Hello All,

I'm having a hard time choosing between these two kitchen hoods. Appreciate your expertise/opinion on this.

Faber STILO 90 LTW SUNZI

Seimens LC98BA521I

Both are in the near price range. Siemens is 24K INR and Faber is 21K INR.
I have heard very good things about Faber Kitchen Chimney Hood products , especially that it is great for Indian kitchens. Also want to give it weight because it is a Kitchen Hood Chimney speciality shop from 1955. But unfortunately in India, when I checked online, Faber hoods are being blasted for their very poor after sales service. The Sales person insists that it is a matter of the past and that now the Service is being handled by a new company and that the service is now very good. I'm in Hyderabad,India.

I have no idea regarding the Siemens Hood after sales service. I suppose the product will be of good quality because it is Siemens, I do have a little concern because the price is low and because it is supposed to be of a special Siemens budget range, even then I have belief that Siemens will give a quality product. Usually the Siemens hoods are in a much more expensive price range but this one is part of a budget series that is being targetted for the India market. If you go to the Siemens showroom, they will give you a small cardboard leaflet with the budget models.

Considering the factors of Quality of Product and After Sales Service, which do you think is a better buy?

Appreciate your responses.

cooker hoods are not complicated enough to require any serious thoughts about after sales or service. just go with what your heart desires. baffle filters can be easily cleaned at home and the extractor fans on 90cm hoods are quite reliable. and there's nothing else in a chimney apart from the housing. what else could go wrong?

i installed the hood in my house without any assistance from service guys... it's one of the least complicated appliances.

only feature that i can recommend is a timer function.

Hello Gaurav, Much thanks for reply. All that you say makes sense, would give the same gyan to others that ask me. Now I don't know why I gave it so much thought. Just got caught up in the usual 'Get the best thing for the Money mode'. Timer feature makes sense. Thanks.
