Before buying this extractor hood, I had many doubts because there are many mixed reviews, but it had all the features I was looking for, such as: an A+++ energy rating, a large size, multiple power settings, an elegant design, and low noise level (although generally, they are all noisy at the highest setting). We just installed it, which took us about 3 hours using the video included in the instructions, which, it's in English, shows the process very clearly. You have to press each number for 2 seconds to change the power setting. By the way, setting 1 is almost silent, and the highest setting is quite noisy, but I think that's normal unless you buy one that costs £500 or more and is super quiet, which I'm not sure even exists. I've put it into operation, and its suction is better than my previous extractor hood, which was very old. In short, this extractor hood offers a good balance of quality and price; it seems fair to me. Despite the several negative comments and ratings, I'm glad I didn't let them deter me. I'm happy with it, and I hope it lasts. I'll keep you updated.
