Hob & Hood - Which Brand Should I Buy?

[blursotong 0]

Anyone?

Additionally, does the non-standard sizing of FS890 matter where cabinet is concerned?

Hi folks,

Any comments/experience on the following Fujioh Hood and Hob:

- FG 33 SV (hob)

- FX 900 (hood) [made in China]

- FS 890 (hood) [made in Japan]

Ok, I know FX900 is the hottest item now, but does FS890's made in Japan status matter? Do the 2 hoods differ that much?

any feedback on the Fujioh FG20SV Hob?

Not too sure whether Fujioh is a good and reliable brand. Any comments?

hey there.

i think with glass hobs there will be many limitations to how you can use it.

for example before i got my glass hob from turbo, the sales person clearly explained to me to do's and donts for the hobs and even asked me to consider it again based on my cooking habits.

Thanks! That's what he told me too - no heavy wok, no violent stir-frying (not sure if my stir-fry is violent, maybe it needs more kung fu). Now thinking of changing to gas hob instead

Has anyone heard of EF hobs and hoods? (Apparently they're the sister brand of the Elba brand)

Wife and i purchased an EF hood and tempered glass hob from Mega Discount yesterday, currently mulling over whether this was a good decision considering we read some stories about how some tempered glass hobs shattered for no reason.

anyone familiar with De Dietrich hobs and hoods? Need info.

My reply is probably too late but anyway...

Perhaps you'll like to go to their showroom to see the various models and ask questions there? Their staff are more knowledgeable about DD products compared to the retailers. Last time I was there this lady called Florence was quite nice, no hard sell.

Anyone here uses Fujioh FX900 Hood?? My concerns will be ease of cleaning and reasonable suction power for light cooking.

We're still not sure what brand of hob to get. Seen reviews about Rinnai's burners that will get rusty after sometime.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Also, anyone here going to organize a group buy for Hood and Hob???

anyone familiar with turbo's glass hobs?

i'm getting the 2-burner glass hob from them.

was attracted to it as it is pure white in color as compared to the other white glass hobs which has a slight bluish or cream tint in them.

said to be made from toughened glass, it has heavy duty pot stands as well.

as a light cooker, i think this would be perfect for my kitchen. and it'll be easier to clean as well.

as for the hood, i haven't decided on a model yet. any recommendations?

I intend to get this beauty...Rinnai 2 CG model....burner is recessed & looks really cool & neat!!!

However, there is this strip of opening at rear of the hob for air intake....so this means things can fall through this opening & into below compartments of the kitchen cabinet. Anybody has installed & can share experience of this hob?

Btw,not sure abt the price if get from JB. The last quote I found in this forum was S$670 for the 2 CG model.

I saw a display at Poh Seng. Price shown was abt $800+
