Cookology Downdraft Extractor Fan Glass & Recirculating Carbon Aluminium Filters in Silver - 60cm Width - Touch Control Panel - Easy to Fit Filters - Concealed in Worktop - Powerful Extraction Rate

I don’t normally write reviews however, when we had our new kitchen fitted the debate on extractor fans went on much longer than I expected! I didn’t really fancy one hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room but also couldn’t justify the £1000 for a hob with one built in. I came across this which seamed to be just what we needed. With little reviews it was hard to gauge how good the product is! Our options were to pay the extortionate amount for a different hob with one built in or take the risk and buy this! And I’m so glad we did! Reasonable price. Looks very stylish, easy to clean and has a good suction as you can see on the video it works well. Some reviews stated it was difficult to fit however our kitchen fitter didn’t have a problem. I can’t vouch for longevity but so far I am extremely pleased!

Great product, easy to use & excellent value for money why pay more!

Good value

Randomly wont go down every couple of months.

So I opted for this over a more conventional hanging one for a island unit. I felt it was needed to use a 900mm deep work top to comfortably get this and the hob fitted one in front of the other. In addition, I also needed to space the cupboards that were being placed on the opposite facing of that unit by an additional 400mm to accommodate the fan unit. As others have started in their reviews; the blower unit it perhaps the biggest consideration when installing this. We were fortunate that the island was being built from scratch so could accommodate design changes for the installation. Fitting aside, the unit looks good, and seems to work fine. It's not that great at pulling the vapours / steam from the front 2 rings, but it does pull some, the lights are nice and bright, and brightness, as with fan speed can be controlled. Regards the operation of the unit, we have 2 cats that, as I imagine with all house cats, treat the space with impunity, so it's not unusual to come down in the morning and find the unit in its on position and fan blowing after one of them has decided to sit on it (more specifically the on button) for long enough that it's popped up. We have witnessed this occur and there is some solace taken in the amusement of the cats shock when it does occur. Over all, it's a decent product for the price. Only time will tell how reliable it is.

I was so excited when I brought this extractor and thought it looked great with my new kitchen. It had really good suction although i would strongly recommend having it ducted outside rather than recirculating. Unfortunately, after having it installed for 1 year and 9 months and using it less than a handful of times a week it no longer raises up and therefore cannot be used. After contacting the seller they advised to put pressure on the unit which didnt work. As a result I'm left with an extractor less than 2 years old which doesn't work and a big hole in the middle of my quartz work top. Whilst great at first, I would strongly recommend you do NOT purchasing this extractor, especially if you have an expensive worktop you need to cut to accommodate it.

Crazy impressive for the money, looks very Impressive while its emerging from the worktop. The fan isn't that impressive though unfortunately unless your venting it outside. We had to use a 4" carbon filter with ducting within the confines of the kitchen island for this to work and filter out smells, doing so reduced it extracting power as the filter reduced air flow. Overall great product though.

This is a fab product and a great gadget to show guests as it’s quite quirky yet functional. I purchased this to go into our new kitchen island which didn’t have any external ventilation options. It was great they supplied a carbon filter free with it so it can work on recirculating mode. The fan part of the unit can be swapped to either side so that is really handy to ensure you can fill the space but make sure you read the dimensions carefully. One dimension I didn’t see on the listing was the extractor outlet hose which was 150mm circular. If you want to use a standard 100mm duct hose you will need to buy a reducer to put on first. Overall it is fantastic and great value for money!
