    Extractor fan

    2/5
    Extractor fan works fine but the blue lights are really horrid and VERY difficult to change the bulbs so we don't turn them on they give me a headache!

    Bad product

    2/5
    The delivery was spot on, can’t fault the timing. However not happy with this product. Upon 2nd day of install the fans packed in. This is the second product I’ve ordered which is like for like. Only reason I ordered the same product was because I didn’t want different fittings and extra holes in the wall.

    My fitter did manage to fit, but had to drill new holes. I have to buy the carbon filter separately and it's not clear on how to fit it

    good replacement for old model

    the old style charcoal filters don't fit this modeld. Drill holes in a slightly different position as expected due to other reveiws. instructions implied the unit would sit on a bracket, but the unit is simply screwed straight to the wall.

    Good but not great

    3/5
    Like many other reviewers I bought this cooker hood because our previous Baumatic BECH90 had finally died after 13 years of loyal service. The new hood had to be the same size and shape because the previous owners had fitted the rest of their kitchen units around it, so this model was the only option. I had hoped to use the existing wall holes and cavity wall fixings so I was dismayed to discover that the manufacturers had moved them. Worse still they had only moved the new mounting holes about a centimetre further apart so after drilling they were so close to the old ones that they were weakened and began to crumble when the screws were tightened. I eventually had to drill out much bigger holes and use massive wall plugs with coach bolts to hang the thing. In the end it took about two hours to fit but at least it is never going to fall off. The general finish is good and the unit looks smart. I havent found the noise of the fan particularly loud even on the highest speed setting. The bulb lights on the old hood were always blowing and were fiddly to replace so I was quite impressed with the new fixed LED lights ......... until I turned them on. The old bulbs gave a warm and inviting light but the new ones give off a horrible harsh white light that makes everything look grey. I cant see any way to replace the LED fittings so I'm stuck with them. As other buyers have mentioned the fan inlets are configured for two circular charcoal filters which are not included in the box, so be prepared to fork out for some, and make absolutely sure they are compatible with the BECH90GL, there are lots of others which look the same but won't fit. The cheapest I found were just over £30 for the pair including delivery. All in all I really like the way the new cooker hood looks. It clears the steam (and sometimes smoke) from our cooker quickly and effectively. It could have scored a Five, but the fitting instructions are poorly translated from some other language and are completely useless. The LED lights are a terrible design choice and should be changed. The new mounting geometry should have been better thought out before production. The absence of charcoal filters is just penny pinching, for the price you pay they should be part of the package. So it scores Three. I just hope it lasts as long as the old one did.

    Instructions very poor

    No filter info, and no plug attached

    3/5
    We bought this to replace our old one, which stopped working. This one came with cable with wires exposed and no plug, also no filters included- and it does not say which ones exactly will fit, and ao don't sell them. I paid for the removal of the old one, i was at work but my builder was in so he told them to take it(otherwise they would have left it). I only bought it due to the shape, to avoid having to retile around it. The LED lights are much better than the old ones, but the fan is loud.

    Disappointed.

    3/5
    A little disappointed with this purchase. As a product it is effective at extraction, which is good, however the noise, while not particularly loud, sounds bery rough. The instructions that come with it for fitting are possibly the worst I have ever encountered and ultimately impossible to follow as suggested. In the end to fit the two piece chimney I had to resort to duct tape as the screw holes were impossible to access. The AO service, as ever was great but sadly the product not so.
