Auto-Clean vs Manual-Clean Chimney: The Real Cost in 2 Years

Indian cooking = oil, tadka, and smoke. Your chimney works hardest here. Manual-Clean Chimney: Looks cheap (₹8k-12k) but you need professional cleaning every 3 months (₹500-800 each time). Oil accumulates inside, suction drops 40% in 6 months. Auto-Clean Chimney: One button press, oil collects in a cup. Suction stays 90% even after 1 year. Cost: ₹15k-22k but zero maintenance cost for 18 months. Our Verdict for Bangalore families: If you cook 2+ times daily, Auto-Clean with 1200+ m3/hr suction is a must. For 2BHK kitchens in Bangalore, 60cm chimney is enough. For 3BHK with open kitchen, take 90cm.
