QUOTE(zheilwane @ Oct 2 2016, 09:11 AM) If u ask me, i get IA90SM, having clearance now, definitely a better buy  However, if u let me choose, i go for IA90D as Olive is using mesh filter. If you have friends using kitchen hood, ask them are they using mesh filters and how is the performance Thanks for your recommendation, zheilwane! At last, I have chosen RCH-IA90D-GX + RGH-TONIA2B-90BL. I got a friend using mesh filters. According to him, the performance is not good after a while. After I did some homework, I found that mesh filters require frequent cleaning compared to baffle filter. Here is a simple comparison http://www.akdyusa.com/baffle-vs-mesh-filt...uld-you-choose/

QUOTE(J_Vansen_S @ Oct 4 2016, 12:01 PM) Hi @Chosei, I am also choosing RCH-IA90D-GX~!, but just wondering what makes u choose RGH-TONIA2B-90BL? Instead of perhaps IA920AT-BL which has higher 5.5(kW)? I chose TONIA2B because this hob has the farthest distance between two burners. And also, I think TONIA2B is an old model. You can easily get it for below 1k. https://lifegood.com.my/product/rubine-gas-...h-tonia2b-90bl/Wider burner distance is the unique feature for this model. Try imagine, you are cooking with a big wok while boiling soup with a big pot, then you will get a better view of what I mean. -- As for kW rating, like zheilwane mentioned TONIA2B is good enough for asian cooking.

QUOTE(zheilwane @ Oct 4 2016, 11:55 AM) Good job in doing your own research. I mentioned and explained this many times but competitors still wanna argue this point  My sis-in-law is using hood with mesh filters as well. She seldom cooks. Even she cooks, also instant noodles only. When I touched the filter, it is so sticky. This filter is easily clogged with grease. No wonder the performance is poor.

QUOTE(weikee @ Oct 4 2016, 11:10 PM) Is better to have a sticky mesh than having a sticky / oily internal. I am using baffle now. One will trap more oil another will trap less. There are good mesh and bad baffle too. Mesh if worse just replace it is also cheaper. if rajin wash the mesh filter, then performance not a problem. cheap and good weikee, which model are you using now?
