If not, you can buy from chinese store la. We got ours from aberdeen. There are lots of 抽油煙機 to choose from. Different power levels to suit your need. 作者: stevoo 時間: 2012-10-11 11:53

my current hood fan is attached to a microwave. I planned to give up the microwave for a better hood fan. I don't really need a microwave anyway.作者: chocolatebean 時間: 2012-10-11 13:38

bought a Sakura 747-II during Xmas, works out to be a better performer than my original (came with da house) 727.
Suction is about 20% better, noise is just a tad lower. At least I get good service from Oshawa (some technical issues that the retailer didn't even bother to help) and from Oshawa's assigned technician.
Apparently, there's a Sakura subsidiary brand called Topline that can be obtained through certain certified installer.
I chose Sakura simply because of the following reasons:
(1) parts are readily avail in lower mainland.
(2) good warranty service from Oshawa
(3) still made in Taiwan.
Reasons I didn't choose others:
(1) Pacific - don't bother, waaay overpriced and made in Sino.
(2) Crown - poor quality and design (also made in Sino, in case you wonder), but quality is amost nil. No guarantee and no aftersales service, parts have to go through retailer and cannot guarantee availability.
For Crown, it looks the same as those readily sold on ePrey, but ePrey betters them local retailers at a fraction of the price...but no quality.
Don't bother with Cypress or Athens for they no longer sell or have retailer/distributor here...and the quality is sub-par (ask me why I know).

for those that got Sakura, do you get the free filter every year?
i notice the one from Hong Kong and USA got free filters sent out to them.作者: pkphilip 時間: 2013-1-8 01:26
I have 2 Sakura too, one important thing I will consider is the ease of taking the fan out when I want to clean the interior. I just got the model U211 last year and it works great.
I never believe those easy clean function that you spray some stuff in there and it will drip off, it doesn't work. Every time I wash it, I removed a lot of grease inside.
I will be looking for a 24" too for my new place and I will definitely consider Quest suggestion.
For the filter, I just buy those filter at home depot or any hardware store, then I cut it and put it where the fan is so that the grease get absorbed.
