It would also depend on your hob type with regard to width, induction needs to be wider than gas/electric.

Nuts. I've fitted a 600mm wide induction hob under a 600mm hood. Although it isn't too late to change it, I can't go much more than 700mm wide due to a wall return. But it was cheap, and is mainly for show as I don't do that much cooking.

On the plus side, the kitchen is roughly 20m³ and the hood is rated at 360m³/hr. With a fairly short run of large ducting to the outside, I haven't had any real problems yet.

Wow..few days off line and so many replies!! Awesome.

Sorry should have provided details;

The Hob is 75cm, thought 80cm hood will be sufficient however not may choices, i'm confirming with the designer if there's space for a 90cm.


Yes going on the outside wall, i'm shocked to see the prices on some of these extractors, costing more than the actual appliance!!

A good extractor is worth it if you do a lot of cooking. There are hundreds of threads on here every year asking about how to deal with condensation. Cooking is one of the main causes of adding moisture to a home so a decent extractor, that actually extracts to outside rather than just re-circulating air, is a good investment.

Thank you all, your input has been valuable.

Due to budget constraint I decided to go for a Baumatic ISL5SS, it has a good extraction rate, Ok a little on the noisy side, will buy ear plugs for the Mrs
