Hob & Hood - Which Brand Should I Buy?

[originalbread 0]

Any one used Fujioh NL900 or F99 before? Didn't see much review for F99. I need one with chimmey as I have a beam just above my hood and I'm not doing kitchen cabinet above the hood. I think visually it will look better with a hood with chimmey but I do not want to choose a hood based on looks too. Btw, I used a EF brand chimmey hood before and its really almost useless. thanks!

I am clueless when come to such things.....help!!!!! <img src="http://203.142.16.149/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Ok..my 2cts..me and my wife just like Ariston, so for both last and this new kitchen, all using Ariston (maybe we are at Ikea too frequent, coz they use all Ariston stuff too! <img src="http://203.142.16.149/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ) BTW, do you know that Ikea now sells Hood, Hob and Oven!! I saw it at Ikea Tampines over the weekend. Ariston and Indesit brand, no prize for guess who they got it from. But Ariston tends to be more expensive than other 'house' brand like Indesit or Delizia, which most of the time got ALMOST the same specs. The rest never use b4, so cannot comment.

For hob, you got choice of flame, hotplate, vitroceramic and induction.

- Flame is the most common one and for people who cook a lot and grew up with using flame, most likely will stick to it.

- Hotplate is useless, avoid at all cost.

- Vitroceramic is what I use, cheaper than induction but run on electricity also. Nice and clean but most people will not be use to it. If you cook very little, this could be an alternative of choice. If 2 burner can use normal 13A socket, anything more will need higher Amp socket. Will need flat pots, pans and woks.

- Induction is the latest and have more feature, like if you put your hand on it, you will not feel hot at all, it also conduct heat when in contact with metal surface, and the heat will heat up very quickly. Kinda neat feature and good if got children. But most expensive and not all pots and pans can be use (though most should be fine). Need higher Amp socket to work.

In the end, your needs will determine your choice!

I'm looking at vitroceramic hob now because we planning to do open kitchen and it seems to be a cleaner option, less smoke I assume. Do you cook often? We are probably cooking during the weekends. And might use it to boil soup/tong shui also, not sure using vitroceramic hob will increase the electric a lot? Do you find that the electric bill expensive when you cook?

We visit Mayer recently and the sales person recommend the Ariston hob which is 13Amp. He said this is the only ones suitable for HDB and won't trip electric. However we find that the price is higher than brand like EF, it's $799. How much do you pay for the Ariston vitroceramic hob? Do you know where can find this kind of hob with reasonable price?

I also headache don't which brand to buy. Any recommendation? Currently, I'm using Delizia Chimney hood & hob. For my new place, I want to have a smaller hood, hob n built in oven, hopefully budget not more than 1.8K. I saw electrolux promo package only $1599 but too bad they can't hold stock for me.

Anyone here has been using turbo brand hob and hood? What is ur take on them? Is their fire good enough for our asian cooking? Been searching high n low for turbo reviews but seems to be not recommended for asian cooking,plus it doesnt last as long as it used to. How about its hood? The one that comes with metal filters and charcoal filters? Is the power good enough for our asian style cooking, such as frying?

The most recommended combo is always rinnai hob and fujioh hood. Since im not a fan of glass hob, i am looking at its stainless steel inner flame hob. Has anyone have it? How long have u been using it? Maintainance wise, easy? How do u ignite the flame when u the ignition fails( u are in the midst of cooking/ intending to cook something at that moment)? Regarding fujioh fx900r hood; do u find it too bulky? Is the maintainance the easiest among the rest? Does it work like it claims?

Sorry for the questions. Having headache in selecting hob and hood... hope someone who has been using any particular hob and hood for more than 3 or 5 years able to give sound feedback. What combo did u choose?

Thanks.

Appreciate for the quick response and quote. Do you mind me asking a few more questions before I decide on the models to get from you.

What is the different between the below hoods;

1) RH-90Er vs RH-90ERi

2) RH-382 vs RH-390

Which is easier in term of maintenance? RH-90Er/RH-90ERi vs RH-382/RH-390?

Need a quote for RB-3Si and RH-390

Thanks in advance.

HI Guys,

I have recently purchased a Brand New Chimney Hood from Electrolux that will be delivered to me on the 30/06/2012(Coming soon). However I have not started my renovation and realised that it does not actually fit my kitchen design. Thus I am trying to let it go at a Super Super Huge Discount compared to retail price. The warranty will start on the date when they deliver. You will not be able to find such low price anywhere. Below is the link to the Chimney Hood and I am letting it go at only $499 Firm. Do let me know should you be interested. First come first served. I can be contacted at 93399099. Thanks.

Hi Zero,

I need to buy a hod and hood for my new resale EA. My mum will cook at least 5 times a week for the family about 10 pax per dinner. As such I would need a hod that has big fire and a hood that has very good suction capacity. What brand and model would you recommend?
