Hmmm looks ok. Gonna visit shop and take a look. Is there any similar model incase couldnt find this?
I guess the main/common thing for hood is suction, self cleaning, and touchless rite? Is there anything function else I nid to compare?

My bro just bought Elba Zitto, comes with blowing cooling air. LOL!

By the way, how about cooking stove? Is there any recommended model?

Actually self cleaning hood only help to reduce a little oil at the fan blades, it wont clean the entire hood

anyone have recommended for downward kitchen hood?

you are looking for hood like this? unless ceiling is low or no wall to mount chimney hood. Downdraft hood waste ur cabinet space as the duct will b hidden inside ur kitchen cabinet.

Hi, I will be moving into my new house soon and is looking for kitchen appliances now. I see so many Fotile advertisements lately and many ppl seem to be using it.

How does it compare against Bosch/ Rinnai? I understand that Fotile is from China but the price range can be similar to Bosch or Rinnai. Hence wants to get the feedback from here.

I have not seen any bad reviews about Fotile so far so i guess its pretty reliable. I myself also just bought a Fotile gas hob and oven. I guess they are considered one of the better China brands when it comes to kitchen appliance because that's their only focus unlike brands like Midea or Haier that have a larger product portfolio. The other similar brand is Robam but not much mention about them here

Bosch is considered premium tier when it comes to kitchen appliance and their price reflects that. But I've read some bad reviews about their after sales service though, mainly due to spare parts

Rinnai is well known for their gas hobs

im actually look for gas hobs together with the kitchen hood for a small space. Hse is only 650 sqft so kitchen is kinda small. any recommendation at a reasonable price. Tot of downdraft hood but brother zheilwane said waste cabinet space. So back to normal ones

Anybody knows any good budget kitchen hood? Most probably cost about 1k+-

The most space saving is 60cm hood + domino hob but for very light cooking only, low performance but super cheap and space saving

Can consider Livinox Nite, quite cheap if wan cheaper than can check shopee or lazada there are some brands less than 1k (i dont sell via shopee and lazada), other seller

prefer double gas hob side by side instead of front n back.
was 850m really very light cooking wo

is there any cooker hood no need to drill the wall hole for the hose

Thanks sifu for the recommendation, will look into it.

Any budget gas hob as well? or combo that wont exceed around 1.6k

Then you need to look for recirculation type.

Dear all, I have shortlisted these 2 models. The hood will be boxed up by cabinet.




T type:
Con: easy to knock the head, since I am using induction stove and max recommended distance of hood is 700mm from the stove. 700mm + 850mm (tabletop height) is rather low.

Pros: cheaper with higher airflow, quieter and lower motor wattage, cleaner although traditional look

Sloped:
Con: unsure of its performance as I've never used before.
Will it easily kena oil splash, say when deep frying something?

Pros: less likely to knock on it?
More modern design?

Which one is easier to clean and maintain? Any thoughts? TIA.

I am planning for a kitchen re-do. Can anyone (esp the brand/store reps) here suggest best combo for a 3k budget and 4k budget? Does not need to be same brand.

My priorities are:
1. hob - 2 burner, high heat and safety cut-off.
2. hood - air flow about 1400m3/hr, not very noisy and looks good as it will be on its own without any wall cabinets at the sides.

I see there are even combos on offer for less than 2k, e.g., Rubine. Are these ok, or to be avoided?

Thanks.

Isit this one?

How usually the power outlet for the hood would be,i mean the wiring and the location?
Any sample picture?

Im confused on which type of hood to buy,T-Shape,U-shape or slanted.What is the pro & cons of these?

Hi guys, I see there is promotion for RCH-NEORA-90BL combo with Rubine Hob Vista 2B for RM1788.

Wondering whether is a good deal? Is the hood and gas hob good enough for heavy cooker?
