QUOTE(Ching Aik @ Jul 28 2020, 05:11 PM) Hi guys, I at Starling Mall's home expo seen Allmilmo Kitchen Design's promo package. Pricing is very tempting and the display kitchen cabinet/wardrobe quality looks promising.  Their facebook/official web looks newly setup only and no review. Facebook = https://www.facebook.com/allmilmo/Official = http://allkd.my/I want to ask is this too good to be true? Have anyone tried them before and how's the quality and experience? Regards ChingAik I think they're still new and developing compare to other brands, if possible to build first & pay later then better, avoid getting cheat.

QUOTE(Ching Aik @ Jul 29 2020, 02:18 PM) They request full payment then only start working. I just found their website address/contact same as a company named LSS Kitchen Design. Quite a few people mentioned bad experience with LSS, guess they are same company but changed name to reset reputation then continue operate. Better avoid it then..

QUOTE(pmaxv @ Dec 8 2020, 08:22 AM) I did my cabinet with Bespoke Kitchen (in Puchong) and would vouch for them. Their cabinets are done very well with decent price. They got the alignments all very nice and smooth. And Sam is a trustworthy person. So I would definitely return to him again. Too bad they only has melamine as cabinet body, else might give a try.

QUOTE(blank_slate @ Mar 7 2021, 12:57 AM) Just want to check the sifus here, is granite sink recommended? Saw one almost 1k for 600mm++. And is there anything shop recommended to buy sink and water tap? Thanks in advance. If you worry about glass type tableware crash when accidentally fall or throw to the sink, then you should avoid granite sink. Also daily clean is highly recommended.

QUOTE(mista_amin @ Mar 13 2021, 10:29 AM) Interesting. My wife is interested with Blanco granite Silgranit sink. Should we avoid this? Anyone has any experience with Blanco Silgranit sink? Thanks in advance As long you always put down tableware gently then should be ok, also daily cleaning to maintain it  But for quality about the brand then I'm not sure about it

QUOTE(kuchaikway @ Mar 13 2021, 12:03 PM) You don't know what you are talking about. SS sinks require more care and wipe down than granite sinks. SS will be probed to scratch too. Maintenance wise a granite sink is far easier to maintain than SS sink. I never have to clean my granite sink ever. The advantages and disadvantages of these two type of sinks are discussed many times in many threads previously. It is down to individual preference. Perhaps you have a cheap/bad quality SS sink previously, my current SS sink has better scratch resistant. Sorry if I said anything wrong about the maintenance of a granite sink, but pretty sure you will have your glassware break easily if you don't handle it well

QUOTE(kuchaikway @ Mar 13 2021, 06:24 PM) If you call Kohler a bad quality SS sink. Regardless of how better scratch resistant it will be scratched unless you put a protective mesh wire protector. I also have to use 3M SS cleaner to keep it from getting water marks and stains as I am lazy to do the wipe down every time after use. I did say that granite sinks are essentially artificial stone. Thus any glassware hitting it hard will break. That is the con of the granite sink. However, granite sink is literally maintenance free. I'm having Itto handmade SS sink with nano tech, seems better than the Kohler SS sink you had. Btw perhaps you could recommend the brand/model of granite sink you're using since not every brands of granite sink will be the same.

QUOTE(kuchaikway @ Mar 13 2021, 08:32 PM) With due respect, your Itto is no way better than Kohler the same way a myvi is better than a BMW. May be you should provide your Itto's superior specs?? I happened to also installed Blanco sink for my wet kitchen so I know what I am talking about. I wouldn't say Blanco is the best but it is a solidly built sink that it is actually offering life time warranty for the product under normal use. Hmm I think you don't understand about nano tech SS sink, may refer to video above for explanation. Yeah you might correct about the pricing which your Kohler is expensive than Itto or any other nano tech sink, but, at least it won't have those issues you mentioned on your Kohler sink, remember that a engine modified car can be much faster than a BMW

QUOTE(kuchaikway @ Mar 13 2021, 09:07 PM) Nano tech application in sink is just adding another protecting later to the ss. It is not a cure all solution. What you obviously do not understand is you can't mofify your sink the way you modify your kancil. Moreover you can turbo charge your car but whether you can make it stop in time is another issue. The bottom line is you don't have a granite sink and you are making wrong assumptions about the sink. You have a cheap nano sink and you assume that it is better than a Kohler. You really need to learn more. I am still waiting for your greatest Itto specs. You're making wrong assumptions about SS sink as well, since you don't have a SS sink with nano tech. Anyway let's just stop it here, conclusion is as long you're satisfied with your product and doesn't give you any trouble, then it's a great product; if it cause you trouble, it's a bad one regardless of its price. Btw you can search the specs online if you want to know, it's not that difficult after all. Peace

QUOTE(blanket84 @ Mar 13 2021, 11:06 PM) Really it's maintenance free? I keep hearing people keep mentioning about their granite sink staining after a while. I am worried that mine would turn like that one day. I couldn't find much info about maintaining granite sink though. What brand is that itto because this is the first time I heard of that brand. And what is nano tech? I would say it's not a famous brand since same like you I also first time heard of this brand before purchased it, important thing is the sink comes with nano tech and I found it on shopee which ranked in best selling. https://shopee.com.my/product/67479754/7338...54-1615648996.9Actually there's much more other brand than this Itto, same thing is they're all come with nano tech. https://www.creavesolution.com/black-nano-s...-kitchen-needs/https://youtu.be/OohyNPhoWsE

QUOTE(blanket84 @ Mar 13 2021, 11:40 PM) Seems like not much info on this nano tech on sink other than info from china seller. They don’t use this tech in US or in Europe? And will the coating wears off? What would happen to the sink if the nano coating wears off? Some mentioned the tech come from Germany but who knows, most of the stuffs are made in China now. Regarding the coating, only time will tell, mine still <1 year so everything still like new.

QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Mar 17 2021, 05:33 PM) Possibly moving in to a new house. It's a barebone unit so I need to do extensive renovation. For kitchen, I previously had a local contractor but the experience has been pretty disappointing. Scratches like mad, laminate peeling, cabinets not shutting flush. On my second property, I opted for Ikea. The experience was much straight forward and everything was itemized nicely. Spent a day to submit design, spent another day for their contractor to install. Done in 2 days, very painless. Rust marks on their stainless steel panels? A few calls and they sent someone to replace them. No problems at all for the rest, long lasting. So this new property, I'm wondering if I should again opt for Ikea. I've been told that outside contractors are cheaper but are they really that much cheaper? And is there any renovation companies that provides 25 years warranty? Bleno kitchen, aluminium cabinet and lifetime warranty. Previously based in Johor and have setup their branch in Selangor this year Feb, going to have my new KC with them.

QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Mar 17 2021, 09:20 PM) But are the pricing competitive? I'm curious if they will really show up if I see some tiny rusted stains on the panels...even when I was reporting it to IKEA I thought it will never happen but then they showed up lol Very good points, it's true like if I got sick of the surface panels, I can just go to ikea and order new ones. Also about knowing exactly what you get is also very true. Everything is itemized nicely and hand picked yourself. Test out as much as you one in their showroom... Not sure about market price so don't know if it's competitive, but would say affordable based on the KC I requested. Here's their fb page, quite a lot good review: https://www.facebook.com/blenokitchen/

QUOTE(CYBERJUDGE @ Mar 27 2021, 07:53 PM) Hi, Wanted to ask about payment for kitchen cabinet... Do you guys pay in full before work even started ? They claim that payment needed to be in full before sent design to factory... Unless they're reputable contractor/company, else high risk to lose your money there.

QUOTE(fleur_cherie @ Mar 30 2021, 10:47 AM) Alamak, i already paid signature full amount. Should be ok is it since it is a reputable brand? The only risk is that they may or may not entertain you if you have some dissatisfaction about the final product. Both signature and unity are quite popular in KC so shouldn't have issue like incomplete job after full payment.

QUOTE(joeblow @ Apr 22 2021, 04:27 PM) Did you get Ikea to come to take measurement or you did it yourself? I was quoted roughly 15 to 20k for the wet and dry ktichen. BTW Ikea may claim 25 years warranty, but if you read the terms to it, pretty much hard to claim since they don't cover wear and tear. For my new house I am waiting for ID quotation and also maybe will go for Classic aluminum one. Also Ikea is under considering if everyone quotes me above 20k. Ikea offer aluminium cabinet as well?  QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Apr 22 2021, 10:53 PM) I got them to send someone over to take measurement.. it's the safest way since I don't know how to measure everything... Honestly, wear and tear is a bit broad. Like my aluminium panels were supposedly rust proof but due to my normal wear and tear, I think the insides were exposed. Hence it's rusting. So I reported the issue and guess what.. they send someone and replaced the panels with rusts.... Do you know any ID contractor that will layan this kind of request? Fully aluminium will never get rusty even wear and tear, got mine with lifetime warranty from my KC maker.

QUOTE(ceo684 @ Apr 23 2021, 02:50 PM) Fully alu (alu already "rusted" on the surface aka "oxidised" in normal condition) so it will not rust any further, as what you see is already Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide) on the surface. It can still be subject to corrosion if the surface film is removed through strong acid/alkali. Just like 10-year old unopened soft drink cans self-destruct https://www.kloecknermetals.com/blog/alumin...sion-resistant/Strong acid/alkali is not normal wear and tear
