Now I have bought the charcoal filters it appears to be working perfectly. I was aware that the filters are not included but could I suggest AO put a list of sockists in with packaging making the stressful process of installing the extractor ( novice ) a little less fraught.

Very nice looking and extracts well. Good lighting too.

Looks nice, and feels like a quality product, I'm glad I chose this one. It's very powerful and I think we will probably only use it in the lowest setting most of the time as it does get quite noisy when you turn it up to a higher setting, it's good to have the option if we need it though. The lights are nice and bright and it was easy to fit ourselves in our new cabinet. We are using it for recirculation so I wish AO gave you the option to buy the charcoal filters at the same time as you buy the hood, it would be easier and more convenient.

Really pleased with this cooker hood. We bought it to match the cut out having removed an old extractor so were limited on choice but this is small, powerful and reasonably quiet. The fact that it is plugged in rather than hard wired was really helpful but it would be nice to have a plug included (presumably left off as it's not just a UK model) I had expected to need a second pair of hands but once the ducting and prep work was in place it only took 10 minutes to install myself, being that it's lightweight and includes retaining clips to keep it in place prior to accessing to the cupboard soffit. Lights and extraction settings are ideal in mid sized kitchen

The Elica cooker hood is an excellent addition to our new kitchen. It removes all the cooking sells associated with cooking. Our one is the ducted hood. It has a powerful motor for this purpose. The removal filter that is washable alleviating the need for expensive replacement charcoal ones. The led lights illuminate the hob service in poor light conditions very bight they are. It's stylish sleek manufacture makes is very sleek to not intrude to much beyond the overhead units.

The cooker head/extractor fan is very minimal in appearance. The fan is quiet and the LED lights are nice and bright. The controls pop out when pushed and are easy to use.

This was one of the few that fitted in the cupboard. Seems to do the job.

It's working well so far. Time will tell for reliability. We bought it for the extra strength of the fan versus others in the same price bracket and haven't been disappointed. It's not as noisy as some of the other reviews had suggested, but it's certainly not silent either. Worth it for condensation-free windows though! Pretty easy to instal, although be careful because some of the sheet metal parts have very sharp edges and can easily cut careless fingers. It would have been nice to have received it with a plug though.
