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.

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.

I replaced my old canopy hood because it was just too inefficient. This was the only one of a compatible size and, despite the limitations of a small aperture under my kitchen cabinets, it does a better job. I ordered the charcoal filters online as they're readily available and I'm happy that I can wash the grease filter. A bit noisier than expected but very happy to to put with it because it does a good job for such a small size.

Very nice looking and extracts well. Good lighting too.

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.

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.

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.
