Bizarre. The hood shipped with manual stating the glass plate could be tilted to horizontal and latched in place for maintenance, notably changing the grease filter. THIS HAS BEEN SWITCHED for ordinary hinges which do not lock. Consequently changing the filter now TWO-PERSON JOB unless you prop it up with your forehead or do it one-handed, fiddly job. I phoned Bosch and their CS Rep had no idea why the new model product has been made worse. VERY annoying and disappointing for Bosch who used to be reliably high-quality build and ease of use. Two Stars only because the hood sucks.

Cooker hood is everything I expected. It’s a Bosch of course. It looks good in my kitchen and does exactly what it should do reducing cooking odours. I wouldn’t purchase any other make. All of my appliances are Bosch.

Very good
