Noise level dBa (high) - 66.
Noise level dBa (low) - 59.

    Ta op, i have an old extraction fan on the ceiling.. And would want this installed, how do i go about this?? How can i cover the hole??

    • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 06:44

      Probably get a flue kit from masters or bunnings. Though I got someone to install mine for me.

        Thanks Op, do you know what is a typical installation cost for these.

        • cpho on 05/08/2016 - 08:08
          +5

          Not OP but around $100 for basic installation or up to $250 to get it ducted outside.

          Also, I wouldnt recommend these cheap ones if you do a lot of frying/ asian cooking.
          The motor isn't separately housed so oil will get into the motor, which kills the rangehood.
          And the thick filters aren't easy to clean, and really reduces the suction power

          @cpho: Agreed I bought a delonghi debeta60 during the last eBay click sale for about $450 from the good guys. It's suction power is apparently 1000sqm vs this which is 400sqm. It cost me $200 to get it ducted out of the side of house. The flue kit was $75 from masters.

        • Deal finder on 05/08/2016 - 09:38

          @Kaboda:

          is it ducted through a side wall or through the roof?

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 09:39

          @pash81: I ducted mine through the side wall and through to the back of house. As I am staying in a town house. Happy to provide you some photos if you want?

        • Deal finder on 05/08/2016 - 09:41

          @Kaboda:

          does the outside duct have to be undercover or can you just duct through a sidewall of a house?

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 10:07

          @pash81: Mine was through the side wall. Masters and Bunnings have a flue kit that has all you need just need to get the right dimensions from the exhaust outlet.

          @cpho: I have this current unit installed at my new house and I do a lot of asian cooking, but would like to have it ducted outside (as it currently just flows around the top cavity of the house apparently). Which trade is actually qualified to flue it to outside air, and is there a preference on whether it should go through the side wall or above the roof?

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 12:59

          @shopping4love: If you can in my opinion it's better to go through the roof. Mine was installed by the rental managements general tradie. Through the side of the house there is still a chance smells could still linger around, and if we don't shut the windows upstairs then it travels upstairs. Not sure what else we can do in a townhouse though that we are renting. Still its much much better than re circulation, having the smoke alarm go off and smells in your bedroom.

          Check out the Delonghi Debeta60. I choose it because of the suction power though there are reviews that complain about its reliablity, and its noisy.

        • fritzsticker on 05/08/2016 - 13:04

          @cpho: ido i need an electrician or just a handyman to install the rangehood?

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 13:06

          @fritzsticker: Don't need a sparkie if there is an existing power plug there. If you do you need on power point for the rangehood.

        • fritzsticker on 05/08/2016 - 13:07

          @Kaboda: wow that was the quickest reply that i got..

        • shopping4love on 05/08/2016 - 13:22

          @Kaboda: thanks Kaboda! I would like it to go through the roof, however I am afraid of the tradie doing a dodgy job and not sealing it all up properly, which will then lead to internal leakages from rain. Just unsure of which tradesperson would be best, and what the charges would be. I have a steel framed house so apparently it is more difficult getting across the roof cavity compared to a normal timber house… so many aspects to consider…

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 13:38

          @shopping4love: To be honest through the side wall has worked for us don't get me wrong it's 100 times better than the rubbish recirculation we had before. Just bare in mind shutting your upstairs windows and getting a higher extracting rangehood. If your in the Melbourne area I can recommend the guy we used.

        • Hellman109 on 05/08/2016 - 14:47

          Im pertty sure ducting into the roof is illegal in many places as you fill your roof space with flammable material over time.

        • cpho on 05/08/2016 - 16:26

          @shopping4love: As long as no work is done around electricity or the actual construction of the home, a handyman should be able to do it, but definitely check if they have experience with rangehoods. Its actually a lot harder than it looks.

          I also noticed you're in Adelaide too. I have a family member who specialises in rangehoods. If you're interested, send me a PM and I can give you contact details.

          In terms of roof vs wall, definately roof, otherwise it'll stink up wherever you exhaust it out to. Plus for these crappier cheaper models, a lot of oil isn't caught by the filters so that will get blown out too.

        sorry bit off topic but related…in a small apartment kitchen is it normal to have the range hood duct to simply hide inside the kitchen cabinet (above the rangehood) and hence all the smoke is sucked into the cabinet/wall cavity? (versus out the window?)

        • Kaboda on 05/08/2016 - 10:44

          Depends on the apartment. I am guessing most are recirculation. You can always ask the apartment body corporate and they should know.

          I'm in a townhouse and this is how mine is set up. I don't like it and it leads to buildup of oil/grease on the actual rangehood unit and the cupboards are also greasy.

        • fritzsticker on 05/08/2016 - 12:59

          @Kaboda: kaboda is right

        • cpho on 05/08/2016 - 16:36

          unfortunately this is common for apartments because you have nowhere to duct it out to (unless your rangehood is against a wall which allows you to duct outside)

        • homersyd on 05/08/2016 - 23:51

          thanks all :)

        • Kevan2 on 07/08/2016 - 10:50

          @MJM: try the madam lush approach. You will need to follow links.http://blahblahmagazine.com.au/squeaky-clean-kitchen/

          As for ducking the best bet is to get it outside over the eaves eithor wall or roof. The pipes are hidden behind kitchen wall cupboards. If in the wall it comes through the back of the unit. If you have a think about it you may find a way to have cleaning ports so at some time you may be able to reduce grace build up.
          For my home we also installed a whirley bird from roof into kitchen over oven area. We have a open/close vent for winter. It works for us living in Toowoomba.

    Why wouldn't Masters price match? Seems their price match policy is false advertising!

    • Maverick-au on 05/08/2016 - 09:10

      Why wouldn't Masters price match? Seems their price match policy is false advertising!

      Probably because like most prices match offers they won't sell if it's below cost. At least Masters are pretty good with the offer whereas Bunnings will rarely price match like recently they refused to match Masters selling Merbau decking for under $4 because it came from a different supplier!

      • summutha on 05/08/2016 - 15:18

        Although I hate to incite "fair trading rules" but…..

          2 x Fans. 2 x Filters. Recirculation - front or through cabinetry. Front recirculation requires fascia to be replaced.Clearance

          Note the word clearance and look at the Masters conditions….

          Products for price promise must be identical items and in stock, excludes trade quotes, commercial quantities and stock liquidations.

          Masters like most will not price match clearance or liquidation items.

    there is no details on fan pulling power for the Aldi Sterling… I like the slide feature of the Chef. Rangehoods can get in the way. Aldi has better aesthetic design. Aldi has better warranty also.

    Have a look at https://electroseconds.com.au/cooking-appliances/rangehoods/

    They are owned by Winning Appliances (which also owns Appliances Online). All ex-Display or units with minor cosmetic damage are sent to this place. You can often get steep discounts for units with have a minor scratch or dent.

    As for rangehoods, you'll want to get a powerful one, anything less than 700sqm is next to useless.

    If you're looking for a slide-out, get something like this: https://electroseconds.com.au/cooking-appliance/cooking/omeg… (It's a bit old-fashioned in design, but at that price you can't go wrong with it's functionality)

    I had mine done in a townhouse. Couldn't vent through roof but went sideways.
    We had an ikea recirc one with the kitchen, brand new which -did nothing-.
    Seriously it caused more harm than good by sucking the oil fumes higher up to the ceiling. Yes it reduced the smoke and oil, but any that was missed was even harder to clean.

    When i left it OFF, the oil would just hit the exhaust chassis, and easier to access surroundings, which was preferable lol.

    I highly recommend you guys look at alternative brands such as Meiya or pacifickitchenlife.
    They are medium priced 500-700 but imo perform as well as the 1k+ plus major brands. Mine was around 700 with the led light options. http://www.meiya.com.au/ax-series.html

    It is filterless and the oil drip tray is very easy to clean. I believe the fan etc are easily removable and most can even be dropped into the dishwasher!

    If you cook alot of stir frys etc its amazing. Apparently most aussies don't like them because they arent pretty - true. But hey, I actually use my kitchen to cook.

    If i had an investment property, I would definitely get one of these installed.

    • cpho on 05/08/2016 - 16:41

      +1 for Meiya and Pacific.
      Definitely the best two brands out on the market. We got the TM model for around $800, and it's been going strong for almost 15 years. Better than buying and installing a disposable one every couple years.

      THe cheap recirc ones literally do nothing except blow the smell of oil around your kitchen.

    • Maverick-au on 05/08/2016 - 17:23

      What reasonable person expects a rangehood to last only 2 years?

      What does this have to do with the deal? And what does the voluntary warranty have to do with anything?

      Should a $100 rangehood last longer then two years?
      Should a $1000 rangehood last longer then two years?
      It depends. Read the ACL so you actually understand what it's about.
