Considered freestanding myself but decided to buy individual Western-style hob (Bosch Series 8) and oven set instead.
Benefit is that generally standard size, so 10 years down the line if it breaks you can swap easily with another model or brand if you'd like.
Problem is that it slots in between your counter so there will be a gap and you need to seal with tape or food etc can drop in between or behind, cleaning may be a problem depending on your setup.
Also be sure to check the flame power, may not be suitable for Asian cooking (like this one only goes up to 3.5KW) but depends on model.
I also prefer the oven at the side instead of below personally. More convenient for multiple people cooking and less bending especially for older folks.
If mostly Western cooking, it's very suitable but again depends on your situation. If you do a lot of baking and have money to spend, can consider getting full gas model (oven also runs on gas), quite common overseas and very luxurious.

going to get gas stove but abit headache with the placement.

due to the yard space/layout, i am planning to put the stove against the wall and sink against the wall. the reason is behind the wall is a toilet and there is ventilation window right above the sink.

but i also read putting gas stove against window is a big no and could cause hazard due to the wind so should i swap with sink and close the toilet ventilation window when cooking?

I'm currently renovating my kitchen and looking for a new gas hob. Previously using those budget type like from Elba/Rubine costing around RM500. At that time, the only feature that I was looking for is the safety valve, so I just look for the cheapest one with the safety valve.

But now I see, there are also some higher ends one (some as recommneded in this thread) which will cost around RM1.5k to 2k. Just wondering, what are the benefits of these if compared with those budget ones?

Also for the kitchen top opening, is there any universal or rule-of-thumb opening size that can fit a few brands instead of an opening that can just fit 1 model?

Thanks

Maybe you can share some sketch/pictures so that it's easier to understand your situation.

For me, I would prefer to put the hob against a solid wall instead of a window. Besides the wind issue, it will be much easier to wipe clean the tiled wall after cooking instead of wiping the windows with the frame, grills, etc.

Similar as below
If swap to the sink location then it will be tricky to put a hod above as there is bathroom ventilator right on top. beside that sink is a wall+mini wondow

that is not my pic. table top not done yet.

how about island hood? it will be mounted at the ceiling only right?

my idea right now is the same as the picture + install the wall fans to blow directly to the window

island hood exp and suction lower, can use regular chimney hood

If you are near by Subang area.

Purchased (Fotile) unit for my house and my parents.
No problem and very satisfy with his recommendation.

Been selling hood and hobs for more than 10 years and here are a few things that most customers wan for their gas hob

1) Safety with auto cut off gas when there is no flame
2) Timer to automatically cut of gas or turn off flame.
3) Wind Shield to prevent heat loss and minimize wind disturbance such as air con
4) Low flame control, many customers complain that most of the HIGH FLAME power hobs cant achieve low flame. Even at the lowest flame setting, it is still too powerful.
5) Strong Flame power above 5kW

Fortunately i was able to test and review on a new hob from DE&E model S7850, it is able to fulfill all the requirements above and the market price is less than RM 1500 which is about the same price of most HIGH FLAME hob in the market

Hi all,

I know this will be an old question but just wanna know about the latest technology.

Currently we are using gas hob, and will use those traditional round bottom wok for frying etc. While for soup, will use either s/steel or ceramic flat bottom pot. Cooking portion is normally for 3 ppl.

Now we are looking for a new hob for our renovated kitchen. Personally I'm keen to get a gas hob as we are used to it. But got some though of getting an induction instead mainly due to the safety, e.g. in case forgot to turn off the gas supply when got distracted during cooking.

I see online some ppl saying that can use a ring adaptor for those round bottom wok on an induction cooker, but some said that it will be very slow in heating up this since there's only 1 contact point instead of the whole base of the wok.

This would like to know, based on the latest induction hobs available, if it's just easy to switch over from a gas hob? Anyone here who regretted in doing so?

Thanks

Hi, I realise they kinda hard selling JADE model to me today, what are the competitor model from Livinox or Fotile model you suggest?

yes if u add ring adaptor, it will be slower as contact point is lesser. Change to flat bottom wok for better performance if u plan to use induction hob.
FOr those not sure to get ceramic or induction, here is a test comparison


Alternatively u can use gas DE&E s7850 got timer, so u can set timer to auto turn off for u

For budget can check out Livinox Nite or Fotile EMS9028s

For performance, Livinox Copperblk or ROSE then Fotile AMG9007i or JQG9009t

in between LIVINOX and FOTILE price range, DE&E HA939

Livinox Copperblk is newer model of Mica? I'm now looking between this two, what are the things that I should take note or concern? Cleaning?

Copperblk similar deisgn compared to mica but MICA slimmer. New model copperDC to replace copperblk, same design jus DC motor

CLeaning wise siimilar, copperblk or mica, open the glass n wipe

Ok thank you for your knowledge sharing. I stick with slimmer design with the MICA then.

PS. Anyone from KL definitely please go support zheilwane

How does fotile 9009t compare vs 9009s?
