Was searching around for a decent hob&hood and the guys at Hoe Kee (IMM) introduced Straaten. However, I can't seem to find any of its products online or know of anyone here using this brand.

Most reviews are on Ballari, Fujioh, Rinnai, etc...

Tempted to get the Straaten hood as it actually looks quite good. Blackglass with touchscreen which matches the glass hob from Fujioh that we wanted. Price also lower than most of the hobs at Hoe Kee (less than $400).

Is this any good? Thats our main concern....

Please help.

The Straaten hood has no suction power. Only for display.

Ballari & Rinnai are recommended brand.

Thanks for the tip...the guy said that the Straaten hob has something like 1000 cubic meters/hr suction power. Just dunno how true cos there is just no specs that I can find on the net....geez.

American Appliance Ptc Ltd. is Maytag's agent in Southeast Asia, now we are looking for some potential suppliers to develop our own brand " Straaten".

We are looking for good quality Refrigerators, Laundrys, MicroWave Ovens, Vacuums, Hobs & Hoods and Small Home Appliance all over the world.

maybe this will be useful

When we were looking for washer, we saw the Straaten washer at Courts. Very cheap less then 400 for a 7.5KG one

We asked the Harvey Norman staff they dont carry it but they say its a Dutch brand but made in China. Maybe gotta check some dutch websites

Hood is not necessary lah.....

tell you the truth, 95% of owners buy it coz it looks nice only.....

Hood is quite useless to suck in smoke.

and another, when the hood suck in the smoke, where will the smoke go to? it will get get push out into the kitchen.... so what's the diff?

the filter in the hood is not doing any good in cleaning the smoke.

my advise: Do not buy Hoods......

agreed with you, i buy it because it is nice... so, i bought a cheaper range, just to satisfy the kitchen layout needs...

i heard that Mayer is having a warehouse sale this coming weekends, 21st - 23rd Aug, anyone interested to go down and take a look @ changi north way?

i am looking out more for hobs though. but i heard they do sell a range of products from Ariston to Delizia; ovens, hobs, hoods etc.
