The Sovereign SCH90SSGLC with circular tempered safety glass canopy and electronic controls looks sleek and has 3-speed 190 watt motor to backup its good looks by no-nonsense performance. Maximum extraction rate is very respectable 700 cubic meters per hour. Features include dishwasher-safe aluminium mesh filter, 4 20-watt halogen lamps and optional charcoal filter. At 70 dba this island hood can be a bit noisy, but you can’t beat the £260 price. Available in August 2008. Sovereign Appliances.
