CIARRA Cooker Hood 60cm CBCB6201 600mm Kitchen Extractor Hood with Carbon Filters Recirculating&Ducting Wall Mounted Cooker Extractor Fan Black

After reading the reviews I nearly didn't buy this, but after looking at branded more expensive hoods with not much better reviews I chose this as the duct kit and carbon filters came with it, and the reviews stated people either really loved or hated it, so we took a chance & for price thought it was a cheaper option if it was a bad buy. However, turned out to be a great choice, we have the 90cm black hood, and have used it now for 3 weeks, hubby found it very easy and straight forward to install, (replacing an old one) we have universal filters so use them as well as the carbon, the suction Is great on all 3 settings used as directed, the light looks good and really does look good as a back light on an evening, the motor noise is a lot quieter than the last hood we had up, it was noticed straight away. And finally it looks fantastic and finishes my kitchen off beautifully. All in all I'm extremely pleased we took a chance on this one, we've saved nearly £300 and feel it's a win win. So if like me your put off by the bad reviews, concentrate more on the good ones and listen to our experiences of this hood.

It went up very well, good instructions. Only using the charcoal instead of going straight outside the house to see how we get on, it's a nice matt black, light is bright and the fans don't sound overall noisy. I would definately recommend.

Slight issue with the power which i had to get my friend the electrician in for. Not this product fault but the original house owners, as they had put a direct feed into the previous hood with a fused on/off switch in the wall below. This extractor come with either a kettle lead connection or a 3 pin plug. So sparky put kettle lead plug on direct feed then charged me £50 for doing so (git!) :DThe exractor part of the hood went up fine but connecting the funnel at the top ended up was being a pain. Had to put both parts together and then tape them while staggered, so that when the bottom part was in, a) i could get the top part in without dislodging the bottom part and b) so i could slid the bugger up once i had the bottom part in place. Otherwise it slid down and i was unable to slid it back up again. Such is the cozy fit between them. Once i had figured that out, it was just a matter of screwing the top part of the funnel to the bracket supplied. Didn't screw the bottom part of the hood to the extractor a) didn't look good and b) its fits into groves at the bottom and is screwed in at the top, so its going nowhere, even without the screws. Looks good when installed. Only bug bear i have. Its loud and i mean even on lowest setting its alot louder than my previous one. Now this maybe becuase my previous one was crap at sucking up or the motor was slowly dying and we got use to it getting quieter, i dont know. Bit of a shock though when you turn it on for the first time on low and you have to raise your voice to be heard over it.Sucks alot better than previous hood and filters easy to fit / get hold of (at the moment) if you recycle the air into the kitchen. Didn't use the external hose bit that came with it. But if you vent externally, you will need something for the outside of the house, as this doesn't come with anything. So you could be caught short if you do, while fitting outside of normal DIY shows trading times...

Looks great fab price only used once so far so good

The media could not be loaded. Good instruction for installation in video format. Bought for good price and doing job well.

Nothing much to say except I was about to buy a new filter & carbon replacement to our old extractor and that came to near enough what this costs. So pleased with this - it works / looks great and it’s new and modern - lovely - not heard of the the company before so took a chance - no issues and would highly recommend
