Hi All,
I had previously posted on kitchen appliances and was able to get the information for most of them. I am now undecided on the rangehood so creating a separate post for it. I am going with an on-board motor with a wall ducting as my rangehood will be close to the external wall. I also wanted baffle filters so I have narrowed down to the following options:
- Whispair X3MD09S5.OP/B (On Board Power 1020m3/hr Rear Ducted) - $1512
- Whispair X3MD09S6.OU/B (On Board Ultra 1680m3/hr Rear Ducted) - $1992
- Sirius SL906-L 850 (850mm onboard undermount rangehood 1020m3/h) - $1576
- Sirius SL906-L EXCEL 850 (850mm twin-motor onboard undermount rangehood 2000m3/h) - $1915
When I checked with Whispair, they mentioned that the rear ducted already comes with the wall ducting so I do not need to get anything else. Also, Whispair is currently having a 20% off which finishes on Monday 22 Nov 21 (the prices I have quoted is after discount). On the other hand with Sirius, right now there is an offer with Winning Appliances where if you buy the rangehood, you get the Sirius ducting for free. This offer finishes on 31 Dec 21.
Two questions:
1. Should I choose Whispair or Sirius? Whispair is offering 5 yrs warranty while Sirius will be 6 yrs as we are getting the ducting free. Whispair has lifetime warranty for the electronic parts and their Ultra motor is an electronic motor.
2. Is it worth going for the higher "power" motor given the fact that our cooking is more suited to Asian/Indian style so the smell normally lingers a bit after the cooking (atleast that is the case in our current place).
I need to decide by Monday morning at the latest (as I am not sure when would the next Whispair offer come by if I have to go ahead with Whispair) so appreciate any help here.
Thanks in advance.
