Kitchen Decision - Please help!

[KitchenNightmares]

Hi everyone,

Hoping you can help me with my dilemma!

I am designing my new kitchen on an app and I am happy with it all apart from one thing, the cooker hood. I find them all quite ugly but have narrowed it down to two.

The square option or the option with curved glass. I feel I have spent too much time looking at it so looking for any further opinions/advice :) I will try and attach the image so you can see.

Thanks

Does anyone know how I can share a picture? :) Thanks

I don’t like cooker hoods either. I have one that’s inside a cupboard so not visible.

This sort of idea.

To share a picture, click on the paper clip below the posting box, and it will ask to access your photos or camera to take a photo.

We've got an induction job with a down draft extractor built in. No hood needed.

I hate extractor fans too.

We looked at down draft ones and those that rise up but you lose space under the hob.

In the end we went for a ceiling one from Luxair. It's white so you can't really see it.

@Twizbe ours doesn't rise up. It's part of the hob.

Yeah, we looked at down draft ones and ones that rise up.

With both you lose space under the counter. We wanted a deep drawer with inner hidden drawer inside and you can't have those with those kinds of extractor.

You don't need a cooker hood, if you have a suitable external wall you can use a normal extractor fan as long as it is rated for a kitchen.
They are much less noisy and can have humidity sensors, timers etc.

You could still have a high cupboard above the hob.

We don't have one either. We have a normal extractor fan (like a grill in the way) but we have a tall cupboard next for the hob and the extractor is above that (so if you imagine a clock, its sort at 5 past in comparison to the house - so not directly above the hob, slightly offset to the right) so you cant actually see it unless you're looking.
