₹14,990
The sizing rule nobody explains at the showroom is that suction should be roughly ten times your kitchen's volume per hour -- 1200 suits a kitchen of about 20 cubic metres, and buying more than you need only adds noise.
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 Faber 60cm 1200 m3/hr Auto-Clean Chimney is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a kitchen around 20 cubic metres who can duct to an external wall.
Avoid it if: Anyone who cannot duct outside -- recirculating a chimney through a carbon filter removes very little Indian cooking smoke.
