When I renovated the house for the first time, I had no experience, and after listening to the words of the renovation company, I installed an integrated stove at home. It was really easy to use at first, with a good smoke absorption effect, which is suitable for families who often cook at home. But after using it for 3 years, I just regretted it, there were more and more shortcomings, and finally I spent a lot of money to replace it with a split stove.
Next, I will tell you about the shortcomings of 5 integrated stoves, which make it difficult for me to bear.
First, the function of chicken ribs
The integrated stove functions of my home include steaming, grilling, disinfection, range hood, gas stove, all functions are available, but some functions are rarely used. The integrated stove is expensive, the noise is so loud, there is no fume, but the taste will still be there, the integration of steaming and baking is not used at all, and it is rare to use it once a year. Spending so much money, but having a lot of features that are not commonly used, is really not cost-effective.
Second, it is not easy to clean up
The integrated stove is difficult to clean and clean, and it costs 500 yuan to hire someone to clean it up, and it has to be disassembled in many places. Next time the decoration is better to buy a cheap split stove, easy to take care of, you can clean up the oil stains yourself.
The integrated stove is difficult to clean after a long time, and it is necessary to pull out the whole integrated stove to clean it!It is more convenient to have a top range hood.
3. It's inconvenient to cook
The integrated stove has been used for 3 years, regret, I can only say that the effect of oil smoke is very good for about 1 year, and the effect of oil smoke is not so good after a year, and it needs to be cleaned every year. I said that the biggest problem with an integrated stove is that the pot is a little away from the stove, and it will not smoke, such as pouring vegetables and washing the pot.
Another point is that I like to flip the pot when stir-frying, and the integrated stove can't flip the spoon, it will touch the pot. The integrated stove is not suitable for stir-frying.
Fourth, the maintenance cost is high
Because the integrated stove has many functions, this highly integrated product, its failure rate will be greatly improved, and the maintenance cost will also be greatly increased. No matter how bad it is, the integrated stove must be disassembled, and it is too troublesome to maintain.
Fifth, take up space
The integrated stove is the lower smoke exhaust, and the general smoke exhaust pipe will pass through the base cabinet, so that the space utilization rate of the base cabinet becomes low. Although it saves the space of the wall cabinet, it takes up the space of the base cabinet, and in fact, it does not save much space. I think the integrated stove is more wasteful of space, because the base cabinet in the kitchen is more commonly used than the wall cabinet.
The integrated stove is a good smoke absorption effect, but it is expensive and impractical, and there are many shortcomings. I suggest that you buy a split stove, which is cheap and practical.
