COMFEE' 90 cm Chimney Hood 90M77 Class A+++ Stainless Steel Extractor Hood with Recirculating & Ducting System, Gesture Control Extractor Fan Kitchen with Carbon Filters

I never imagined I'd be waving at my cooker hood, yet here we are. The gesture control is a nice feature, though it can be a bit inconsistent at times. Fortunately, the touch controls work perfectly. The suction power is excellent – it handles steam and cooking smells with ease, keeping the kitchen fresh without being excessively noisy. Even at higher speeds, the sound remains at a reasonable level.Installation was straightforward, though the chimney feels a little flimsy, making mounting slightly tricky. The included filters work well and are easy to clean, though they’ll need replacing every six months. The one real downside is the lighting – it’s quite dim and has a cool blue tone, which doesn’t create the warm kitchen atmosphere I prefer. I ended up swapping them for brighter GU5.3s.Despite these small issues, it has an attractive design and works efficiently. Ideal for keeping the air fresh while preparing a Sunday roast for the family.

I recently purchased the Stainless Steel Extractor Hood from comfee, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations! The sleek stainless steel design not only adds a modern touch to my kitchen but also proves to be highly durable. The gesture control feature is a game-changer, making it incredibly convenient to operate, especially when my hands are messy from cooking.The recirculating and ducting system works flawlessly, effectively removing smoke and odors from my kitchen. The inclusion of carbon filters is a fantastic addition, ensuring that the air remains fresh and clean. I was particularly impressed by how quiet the extractor fan is, even at higher speeds, which makes for a much more pleasant cooking experience.What really stands out is the ease of installation and maintenance. The filters are easy to remove and clean, and the overall build quality is top-notch.In summary, this extractor hood is a perfect blend of style, functionality, and efficiency. It has truly transformed my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish kitchen extractor hood. Five stars all the way!

Pre-Arrival:When shopping for this unit I needed to know Chimney Dimensions but could not find them, even manufacturer did not respond with sizes. Would it have been so difficult to provide basic unit dimensions? I have measured and added an image for others reference. I had to eyeball from photos and sketches before ordering the unit because I knew it would be tight but it all worked out, it almost looks made for my space - knowing dimensions in advance would have been much easier though.Installation:The unit installed fairly easily, had to cut off the 3-Pin UK plug to hard wire but that was simple, there was about 1.5m of cable. Lucky I already had a reducer for the 150mm dia exhaust from the unit which easily popped on and then connected to my 120mm flexible exhaust duct. A paper template was supplied for wall fixing with all dimensions clearly marked, I didn't use the template but handy to have. Just pre-drill 5 holes, attach the mounting bracket (simple to attach to the wall with 3 supplied fixings), hook the unit on then remove the grease filter and lock the unit in place with 2 more supplied screws (I would normally use a torque drill to screw in but space was a bit tight, so used a hand screwdriver - no problem really). After removing the old unit it was about a 1 Hr Job but it could easily be done in 30 mins if necessary.Function:Looks great, gives a much more modern look than my previous Stainless Steel brasserie style hood. I wasn't sure how the black glass would look but I'm really happy. It is a small kitchen and the mirror effect of the glass helps create a feeling of more space and the angle design opens up the hob area. Until you find the touch power button nothing is illuminated so it can be a bit tricky to find the On button, once on the unit has an LED downlight (toggled on-off by a touch button) which is OK but not great, gives a slightly blue light which is quite appealing in my view. Activate the fan with the + touch button and select one of 3 settings, reduce the speed with the - touch button and that's about it. In operation the fan is not too noisy, Like all extractors, you can clearly hear it but no worse than my previous unit. During boiling and frying it was clear the unit was working, there is no need to "open" the glass panel (that is only for access to the grease filter) during operation, the fan sucks up through the gap between the fan housing unit and the glass panel. I saw other reviews with pots boiling and steam everywhere, which was concerning, but I use a lid when boiling (to conserve energy) and when I removed a lid from a pot of boiling potatoes I could clearly see the extractor was working. I would keep windows and doors closed when using any small domestic extractor because they struggle with cross drafts. The manufacturer claims 440CMH on Amazon but also states 320CMH, I am guessing it might be more like 320, there was no specification in the manual. The unit has a neat delayed shutdown mode which allows you to shut off the unit and it will run for a short period - great for getting rid of any lingering odours while letting you get out the kitchen and not have to return.Overall:For the price, this looks to be a great unit for a small kitchen. It works as well as my old unit, that died after 10 years, and the new unit is a fraction of the price. Time will tell how it stands up to rigorous domestic use, hopefully it will be another 10 years (or more) until a need to do another Cooker Hood review.
