Purchased model ELIKOR Integra 60 black / black. Good fit, works great, looks good. Excellent value for money. Easy to use - when the lid is pulled out / closed, it automatically turns on / off. Easy installation There is the necessary template for the cutout in the hinged drawer. Good performance in the kitchen of 15 sq.m. you don’t smell when frying, you’re even afraid that the thread might burn and you won’t feel it. It is possible to install carbon filters for the operation of the hood in recirculation mode.
