Faber cook top CTX 230 AI : Very poor product
Faber (4 burner) stove

Actually I threw away the Faber and bought a 3 burner Pegion black glas top stove. It is working OK for about 9 months now. It is a non auto model, costed me Rs 4250/- . I specifically chose this becoz it had very thick guage for the bras-burner tops. What I did not like is the way the steel collect...or dish (which collects liquid spills)below the burner is kept. It had 2 nut+bolt making it difficult to remove. Normally we see these plates can be removed easily with no screws. I recently saw Prestige also, which looked good, the auto model costed Rs 7K+ Not sure how good this is.Read More
