After viewing the available online reviews complaining how noisy the cooker hood is, bought this one in frightening as I had no choice but to get one ASAP at that moment.
However, after installation as an extraction hood, found it not noisy at all compared to my previous AEG recirculation one.
At the lowest level the noise is quite gentle and at the max level my feeling is it is only as noisy as my previous one.
Mine is only installed with a 100mm duct so the noise might be even lower when using an 150mm duct.
In addition the LED lights are super bright though they are only claimed to be 2.5w x 2, but they are brighter than the 4w GU4 LED lights in my previous hood, top quality LED lights.
BTW, it does comes with a carbon filter, which is, however, useless to me.
