Kitchen Ventilation/Extraction

[leevis]

The thing is actually called a Downdraft Kitchen Island Extractor fan. So yes and no lol

The kitchen itself will have an island with an in build extractor fan

But not actually an extractor.

Sounds like a really wrongly named expensive bit of kit

It only extracts money out of the unwary.

Kitchen ornament.

I think I saw them advertised on TV, they have holes in the hob, drawing the steam from the pots down through the hob itself. What happens to the steam then, is anyone's guess.

Incredibly pointless, unless it extracts to the outside.

and when the cheese sauce boils over..........

No, this one is different, the hob is on the island and the extractor sits behind this. When it needs to be used (ie you are using the hob) it rises out of the island

But, does it extract to outdoors?
