Hi I am based in mumbai, India.My architect suggested me to use Haffele Stella/ Nuvola ceiling hood. Can any one help me with its reviews. Whether such ceiling hoods work in indian conditions of cooking.

Hello , Although it is better you choose all the items based on respective items usage but when we have to be very sure of the quality and longevity we recommend Sharp. You can't go wrong with it on the parameters you listed assuming you stay in a metro. Bosch/Siemens/Phillips are good as well. If you are in Bangalore we can help you further on this. Please get in touch if you do. Thanks, Amit Cornerstone Designs

Hello Abhinaya, Siemens & Bosch make are better ones.. Thanks Amit Cornerstone Designs Bangalore

Please Read, 1) Following are the photos of my Mumbai apartment (10th floor) kitchen. Water heater and water purifier were already (haphazardly) installed by my contractor before I came to occupy the apartment. Answer : u can shift the purifier above sink , inside the cabinet which will be made by carpenter. 2) We now have to install cabinets above the counter. ( you can ) no problem. 3) I want to get the PNG gas pipes installed to replace the existing cylinders. Answer : This work you can do after carpentry work. 4) When I saw other homes it appears I not only need pipes but some ghastly looking meters/ valves etc. Answer : meter will be hidden inside above cabinet toward right side and pipes will be inside the hob side counter will transfer through the balcony wall to meter again. 1) The gas pipes will come from the wall next to the balcony doors. The sink is just next to this wall. Will it be possible to install the pipes and meters below the cooking counter or is that not practical? - - Don't know what are all the practical considerations. Safety, access to meter to take readings, location of the sink? ). everything is possible.. 2) If under the counter installation is not practical, where should the pipes and other boxes/meters go? as mentioned above.. 3) Is there any practical solution to clean up the wall with water purifier and heater? (please note the kitchen has a 6" thick beam on the top of the wall above the counter, also 6" think pillars one in the corner and the other large one near the microwave as shown. Additionally it has a protrusion on the ceiling, probably this houses the drain for the apartment above me. ( for above apartment kitchen nahani trap chamber it is... )
