ᐅ Looking for a solution for a range hood ventilation system

Yes, we also have a Bora with exhaust ventilation. Flawless, would choose it again anytime.

Now, more seriously, this question has been asked countless times and answered—or rather not answered—about a million times over… okay, maybe not that serious after all 😀

Try using the search function.

If you want specific opinions, you definitely need to provide more information. Recirculating or exhaust ventilation, what is important to you, do you cook properly or just heat water for tea occasionally? Is there a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery?

Additionally, there is the distinction between canopy hoods and ceiling-mounted hoods.

We have now decided on a cooktop with a downdraft extractor for our kitchen design. The cooktop is installed in a peninsula. I find ceiling-mounted range hoods unattractive, no matter how stylish they are. Since the head chef is almost two meters (6 ft 7 in) tall, a downdraft extractor was the best option. This way, he can easily see into all the pots, and the pots can be placed freely on the cooktop.
I’m also not really a fan of pop-up extractors.
We recently stayed over Easter in a vacation home with a downdraft cooktop from Bora. It was really great. Although we will use a different manufacturer, it was definitely the right choice.

The situation is as follows:

Open kitchen or closed?
Wood stove or not?
Island size?
Preferences?

We have the cooktop on a peninsula and do not have a range hood (since the cooktop including downdraft ventilation is not available).
So far, this works well by tilting the window open 10 minutes beforehand and keeping it tilted for 10 minutes after cooking.
We will continue without a range hood for now because we believe that recirculation ventilation hardly makes a difference anyway (at least we never used it in our apartment, always just tilted the window).
Exhaust ventilation is, of course, a different matter...

There is also the Berbel downdraft extractor.
It doesn’t hang in the room, allows free choice of cooktop, and retracts when not in use.

It looks good but is too expensive.

Then the solutions with cooktop extraction will probably be too expensive as well.
