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.

Who the Atomberg Renesa 1200mm BLDC Smart Ceiling Fan with Remote is for

Buy it if: Anyone running fans long hours, especially where mains voltage sags.

Avoid it if: Anyone using a fan occasionally -- the payback period stretches well beyond the warranty.
