Faber Primus Plus Energy 60cm Chimney Review: Under ₹15,000

4.0(1,000 reviews)

The Faber Primus Plus Energy matches the Hindware Nadia's 1500 m3/hr suction while adding unique features like an auto clean alarm that reminds you when maintenance is due and a mood light that doubles as ambient kitchen illumination. The 12-year motor warranty from Faber sits between their entry-level 8-year and Elica's premium 15-year coverage, reflecting the premium motor quality.

These extra touches target buyers who want top-tier performance with thoughtful convenience additions.

Decision Snapshot

The verdict, who it fits, and where to think twice — before you scroll the deep review.

Our Verdict

The Faber Primus Plus Energy delivers 1500 m3/hr suction matching the Hindware Nadia with bonus features like auto clean alarm and mood lighting at the top of the Rs 15,000 budget, backed by a 12-year motor warranty.

The trade-off is premium pricing near the Rs 15,000 ceiling, and features like mood light may feel unnecessary to practical buyers focused purely on performance.

Best For

Premium-seeking buyers who want maximum 1500 m3/hr suction combined with smart maintenance reminders and ambient kitchen lighting from a trusted Italian brand.

Watch Outs

Value-focused buyers who would rather save Rs 2,000-3,000 by choosing the Faber Mojito or Glen Senza for the same core auto clean functionality.

Editor's Take

What it's actually like to live with

The Faber Primus Plus is where Faber puts everything they have into a single chimney - and the result is impressive but comes at a cost. The 1500 m3/hr suction matches the Hindware Nadia's raw power, so heavy Indian cooking is handled without compromise.

The auto clean alarm is genuinely useful because most people forget maintenance until the chimney starts underperforming - this reminder system actually extends the chimney's effective life. The mood light is a nice touch for modern kitchens but honestly not a reason to buy this over cheaper alternatives.

Where this chimney earns its price is the combination of Faber's 12-year motor warranty and their established service network across India. In reality, you are paying Rs 13,000-15,000 for a chimney that could just as easily cost Rs 18,000-20,000 from European brands at similar specs.

The honest question is whether you need 1500 m3/hr suction - if your kitchen is standard and cooking is moderate, the Faber Mojito at Rs 11,000 does the job equally well.

But for those who cook heavy and want the best Faber offers, this delivers.
