So I have a lovely new kitchen with my oven in a central island. During the design I was sort of talked out of having an extractor fan along the lines of who uses them anyway? I didn’t really use mine a lot so agreed. Fast forward - big mistake! Kitchen is such a big open area now that any cooking smells etc go everywhere - and cooking steaks - well we couldn’t see for a while😂anyway has anyone got any experience of ceiling extractor fans that don’t actually extract outdoors and just use the filters? Anything you can recommend? Thank you for your help.

We’ve got a Dow draft one in a hob. In new extension so ducting in floor before screed went down. Be very inconvenient to retrofit one. Impossible if you’ve got underfloor heating.

It’s v good though. Copes with steak.

They're not just for cooking smells and smoke from frying. When you're boiling food the moisture in the air needs to be released too.

It's especially important with gas to have an extractor because it produces so much moisture, we changed to electric and there is far less moisture, it's much better
