Hi all We need to decide on what type of (recirculating) extraction we are having in the kitchen, we have had conflicting advice on this. We are having an Island and we have 2.6m high ceilings Initially, I wanted a flush fit ceiling hob but I was advised that the distance between the hood and the hob was going to be too much to be effective. Is this correct??? We do not want a bulkhead or a traditional island hood hanging down. The next option was looking at a downdraft sitting directly behind the hob. We are having a gas hob and have been advised that the manufacturers will not warranty a downdraft if it is used with a hob as it draws the heat/flames towards it and over time will cause heat damage (this was advised by the kitchen company we are ordering our kitchen from) We do have an MVHR system running in the kitchen too so there will be some consistent extraction going on.

Sorry to bring this up again but I am struggling to find this in the archives. If I remember rightly you can claim the vat on a hob with built in extraction? We have such a hob and we are trying to get the kitchen installer to put this in an invoice and he said we will not be able to claim it back in an email we received today. I will be having a chat tomorrow to explain I just want the invoice stating it is a hob with extraction and not his opinion on whether we can claim it back or not! But have I remembered rightly that you can claim this back? TIA -
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

Hi All Just looking for some opinions..... I'm looking at putting an induction hob with built in extraction into a kitchen island (2m x 1.2x) and after much deliberation I think I've decided on going with Bora. It seems that there are definitely more options for this type of hob/extractor combo now than a couple of years ago when I started planning my build. I've had a look at AEG, Neff, Siemens and Caple as well as Bora and from reading posts here and generally online it seems like Bora is way to go. I have a couple of question for those who have induction hobs and Bora in particular as I'm undecided on whether to go with BFIU or BIU versions. 1. Is having a flexi zone really worth it? I've never actually used a flexi zone, just normal induction and the difference in cost of the 2 Bora models is approx £850 with the difference being the flexi zone, about 70mm in width and a slightly different touch control panel. tying to decide if it's worth the cost difference! 2. For re-circulation Bora just duct back into the service void behind the kitchen cabinet and vent into it with the air working its way down and then our over the plinth. Just worried about any potential issues with moist air etc sitting behind/under the cabinet.... or am I worrying unnecessarily! Thanks Alex

Hi, I have installed a Villavent mhvr system in my new build a few years back and it’s been running fine. I never got my final ticket, due to a lack of funds and had to just move in. I now desperately need my final ticket , so I can try to claim vat back. Do any of you clever people know the cheapest, easiest way for me to get a commissioning certificate passed on my system for building control. Im in Conwy, N.Wales. Appreciate and look forward to any help. Thanks Paul
