AEG Dampkap DGE5861HM

Very happy with my new kitchen extractor. Appearance is spot on. It is well made and of good quality stainless steel and also works well. The only thing that I would say is that the lights are quite bright for us. In saying that, it could be that we have it fitted a little high on the wall. Would highly recommend

Appears to be well designed and manufactured. Neat, good looking product. It has very good extraction rates but it is a lot noisier than I had hoped even on the lowest speed.

I noticed the grease filter panel is default, the string inside the mounting clip is not placed correctly leading to incapability to take out the panel. Default product and I would like a replacement of the filter panel.

This has nice build quality but doesn't live up to the stated quiet operation. Initial test found it to be very noisy on the no.1 setting and you have to raise your voice on the second setting. I dismounted the ducts and found that without any restriction on the outlet the fan slows right down and it's quiet. However even fitting the backdraft shutter causes the fan speed to increase, then even a slight restriction such as holding your hand 100-150mm above the outlet causes the fan speed the dramatically increase and the noise increases as before. The Q&A section couldn't shed light on why the fan speed would vary when it's meant to be fixed so I opted to return the unit. Since I bought it via a partner kitchen supplier it's been challenging to organize a return (which was eventually declined by AEG because it has some finger marks on the cover in the image I submitted, despite the issue being related to abnormal operation). Overall I'm left with an extractor I can't use.

I think it is a bit noisy but it does it's job. No steam or bad odours upstairs even if a open plan kitchen
