erm.. actually if u buy hob itself is more exp. I havent start survey on rinnai brand ya, juz started survey for fotile hood only but i asked one shop b4 the price they quoted me is around ur price too. Maybe u try to bargain more la hehe.. As for the portable induction cooker, to me is not important lor coz my gas supplier come very fast one but it's all up to u

[babysiew]

nowadays gas comes very fast wan... and usually ppl who cook always will have 1 spare at home... my mum does that... i m only going for 2 burners hob... my hob comes free with the hood...

yes its good to have spare gas..i practice this also. i think boiling water/porridge is faster using electric than gas so the use of induction.

yesterday went to elba clearance sale in kepong. so many people lah and they grabbed things like its free oh..one gud buy is elba hood, aria brand, this one in shop they sell for 1100 but there at 600 only, but i oledy got the fotile..sold out very fast too. Aso many built-in oven, Tuscani sell for 1600 which i think not that cheap for clearance sale lor. Many people i saw buying this elba stove with cyclone flame..the flame look nice and pretty in blue .. just like ladies hehe. Lastly since i drove all the way from ampang to here, i think not good not to buy anything..at last i bought this medical digital omron thermometer just to check if kids (and myself) got fever or not for rm15 hehe..

[jacqline]

finally went to legend at ss2. Overall i'm happy with the price they offered me. The same fotile promotion set tat was quoted rm1850 at legend@sri petaling and i can get it here at only rm1800. Teka oven tat i wanted is actually rm100 cheaper than the guy quoted me at sri petaling too. Overall, i'm happy with the salesman here, coz he is very cincai. I asked for lower price and he is quite cincai juz to close sales.

[babysiew]

where is legend at ss2, jacq? i will make my last comparison this coming sun when hubby and i go back to Ipoh... if its not cheaper than legend@sri petaling, then i might wanna go legend@ss2, if its that cheaper...

[jacqline]

babysiew: u know where is murni restaurant or not? it's juz 1-2 shops next to it only. Else u can find secret recipe or public bank, it's juz same row as it. Very easy to find only hehe.. Let me know the outcome ya

[babysiew]

oh i know... facing the main road right... thanks!

i will oni go if the ipoh shop tat i am going this sun is higher than the legend@sri petaling... cos tat ipoh shop my FIL frequents quite often and whole house electrical also get from them... my wedding also the boss attended... and they have a branch at kepong... the boss said just tell whichever model we want and then he will ask his branch to send... if it is more expensive than legend@sri petaling, then i will go to legend@ss2... thanks ya... will let u know the outcome!

[evelynsaw]

need everyone's advise, i was walking in summit yesterday and i purchased a kicthen hood with suction power of 1080, a 3 burner hub, a stainless steel two basin and one working area, with a brass tap.

Tiscali brand for rm1250 is it worth it? i was very happy cos i thought i got a good deal until i got home and my mom said she never heard of tiscali before... now im worried...

[babysiew]

I heard of tiscali... shld be ok i think...

Twinkle, its the tempered glass hood and the hob is FAB... the tempered glass hood is D5BH...

Another shop asked me to buy Fagor... Fagor is from Italy... anyone using Fagor?

[jacqline]

Many SA told us to buy asian brand as we stir fry a lot, fagor is one of the recommended brand too but i dun think the suction power is strong enof... anyway babysiew, already done survey in ipoh? how is it?

hello everybody , I was tired looking around for kitchen hoods and hobs, and finally I got here and I think ONLY here is discussing kitchen hood wisely. I had limited budget for my new house cozz the renovation itself also killed me . So I had an eye on tiscali, dear evelynsaw could u pls share the specs and product info about the tiscali u booked? I googled a while and found that is an italian made, as opposed to opinions that suggest we asian should use asian made cooker hood, anyway I dunno a cent about this. pls enlighten me

[babysiew]

Fotile is an asian brand while fagor is italy brand... i am more into fotile than fagor.. go for fagor if only u wanna have an oven to come with it... then its cheap to get fagor... if not its cheaper to get fotile... fagor suction power is not bad too...

Ipoh electrical shop... very comparable... he not only can give a comparable price, the best thing is he recommends something better... like electrolux 7kg washing machine 984 model costs rm2200, he recommended something similiar, Bosch 7kg also... rm1900... cheaper by RM300, same rpm... he said one thing is better, Bosch stainless steel drum is a one piece drum while electrolux is a few piece drum tat is held together by rubber... its true... we saw it! like water heater, his price is quite low but he recommended gas water heater by rinnai which costs like 1 unit of electricity water heater but can service ur bathrooms and kitchen at the same time using cooking gas...

[jacqline]

babysiew, wat price can u get from ipoh for fotile hood & hob set?? And also where is the shop in kepong? Do u think kepong is more exp than ipoh?

[evelynsaw]

Hi Seriouskit,

For RM1,250 we got :

1. Tiscali twin tub stainless steel sink (RRP RM550)
2. Chromed brass tap (RRP RM80)
3. Dorex stove (tempered glass with 3 gas burners)
4. Tiscali 765 V8 Cooker Hood (curved tempered glass & stainless steel)

If you want to see the picture, will have to wait as the brochure is in the car. The sink is brushed stainless steel and has working area which we can place the dish rack. At RM250 inclusive of the tap, it's a steal. The shopkeeper in Summit was honest about his product and easy to talk to. Originally he had recommended a Dorex cooker top which has about 10% more suction power to the Tiscali. But it requires filter change which cost RM15 each. The Tiscali is easier to maintain and so we decided to go for it. The Dorex suction power was strong enough to hold a 5kg plank in place! We just hope that we made the right decision. Keeping our fingers crossed and see how the items fair in the coming years

need everyone's advise, i was walking in summit yesterday and i purchased a kicthen hood with suction power of 1080, a 3 burner hub, a stainless steel two basin and one working area, with a brass tap.

Jacqline,

I had done my survey for hood n hub, basically, fagor, pacific and fortile are in my list. However, last weekend, after discussion with my hubby, we decided to go for Fagor Hood n hub.

Agreed with bbsiew, fortile is really suitable for asian cooking and suction damn good. Fagor fire will be abit smaller if compare to fortile. We choose fagor instead of fortile based on some of our experiences and some personal reason.

here's the price i got for my selection : fagor Stainless steel 3 burner hub (there's no 2 burner hub for stainless steel) and fagor chimney hood (the one which come with glass)

If getting fagor from D legend, the price they quote us is RM4800+ without installation and 3 more others electrical shops is quoting in the range of RM3000+ too.

i got fagor in puchong, original price was RM3698. they having promotion, n i managed to get it at RM2198 or 2188. it won't more than RM2200 as they 'lump' the discount amount together with other item i bought. this price include installation.

hope this info can help u.

[babysiew]

Mickey, wat personal reason? mind to share? is fotile very bad based on ur experience?

Jac, we just need to quote the model and the kepong branch just do the delivery... payment made at ipoh...

[Mickey Mouse]

Dear bb siew,

it was not bad experience. for long term wise, the design of the parts lead us some unnecessary cleaniness and maintenance problem.

very hard for me to explain here, i think i'll drop you an email.

[jacqline]

erm.. mickey.. mind to share with me too?

[Mickey Mouse]

Jacqline,

actually is my hubby experience and his comment. I'm doing the price checking, he's doing all the QA QC thing. esp we want to get things for long term usage.

my hubby had been changing a number of hub (due to several reasons). if i'm not mistaken, he changed 4 type of hub b4. different brands (i can't recall) and when we was at looking at Fortile hub, in fact i was not with him. he's the one doing the checking n ended up he decided not to take it. as the design of the hub.

he prefer the fagor becoz of the 'consealed' design at that portion where the fire come out. those other brand we seen, either those 'part' can be seperable, n some have gap at the bottom where by food or soup can easily leak down n to wash it, you have to 'detached' n 're-install'. after few times of installing, the burner instead of 'blue' fire coming out, 'yellow' fire come out.

beside that, some of those burner, in between, they come with 'ring'. the ring will after a period of time, will expand, n it will no longer fit.

that's his point of view n the decision we made to buy fagor. Hopefully this consealed design can solve those issues my hubby faced b4. that's the best i can explain over here.

it's just our point of view. who knows fagor will cause problem in long tem (touched wood)

[jacqline]

oic. tat's another part tat we have to concen about but since no exp we have never thought about it b4.. pai seh.. thx for enlighten me..

[babysiew]

have anyone try using the stainless steel domino series of fotile hob ar? i like it la... quite pricey...

[peipei]

We went to Xam-Max Kitchen yesterday and they quoted us Fagor hood and hob set for RM1999. The hob has 3 burners and the hood has suction power of 800. Is this price reasonable?

Then their price for Teka hood and hob is RM2830. Teka hob has 2 burners and hood has suction power of up to 1200.

These prices are inclusive of delivery and installation.
