TQ~ TaePong Home Renovations and Interior Design Mon, 07 Aug 2017 16:50:56 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4379175 I bet you all already knows that kitchen oily fume harms our health.<br /><br /> It is just like “smog in kitchen”. You cannot avoid air pollution outside, but you are able to take control of air quality of your home&#33;<br /><br /> Some still hasn’t bought range hood because of its high price, others are using it, but due to limited budget, they are using those less than RM 2000. One thing that can be for sure is that those below RM 1000 cannot absorb and eject oily smoke and smells efficiently. And their air pressure is low and that results in back flow of smoke. <br /><br /> Malaysian cuisine is based on stir frying. With ineffective range hood, even though you turn it on, you still have choked nose or smoky eyes. Those below RM 1000 do have advantage — low price. However, almost all high quality ones are over RM 2000. In the long run, a carefully-designed hood’s service life is 8-10 years, while that of ordinary ones is 3 years. Which one is better?<br />[attachmentid=9017191]<br />[attachmentid=9017212]<br /><br /> Are you sure you know how to select range hood?<br /><br /> Usually, ladies are the ones who cook meals. So first, get to know their complaints about ordinary range hood: unable to absorb and discharge fume effectively (choked nose, smoky eyes, cough), unable to remove disgusting oily smells (residual smells. Hair smells bad.), harms skin (yellowish dull skin). They are also unhappy about that they can’t do other things like listening to music and watching videos at the same time. Besides, low-suction range hood can result in the spreading of oily fume.<br />[attachmentid=9017147]<br /><br /><br /> So how to choose range hood? Let’s get started&#33; I divide it into five parts:<br /><br />1.Classification<br /> There are basically 3 types of range hood.<br /><br />① Chinese-styled Hood: old-fashioned version. It envelopes fume efficiently, but its suction power is quite low.<br />[attachmentid=9017165]<br /><br />② Western-styled Hood: This one also envelopes fume efficiently. But it is designed for Western cuisine, which produces little fume. So it hardly satisfies Malaysian cooking — stir frying mainly.<br />[attachmentid=9017167]<br /><br />③ Side Suction Hood: latest design. Motors are placed lower. And the range hood is more close to stove, so it can “attract” and absorb smoke greatly. Its design also protects your head from being hit by the range hood.<br />[attachmentid=9017158]<br /><br /> All in all, side suction hood is the icon. It absorbs and ejects fume and oily fume efficiently. And it suits Malaysian-styled cooking.<br /><br />2.Air flow. The Higher, The Better??<br /><br /> A majority of range hood are labeled with high air flow, but is it the higher, the better? Air exhaust pipe is like tap water pipe. What makes tap water functions is water tap, not water flow. So when you choose range hood, you need to take this into consideration: if the air exhaust process is smooth or not. if it is easy to block or not.<br /><br />(Instead of larger air flow, you should probably buy those whose air pressure is higher.)<br /><br />3.Cleaning<br /> After being used for a period of time, internal parts (such as fan) accumulate large amount of grease. Fan gradually loses balance, and it decreases smoke exhaust effectiveness, and makes louder noise. So, regular cleaning matters.<br /><br /> Auto cleaning is the latest technique. Methods includes 110℃ steam cleaning, “electrical heating” cleaning and water cleaning. The nature of auto cleaning is to dissolve greasy dirt. Leave your hands free&#33;<br /><br /> You probably would say that you can pay someone to come over and clean it. Well, auto cleaning definitely saves you additional cleaning fees.<br /><br />4.Noise<br />Choose those between 38dB-58dB.<br /><br /><br />These are basic points you need to take into account. What about Multi-functional range hood?<br /><br />5.Multi-function<br /><br /> Intelligent range hood is the fashion in modern kitchen.<br /><br />① Cooking Timer: Set time and range hood will be automatically turned off. Kindly recommend you to keep range hood on for another 3-5mins, because there is still some residual oily smoke after you finish cooking.<br /><br />② Wifi Cloud Intelligence: It is installed with computer system. After connecting with Wifi, you can watch online videos and listen to music (there’s a screen equipped on the range hood’s panel).<br /><br />③ Bluetooth: Range hood will automatically activate and begin to absorb fume as soon as you turn on stove.
