Hi rabbitwsk & all,
Rinnai got 2 type of hood. One type using filter, meaning u change/ wash the aluminum filter regularly. Another type is using an oil pack, whereby oil is contained in 2 outlets & u pour away the oil after some time usage. The oil pack type one uses turbocco fan, whereas the other filter type doesnt use this technology. However, the sales told me the oil pack one will need to pour away the oil, clean the turbocco fan & also the aluminum filter. The filter type juz need to clean the aluminum filter, or one can buy disposable filter & throw away after usage. So maintenance wise seems that the oil pack one is more tedious. but my friend told us that turbocco fan is better. the sales said it is abt the same. in fact, the turbocco fan is ex by 20 bucks, but the sales said if want easy maintenance, buy for the filter type (which is a little cheaper also). Now we are kind of stucked. Dont know which to choose... Any1 can help to advise on which is a good choice? Appreciate your feedback.
