Chimney cooker hood recommendations please

Hi
I am looking for a 60cm wide silver chimney cooker hood. My budget is £185. I have seen a Neff model D66B20N0GB which has 2 years warranty, 3 speeds, 2 lights (2x40 wattage), max extraction speed of 440, and 53 decibels, and 2 filters.
I just wondered if anyone else could recommend any other models please? I prefer the ones which don't have curved glass on the front. I have seen quite a few Baumatic ones for about £150 but do not know what the quality is like.
It would be good if it came with washable grease filters. I know an AEG EFC60001X model has these, but some of the reviews say it is quite noisy and as it is £130, I'm not sure if it is a decent model or not.
Many thanks in advance

Hi
Instead of the Neff, why not go for The Aqua 600 by Elica. It gives you 480m3/h extraction, 49db, twin filtered with 2 x lights. You should be able to pick one up for around £120...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

I've never heard of Elica. Are they a good make, or would I be better spending a little more for a decent budget model. I've only got a kitchen about 8 square metres, so it is very small. Are there any other models I should perhaps consider. The Aqua 600 by Elica looks to be a steal.0

Elica are an Italian company who only make cooker hoods:

They are one of the best manufacturers of extraction appliances and I would highly recommend. They do some truely amazing (for a price) styles and designs, such as the OM, Karma, Legend and Space. Their extraction rate is 2nd to none and they have their own nationwide service engineers...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

No probs. I've actually just sold someone an Aqua (but the 90cm version). I wouldn't sell them if I didn't trust them...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Ahh, for recirculation purposes I will need a Charcoal Filter Type 200 which cost about £34. I don't suppose you could recommend a cheaper univeral one which would fit the Elica Aqua which was a bit cheaper could you? Thanks I owe you a beer....0

Nope, you need F00169/2S - Type 169
Available from here for £21
