We are looking for feedback on telescopic rangehood ventilation systems such as the Gaggenau Telescopic Table Ventilation (AL 400 190). We have an island Gagg induction cooktop and do not want a mounted hood because of the ceiling height and because it will block views from the kitchen. Thanks in advance for any advice!

It's definitely more centered than mine is! My house was built in 1945 when stoves were a lot bigger and that's why my range hood is bigger than my electric stove. Anyway, when you put up your floating shelves, you can either make the left size longer and the right side shorter. It will work that way unless you want symmetry. Then, I would suggest you make the shelves the same size and put them up in the same position on both sides of the range hood, just like a mirror image.

Ok, thanks very much for your time and answer. For some reason the electrical company are saying we need extractors in both the laundry and the scullery?!? We have a heat pump dryer which doesn't need venting either but regardless, just a bit puzzled...

Choosing extractor fans or rage hood over cook tops
