Had been looking for a rear-vented model for a long time before I found this one. Arrived well packaged with two years parts and labour guarantee. Generally well made but the metal is a bit thin and tinny - not up to the usual Bosch standard in my opinion. It can be wall mounted or attached under a cupboard with all the necessary fixings included. The lights (2 bulbs) are bright white and more than adequate to illuminate the hob, I could actually turn off the kitchen main lights and still see to cook. The fan. I agree with other user comments that it is excessively noisy on number 3 setting, making normal conversation impossible within close proximity to it, however number 1 and 2 are a easier on the ear and cope well with steam removal even with three pans on the go. Overall, I would buy this cooker hood again as it fits my requirement to vent from the rear straight outside.
