"My previous, very similar, NEFF cooker hood worked faultlessly for 30 years. I only replaced it because it was coated with 30 years of grease. The new cooker hood was already damaged when I took it out of its packaging - because the two ridiculously flimsy plastic clips holding in the vital operating buttons and associated electrical gubbins at the front of the unit had both failed and broken during transit ! Being a DIY expert I simply inserted two SCREWS carefully into the plastic control panel and into the metal of the hood structure, plus some silicon sealant around the inside of the displaced control panel, to permanently re-secure it ! TWO SCREWS for goodness sakes ! Why didn't NEFF's product engineers design this unit to be more sturdy by either using two screws themselves or simply stronger plastic clips ? What a basic design blunder !
The hood actually now works very well , though I'm unconvinced that the two bulbs shining through the metal filters is very appealing. Not something I could recommend to a potential buyer - too flimsy to believe this will still be going in five years , never mind thirty ! "
"My previous NEFF cooker hood worked faultlessly for 30 years. I only replaced it , with another NEFF, because after 30 years it was disgustingly internally covered in grease. Hugely disappointingly, the nowadays relocated lights and fan settings switch panel at the front, held in only by a ludicrously flimsy couple of plastic clips, was already loose on opening the packaging, and the two clips broke immediately on trying to return it to its slot ! I repaired this stupidly under-engineered switch component with some silicon sealant and TWO SCREWS ! It then worked OK. Why didn't it have those two simple screws, or a much more sturdy clip, originally ?The hood now works fine, with good extraction, but my faith in NEFF as a quality brand is destroyed. How long will this one function ? not as long as its predecessor I'd bet . Do not buy this flimsy cooker hood - unless you are as handy as me with the repair of badly designed , laughably over-flimsy, components"

"Great item and easy to fit by following the instructions and having basic DIY skills. Good design for a required slimline installation and complements the kitchen fitted with other Neff appliances. Easy to operate and very efficient. "

"Replaced old fan after moving into new house. Much improvement and fits well behind cupboard door. Instructions supplied were only picture based and took a while to work out the correct screws and pieces. After finally working out how to instal wasn’t too difficult but took a few hours. Is slightly noisy on top speed but would only use to clear severe smoke, so not really an issue. When cooking steak on a high heat using a cast iron pan, it successfully and quickly cleared the smoke. Decent upgrade if you are looking to replace an existing integrated hood. Took one star off for the lack of detail in the instructions. "

"This cooker hood was purchased to replace the cooker hood supplied with my kitchen refurbishment from a different but well known manufacturer. Whilst the body of the Neff hood is the same (I presume that most manufacturers use the same case) this overall Neff product is far superior with higher quality and washable metal filters and a good powerful ( if noisy) fan. Control buttons seem robust. A satisfied customer."
