Hob & Hood - Which Brand Should I Buy?

[jaykr 0]

hmmm.... just want to say, don't listen to what the sales people tell no matter which company it is. You should do your research based on people who have used the products and provided their review.

I bought from them because they provided the best price for my Rinnai stove, Fujioh Hob , samsung fridge and washing machine and other appliances,

I however, bought them because many reviews rated them well. So far, no issues for me.

Another thing, those shops who told the the brands are not good might be doing that because they might not be getting good rates for rinnai and fujioh.

just my 2 cents.

^{Hi All,}

^{Just like to share my findings so everybody can make a more informed purchased decision.}

^{Last week, after some in depth research on kitchen appliances, I requested a quote from Jerome (a.k.a Zero) for some Techno kitchen appliances, namely Hob, Hood, Oven. In his reply, he quoted me a price for the requested items but however, went on to heavily promote Fujioh and Rinnai products instead, claiming that they were better. This got me a little suspicious as it was contrary to what my research have found. Many electrical and hardware shops had in fact told me that Fujioh and Rinnai products are inferior in terms of both quality and functionality to that of other market players. Being the skeptic, I continued my research and found out from this forum that Jerome (Zero) is the small boss of Kah Hock Repairer and Trading. I once again approached few other electrical shops and in my conversations with them, found out that Kah Hock Repairer and Trading also happens to be Fujioh and Rinnai’s contractor for installation and repair services. It then made sense to me as to why Jerome (Zero) pushed these two brands so heavily (would have 2 sources of income instead of 1?).}

^{I believe that I am not the only one who has experienced this and sincerely hope that my findings can help make everyone more aware about the possible reasoning behind his recommendations. Hopefully this would help everyone here make a more informed choice when buying.}

Hi Jerome,

I need advice for what brands and models for the above 3 items. I have an open kitchen and I need a good hood. We cook moderately, ranging between Chinese to some European dishes. I am only experimenting with oven dishes so may not need a very strong one.

We are currently looking at Rinnai (RB7503DGBSM/RBO5CSI) but we are open to other brand recommendations based on its durability (does not rust and perhaps easy maintenance) and ability.

May you recommend us as well as quote your prices as well? Kindly email me at dawn.hong@gmail.com.

Many thanks!

Maybe you might consider the Elba hood / hob? It can be reasonably strong chimney, and I've seen used in open plan before. I wouldn't use the Elba oven though (Bosch is much better if you care about your baking!!!). You can get good price on Elba from either Mega Discount Warehouse, or Poh Joo. Also, this brand EF is the same as Elba, but is manufactured in China, not Europe, so the finishing is not as good. It depends on your budget. I've used Elba for 6+ years and had no problems.
