Hi all
looking at quotes for a new kitchen that will have the hob in an island, and the oven in a wall-unit stack.
Wife's not keen on an over-island extractor hood and we've been pointed toward a down draft extractor unit that sits flush with the worktop then rises majestically up, sooks up the gunk, then sinks back out of sight when you're done.
I must admit that it looks a neat solution. We realise that it needs around 200mm behind the hob for the unit, plus some under-hob plumbing for the extraction that goes under the floorboards.
Does anyone have any pros / cons for these kinds of devices? We see them at ~£900 - £2,000; any huge benefits for the higher priced models?
One final question is the grill in the built-in stack; will the downdraft on the island have any appreciable effect on fumes from the grill?
Thanks
