 1:

Types	Brand	Product Code	Price
Hood	Fotile	EMS9028S	1,480
Hob	Fotile	EEG-75201	2,499

Combo 2:

Types	Brand	Product Code	Price
Hood	Electrolux	EFC935SAR	1,730
Hob	Electrolux	EHI7260BB	2,399

Would really need some help here guys, as i am going into construction state soon. Thanks in advance!!

Electrolux, simply because Fotile is a China brand and Electrolux is a Swedish brand.

That's a horrible point lol

im also in the dilemma , shall i get a combination hob with induction and ceramic or shall i just get ceramic cooker double hob instead?

Some recommend me to get either ceramic or mix hob.

so what do you say about it? me ?biggest chance will get a mix hob lar

Still cant decide yet. If get mixed type, I not sure if i will accidently wrongly use or not.

dont think so , cause the pot indicator will show error and cant heat up if wrong pot is use on induction surface bha

BRAND is one thing, the technology and the product is what u should consider. if u notice, fotile consistently upgrading their products while electrolux like not much changes compared to 10 years ago. If you are looking for good spec then EMG9035 + eeg75201, for me i prefer induction, so i got myself EIG76203 for my new kitchen

Goods news we moved to a new place and showroom is now reopen. However will b closed again for 4 days 9 - 12 dec 2022 for HOMELOVE expo in mid valley (selling only fotile that day) this will be our final expo for this year, so best to buy now before price increase next year

check your pots at home, if you have many different type of materials such as claypots or glassware then use ceramic mix induction.

if you are moving to a new place and buying new pots then get induction, jus make sure when u buying the new pots they are labelled induction compatible.

From my experience of using gas/ceramic & induction, induction cook as fast as gas while ceramic is slower because it maintains the temperature (auto turn off once temperature is achieved), For example when you are boiling soul or water, u will c bubbling and then sop, then bulling again, then stop (maintaining temperature) While Induction is similar to gas, you will c the water keep on bubbling (boiling)

so is it pleasant to use a mix hob?
hope you can share, plus im on tight budget to re-purchase all induction compatible pot and wok, it's exhausting

yes is OK to use mix, if u wan budget yet OK quality, LIVINOX leh-4118 is good enough

What should I compare while choosing hob? Power level n wad else?

New place. I think I will go for mix hob.

for those still considering induction or ceramic, here is a video to share. FOr me, my choice would be FOTILE EIG76203 (full induction)

Higher kW does not always = better performance, as tested a 2.1kW induction hob boil water faster than a 2.3kW ceramic hob

1) whether it is power sharing or not (some brands left side 2kw right side 2kw but max sharing only 2.8kw) means left and right zone add up max can only go til 2.8kw. So, you need to see if this is an issue for u or not

2) Brand reliability and also spare part cost. U don wan a product to spoil and later find out that no spare part or the repair cost is as expensive as buying a new hob

Nevermind, I did some research about LPG power outputs.
Seems that 1kg = 13.6kW
If I'm not wrong on it, 1.5 and 2.0 should have maximum output of 20.4 and 27.2 respectively.
Assuming my maximum hob output is 13kW, I still should be well below the limit of the regulator.

I have a small issue with the Fotile GHG78211 burner. Seems like the smallest fire on the knob is still very high. Any idea how to reduce the flame power?

I am not able to cook birdnest on low heat due to this, and had to use another induction cooktop.

hi anyone can help comment on this please? thanks thanks

tagging zheilwane for help as well please thanks
