Since I mainly have in my kitchen Siemens devices and I have not seen to spend 60 more for the Identical device company, it has become just the hood of Bosch. I thought so far that the devices are manufactured in Germany. When I looked again due to quality defects, I realized: "made in Italy". These deficiencies are mainly characterized by incorrect clearances and already existing scratches on the back. The hood is used with me in recirculation mode with the new IKEA-Metod cabinets. Unfortunately, the upper opening of the hood exactly between cabinet and door, so that the extracted air is blown directly into the cabinet. In extraction mode I imagine the hood well before as compared to the before that significantly more "WUMS" exists. Visually, the part is really nice, I would buy again but not me ...
