Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 06, 2021 10:10 pm We've had not so great experiences in the past with rangehoods, so would love to hear your recommendations. We were thinking a Schweingen rangehood but have hear the external motors are noisy? Also, our kitchen is in the centre of the home (with first floor above it), so not sure how the external motor would work? Thanks Re: Quiet Rangehood recommendations 2Mar 07, 2021 12:37 am I have a Bosch Series 6 pull out range-hood, and its barely louder than the induction cook-top and is completely fine for watching TV at the same-time. Then again I dont cook really smokey stuff so if you were using a cast iron pan with steaks you'd need to ramp it up. Otherwise I've seen Whispair roof mounted motor ones that are at least 10dB quieter but 3x the price. Re: Quiet Rangehood recommendations 4Mar 07, 2021 3:32 pm Weve previously has an asko undermount, and were pretty happy with it for the cost, we ordered the same one for our recent build but there was a 6month wait, so we were recommend to go the Bosch (AEG and Neff are exactly the same, compare them side by side, they come out of the same factory), we are pretty happy with the Bosch. Re: Quiet Rangehood recommendations 5Mar 09, 2021 8:21 am might want to consider what cooktop you are getting as well. We were told certain rangehoods work better with induction cooktops (re: your other post around all electric house) by the people at e&s. How much truth there is to it - unsure. Re: Quiet Rangehood recommendations 6Mar 09, 2021 4:09 pm Check out the Whirlpool forums: QASAIR gets recommended there, also perhaps check out external/remote fan mount (Falmec?). Price range for these two seem to be 2.5-3.5k for QASAIR and 1.5-2.5k for Falmec.

Is that the 86cm Bosch rangehood? We're getting the 90cm Bosch induction cooktop, but it bugs me that the rangehood is only 86cm lol. 2 4463 Agree! Simon is one of the good honest ones. His opinions are valid and I can see that he treats his client well and updated. Iām pretty sure his last build broke… 7 20143 Really tight at the top of the stairs- how to get furniture into those rooms? Study books - does anyone really use them these days? Large storage closet would be more functional. 2 4662 |
