Full details →Who the Elica 60cm 1200 m³/hr Filterless Auto-Clean Kitchen Chimney is for
Buy it if: Apartment kitchens with a 60 cm hob and regular frying or tempering, where mesh filters clog quickly.
Avoid it if: Large or open kitchens, and heavy commercial-style cooking, which need 1400 m³/hr or more and a 90 cm width.
Who the Blue Star Bottom Loading Water Dispenser is for
Buy it if: Homes and small offices getting through a 20 litre bottle regularly who want both hot and genuinely cold water.
Avoid it if: Anyone who thinks this purifies water -- it does not filter anything at all.
