The Faber Agile is designed for people who do a fair amount of cooking at home and want strong smoke and oil removal. Its curved shape gives the chimney a slightly different look from the usual straight designs. The built-in oil collector is particularly useful during oily cooking because the collected oil has a separate place instead of spreading around the internal area. The chimney also has Auto Clean, which helps with the residue produced during cooking. Touch and gesture controls give users an easier way to operate it while working at the stove. The BLDC motor is another feature aimed at regular use, and the long motor warranty adds some reassurance.

Pros:

  • The oil collector makes it easier to deal with the oil that gets pulled into the chimney during cooking.
  • Auto Clean reduces some of the regular cleaning work that comes with cooking oily food.
  • Gesture control is handy when your hands are wet or covered while preparing food.
  • The curved design gives the chimney a neat appearance without looking too bulky.
  • The long motor warranty is useful for people planning to keep the chimney for several years.

Cons:

  • A 60cm chimney may not be the right size for a large or extra-wide cooktop.
  • The oil collector needs to be emptied and cleaned once it collects enough oil.
  • Auto Clean does not mean the entire chimney can be left without manual cleaning.
  • Gesture controls may sometimes need a little practice before they feel natural.
  • The chimney can still make some noise when used at higher suction levels.

Best For:

The Faber Agile can be a good fit for a home where cooking involves a lot of frying, tadka and oily dishes. The built-in oil collector is one of its more useful features because it makes dealing with collected oil simpler. Auto Clean is also helpful for regular maintenance, although the visible parts will still need an occasional wipe. The touch and gesture controls make it convenient to use while cooking, and the curved shape gives it a clean appearance above the stove. It is especially suitable for users who want a chimney that focuses on everyday cooking needs without making maintenance unnecessarily difficult.
