CIARRA Integrated Cooker Hood 52cm CBCS5913A Stainless Steel Built in Extractor Hood LED Light 3 Speeds Undercabinet Extractor Fan

Delighted with this cookerhood.Extractor a bit noisy but not a problem.

The cooker hood arrived well packaged and looks good so far. We are installing our new kitchen at the end of August, so this is in the garage for the time being. I will update this review with photos once it's finished. Update 12.9.22: We finally got this cooker hood installed yesterday and it looks great and works well. It took hubby and son around 4 hours from start to finish, so it was a bit fiddly for them. We've been fitting a new kitchen ourselves and this was the last component to install. The unit for it was already on the wall, so we had to take it down first so that we could cut the necessary holes into it; getting that right is what took most of the time, that and the strange hinge so that the door flap stays up, but that's our units, not the cooker hood. It has 3 different levels of extraction plus an off button and the lights button. It is really easy to use. I couldn't use our old one as the door flap was so difficult to open, you couldn't use it without opening the door, and the controller was a slider, so I was forever breaking my nails on it and had to keep getting hubby to do it for me. Plus, you couldn't see what you were doing so it was too easy to turn the light on instead of the fan! I'll have no excuse now as I don't think it would be possible to break my nails on this one with it being push buttons. Our new kitchen units are white, they look black because it's dark, and the wall will be tiled, eventually.

The unit looks good and seems to work well. The fan has 3 speeds with the middle one being less noisy than the full speed. This full speed is quite noisy but about the same as other comparable units.. I fitted it into a hole above an old kitchen range which made life a bit difficult compared with fitting in a cabinet. Connecting to the existing 100mm duct work was a bit awkward as the unit has a 120mm vent. An adapter and some duct tape was the solution there. The LED lights are good. Overall we are happy with the unit.

This is a great unit - good looking, well made and easy to install and clean. The only two things I would urge other customers to consider is 1. know what size your extractor hose is - I had to do some fancy work with a plastic bottle and duct tape to get it to fit (the manufacturer may want to consider providing some adaptors to ensure it fits all sizes) and get something for the unit to sit on while connecting it - I needed at least one other pair of hands to hold it up while connecting the hose. However, now it's in and working, I'm very happy with it.

This product was a perfect replacement for my old extractor fan. Exact fit to where the old one was, easy to install for any DIY enthusiast. Also very reasonably priced.

Easy to fit, but would recommend cutting out the hole in cabinet 3mm smaller on all sides for a better fit and less strain on the edges that hold the weight of the unit. Brushed steel finish looks much better than the plastic alternatives. Noise level is constant with no rattles and the lights are extremely bright with a cool white tone. Can be used as a recirculating or extracting hood. For recirculating a 168mm CIARRA CBCF005 carbon filter should be put in.

Bought this in September 2021. One light packed in after 12 months. The other one comes on and off when it feel like it. Good points- value for money, quiet on speed 1, fairly easy to fit, easy to use, good extraction rate on speed 3. Metal filter is easy to clip on and off. The fan is still working after 4 years of daily use. Not so good points- lights are dim and unreliable, non replaceable light bulb, no carbon filter, noisy on speed 3 (see video), poor extraction on speed 1, the metal filter is not detachable from plastic frame for which I hesitate to machine wash it. If the manufacturer improves the lights and dishwasher proof filter, it will be 5 star from me. As it stands 3 is fair in my opinion.

Stainless steel construction, looks really nice, however only 4 star because no 125mm flexible hose included, this meant that I couldn't complete the installation in one day. The screws provided needed some small washers on them otherwise the screws will pull through the hood. I would highly recommend this cooker hood.
