Integrated extractor fan for 110cm Range

Hi, I'm currently remodelling my kitchen and want the over mantle/surround look over my new Rangemaster Nexus 110cm.
(Photo shows look I want to achieve- not same Range cooker)
Does anyone have any advice on what integrated cooker hood to go for without breaking the £600 mark? Also, do I need to get a fan the width of the cooker or will a 70cm width one do? There just doesn't seem to be much on the market.
Many thanks for your help!

So I would love my first dishwasher to be a Miele and maybe this would convince my partner that having a dishwasher is an improvement on washing dishes by hand....See Moreventing cooker extractor through chimney breast
Comments (29)Hi @J Lo no we haven’t bothered (yet). Generally its been fine. There’s no escaping the fact the long feed does create a bit of unavoidable condensation but it’s nothing major and easily manageable with some workaround measures. I got some cooker hood filters and cut them to size to lay on top of the cooker hood to trap the grease and smells more. i also fold a piece of kitchen paper into a square and put that underneath the motor of the fan so if there are any drips through where the motor unit is screwed together (that is the main culprit!) its well absorbed. The filter lasts about 3 months before I change it. The kitchen paper I change every couple of weeks and just to stress its a tiny greasy drip each time that dries up. I just change it for cleanliness when I check it and wipe the side of the fans, as I would anyway even without that issue. The way I see it is it’s still a much better set up than relying on a recirculating hood that doesn’t take the smells or grease outside at all. So the very minor condensation issue is a small price to pay. I was a bit obsessed with it when I posted on here but don’t give it too much thought now… until you posted and reminded me haha! I would suggest though if you have the option you may as well do what you can now while the dirty work is going on for peace of mind. Whatever your builder says there will defnitely be a little condensation whatever the set up, unless you have a really powerful fan or the extra fan on the chimney - its just physics and gravity that can’t be avoided. Either way you want to get it sorted now in my view rather than later as you probably won’t get round to it, as has been the case with us. That said, like I say it’s not a major issue if you have the same results as us. Only thing a few people have said is that over time it will cause the fan to fail but I haven’t noticed any problems yet so all good so far touch wood...See Morerange cooker in island?
Comments (7)To make it look right, It's got to fit proportionally so have some chunky cupboards either side, don't put it at the end with island behind. This is a link to one I've done before and because it was an open plan room, they chose to have a raised seating area to hide it and the mess! https://www.coveykitchens.co.uk/portfolio/Insta-Worthy-Kitchen good luck Emily...See MoreHelp - stylish IPX extractor fan needed urgently!
Comments (3)Hi @pawilkins, Not sure there's many aesthetically pleasing look extractors unfortunately. What about something like this? The fan blades are hidden but no downlight though. Your electrician might be able to source something for you with a light and perhaps with trade discount....See Morerinked

5 years agoHi, just catching up on this. Just got a 73 cm integrated fan - it's an Airforce one. Powerful enough but noisy- but probably no noisier than other chimney hoods I've had. Loving the Rangemaster Nexus though!
Thanks for advice!
