Ceiling extractor hood vs fan in the kitchen?

[FollowingAmirage]

So, we are renovating the kitchen and I really dislike the extractor hood!! I do a lot of cooking but rarely use it. I have been looking at flush ceiling extractors and some are v expensive? Are they worth the price tag? My worry is that the ceiling all around them will be greasy and stained?
The other option to keep the open feel (and since I don’t really use the extractor hood we have anyway) is to install a fan on the wall...will that do the job? I don’t want to spent ££££ if the fan is just as good?

In a kitchen you need the air extracted to the outside otherwise the whole room (especially around the cooker) becomes covered in a film of grease. An extractor is the most efficient way to remove smells, moisture and grease.

Would you look at a downdraft hood built into the hob. Bora is a make that do these.

Yes, seen the bora one....but I quite like the cooker we currently have so don’t really want to replace...

We have an extractor fan on the wall, dont use it very often. Have a window, open that instead!

I realise that an extractor is needed in the kitchen, but will something like this be adequate? www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-lp150stc-25w-kitchen-extractor-fan-with-timer-chrome-240v/27536?tc=IA1&ds_kid=92700055281954508&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx5X4vODN6gIVV-7tCh3LMgC4EAQYCiABEgJ7ufD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I've looked this up and a wall or ceiling basic one not over hob needs to extract 60 litres per second and if it's over the hob that goes down to 30 litres per second . So bathroom /expelair type is fine if it meets those figures (some switch in themselves if moisture present in air too that I thought was handy!)

Many thanks lookatme. Very handy to have the figures! So for those who only have a fan in the kitchen. Do you notice any difference?

It's mandatory I believe? Has to be 'as good as or better' than what was there before.

We currently have a recirculating extractor hood which is just gathering dust and grease so I am sure a fan will do a better job. But the question is is it worth spending £££ on a ceiling extractor?
