Editor's Take
What it's actually like to live with
If you have ever stood in a compact Mumbai or Bangalore kitchen wondering how a full-sized chimney is supposed to fit above your stove without blocking the upper cabinets, the Elica FL 600 SLIM was designed specifically for you. It solves a real problem that millions of Indian apartment dwellers face - limited wall space with no room for bulky appliances.
The slim profile is noticeably smaller than standard chimneys, yet the 1200 m3/hr suction handles regular Indian cooking adequately. The key word is adequately - do not expect it to handle heavy deep frying sessions where multiple items are being fried simultaneously. For daily dal, sabzi, rotis, and occasional frying, it works perfectly. Elica backs it with their excellent 10-year motor and 5-year comprehensive warranty, which is remarkable for a compact model.
The 4.2-star rating from 700+ buyers confirms that the slim form factor does not compromise reliability. Installation in tight spaces is easier too, which your installer will appreciate. At its price point, the only real question is whether 1200 m3/hr is enough for your cooking style.
If yes, this is the best compact chimney money can buy in India.
