Thanks, @ryder72 Based on everyone's input, it sounds like if I want a combination of good extraction AND good induction (that matters a lot as well), my best and safest bet is Bora. Thanks a lot! Curly

Hi, thank you for your input! @lizzie, thank you for your feedback. Great to know you had the one that came out of the counter before and think they are not as good. --> Oh, I was wondering about Teppanyaki. So your view is that it's a great one to have? It's on my list of buy-right-after-getting-the-hob ? . I was also wondering whether the fixed Teppanyaki was worth it, but cleaning it seems to be a hassle... The one you can move around sounds nice. Flexi is also on my list, it means you can cook on much larger pans... --> Did you research any other brand that worked on the same principle when you nought your Bora hob? @AliG, thanks for looking for prices. I know, the Gaggenau price tag is crazy. I am only watching the ex-display arena. I have a nice Siemens oven, but I am not that impressed, and looking at the build and reviews on Gaggenau, I wonder if under the same company they keep the best components for Gaggenau. Hence the price. I wish I could go to a cooking demo to have a better idea. I went to a demo of Miele appliances, and then one for Siemens, and I wasn't as impressed with Siemens (but the oven was much cheaper, I'm saving for the hob!) . I read that the Gaggenau extractor that is integrated like the Bora is around £3k. Not sure whether it's true but again, I am looking for ex-display. Patiently.

Hello, Trying to choose between Gaggenau extraction (tabletop that comes out of the counter, or integrated similar to Bora) and Bora. I've read a lot about Bora basic but very little about how efficient (or not) Gaggenau is in comparison. Or Miele, for that matter. The only posts that had comparisons are old enough to get updated views from you all. -> For owners of a Gaggenau or a Miele extractor: - are you happy with how it removes smells, and with the noise levels? - Do you wish you'd gone for Bora instead? I particularly like the Gaggenau tabletop extractor, because it seems close enough to the cooking zone to be effective, but seems to give more flexibility on which hob to pair it with. https://www.gaggenau.com/gb/appliances/extractors/400-series --> For owners of a Bora Basic BFIU or Bora classic: - How much were you quoted for it, and do you know how much the bora classic with 2 induction zones would have been instead? - Does the timer only work in 10 minutes increments? I can't find any information on that - Is there a pause function? I know Bora is the first one that successfully managed extraction integrated in the hob, but have Gaggenau or Miele caught up, or is Bora still the absolute king? Thank you in advance for all your thoughts! Curly
