rm 4k budget for a hood is very high.

top range under fotile is emg9030 or ems9016, both also below rm 4k

Hi zheilwane,
how do you compare this fotile top end with this bosch serie 8 hood? From the available data, not that straight forward.

I’m using serie 8 hood and I wouldn’t recommend Bosch hood since the suction is weak. The reason I bought Bosch hood is because I don’t want to mix and match my hood & hob, but kinda regret it since I could just look for other better hood with hidden brand label to match my hob.

Hi, if you can share, which serie 8 model that you are currently using?

Also, what type of cooking that most challenging for the hoods, is it when you cook steak with super hot cast iron or it struggles when you cook nasi goreng and telur mata ?

I’m using DWB91PR50A.

I would say anything that involve “menumis” & deep frying (without lid) would be challenging in normal operation. Boost mode can cope, but that one only limit for around 5 mins I think.

That’s not good.
What mode are you on, recirculation or exhaust?
Im ordering the same as i want matching set. I have high hope that it will be able to tackle menumis and even steak.
Is it the smell that will be all over your house or the smell and the oil will be everywhere?


Fotile (one of the higher end model), as what zheilwane diligently explained and shared in this thread, seems to be better specced.
