Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Some 2 years back I bought Eureka Forbes Trendy Steel Vacuum Cleaner, It has very low suction from the time I bought it. Earlier I thought that it was normal but a 2 days ago I tried my friends same vacuum cleaner and it had alot more suction. Now, I took it to the Eureka SC and they said that the rubber gasket that seals the suction box is missing. It has been 3 months and they have still got the same reply that the part is missing. ![]() |

| ![]() In my opinion it is always better to have a mains stabilizer in areas with frequent power fluctuation to safeguard against electronic component failure, too much fluctuation will always kill the compressor or loosen the nuts leading to noise and gas leakage as well.

| ![]() Hi, Sparr(or aushaan like it is called now) is selling some "branded" induction cooktop/stove for 1025rs - today's newspaper. I am interested in buying it, but have no clue of what to look for in it before buying it. The prestige shop near by too has these stoves and the price ranges from 3k to 4k (with some offer now). Upon asking, the prestige guy said they are all the same, but just some different models (with same power rating, same functionality, similar buttons/combinations/modes provided, same size etc). What is the difference between this 1k priced model to the other 2k worth models from kenstar etc to the 4k-5k priced models from prestige and others? So, can people who know more about these induction cooktops or have researched about them comment here on what are the features (and their benefits/value) we should look for in them? PS: with LPG rationing, I guess we need to have alternate arrangements/backup system for which this induction stove seems ideal according to me. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Electricity is expensive, hence the popularity of Gas. In my estimate at today's rates - Rs.7/unit and Rs.1100 per cylinder, gas is at least three times cheaper. So in my opinion it is better to pay more for gas rather than switch to electricity for cooking. |

Another popular choice is Servo (At the whole house level), these are more efficient than stabilizers but cost (Initial investment) on the higher side as well. | |

Dont know how reliable the quantity of contents are as many times the cylinders are leaking gas too. Most rude behaviour from the delivery guys also. In such a situation, would rather use more of electricity than gas as its a painful experience & complete waste of time. | |

| ![]() Not sure about this. A 14.2 kg cylinder is equivalent to about 182 units of electricity. At Rs. 7/unit, this works out to about Rs. 1275. With Induction cooker being a more efficient method of cooking, I think it may be cheaper to use Induction cooker compared to using cylinders at Rs. 1100. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Our Whirlpool Top loading Washing maching is showing the signs of ageing, hence decided to replace it with a new one. Me and wifey are at loggerheads whether it should be front or top loadding with me opting for the latter. Visited a few retail stores in Thane and was impressed with the LG front loading model F8068LDP. The Kohinoor guys offered us 21.5K with exchange of old machine whereas Reliance offer was 22.7K. No other Diwali gifts just the machines. Vijay Sales for no reasons offered does not stock LG products as it is against the co policy. ![]() The LG suits the purpose, wifey pretty much impressed with the glib talk of the salesman, but am still to confirm the buy. Anybody using the model can share the experience. |

| ![]() I am keen to buy a 3 burner HOB (stove) for the kitchen. Have looked at Sleek, Elica and Hindware and will be checking Glen & Faber in a couple of days. Need help in picking a 3 burner HOB which is not very expensive at the same time hassle / maintenance free. A friend of mine has told me that these Hobs' when installed in the kitchen (after cutting the granite / marble in the kitchen) gives a lot of problems. Grime, water contact ruins the rubber beading that is underneath the toughend glass and spoils or corrodes the aluminium or iron casing. Plus one runs the risk of cutting the granite which has then to be replaced with a same size HOB incase you intend changing the HOB in the near future. His suggestion therefore was to buy a HOB which has legs (thereby not having to cut granite and affix the HOB) Do share your experiences about HOBs since most of the members would be using one or have used one. If you can also include your feedback on the chimney's would be the icing on the cake ![]() |

| ![]() Hey, I have been using the same model since last year. Happy with the performance so far. I got it for 19,500 without exchange, has the price gone up since then. The LG website is quoting 28,490 for it. |
