If you have a small kitchen, or if you are not lucky enough to have high ceilings a downdraft extractor is perfect for you.

A downdraft extractor is only seen when in use.

The extractor is fitted beneath the work surface and will rise to hob level to just above pan height.

Once you are finished with it, it goes back down out of view.

Hoods can be supplied to operate in recirculation mode, where the air flow passed through carbon filters to absorb the cooking fumes, before recycling the air back into your kitchen or in extraction mode. However the hood needs to be connected to an external wall and all the steam and cooking fumes are extracted outside through the ducting

Downdraft extractors are also known for their quiet operation – but check with the supplier of the model that you choose as the sound level will vary according to the design of the hood, its installation and its airflow.

Suppliers include:-

De Dietrich
AEG
