Hello, we are about to order a kitchen but cannot decide which downdraft extractor to choose.
The options are:
Bora Basic
Miele ....
Both cost around 3000 euros (approximately 3200 USD).
The Miele looks nicer, but for me it is more important that it works well and reliably.
Are there any long-term experiences?
Any recommendations with reasons?
I would really appreciate it.

No idea. It’s ordered and will be installed. I only know the videos on YouTubeAlright. I thought it was already installed for you... but you’re just getting started.
I recently had a demonstration of Miele and have already tried out the Bora Professional myself. I wouldn’t like the Bora Basic; in my opinion, it takes up too much space, but I have to admit that I lack practical experience with it. Bora Professional was excellent!
I can’t relate to the argument that “if something boils over, you can never get it out and it’s so complicated to take the unit apart” for either Miele or Bora. Both fans can be disassembled quickly and easily, and then the parts can simply go into the dishwasher. The sink area is made of stainless steel and can be wiped clean easily and without problems.
What I don’t like about Miele is that, for example, there is a groove around the teppanyaki grill (I personally imagine this would be annoying to clean; however, as mentioned, I haven’t been able to test it myself yet). Overall, I prefer the Bora concept, but that is certainly a matter of personal taste. That’s why we are going for a Bora Professional with induction cooktops on one side and a teppanyaki on the other.
I also wasn’t as pleased with the Miele induction cooktop compared to Bora. Miele has the usual round heating zones, while Bora—like in professional kitchens—offers an induction surface across the entire area. So, there are two rectangular zones that can be controlled individually or combined if you want to heat a large roasting pan over both zones.
However, I’m convinced that you won’t make a big mistake with either option.
