AlezDrake75 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Hi,I'm new to Renotalk but i'm excited to share the experience of my renovation with someone, anyone... EVERYONE! Lol Just got an EM in the West & started my reno last week... Reno contractor's Desmond from KHS http://www.khsdesign.com/ who's given me a reasonable quote...Anyway, does anyone knows what's a suitable motor suction for an open concept kitchen? And the cheapest yet efficient chimney hood i could find?! (Btw, we seldom cook at home, only on big occasions.) Thanks for your time reading this & in advance for any advice/s...Hear from you guys soon...There's a link to my new nest, do have a look. Comments, advices & remarks are welcome!

potatoes 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Alezdrake! Welcome to this wonderful forum. You can check out price of chimney hood from Mayers..... they offer brands like aristonand indesit ....their price is not steep but may not be the cheapest. I bought ariston LED chimney hood from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summersann 6 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to the maisonette club! We have an open kitchen too but we didn't get a hood, because the hoods we've had so far have proven useless. We don't cook much either, so we didn't see a need for one. So far, we've had no issues with cooking smells in the house. But that's probably because we rely heavily on the air fryer and mainly only cook soups and stews on our hob All the best with renovation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought ariston LED chimney hood from them.Hi Potatoes! Thanks for welcoming me My wife & me are looking at either Turbo or Tecno chimney hoods as they cost lesser than Mayer or Ariston. I heard from my contractor that it's best that i get something >Motor Suction 900m3/h. But we realize that cost way beyond our budget. So probably will look at package deals around $1.2k for hood & hob... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We plan to get ourselves food steamer & slow cooker for weekend meals. I'm not into deep-frying (except during CNY) so probably getting something mid-range in terms of functionality & pricing for the hood, hob & built in oven... Will update more pics on Flickr.

3Dyms 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Congrats & welcome to the EM Club. I'm at the west side too and my Reno is nearing completion (finally). If you looking at Turbo, I remember seeing some promo packages when I got my sanitary stuffs from Adamas at TradeHub 21. I'm using Teka hob & hood and their pricing is quite reasonable. Another option you may wanna hv a look at. Have fun with your Reno journey and look forward to updates especially more pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats to you too! 5 more weeks to go for me Can't wait to move in... Do you have any pics which we can share ideas ? I've told my contractors to removed both the top level bathroom windows & leave them open. Not sure if it works but we'll see... Wish me luck in that! Will update more pics on Flickr. Stay tuned!
