Price history thanks to Pricehipster
At least we know the markup on Bunnings now.
We need a bunnings competitor.
Look how that worked out, Sam.
Schweigen are considered the best, but you better pony for $$$$ for a silent model
Yet to find a range hood that does what its supposed to.
Are you hooking up the exhaust to an outside area?
Yeah but admit a lot of the cooking is Asian.
We bought a Sirius rangehood at the recommendation of an installer. Cost about half the price of a Schweigen, which he said are actually largely made in China, whereas Sirius is made in Italy. The Sirius has its motor separate to the unit (motor is in the roof space), and is way quieter despite being way more powerful than these cheapies. Ours is 1200m3/h, which is adequate for Asian cooking. Ours came with baffle filters.
If you cook with a lot of oil, you'll need to clean the filters regularly. Otherwise they clog up and don't vent properly.
Other than that, I can't see how a range hood could fail to do its job - it's just a vent.
@Spam Service: I don't get your point. You stated "I can't see how a range hood could fail to do its job". Well, it can fail at its job if it has a weak motor. Which is why cheap rangehoods are rubbish if you do a lot of frying.
Are you in Melbourne, can you please share the installer details, I need to change mine but dunno anyone that can do it. Thanks
Can this unit hook up to exhaust to outside? Thanks
I'm pretty sure all vents do, as using the internal filter is always going to do very little.
Do the aluminium filters fit in the dishwasher?
Almost certainly
Missing the most important spec for a range hood - suction!
and d/B reading- leads me to think its 747 levels
No luck on the Aldi one though, don't know which joker wrote the manual, specs just say
"Extraction: Powerful extraction"
from the marketing team :p
source : trust me dude
Our new (old) house has what looks like an identical but different brand unit and I can’t say I’d recommend it. Design is dated. Fans are very very loud. 12vdc power supply for the lights was dead when we got it.
Not all rangehoods are made equal. For something that needs to be built into your house and roof, it's best not to cut cost. Cheap ones like this will cause issues, e.g.:
Our old one had all 3, and the oil kept leaking from the motor, though the filters, onto our cooktop. Did not have enough suction, and we could not hold a conversation when it was running. Our old and new one look almost the same, except the new one works and is manufactured properly. Don't judge a rangehood by its look - check for noise levels and suction
Wait… what?
Rangehoods are meant to suck up oil that would normally hit a person or a wall?
I feel like it would need a jet engine inside to make that happen…
Small oil particles which are airborne. Not talking about splashes of oil. That would be awesome, but would likely suck the food out of your pans and distribute it around the neighbourhood.
Don't forget to change the lights to LED (G4)
I tried that with ours - no success.
LED bulbs cannot handle high heat without melting, and in our case the enclosure was very small and got extremely hot inside. I went through 2 sets of (different model) G4 bulbs, both of which melted/burned. Only halogen can handle the heat inside the light enclosure for ours, and I suspect the same applies to other rangehoods. Be careful not to set your house on fire.
Does your rangehood have a cover for the lights?
I've changed mine to LED and never had an issue, it also would never get hot enough for it to be an issue due to the light cover.
Yes. For mine, the lights are in a dome-shaped enclosure with a glass cover. It gets hot because it is enclosed and the bulb generates heat, not from the heat of the stove.
What kind of bulbs were they?
Mine are 3W LED bulbs from bunnings and they run cool, like all LED's should.
@samfisher5986: I think about 5W. You must have the Phillips ones - they couldn't fit in my rangehood (larger than the original G4's). Phillips is always good - mine were Chinese ones not meant to be used in enclosed unit.
Note: If you are after charcaol filters for this model they are also available (to order) from Bunnings
hmmm, I suspect this product is the same, hence the price beat?
