iceblue, i got to know of turbo hob+hood packages while browsing at citygas showroom. citygas is currently giving a 10% discount on all package prices on condition that u buy a cookbook (~$16.90) that they are promoting.
what i did was call up a neighbourhood appliance shop with the model numbers and asked them if they could better citygas' offer. they will usually try to match your asking price.

hi meg, citygas showcase is not totally comprehensive, esp if u are considering brands like teka, bellari, mayer, cuizino, brandt. but there is enough variety (mostly jap/asian brands) to make your trip worthwhile. else u can check out hob hood models on display at electrical supermarts like best denki, harvey norman, safe.
i got the turbo 2 ring burner and slim hood.

lynntsh, me chose SB for my hob... the fire from the tornado one looks so big... scary lah...

Hey James, I hope you are not one of those 'paid' by a competitor to bad-mouth others. Real bad of you if you do not have any proof. The last time I asked this question of originality, I was given their factory's contact number in Italy to call. Unfortunately, cannot speak Italian neither can the other party speak English well enough for me to comprehend. Enough said; I've since learnt not to believe entirely everything being written in the forum. Better to find out myself in person. Cheers!
juz bought turbo hob & hood cheap but the stainless steel will get stain easily. they got a lot of models & sizes. i prefer funnel then those slimline hood coz more powerful mine slimline like doesn't filter the oil well. the delivery man from shell gas actually recommend rinnai brand.
I dun think every month lah..
but got tipped that there will be another sales before the GST hike..
when I was there...Lady M wasn't there...was served by another lady..who was rather pissed at my wife for making certain remarks on the sink..I think that's not very Professional...haha

It is possible, but you would need to compromise on your mix and match... for example, glass hobs and glass hoods are generally more expensive than stainless steel ones and digital ovens cost more than analgoue ones.
For the package I bought , it was a Cuizino one :
Glass Hob P8.3 VCWGT 2 tone frosted glass colour (3 burner type)
S/S Square Chimney Hood NC598X
Analogue Oven OV728X S/S
Total : $1045 nett incl. of GST & 1 year agent's warranty

I am not fully aware of the differences between brands, but the most basic difference is that the analogue uses knobs to manually adjust the setting for the temperature and timing (for baking / cooking etc), whilst the digital ones uses electronic buttons to adjust and has a lighted display. It's better that you visit some of the showrooms that display such ovens to fully comprehend the functions & features of such ovens, also the difference in price can be quite significant for some brands/mdoels.
one of the difference between digital and analogues ones are as pointed out by rainforest and that is the basis of how the temperature is set.
Another way to look at it also is that with the electronic control, you must be aware whether the oven can be controlled in graduation of 5 degrees or 1degres.
high end models usualyl are in 1 degrees increment and this makes the temperature control very very precise as compared to the digital control that has graduation of 5 degrees but most cakes would be able to tolerate plus minus 5-10 degrees or even more depending on the type of cake that is.
and on the other hand for analogues, sometimes some chef or those who bakes change the temperature by gut feeling and if its sorta better using the analogues as using digital they are not able to 'feel' the difference.
There are pros and cons but i would like to try the digital temperatyre setting which i havent as yet.
Though

you can get budget cooking hob and hood at the affordable prices.
for example, major departmental stores have been having sales. can check them out for good buys.
and also, from what i have heard, brands such as turbo has been holding warehouse sales in they provide packages for them. worth checking them out as well.
but still. the best is to get something safe and reliable. especially when you are doing alot of cooking in the kitchen.

i'll be getting an optic white glass hob from turbo when my house finishes its reno.
for glass hobs generally it's not suitable for heavy cooking as there are several limitations to what kind of pots and pans can be put onto it.
other than that, i think that's about it for getting a glass hob.

that was the main concern about getting a glass hob. prolong usage of it under heavy cooking equipment may caused the glass to give way eventually.
other than that, that's the main issue about the glass hob.
if you want, i can help you ask when i call the turbo office up in regards to my order for you.

thanks for the tip dear.
i went back to the turbo showcase and asked the sales person. he recommended a few models for my family.
we are currently looking thro the selection but personally my heart is with the optic white glass hob. hehehe.
let's just see what my family decides on.

please do that. the sales person will recommend you what is suitable for your family lifestyle and all.
i think the best would be to think thro carefully and not get it on the impulse. the optic white glass hob may be pretty but it has its restrictions. so it's best to think carefully about what kind of hob to get!
