Planning on having a small 30cm induction hob for open kitchen... undecided which part of the kitchen to place it, will be either against the wall or island style.

Most hood sizes are 60 or 90cm... any suitable 30cm hood to recommend? Need a small neat one.

Hi Goalhome ,

Most Hood come with 60cm,70cm,90cm in width . Certain brands do have this size . As for the power supply for 30 cm induction hob , most of them use either 15 AMP to 20 AMP. power input so is advise to check with your designer whether the power supply is okie ?

And induction hob need special pots ( Induction pots )

I bought a Bosch Island hood for my place. I made a mistake by trusting the sales people to know their specifications well.

All hoods should not be more than one meter above the hob ideally. I did tell the sale staff my ceiling height and they said it was within tolerance. My installer ( Bosch recommended) said it was not right. I have a hood that is 200mm higher than its ideal height. So functionality now is compromised. It will still work but not as well. Thankfully we are not going to do any heavy cooking, and the hood was purchased due to looks more, as compared to functionality. Moral of the story is ask for the specifications and confirm them yourself.

Bosch has this unique charcoal filter to absorb smells. This hinders the airflow rate I was told and given a demonstration by the installer. It feels much weaker. I have yet to cook so I don't know if the charcoal filter pad is going to be an advantage or disadvantage. Airflow rate versus smell.

Again I was told, a hood works best if it can ventilate the sucked in air out to the open, as compared to recirculation. He did mention the pull out hoods were also more about form than functionality. He did not want to elaborate further.

Another important point, not many contractors, whether it may be carpenters or electrician, or even plumbers are willing to take the task of installing an island hood. It requires some skill and equipment. The holes that were to be drilled and attached to the hood were done by laser. So there will be additional costs if you want an island hood. It is even more costly if your ceiling is false as they would have to add reinforcements. The price of installation almost doubles.

Looks wise, it is great. Price wise, it actually cost more than double as compared to a fit in wall hood. Things you might want to consider if you are working on a budget or if you need to buy an island hood.
