Disappointing
As I love the AEG induction hobs (had previously) and was buying one for a new kitchen in our new home I went for this product as a matching hood and am so disappointed. It does look modern and stylish but even fitted at its highest possible level you have to beware as it is so low I bang my head if I lean forward and I am only 5ft 3 in. The chrome surround is made of very thin, sharp edged metal and mine was scratched while fitting due to the poor instructions despite all precautions taken. Also I find it to be very noisy, although only just started using it. Our team of kitchen fitters found the instructions poor and it took far longer than expected. Just suggest people are very sure before buying as not worth the expense in our opinion, such a shame as we are fans of AEG products - just not this one.
Our hob is superb, shame the island hoods don’t match.
