This is a good bit of kit, I was looking for a hood of curved glass design that had a short flue option, unless you live in London or a mansion with high ceilings you tend to have to cut these things to size, with the baumatic I could accommodate the minimum distance from hob to hood that you require. When the flue is not extended with the flue extension piece it achieves 540mm, this is a perfect height for my kitchen, and this way I didn't have to take the saw to it.
The hood looks stunning in brushed steel with the curved glass sparkling from the reflection of the two 20 Watt lights fitted below. The controls are electroniceasy touch type that control the three fan speeds and the lights.
A vent kit was supplied to vent to atmosphere, I am running mine on recirc with the carbon filters fitted, it takes two filters (not supplied) one either side of the motor, I managed to find these for a very reasonable price at £10 the pair on the internet.
Mine came with an offer of a free two year guarantee in the box as long as I registered it within a set amount of time.
I have no problem in recommending this hood to any prospective buyer.
