Generic Charcoal Filters for CDA Cooker Hood/Extractor Vents

I use the cooker hood carbon filter to stop fat that gets past the paper filter getting to the fan. my extractor is fairly simple type. This carbon filter fits well and seems to do the job

Nothing to dislike perfect fit easy to install and great value for the money will buy again when needed.

The filter as a product is fine and at a reasonable price. Fitting it to the gas hob filter housing of a CDA manufactured Hob Extractor - ECP P81SS, purchased via a fitted kitchen supplier, was a bit of a problem. The filter body is a very tight fit to get it into the extractor fan housing and a lot of force is needed. Having read reviews by others on CDA electrical products I would consider alternative supplier products as related to the design of the filter housing and the ease of fitting the charcoal filters.

Have used these cooker hood filters for a couple of years now. Seem to do what they’re supposed to.

Surprisingly easy to fit, and if you're sensitive to having your eyes feeling like they are being scorched with a blowtorch when cooking chillies, you too will find them a godsend.

I recently purchased and fitted a new kitchen from Benchmarx. They are a trade only joinery outlet, a bit like Howdens. They basically sell Wickes kitchens but at a discounted rate for tradesman like myself. They can supply a whole range of kitchen appliances including a brand that i've only seen at Benchmarx called CDA. I was trying to keep the price down so opted for a CDA cooker hood. It's the stainless steel chimney type with the curved glass hood, very nice looking.I had the option of using filters or running the fumes out through ducting(the best choice). Building Regs state that the ducting run should be no more than 3 metres and being that the hood was to be sited on a wall opposite to the outside I decided to use filters.Benchmarx had none in stock so I ordered a pair of charcoal filters from amazon. They arrived and thats when the problems started.To fit them you have to remove the mesh grill underneath the hood, no problem there. You then have to get them inside the hood and fit them vertically to the motor on each side. The thing is they wouldn't go in! No matter how I turned or twisted them they would not go through the opening at the bottom (a bit like a square peg in a round hole situation).Eventually I found a way, by distorting them slightly and brute force and in they went. Once inside they fit perfectly onto the motor.Obviously its the hood itself that is the bad design and you wonder why they built it so that the filters are impossible to get through the opening. So this review is more about the CDA hood than the filters but be wary about buying a CDA cooker hood and if you are buying these filters they will test your patience to the hilt. If you can afford it go for a better brand such as Neff or Bosch.

Good replacement filters for cooker hood, easy to change and these are a perfect fit.

Good product, fits my CDA and easy to install. Charcoal seems a bit loose but for the price you can't complain.
