Dear Friends If you think that you don’t a kitchen chimney if you don’t fry food, then you are wrong. According to all studies, the pollution inside the kitchen is more than it is outside.
The person who cooks is more
vulnerable to pollution and the solution is a chimney. Should you buy a chimney
with or without a filter? In this review, we will discuss that.
Friends, there are plenty of
options available in the market. Whoever cooks is the one most affected by
kitchen pollution. An exhaust can exhaust the kitchen but only after it is
polluted.
I divide the chimneys broadly
into 3 categories- 1) Mesh filters, 2) Baffle Filter and 3) Auto-Clean or
filterless chimneys. Mesh filters are not suitable for Indian cooking; therefore,
you must go for a baffle chimney or auto-clean chimney. Now I’ll you the brief
points.
The baffle filter comes in this shape
and is made of stainless steel. When air passes through it, oil residues stick
to the filter, and the air passes through it. You must clean it once in 3-4
weeks and it is a very good chimney as per Indian habits.
Air passes through a filter-less chimney very freely due to the lack of a filter. The air leaves behind the oil in the
chamber only. There is a coil in the chamber. When the coil is heated, it sucks
all the oil and collects it in the oil tray.
That tray can be easily cleaned and
washed, and you get a hassle-free and maintenance-free chimney. With 3 burners
one must use a 60cm chimney and for 5 or more burners 90cm chimney. The ideal
duct size should be 8ft to 12ft.
The chimney installation charges are
different varying from INR500 to INR1000. But the duct kit must be purchased
separately.
The ducting kit costs approx.
INR1500 whereas the installation charges will vary between INR2000-INR2500.Now we
discuss technical aspects of the best baffle chimneys in India in 2021.
Number
1 in Baffle chimneys is a Euro demo 60cm baffle filter chimney which has 1200m3/hr suction power. It comes in black color
with a tempered glass finish. It has baffle filter technology and heat auto clean
technology, which means the oil residue can be collected in the oil collector tray
by heating the chimney.
It has 2 LED lamps, 3-speed
motion sensors with a touch control panel, and an oil collector tray. We often
miss 1-2 points while choosing a chimney but not in this video. Its noise level
is 58dB. It weighs 15Kg. Its power consumption is 180W.
It comes with an installation
kit. You get a 1-year comprehensive warranty and 5 years warranty on the motor.
It costs INR10,000 + INR1800
installation charges. Now let’s talk about its pros. This is a good chimney
with an excellent auto-on feature and good gesture control. All in all, it is a
good chimney. But its noise levels are slightly high, but not very disturbing.
Number
2 in Baffle chimneys is Faber 90cm baffle filter chimney which has 1500m3/hr suction power. It has a curved
glass design. It has baffle filter technology and heat auto clean technology,
which means the oil residue can be collected in the oil collector tray by heating
the chimney.
This tray can be cleaned easily.
It has 2 LED lamps, 3-speed motion sensors with a touch control panel, and a gesture control feature. It also has an oil collector tray made of metal. Even
after 1500m3/hr suction power, its noise level is 52dB.
It weighs 15Kg. Its power
consumption is 180W. You get a 1-year comprehensive warranty and 5 years warranty
on the motor. In the box, you get a chimney and an installation kit. It costs
INR15,000 + INR1800 installation charges. Now let’s talk about its pros. The
installation team is very professional and thoroughly trained. The suction
capacity of this chimney is amazing- 1500m3/hr.
Despite that, the noise level is
just 52dB, which is very nice. But in some cities, the customer service support
of Faber is not good. Before buying the chimney, do check the services in your
city. The fun fact is that Euro demo is a Faber brand and therefore you get
Faber services for Euro demo chimneys.
Friends, now we will talk about
hassle-free chimneys- the filter-less chimney or the auto-clean chimneys.
Number 3
chimney in my list is Elica 90cm filter-less chimney which has 1200m3/hr
suction power. It has a curved glass design. It is a filter-less technology
chimney with heat auto clean technology, which means the oil residue can be
collected in an oil collector tray by heating the chimney.
It has 2 LED lamps, 3-speed motion sensors
with a touch control panel. It also has an oil collector tray. The noise levels
of filter-less chimneys are slightly higher than that of baffle filter
chimneys. Its noise level is 58dB, which is very good. It weighs approx. 15Kg.
Its power consumption is 180W. In
the box, you get a chimney and an installation kit. You get a 1-year comprehensive
warranty and 5 years warranty on the motor. It costs INR11,500 + INR1400
installation charges. The suction capacity is good with good installation and amazing
motion sensors.
But do check the service networks
along with the installation services before buying this chimney.
Number
2 chimney in my list is Hind ware 60cm filter-less chimney which has 1200m3/hr suction power. It has a curved
glass design. It is a filter-less technology chimney with thermal auto clean
technology, which is very good.
It has 2 LED lamps (generally you get only 1),
3-speed motion sensors with a touch control panel. It also has an oil collector
tray. Its noise level is 58dB. Its power consumption is 190W. Generally, all
chimneys consume power between 170W-190W.
It weighs approx. 15Kg. In the box, you get a
chimney and an installation kit. You get a 1-year comprehensive warranty and a
lifetime warranty on the motor, which is a marketing gimmick. It is only a 10-year
warranty and not a lifetime warranty.
It costs INR12,000 + INR1800
installation charges. It is a good chimney but it is slightly noisy. Its suction
capacity is good with good sensors. But the biggest con is Hind ware’s poor
installation services in most of the cities. Make sure you check its customer
services of appliances before buying it.
Number
1 chimney in my list is Faber 90cm filter-less chimney which has 1200m3/hr suction power. It has an amazing
black tempered glass finish, which gives a premium look. It is a filter-less
technology chimney with heat auto-clean technology.
The oil melts and gets collected

company. Its power consumption is 180W. It weighs approx. 15Kg. In the box, you

It costs INR15,000 + INR1800
installation charges. It is a good chimney with good gesture controls and good
touch controls and good suction. But I expected Faber to give 1500m3/hr suction
capacity in a 90cm chimney. All in all, it is a good suction capacity. But for a
greater suction capacity
