They are individual but yes easy to get out. There’s also a container underneath the hob to catch any spills. 

@saveasteading the two removable grease filters are in this caddy. The four replaceable carbon filters are in the second picture with two either side. The third picture shows the grease filter caddy/holder in place. Excuse the dust.

Not a speckle finish option instead of black?

Useful pics, thanks.

That must be quite  noisy fan to attract the air over there when it wants to rise.

😂 yes, it’s a speckled finish.   
 

It is very effective with steam even at a low speed which is quiet.  At full pelt it’s noisy but much the same as a cooker hood. You can configure it to come on automatically or manually. It also runs for a variable period of time after you’ve finished cooking. In the installation manual it mentioned that you can replace the carbon filters with acoustic filters.

For completeness it extracts to a duct that attaches to the back of the hob and runs down behind and underneath the cabinet. This was a fiddly thing to put together. A bit like the scene from Apollo 13 where they have to make a CO₂ filter out of bits that don’t quite fit. The duct doesn’t come with the hob though so you need to buy that separately and they do different types to suit different installations.
