Not the easiest thing to assemble as the instructions are very poor. Necessary item to have if recirculating air is wanted for the extractor hob.

Ordered this item with the Elica induction hob. I found it really easy to install (charcoal filters can be a bit fiddly to insert into their slots). Having run the hob's extractor fan on multiple settings (between 1 to 4, then auto andpower modes), I can see the steam being sucked down and vented. Here's where the charcoal filters come into play. They do a very good job of cleansing the pungent aroma whilst cooking aromatic meals (curries, omelette, broccoli, etc). Although this kit can't compete with systems that vent externally, it does an excellent job of mitigating steam, condensation and cooking smells (ventilation is always required as the air is recirculated around the room, it is still necessary to open a window or two).

All the bits we need to connect it up, a bit unclear initially exactly which one we needed but got there in the end.

I haven’t had this kit fitted yet, but with regard to ordering and delivery, it was a breeze! I wanted the kit despatched with a couple of kitchen appliances that we’d ordered through Homebase when we purchased a kitchen. It was delivered as requested and on time. Excellent service.

Useful to have

Needed for the when you get the Hob with extractor, works great but wished that it mentions that this is needed.
