I wouldn't say it's perfect, but It's actually really useful.one of the things i'd seen with the Zanussi and like the idea off that the hob will control the hood. does it actually work as good as it might seem ?
When I turn the power on on the hob, the extractor lights turn on. Then the extractor turns on/increases speed the more stuff you have going (I assume it goes off a temperature sensor in the hob/cacluated off how much power is being used). There are some times it turns the extractor up when I don't think it needs to, and the occasional time it could do with being on, but it's not turned it on yet, but I'd say I probably only interveen & manually change the extractor level once a month at most (and we cook fresh every day).
I wouldn't buy a hob/extractor purely based on that feature, but if it was between 2 that were otherwise identical, I'd definitely get it again.
