₹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.

₹12,990
Two specifications separate this from the cheap dispensers it sits beside.
Full details →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 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.
