Chimney cooker hood recommendations please

Options
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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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....
