I am very happy with the hood. I find the lights placed at the back ,do cover the front of the hob, but if there could be more light, that would be better. The hight of the chimney is perfect for a standard height ceiling, there was no problem fitting it in my kitchen.
When on a high setting, the fan does sound quite industrial! However it is certainly effective In a medium sized kitchen.
The filter is easy to change and accessible, unlike some models. if like my family, you need extra height clearance , the style of this works perfectly, no banging heads or having to duck when cooking at the back of the hob
