Baumatic F60.2SS Stainless Steel Kitchen Hood

Id give this an excellent as the finish is very good, but my only reasons for a downgrade really are:

1 Not much difference in fan speeds
2 Lamps are filament bulbs not halogen

Other than that the finish is very good, its easy to fit and does the job. I have set up for full extraction, so cannot comment on the carbon filter set up :)

Baumatic no longer fit the back draft flaps on the top of the fan so if you are venting into a chimney stack the air blows back through fan and filters when extractor not in use. ok if venting to outside house wall where you can fit grill on ducting pipe but fitting instructions still show both types of venting

cracking bargain, three speeds with twin light.

The baumatic is stainless steel which can easil be cleaned. Easy to fit.

This cooker hood extractor is a powerful piece of kit and saying that since fitting ours we have only used it on the lowest setting. Because it is powerful it is quite noisey but it certainly does it's job. It is fairly straight forward to fit the instructions say it takes 2 people to fit it, but I did it on my own using blocks to sit it on before drilling, and it looks the part when it's finished. There is plenty of illumination from the twin internal lights. The fliters are easy to remove (we haven't had to clean them yet) The fixing height varies depending on if it is over a gas or electric hob, I googled it and came up with a hieght of 720mm to 750mm above worktop.

fan is very noisy but effective - but it looks well and is easy to fit but you do need a ducting kit - which I already had as I was replacing an older version of the same hood.The `non return flaps` on the hood were missing but I used the ones off the old hood and wrote to Baumatic (included a photo of the component which had parts missing) but recieved no reply
