We just bought a new rangehood for our kitchen today. We went to about 15 different shops and looked at everything, end in the end decided the cheaper ones are nearly as good as the brand names. We picked up a 900mm stainless steel and glass made by robinhood for $399 on special (ticket price around $600). It wasn't too noisy and vents up to 700m3/hr. Hubby would have liked one that sucked more but we would rather spend on other appliances, we don't have much of a fan now and we cope fine (although we do have duceted air cond and keep windows open most of the time, which I'm sure helps). We will also get the ducting kit to vent thru the roof, these are ticketed at about $200. good luck with your search!

I'm not 100% sure if I will have a slideout or glass, although the latter would have to be white/glass which seem to be quite expensive. Thanks Re: What to look for when buying canopy rangehood 13Jan 01, 2010 10:04 am Slideouts and flat bottomed ranges have less extraction efficiency. See this article on the technical aspects of rangehood design: COMMERCIAL KITCHEN VENTILATION DESIGN Re: What to look for when buying canopy rangehood 14Jan 01, 2010 3:18 pm HappyCamper - from Harvey Norman Osborne Park WA. It was the Robinhood RHCV9G model, on a 'one day only' special of $399. We went across the road to the HN seconds place, and they were there for $479! Everywhere else the ticket price is about $600. We also got a pryolitic oven ex display at over 50% off. The guy said they are re-doing the display to have the biggest in WA, so they want to get rid of everything before the cabinetmakers arrive. We haven't even ordered our new kitchen yet! But they seemed like such good bargains we couldn't resist. Just the cooktop and dishwasher to go..

Might pop in tomorrow if I can grab a bargain!

Def worth a ring if you are after something in particular or a visit if you're not too far away. We are also after an induction cooktop but they had mainly gas and ceramic ones on display.

Might go down and have a look anyway. Only after a rangehood but I have heaps of time for that. Cheers!

Totally understand not wanting to pass up a good bargain, I did exactly the same with my kitchen appliances then unfortunately the land deal fell through, but they are still in the garage patiently waiting!! LOL Not sure if you have 'Seconds World' in the west but I got my dishwasher for half new price at one of their Sydney stores. Thanks again for your helpful info. Bronwyn Canopy and Undermount are best, and need to be ducted externally. Which one you go with will be largely determined by your design and joinery choices. What you should be… 1 1327 Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers. I tried… 0 6715 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11812 |
