MeToo 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Went for a long search for kitchen hood, hob and sink.Visited 2 Hoe kee shops (Genting road, Plaza s'pura), 2 Poh Joo shops(In Jalan Besar area), Nan Wah (jalan besar), Adamas (jalan besar) and some more. When me and my wife were very tired to see anymore, and we have only bellari in our list, we went there.Met a very interesting sales guy Thomas Choy. As we went in (It's a small shop), we saw available models. He didn't disturb us for first 15 mins. Then he came in... What's plus with this Guy..1. He demonstrated all hoods and hobs. For hobs, he put utensils and show us how the flame goes and explained the difference between european cooking and asian cooking. 2. He explained the strength of Tempered glass and how the "tornado" flame can help to cook quite fast. Bellari tempered glass comes with lifetime warranty.3. For hood, he explained all models comes with same motor and same suction power (900 Cu.m) and the price difference is only becos of the design. He told us in what year each model was introduced and how they improved their design from customer feedback.4. He shown different albums of installation in customer places.5. He explained Bellari's quality of after-sales service.4. Bit dramatic in explaining and action, but the facts are real.Bought the hood (chimney type), hob (Black tempered glass with tornado flame) and Sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Already bought glass hob from Bellari. Actually more than the hob, I am fascinated by the tornado flame in action. It's true it really heat up quickly due to it's tornado flow. (Something like turbulence in Fluid mechanics - Any Engineers here ?? )Going for a glass hob is wife's choice. Let's see how it goes...

ws74er 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2007 I was there last wknd when Thomas did the same demo as well. Showed me all the bells and whistles of their glass hobs. I was particularly interested in the portable ceramic heater, which can double up to use in steamboat or travel.Hmmm. Already bought glass hob from Bellari.
