CDA Glass Curved Chimney Hood vs 3 Speed Integrated Extractor Hood - Silver — Comparison

The ECP62SS, sold as the CDA ECP62SS Glass Curved Chimney Hood at £189, is a visible decorative extractor, while the EIN60SI, sold as the CDA EIN60SI 3 Speed Integrated Extractor Hood in silver at £98, is the low-cost integrated alternative. Both are CDA hoods with 3 speed settings, but they sit in different parts of the range: the ECP62SS is for display above the hob, while the EIN60SI is for discreet built-in extraction.

The ECP62SS offers 3 speeds, a 58dB noise rating, push-button control and a dishwasher-safe aluminium grease filter. The EIN60SI provides 3 speed settings, an acrylic grease filter, LED lights and slider control. The ECP62SS has the advantage of a stated noise level and a more durable-sounding dishwasher-safe aluminium filter. The EIN60SI has the advantage of integrated fitting, LED lights and a much lower price. No extraction rate or power figure is supplied for either, so the practical comparison is installation style, control type, filter type and price.

The ECP62SS suits buyers who want the hood to be seen, like a curved-glass chimney design and value the 58dB noise rating. It is worth the extra spend if appearance and filter maintenance matter. The EIN60SI suits budget kitchens, landlords or anyone replacing a simple integrated hood. Its slider controls and acrylic filter are more basic, but at £98 it delivers the essential 3-speed function for much less.

Bottom line: "choose ECP62SS if you want a visible glass curved chimney hood with 58dB noise and dishwasher-safe aluminium filter / opt for EIN60SI if you want a discreet integrated extractor with LED lights for just £98."
