Hi hapict,

Hahaha...wat a way to describe the oil cups, so funny! Where did u get it from? Got any pics to show? I dun mind investing ard $900+ if it's good looking and practical to use. In fact, I rather not get cheap one which give trouble after some time cos my MIL does heavy duty cooking almost everyday. She's also very particular about her cooker and hob. What is the m/3 for your hob? Is it in stainless steel or tempered glass for cooker? Would prefer tempered glass cos din really like the feel of stainless steel...

What are the differences between the chimney type of hoods versus the slimline ones ?

And in terms of maintenance, will the oil cups be much better than the filters. Is it that the suction power for the hoods with oil cups much faster than the filtered type ?

hi hapict,

when it comes to cleaning the hoods, are those with the filters easier or the ones which have oil cups inserted on the hood ?

also i heard that suction power is higher for chimney hoods rather than the slim ones. other than this difference, are there any major differences ?

Hi VL

for the metal filters, usually you have to take them (3 pieces is the norm i think) out n scrub them in detergent n warm water, depending on usage. A lady in best denki IMM told me to use toothbrush to scrub the tiny holes in the metal filters if not the filters will be worn away! *faint* duno true or not.

in the end FH chose one hood with the oil cups, so we just have to wipe the hood (smooth surface) n pluck out the cups to throw away the oil. Theoretically it's like this lah, cos we havent started using yet, so must be honest with you - i duno if it works. if it doesnt, will ask my FH 2 maintain it cos i din choose it. ke ke

as for suction power, IMHO yea i also think chimney hoods suction power would be higher than the slim ones (u mean the horizontal type?) and more in fashion now....

here is a photo.

If yes,pls advise ur solution...

Hi twinnie,
I have used Elica hood and hob for more than a year. So far no complaints. But I don't cook often.

Elica may not be well-known cos Sim Siang Choon is the sole distributor. Can't find this brand in other retail shops.

Actually, if you were to clean up your burners after each cooking session, your hob will go a long way. My MIL's hob is those cheap cheap type but it lasts her more than 15 years cos she cleans up her burners regularly. She's still using it.

One Ariston salesperson told me about the same thing. Cleaning up the burners regularly will ensure that your hob goes a long way.

Hope this helps.

Hi WY
A friend of mine is using this brand. I think it's also a decent brand. No complaints from her too.

Most important is to make sure that you clean up the hob and hood regularly.

Heh heh... one of the suggestion by another forummer... hope it is helpful

Hobs and Hoods

you are rite about keeping the hood and hob clean. Good maintenance will naturally lead to a longer lasting hood and hob set, regardless of the brand

We just got ours from Teka....the 20% sales for everything at their showroom over the weekend. It's a good bargain i would say, but i foresee maybe a even greater sale will be on ard june or May....too bad we need the stuff by this 2 months

How much can Asia Excel match? It's 20% off....i think i have been to Asia Excel before, their stuff are nice but ex lo.....like a bath mixer but too ex, plus they don have sales.

I find Teka sales service quite professional. The sales assisstance explain clearly to us of the function & pros & cons of their product. They don push us to buy their top range stuff & very patient with our question & i think we were in there for 1 hour plus and throughtout the selection, the same assisstant assist us even though more people were in.

Oh and i saw a tap which is on offer & can't decide whether to get it on the spot or not, she actually told us that, just give her a call if i want the tap & she will include it in at the same offer price, that's if we call back within a weeks time.

I have a enjoyable shopping trip there & glad we pop by & bought our kitchen appliances from them. Maybe next time you should try to go down & experience yourself too.
Cheers

Of course, the other sales were attending to the coming in customer at the same time as well, not just because we look like a potential buyer then she 'stick' to us.

Hi Rachely,

I agree with you, I brought my oven at Teka too last Nov (during the sale). In fact, I was at Teka earlier on when there wasn't a sale and the sales assistant told me there'll be a sale coming and she'll call me when the date's confirmed.

Before I decide on buying from Teka (during the sale period), I did call up asia, unfortunately they are unable to match the price that Teka offered.

My own experience, I called up a few shops during my applicances hunting period, and I didn't get any items from asia (I managed to get better offers at another shop). But I do have a friend whom brought a lot of stuff at asia with good prices. It's funny...

hihi ryvy

sorry to hear about your 'unfortunate' experience. The one who served us was Magdalene, we were served by another colleague of hers previously but however, Mag is the one whom left a deeper impression on us as she has better knowledge of the product she is selling. Don't be upset ryvy....

Hi Rachely,

I was also served by her, I like her attitude. I went down twice, first time served by someone after waiting for sometime. The lady whom served me offered to take down my contact no. and to inform me when there's a sale, but never called me. Second time I went, M served me. she's good. In total, I make three trips there before for my oven and tap.

So far, I'm a happy user of their products.
