Hi all,

I'm considering to install a fan at the wet kitchen, as when doing washing of utensils and dishes, it's a bit warm and sometimes got mosquitoes at night as well.

But since it's only a 5' extension, normal ceiling fan is too big for it. And those baby fans are too fancy and difficult to clean.

May I know if anyone has done this before? And can give some recommendations? Other than wall fan which seems it's the best option for now.

Thanks

Ya 44" is too big for me. Saw before those smaller ones, I think around 36" but they come with fancy light fittings so a bit hard to clean.

Would like to know if there's any suggestions on this?

Thanks

Actually we are using gas stove, and yes will install those wall exhaust fan (planning to get the Panasonic 10" type, I guess it should be OK ya? The 12" looks too big)

But the fan is more for ventilation when doing some preparations e.g. washing or cutting. Yes I'm considering this type of oscillating fan but wife said that it doesn't look nice

ya ya traditional way sometimes is better

but about the gas stove, as i know if the fire is off (no heat) then the safety valve will shut off the gas supply, so should still be safe ya?

a lot, look for "safety valve" at the specs. i've been using those cheap hob (less than rm500) that comes with this function.

but as mentioned above, this just a fail safe device. it's still better to prevent it from happening at the first place

ya that's true also

Actually I have bought a LPG gas detector for my mum's house as once they really forgot to turn off the gas (her type is those old table top type without the safety valve). I will also install 1 unit for my own kitchen even though the hob comes with the safety valve. It's not expensive as can get it from Taobao

thanks. ya i see a lot recently renovated kitchens/laundry areas are using this type of fan. how's your experience with it? but i also see some ceiling height is quite low thus the fan seems to be a bit low and reachable by hand, safety risk

may i know what's your ceiling height and if you feel the fan is too low?

for sure the exhaust shall be directly to outside, unless your kitchen is in the middle of the house where there's no direct access to outside then you will have no choice but to exhaust it to the ceiling void.
