Product overview
Filterless chimneys suit Indian cooking better than mesh or baffle designs, because there is no filter to clog with oil from frying and tempering. Grease collects in an oil cup instead, which is emptied rather than cleaned. The 1200 m³/hr suction figure is appropriate for a 60 cm hob in a typical apartment kitchen; larger kitchens or heavy frying warrant 1400 or above. Note that suction ratings across brands are not measured under a common standard, so figures are only loosely comparable.
Key capabilities
- 60 cm width for standard hobs
- 1200 cubic metres per hour rated suction
- Filterless design with oil collector cup
- Heat auto-clean and motion sensor control

After a few months
Had this six weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Heat-based auto-clean cycle. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Suction ratings are not comparable across brands. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Checked the weight claim
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Weight". The page says 12 kg, and that is what turned up. Filterless design avoids oil clogging.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Suction ratings are not comparable across brands. Oil cup needs regular emptying. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Filterless design avoids oil clogging. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Large or open kitchens, and heavy commercial-style cooking, which need 1400 m³/hr or more and a 90 cm width. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
