Problems from start to eventual return. Be absolutely sure you want this before you purchase. Instructions are shockingly ambiguous - our experienced kitchen fitter struggled so much that he phoned the SMEH support line. They requested pictures of the cover plate which appears to be bent and won't for onto a flat surface. Eventually SMEG said they couldn't help (with one of their own products!) and suggested returning the item. If you're fitting to a standard depth wall unit then the fit is very tight and the cover plate exceeds the depth of the unit. Used the unit once without the cover plate and it dripped water onto the pans below continuously. There are no images of this product on the internet showing it installed. Buy something else.

The cooker hood came well packed and I found it easy to install. It is far more silent in operation than the one it replaced. My wife (hard to please!) is delighted with it. I fond it hard to understand why a previous reviewer complained that it was very hard to install! Installation was as easy as expected and should be for any remotely competent diy-er.

As yet the hood has not been installed. Delivery was prompt as promised.

looks as though it will do the job and at a reasonable price. Flexible can be used either recirculating or ducted. Smart and not too difficult to install Easy to order, website easy to navigate delivery quick and on time. 2 things to watch- the installation kit is inside the hood so don't panic when you don't see it on opening the box. Also you need to buy the filters separately and unfortunately AO don't sell them As we have a wider than average cooker its perfect for us However overall customer service from AO for us has always been impressive

Does what I expected, lovely and quiet. Slight difference in the lighting one bulb gives of a cream lighting whilst the other is brighter. Not too much of an issue.

Again, a great appliance. overall sound is much less than old one which is great. Moves plenty of air as we have it extracting outside. My only niggle is, that this isn't available in SS, so I had to go with silver

Great value for money

Spot on easy to fit and moves a lot of air, used solid rectangular ducting from Screwfix, converted to flex just above cabinet. Lamps may be a bit yellow, a doddle to replace with the white you require.
