Top Kitchen Hobs & Chimney combos:

I will now begin with the detailed review.

Selecting Kitchen Hobs:

Selecting an In-built kitchen hob is relatively easy. You just need to factor in two things while selecting a product.

• Size of your kitchen. Make sure you read the amount of space required on your kitchen platform to install a particular hob before buying it. I also suggest, you mark the exact spot with a tape and have a look at how much space with the hob take.
• Amount of cooking you would be doing and the number of family members in your home. (Do factor in your need a few years down the line too). This will help you determine the number of gas burners you need.

Important – If you are planning to buy a regular gas stove. Refer my article on Best Gas Stoves in India to make your purchase decision.

 

Shortlisting a Kitchen Chimney:

Selecting a kitchen chimney is a bit more tricky simply because there are too many different options in terms of technology.

So instead of explaining all the technologies available on the market, I will simply suggest the best options which will work best for most Indian kitchens.

Don’t worry, While recommending the products, I will also be discussing why I choose this type, size of chimney etc. This will help you make your own decision.

 

1. Elica Chimney WD-HAC TOUCH BF-90 & Hob MFC 4B 60 MT

Chimneys usually come in either 60 cms or 90 cms size. This chimney by Elica is of 90 cms size. The bigger size helps cover a larger area above your gas hob. This helps the chimney to effectively absorb all the smoke and oil from the cooking easily.

The suction capacity of this chimney is really good at 1200 m3/hr. This suction capacity is enough to handle smoke that comes out while frying etc.

Both these products operate really well together. The 90 cm chimney has a span wide enough to cover the entire hob with ease.

 

Features of Elica Hob MFC 4B 60 MT:

• Uses brass burners of varied sizes. Two of the burners have a dual ring, one regular burner and one mini burner
• The hob has a premium black finish with toughened glass
• Has a multi-flame control system which allows you to cook your food at your own speed
• Uses high-quality metallic knobs
• Auto-ignition system

Note – Do make sure you have enough space around the hob for installation. Check this before you order the product. If you don’t have enough space, opt for the smaller three burner gas hob. You will also need to pay extra for installation.

 

Features of Elica Chimney WD-HAC TOUCH BF-90

• A powerful suction capacity of 1200 m3/hr

2. Faber Chimney Tratto Plus & HCT 753 CRS LBR EI

Faber and Elica are two of India’s leading brands when you think of Kitchen chimneys and hobs. It is hence very obvious that Faber is the second name on this list of Best Kitchen Hob and Chimney combos.

The Faber hob that I have chosen has three burners and is ideal for most small families in India. The Chimney also accordingly is a bit smaller compared to the one I chose above and has a span of 60 cms.

A 60 cms chimney is generally good for a two or three burner hob. However, if you prefer a lot of frying in your home, you can opt for a more powerful chimney with 90 cms span.

 

Key Features of Faber Hob –HCT 753 CRS LBR EI:

• Three burner hob with the burners being made using high-quality brass

3. Bosch Serie 2 Hob & DWB09W851I Chimney Combo

Bosch is known to provide quality products at an amazing price. The same is true for their hobs and chimneys as well.

I must admit, they are yet not very popular in this category. Their service still might not be top notch in every city across India. However, their products are worth going through that initial pain for a few days.
