Hello!

Thank you for yr nice comment.

No, the Rinnai Ceran glasstop is fine - no scratches, no damages and it looks as good as new. I wipe off all residues and spills regularly. If I don't the spills will harden and stick over time, making removal more difficult later.

The only item that is not in good condition is the protective burner tray, one beneath each flame ring. The tray is now corroded due to rust.

I will enquire buying new replacement trays from the agent when it is time to replace.

BTW, if you like my blog please spread the news, ok?

Yr invaluable support is much appreciated.

Yes, after exhaustive testing, I have more or less come to a conclusion on an excellent method (in my view) to embed an independent vid player on blogs, given the complexities of cross-browser inconsistencies, interactions, etc.

Hey, I believe the article below may throw some light on your question:

http://renovation-greencoal.blogspot.com/2008/04/blanco-silgranit_3405.html

You could also find more info from kitchen ads displayed by Google on the blog - usually these ads are more focused and directed than a general search on the Net.

Well, you seem keen to get the Blanco sink. Some ppl don't mind the issues pointed out on this post as they felt it's just part of the daily washing-up routine.

If you need further info pl let me know.

All the best

2012-02-09T12:36:56.419+08:00

Well, would you be able to point me to more reviews on this sink? I too want to ensure that the sink maintains it's 'good' looks.
But if it stains as you mentioned, then I have to think twice.

However, I got a response from a poster in renotalk.com, who said that there are no 'stain' problems even after 5 years of use (but he's using another color other than black)

2012-02-09T09:59:40.338+08:00

Yes, I do but am busy with shunphoto.blogspot.com, one of several blogs I'm busy with. Stains are a problem for this sink, note other users in US have reported it too. You're right, powders such as Cip stick to the composite material. I use a hard bristle brush to clean the sink once a week and that takes care of the problem for a week. If the 2 issues don't worry you, then this sink is -in my view - good value for money. But, as stated, I won't buy it again. Too much work for me in maintaining its clean look! * grin *

Hey, I dont know if you are still actively updating your blog.
But if you read this, I'm interested to know about the Blanco sink. Could it be that the cloudy stains appear because you used metal scourers or abbrassive cleaning agents (i.e. CIF) when cleaning your sink EVERYTIME? Because this sink is made of composite material, it might be more prone to such items that eat into the surface. If that might be the source of the problem, then I would still get this sink and make sure to clean it gently with soap.

I'm sorry - I'm unable to advise on Rinnai hoods because I didn't look closely at them. Their hoods didn't have any standout feature like the Fujioh FX-900. In fact nearly 4 yrs on I am still impressed with the Fujioh FX-900 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good and competent cooker hood.

Pl read my new post on "How to Choose: Cooker Hood" for fuller advice.

Thank you!

Hi,

Would like to know if you have came across reviews on the below rinnai hood ?

1) RH991CT

Cracking my head if i want to get either rinnai (the above 3 model) or fujioh FX900.

Your advise will be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks!

Hi Lester,

Thank you! Your query reminds me to post a review of the Kris Dish Drainer rack, which has now been completed in response to your question.

Yes, my Kris dish drainer rack has been rust-free for the past 3 yrs since installation and usage.

However I had a minor issue - the separate drainage steel trays to catch water dripping from freshly washed plates placed on the rack showed rust stains within weeks of installation! *aarrgghh*

If you're still looking to buy, my full review gives info on how to choose really rust-resistant stainless steel products.

2011-07-14T13:59:38.123+08:00

I assume the worktop currently uses an electric hob and you want to switch to using LPG cylinder gas, right? If that's the case the easiest solution is to engage a kitchen installer - he'll drill the holes thro' the back of the cabinet below the hob to connect to the LPG cylinder, assuming you have made provision for storage space for the LPG cylinder below the worktop.

If you're thinking of d-i-y, pl don't! There have been reports of LPG cylinder gas explosions in the home kitchen due to gas leakages as a result of faulty pipe connections. This is something you should not be thinking of d-i-y! In fact, if I'm not wrong, the law requires a licensed guy to do the gas connection and installation now. You should ask the staff at SP Services before you undertake any modification.

Hi Azlie,

Thanks for yr comments!

Am not sure what you meant by "box for reno quote"? Would you care to elaborate?

On the reno quote, odd that you should mention it. In fact, 1-2 good and experienced IDs are discussing with me on being featured, provided they are able to provide assurance of good design, workmanship and quality to customers who engage their services.

On a related topic, a talented ID has agreed to showcase her 3D-designs, with her comments, on the blog for the benefit of our readers. Watch out for it!
