Neff Cooker Hood

3 May 2008, 1:12 PM

The series 6 hood from Neff, the D96K8, is a new cube shaped chimey hood. Over the years many manufacturers have launched new designs for cooking products, but only extractor hoods can have the fundamental design revamped, as ovens and other appliances have limitations to their basic shape.

The Extraction is a vital part of any kitchen to achieve the most efficient results when cooking, and this model has an output (Intensive setting) of 760 m³/h. This is about average for a good quality manufacturer but there are other models on the market with up to 1000 m³/h/

The most impressive feature from the outset is the flexibility of the configuration. It can be installed as a single unit but also with a single glass canopy accessory. Alternatively you can place two separate cube units side by side with a glass canopy accessory across them, meaning an extraction solution for wider range cookers up to perhaps 120cm width, and the great looks of a glass cooker hood.

Special features for this model include electronic control via push button operation which becomes automatic 10 minutes after running. The sensor feature means the unit decides how much extraction is required at any one time during cooking, and this saves on electricity.

Also as standard are 2 x 20 watt halogen lights and a saturation indicator for the metal grease filter.

This neff cooker hood will retail in the UK for around £920. Considering the specification it is quite costly compared to comparable elica models, which offer similar design and better performance.

Mr Heneffe has worked in the kitchen appliances industry for over 10 years. His experience includes designing kitchens and buying cooker hoods in bulk for large organisations. His company, Kitchen Kitchen Ltd sells to the public and trade industry throughout the UK. They specialise in products from leading kitchen appliance manufacturers.
