    No news from them, called them and said the parts still on its way from Italy. Thought they should at least call me to update instead of me waiting and waiting. Their reason for not calling back is because the parts has not arrived yet, even though they promised that they are going to come and fix it this week. What good service. Sigh!

    Anyone using SMEG Hob? Anyone has any issues or problems? I have one currently and has been encountering a lot of problems lately. Was told by the various maintenance guys who came to fix the problem that seemed like I am the only one with problem. Sigh. Came to fix a few times already but problem getting bigger and bigger, not only popping, for one of the burner the fire actually gets extinguish by itself after a loud exploding sound after on for a short while. It used to be a much bigger flame after the exploding sound. My gas utilisation seemed to have also increased by 3-4 times as the flame was really strong (still waiting for next 2 month's bill to conclude), not sure if its related as this is the only new thing i have added. Anyway, was told that all problems will definitely be fixed by replacing the nozels from Italy, but since they need to order, so need to wait. :(

    Would appreciate feedbacks from other users and advice.

    Hi, sorry for this late reply. Hope my answer is still of use to you.

    Instead of cutting a hole in glass, we cut a hole in the acrylic to slot in the fan. After the hole is cut, they put the fan into the acrylic pane, and then out the acrylic back into the frame. My mosquito net is a magnetic one. It still sticks onto the window frame, cos there's enough allowance for the fan to stick out from the acrylic. The prob is that the wiring from the fan creates an opening as the net can't close over the wire. I didn't realize that earlier.

    So we have to be careful and make sure we manually close the cover when we turn off the fan or the mozzies will still fly in. On second thoughts, should have just chosen the more ex ones with auto shutters. More convenient, and we don't have to worry about the mozzies flying in if we forget to close the shutter.

    I'm not v good with embedding pics so if you really need a pic, I'll see what I can do.

    Hi Meemee,

    Thanks for the reply! do u have Hwa Kwong's contact or addr? so if i use an auto shutter fan, i should not need the mosquito net anymore right?

    hi,

    i am new here and need KM's advice. After reading all the threads..i am inclined to buy:

    1) Brandt FE811XS1 (selling S$899 at H/N)

    2) Brandt FP867XS1 (selling S$1899 at H/N)

    then saw this brand at centrepoint:

    3) Blomberg 9790X (now offer S$2038)

    obviously when price is concerned, option1 is only the choice. However, if i decide to buy option2, then shd also consider option3 as it seems to have more functions than Brandt? (e.g.

    Blomberg:

    64L oven cavity

    interior lighting with 2 square halogen lamps

    No rotisserie (but there is turnspit function, what is the diff?)

    15A

    14 cooking functions

    electronic touch control

    3-level telescopic racks

    Brandt:

    54L oven cavity

    interior lighting with 1 bulb

    has rotisserie

    16A

    10 cooking functions

    rotary knob control

    can KM advise? i am new in baking but intend to bake a lot in future...not just cakes..but also casseroles, grilling etc. so is option1 good enough?

    many thanks in advance!
